"Come here, baby". As Dennis spoke those words, Bethany turned towards him and said to Dennis, "I'll be right back", before walking past Shana towards the stairs. Shana stood rooted to her spot unable to move or look away. Before Bethany could reach the doorknob, Dennis pulled Bethany's hand. "You stay here. I want to show Shana what you told me yesterday" Dennis smirked. Shana was confused by what Dennis said. Instead of finding out about the tattoo on Bethany's hand, Dennis discussed about Shana with Bethany. What was he talking about with Bethany, she thought."What are you doing?" Shana asked him." We will start with your favorite parts," say Dennis ignoring Shana.Dennis started to play with Bethany's breasts. From right to left. Bethany squirming and panting. Dennis began to lick and suck on Bethany's nipples which seemed like it would leave marks on Bethany's skin. Shana stood watching them. Suddenly she felt an uncomfortable feeling."Why are you making me wait?" Bethany
After the incident, Shana decided to stay at her parent's house. The night breeze blew across Shana's skin causing goosebumps to appear on it. The sky was covered by thick dark clouds which were threatening rain any minute. Shana sat on the steps staring at the stars twinkling brightly as if mocking her. Her hands trembled as tears fell freely from her eyes. It has been more than twelve hours since she last saw Dennis and the thought of him leaving her alone made her heartache and her stomach turn. A soft warm hand gently wrapped around hers pulling Shana away from the cold steps."Hey."Shana looked into Dennis's eyes."Come inside and have some tea with me," said Dennis smiling softly.Without waiting for Shana to respond, Dennis led her towards the door of the porch of her parent's home. The porch had a swing attached to one side of the porch; a small table with two chairs sat in between the two swings. In the middle, there was a stone fireplace which provided warmth throughout th
"Okay. Come on." Dennis led the way to his car. He opened the trunk to reveal the box containing his things.Shana climbed inside the passenger seat and sat comfortably. Dennis handed her the box containing her belongings before taking his place behind the steering wheel.Dennis drove slowly towards Shana's home, the radio playing soft classical music which reminded him of her. Although he wasn't sure whether or not his thoughts were correct and if he should have done more for her, he felt that he deserved at least that much. He remembered the days he was alone and felt lonely and he wondered if there was any way he could find someone to take care of him. When he was at work, he usually kept himself busy and tried to avoid thinking about the fact that the person who would always be at his side will go left him. Shana looked outside the window as Dennis drove. The roads were empty. There were only the occasional cars and pedestrians walking along the sidewalks. Cars passed one another
Shana sat cross-legged on the chair on the balcony, waiting for Dennis to finish with his studies for his new role. She looked up to the sky and watched clouds rolling past each other."It looks beautiful here". Shana sighed. She placed the magazine on the table and turned around. As she observed the landscape around her, she smiled. She was enjoying the peace of the secluded garden behind the apartment. The trees surrounded her but did not touch the garden. The bushes were tall but not so tall that they would cause branches to fall down or even obstruct her view. Birds were chirping loudly; making the scene seem quite peaceful. The weather was nice today."Shana?", Dennis headed to the balcony and greeted.Shana rose to meet Dennis. He held a small box with a bouquet inside it. "For you", Dennis smiled. "It's a mix of red and purple hydrangeas", he said as he passed her the bouquet."Thank you" Shana took the flowers from him."It's pretty chilly outside, I thought you might like
The sun was beginning its descent below the horizon. The sky was turning into shades of orange and pink. It was quiet. Shana was leaning against the couch while Dennis was sitting beside her. He gently ran his hand through Shana's hair."Are you still mad?", asked Dennis quietly.Shana looked down and sighed. She nodded silently."I'm sorry", she mumbled."Don't apologize", Dennis whispered.Shana stayed silent and remained still. She continued watching Dennis running his fingers through her hair. She could feel herself getting sleepy."Sleep", Dennis whispered again.She slowly lowered her head onto the couch and fell asleep.***The next morning, Shana and Dennis go to the police station to give Mr.Martinez a picture of Erik. "What can we do?" asked Shana.Mr.Martinez was busy typing away at his keyboard. He turned to face Shana and Dennis, " I'll ask my subordinates to get some of our old files and search for Erik".A few minutes later, one of Mr.Martinez's assistants entered the
