Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! After.
Alicia, in a daze, walks backstage where all the models are waiting for her, fury written in the lines on their faces. The lines that previously applied makeup had covered but now it's obvious, and it seems like they've all gone up years older than when they just walked the runway few minutes earlier. Wendy is the first to come forward. With the sequin gown in her hand, she looks right into her eyes and flings it down by her feet. "Do you know how much hit this has done to my reputation? Why is it so fucking hard to find honest fashion designers lately? Do you have to steal?" "I didn't..." She starts, hoping to defend herself somehow. "Shove it. Didn't you see this? I looked through all the seam points and lines in the gown and it's exactly the same thing. Save that lie for your family because they are the only ones that I might believe you." Alicia takes the phone from her and looks at it. The search is "2007 Fall Collection for Frederick Gandelier" and there it was. Althoug
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Future Whooping.
That evening, Mika drank two full glasses of bubbly champagne, watching the video she had filmed and made live on YouTube and kept on laughing at Alicia's facial expressions.Her face when Frederick had screamed that the cloth was his and he had been plagiarized, her face had been priceless. She succumbs to her inner voice and screenshots it, making it into a meme and sharing it on her anonymous account that's now having about ten thousand followers on YouTube.Streaming the live had given her some sort of account access and now she has followers. She even had another reward in the reward of seeing Alicia's downfall.Luc smiles beside her as he sips from his own glass. "Are you that excited over that?""It's excitement and elation at the same time. I mean, I've never been mean to anyone, never schemed so much and now it seems like I'm a boss at it. Well, not a boss exactly but I mean, it certainly takes a level of skill to do this." She looks up at him, a smile in her eyes and lips. "
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! At the School.
The next morning, there's absolutely no rush from everyone. Maya and Miles were adequately taken care of Mikayla while, surprisingly, Luc made breakfast for them all.By the time it's all set and they are dressed, they all meet at the table for a breakfast of Mac and cheese."This is good Dad." Miles is the first to compliment while the others just hm their agreement, including Mika.He smiles as he eats as well. "Thank you very much but there's something called table manners."Miles smiles and nods.Mika, shakes her head at the terrible way of taking a compliment. She turns to Miles who sitting on her left and whispers. "Don't mind your Dad. He's just not good at taking a compliment."Miles smiles again and whispers back at her. "You're talking while eating.""I'm a grown up, I can talk when I want."Both of them laugh and Maya rolls her eyes."Dad? I want you to teach me how to drive."Luc looks right at her. "Hm?""Teach me to drive.""Why? You're still too young to know how to do
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Right and Left Cheek!
All of the parents file into the class with the teacher in front. He's a pudgy man with a slightly large belly but not big enough to be called a pot belly. He has a scattered mane of dirt brown hair and it falls in wisps down his ears."Good morning sirs snd mas. Say welcome to your parents."All the children turn around and wave, except the twins.Mika had told them that morning that they should not show the presence of their parents there so they can see how he really treats them in class. Obviously, the teacher notices as they didn't turn around so he just assumes that their parents are not around and it's an avenue to use them as examples in his class."So we are starting the mathematics class now." He turns to the board and writes down a basic topic of division.Trying to make the class interactive and fun, he turns to the children with a smile that obviously doesn't suit him. "Who can tell me what division means?"He looks around and there's no hand up at first, but then Maya's
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Meeting the Scarred Man.
Daniella sighs for the umpteenth time as she wanders around the city, looking around for help wanted signs or vacancy notices outside large buildings.Of course, she's started to regret just resigning like that, on an angry whim. "I'm so stupid. Good jobs are so hard to find lately." She mutters to herself as she crosses the road after the light turns red for cars and green for passengers.Just then, a black van stops in front of her.The back door opens and a man exits with a mask on his face.Immediately sensing danger and insecurity, she begins to back away but the man is quite fast and before a person can blink to see what's happening, she's been carried into the car and the sliding doors closed.The car zooms right off and of course, it's a busy thursday afternoon which means many people see it happen but everyone cares about themselves anyway, so a broad daylight kidnap is not one of their day's worries thereby as soon as the van drives off, others continue their own activities,
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Justice is Served.
Dean Lawney comes forward and stands between Mika and the teacher. "Ma'am, you had promised there won't be any violence." She states.Mika smiles apologetically. "I'm sorry ma'am. He promised no violence and I vouched for him, not me. I'm free because he hit my children with his filthy hands. Hit my daughter in her backside with that same hands. How do you expect me take that sitting down?""I understand your worries ma'am but..."Luc comes and stands right beside Mika. "I don't think there's any buts here. You're going to have to choose between keeping this teacher and losing me and my children from this school. I assure you, you don't want to pick the wrong thing."Right in the class next door, Lily takes Connor into his class and helps him settle down. "I'm sorry he's coming so late ma'am. I dressed him up late and he went to bed late because of his assignments."Some loud voices filter with the air into their class and Lily uses the opportunity to ask. "If you don't mind me asking
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Deceiving the Deceptors.
Daniella woke to the sound of a car pulling up outside her house. Peeking through the curtains, she spotted the familiar black van parked by the curb. Anxiety gripped her chest as she hurriedly gathered her essentials and dashed downstairs. Her heart's in her mouth, she can't run away, she's pretty much trapped, trapped doing something she absolutely doesn't want to.The men in black suits were already at her doorstep, impassive as ever. One of them even nodded curtly, or maybe as a joke as she approached. "Daniella, please come with us. We have a flight to catch. We have to hurry."Flight? Daniella's mind raced. Somehow, she had thought they would have left her alone or something. Maybe it was just a late June prank, a massive one. Maybe it was all just a dream and she needed to wake up. But... It doesn't seem like it anymore. She entered into the car obediently and sat down, even having enough courage to wound down the window to let the breeze of San Francisco hit her in the face.I
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Coincidences.
Luc is the one who wakes Mika up the next morning with a gentle knock on her door.Groggy at how early it is but it's not exactly early but because she's not heading anywhere the whole day until later in the evening, she walks to the door and opens it for him, stepping aside so he can come inside the dimly lit room. As soon as she sees its Luc, her eyes open up immediately and she's completely awake. She uses her hands to ruffle her hair into place and he chuckles."It's fine, I'm sorry for waking you up so early. I just had to give you something." He outstretched his arm to her with a small envelope.She looks at him first before taking it, her hands finally leaving her hair but as soon as it does, it springs back into its former, bedridden place making Luc chuckle into his hands. She tears open the envelope with both of them standing in the middle of the room awkwardly. She opens the invitation inside and she gasps softly. She looks up at him with elated eyes. "This is...""Yes, it