A short amount of days passed and Shana and Dennis were beginning to lose hope. Their searches hadn't produced any results nor had anyone else been able to identify Erik or his friends. The two of them were starting to give up and think that the best thing they could do to protect each other is wait for them to come for them. Both of them had decided that they would stay together during those times in order to ensure that nothing happens to each other. It wasn't necessary; however, it was nice to have some kind of reassurance. Shana had begun working on the computer and had started to search through the web searching software. She wanted to find a connection between Erik and Bethany. She kept on asking Dennis whenever there was a chance.She had also searched through newspapers and magazines searching for any possible news stories or reports about Erik. But no such articles appeared, so she began to focus on other things.She was looking into different cases regarding kidnapping. Sh
Dennis approached Shana after seeing Shana chatting with the man until he didn't realize he was in the Chalet. "Hi, Shana. I'm glad I found you," he said as he wrapped his arms around Shana's back. "Oh, you have a friend. I'm Dennis. Shana's husband. Nice to meet you" Dennis continued to extend his hand to greet the man. The man greeted Dennis. Dennis gripped the man's hand tightly as if warning him not to disturb Shana because Shana was his."Nice to meet you too" answered the man confused. Dennis turned his attention back to Shana who wasn't listening to whatever the man was saying. "What are we going to do next? she asked. Dennis smiled widely at her and took her by the wrist, leading her away from that man and towards their room."We go first. Have fun" said Shana and smiled at the man. "Alright. Nice to meet you" the man replied to Shana. Shana waved her hand goodbye. "Who is that man?" Dennis asked curiously. " I don't know. I met him behind this Chalet smoking in a non-smo
(ERIK AND BETHANY POV)Bethany looked panicked after leaving Dennis' house that morning. He quickly left the building and headed to his house. After arriving home, Bethany called Erik. "Hurry and answer. The answer, answer!" Bethany hopes Erik will answer her call. After a few rings, Erik answered the phone. "I think they know about us", Bethany voiced her concern. "Who? Who are they?" Erik asked not understanding what Bethany said.Bethany sighed, "Dennis and Shana". "Oh no! I'm coming over to your place right away. Stay there, ok?"Bethany hung up her phone and put on some clothes. While changing, she remembered all the things she heard from Dennis and Shana.Erik arrived 20 minutes later. Bethany opened the door for him to enter the house."We need to talk", Erik spoke sternly looking serious.Bethany followed him to the kitchen where he poured himself a glass of water. She sat beside him while drinking her glass of orange juice."What's going on? Is everything okay?", Bethany w
Dennis ran his fingers through Shana's dark brown locks.He had no idea whether or not it was possible, but Shana was even more beautiful now than before. She looked much healthier and less pale.His mind was wandering again. Was she feeling better? Would she be able to go home today? He didn't know anything about the case anymore, other than what he heard from Detectives Martinez, Halsey, and Agent Billie. As far as he was concerned, the case was over. The kidnapper has already been caught. There was no reason to keep working on the case and he hoped that things would turn out the way they planned to.Dennis noticed that Shana had fallen asleep. He leaned down and planted a kiss on top of her head."I love you too, baby" whispered Dennis softly into her ears.Dennis slowly pulled away from the kiss and gazed into Shana's eyes."I never knew love could look this beautiful." Dennis sighed. "Love is beautiful, isn't it?" Said Detective Martinez.Dennis
He followed the doctors to a room across the hall. They entered the room and closed the door behind them.They waited until a nurse walked in with a clipboard to take their names and ask them about their injuries. "Sir, your wife is stable. We gave her some sedatives to help her with the seizures. She is still unconscious at the moment but the doctor said that we should monitor her to see when she wakes up. We also brought some blankets so she won't get cold when she wakes up" replied the Nurse.It was a few hours before Shana regained consciousness. The first thing she noticed when she woke up was that her throat was parched. She rubbed her dry lips and blinked multiple times trying to clear away the sleepiness. As soon as her eyes focused she was able to make out the three people in the room, Dennis and Detective Martinez. She smiled and looked away from Dennis who was leaning against the door.She turned her head towards Detective Martinez and sat up straight on
"Let's go. We should start our investigation in his house now. Then we will meet up with Agent Billie and Agent Lewis,"" I'm coming along." Said, Dennis.They drove over to Erik's house and parked in front of the house next door. Dennis and Detective Martinez climbed out of the car and headed for Erik's side of the car. Dennis knocked on the door and waited for a response. After some time Erik came to open the door, dressed in nothing but boxer shorts. He had an unbuttoned shirt hanging loose on his chest and they all walked inside the house. "Come in detective Martinez and Sir. How can I help you." Erik pretends not to know Dennis."Hello Erik, I'm glad to see you're awake and well, although I would not consider it to be a 'well'."Erik chuckled at Detective Martinez's remark and invited them inside the living room and offered them both to sit down."How is it going detective?" Erik asked, taking a seat opposite them."Not so well."" I'm sorry to