"Do you, Bethany Mikayla Callaghan, take this man, Lucas Pierce Santinello to be your husband?" "I do." Her crisp voice shouts in the beautiful wheat field where the wedding is being held. "Do you, Lucas Pierce Santinello, take this woman, Bethany Mikayla Callaghan to be your wife?" "I DO!" He yells even louder, looking handsome in his new haircut and tailored Italian suit. "This two are now pronounced husband and wife." "You're now fully mine, CEO of Mi-nello Group." Bethany laughs. "See a whole Conglomerate CEO talking to a small person like me." "Ooh, I plan to show you tonight that you're not small and neither am I." She laughs. "You naughty man." She whispers as she leans in for a kiss. Amidst the whoops and holler, Lucas kisses his wife on the lips, causing there to be a ripple of jealousy in the crowd. Both Miles and Maya comes forward to hug their parents and pose for a family picture. Lucas picks up Maya while Mikayla picks up Miles, all beaming at the camera, the f

Of course, after dramatically disrupting the ongoing funeral, Grey, Smith and a couple other officers walk to the front of the coffin."Sorry to disrupt this perfectly ongoing funeral of a woman who committed suicide..."The whispers begin. They had been told she died in her sleep after all."Mr Reese Anderson, you're under arrest for the murder of Ronald and Minta Callaghan and Price Woods, your daughter's late husband."The entire hall is thrown into intense chatter and chaos.For the first time in days, Lily's eyes regains focus. "What?"Grey turns to look at her. "You knew your father killed your husband and yet you protected him. You're also under arrest for aiding and abetting murder.""Who is Ronald and Minta Callaghan?" Lily asks, completely ignoring the words of the officer of her own arrest."The parents of Bethany Callaghan who we all know to be Mikayla Anderson."That's the final straw."I killed Mum... I killed Mum... I killed Mum..." Lily begins to mutter again, throwin
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Home.
The same time, Lucas pays the taxi driver, gun securely in his back and Mikayla in his side.He holds her hands and since it's his house, he's able to know the nook and cranny of the house, including places where you can get in without being spotted by any cameras.He leads them to the side where there is a doggie fence. "I'm sorry." He whispers to Mikayla as they both have to crouch to pass through the place.Mikayla shoots him a smile and a thumbs up as she comes out after him.He holds her hand once again, and as slowly and as stealthily as possible, they make their way to the back door which serves as their entrance into the house.As soon as the door clicks shut behind them, they both sigh in relief.Just then, the lights turn on and they are standing right in the middle of the kitchen, lights shining down on them.The man who gets them immediately yells and pulls out a gun. "Down!" He yells and they comply. He is joined by two other men and they drag them out to living room whe
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Reassurances and Ramblings
Lucas and Mikayla are laying flat on the ground, late at night with different cars speeding by, watching and peeking out at the scene with every one of them having something to say in one way or the other.Outside the car, the listening bug should hit be able to do much so when a police car arrives on the scene and out comes Grey, Lucas sighs in relief, happy that the officer had received his message in time and had come to help him out."Sir!" The patrol officers salute their higher subordinate."At ease. Can you release them? They are currently on a mission.""What?" The patrol officers look at one another in confusion. "There is a body in the car.""And if it's not a body?" Grey asks, stepping forward and using his higher up voice."Uhm..." The officer is at loss of words. "Well, it looks exactly like a body.""Well, let me tell you something. They don't want the help of the police as it may jeopardize the lives of their children. The children were kidnapped from school earlier tod

Mikayla begins to shiver in the cool weather.Lucas stands outside, a look of immense fury on his face from what Logan is asking him to do. He grabs his phone and dials Logan who picks up on the second ring."Do you like what the package looks like? Cute, isn't it?"Lucas, seething... "What the fuck are you asking me to do? Tie up another loose end for you? What do you want from me exactly? Stop tormenting I and my woman and my family and just tell me what you're after.""This is cute but you're forgetting that I am your family too? Anyway, I do want something from you but it's extent is what I'm yet to decide on. You can start by disposing off the body first. Maybe when you finish this mission, just maybe, I might have my request ready.""So you mean this is not the fucking end of it?""Depends on how you act and what you're doing now is making me think of murdering someone else, maybe your daughter since she looks the most scared here. I'm waiting to see the body at the bottom of th
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! Mission Number One
The day before, Lucas and Mikayla had left the school around six pm that evening, driving off in the direction of the apartment where Lucas had met him just four days earlier.Their meeting had not ended well then, and it does not look like it will now.Lucas receives a text message from his number, Logan. He pulls up by the sidewalk to check it."If you think you will find me at the same location as the other times, you're kidding yourselves. I told you clearly, you do what I ask you to do or you're in deep shit. You'll never see your precious children again. You'll receive the first directions in a little bit. I want you to keep going to the apartment though, your first mission is over there."Lucas punches the steering wheel, startling Mikayla a bit, her nerves are still frayed, getting so worried about her children and even worse, they are still in the hands of a maniac that no one knows where they are.Cursing under his breath, he starts the car once again and the journey continu

About to head out of the cafe, Grey pays for the coffee both men had taken with his card.Stepping outside, he inhales the crisp cool air and sighs.His phone ringing distracts him from the search of his keys and he sees the caller to be Smith."Hello Smith? Can I help you tonight?""Where are you right now?""I had a meeting with Mr Santinello and I am heading off to my bed. Do you have something for me?""Certainly. Can you drop by the office before heading home?"Grey groans. "I hope for your own sake that it is something worth my time, if not, you'll spend the whole remainder of this week in the holding cell and I mean it."Smith laughs. "Sure then. Just come on over first."Grumbling, groaning, tired, weary, weak, sleepy... All of the states of mind Grey experiences before appearing at the office. He slouches up the stairs to the office where he meets Smith bending over a computer."What do you have for me?""Before I show you, I did it to show that I did not take my job as a jok
Mr L. Santinello, I've Got Your Kids! The Missing Duo.
Mikayla rushes into her car and drives off in the direction of the school, running late after a meeting, just barely ten minutes after the original closing time, she finally parks there.Not seeing any of the twins where she usually picks them up and wait for her no matter what, not even their bags to indicate that they probably just went to use the toilet, she gets down from the car and looks around to no avail.She locks up the car and walks over to the classes but it's empty, even down to the teachers, there is no one in sight that can be of help so she leaves for the school's administration building.She's immediately directed to the Dean who receives her warmly."Good afternoon ma'am. I hope all is well? Considering that you didn't call ahead to inform us about your coming.""I'm sorry as well but I ran a bit behind in picking the children up. I'm here now but I can't seem to find them.""I'm pretty sure they left the classes as soon as the school closed. You know what, children

"It's after school time. Come on, Mum is coming to pick us up." Mikes iterates as he slings his small backpack over his back and carries the lunch bag in his hands.Maya does the same thing, grabbing her back and lunch bag as well as the two of them walk in tow to where Mikayla usually showed up to pick them up, almost immediately after school.Just as they arruved, a black SUV parks in front of them.Both of them walk to the car, waiting for Mika to come out and give them hugs as she always does before tucking then in and putting their seat belts on before leaving but this time, a tall man comes out.Miles immediately steps back, standing in front of Maya to protect her... Or something like that."Hi Miles and Maya. I am Ben. Mikayla sent me to pick you up.""No. We won't go with you." Miles replies immediately.The man laughs, removing his sunglasses to reveal brown, almost friendly eyes. "Mika told me that you will say the same thing and that when you do, I should show you this."