" Good evening Detective Martinez, please take a seat," said Halsey.Martinez sat down and Halsey gave a USB drive to Martinez to look at." Look here Detective Martinez," said Halsey.Martinez opened the USB drive and looked through it, looking over each document that Halsey showed. Finally, Martinez closes it." So, how did you find all this evidence?" He asked Halsey." By asking questions of the nurses and doctors at different hospitals. I told them to check which hospital they saw Erik's presence at."" Why did you do that?"" Because I think that Shana may have been kidnapped to get revenge"" I agree with you, Hal. But you know that Erik isn't a man to play games. And even when Erik takes her somewhere, he would never leave a trace behind"" But we cannot know for sure if he is capable of doing something like this. And I also want to tell you that he knows how to use his skills well. We don't know if this is a kidnapping. So we need to
" I'm afraid it was the same, Lisa. " Said, Dennis." Ok, now we should search for Erik. Search where he is now. And Dennis, where is Bethany now? She might be involved in this case. "" I don't know her whereabouts. After she miscarried, she said she wanted to find peace. From that day on, I could not contact him again. "" What hospital did she attend? " Detective Martinez asked Dennis." Hospital Yoo"" Billie and Lewis you go to hospital Yoo and asked about Bethany. "Billie nods before leaving the interrogation room followed by Agent Lewis."Alright. Let's try to find out if Erik was seen at the hospital when Shana disappeared" Halsey said and left the interrogation room following Billie.After about two hours of searching, they still didn't have any information about the case."So, I guess we wait until Billie finds out something new." Halsey sighed.A few moments later Billie returned saying that he had gotten some information."Well?" Asked Halsey." I just talked to the nurse
After spending almost half an hour looking around, they still didn’t find Shana. It seemed like they never would. Agent Lewis was getting more and more frustrated with the lack of results in finding the missing girls. The only thing keeping him calm was that Detective Halsey and Agent Billie were still on top of the investigation.They decided to move on from the neighborhood area and search the other areas. So after leaving Detective Martinez to keep watch for anyone suspicious, the team split up and moved into different streets surrounding the location. Some went south while others went north. It was almost midnight when they met at an intersection."Find anything interesting?" asked Halsey as he noticed Agent Billie running towards them."Nothing so far. I've tried to get an eye on every car driving past here. There's nobody suspicious or unknown in sight."Halsey and Agent Billie looked around and noticed there were several cars parked on the street in front of the house belonging
"So where is this Annie live?" asked Halsey."New York. It was said that she's moving.""Where?""We don't know yet sir, but we're trying our hardest to find it.""Well, keep your eyes peeled. If anything comes out, I need to know about it as fast as possible. Call me when you know something""Yes sir," the men said."Good, now go. You've done enough work today and you should go home. Take care of yourself"" Thank you, sir"Halsey hung up the call. He sighed deeply then sat in his office and leaned over his desk. He stared blankly at his hands that were resting on the desk. His mind is in turmoil. All those times when they had problems, he never imagined that it would happen again. Why? Because of Shana, no doubt. Shana was always there for him. Whenever he was troubled, she'd be there beside him. He remembered one particular incident. 20 years ago, he and Shana met. he wanted to take pictures of the mountains for inspiration while on her summer brea
Dennis panicked when the line is severed"Shana! Shana! "Are you still there?" Dennis exclaimed. Dennis is concerned about Shana's whereabouts. He began to feel bad about himself. He should not have left Shana alone that night.Dennis sighed, "I'm sorry, Shana."He was at a loss for what to do. Dennis decided to consult Halsey first."Hello, Halsey. Shana called earlier" " Shana called? What did she say? Where is she now? Is she safe?" Halsey bombarded him with questions."But the call was cut off before I could say hello," Dennis said, his voice sad. "What should I do?" he continued. "Have you tried calling back?"" Yes. But it appears that her phone has been turned off."Has she been apprehended by her kidnappers again?" "Now, go to the police station and meet with Detective Martinez; tell him everything you told me earlier." "I'll be right there with you," Halsey advised Dennis. "Thank you, Halsey. I appreciate it," The call ended with Dennis leaving the house. Dennis drove to t
After 5 minutes of tying the clothes, the length of the clothes has reached the ground. Shana went down without hesitation, using the clothes she had just tied into a rope. Shana has reached the bottom in less than a minute. Shana not only made it to the bottom, but she also climbed out of the way. Shana was perplexed by the location once she arrived at the road. She'd never been in that neighborhood before. Shana chose to walk straight until her cell phone received a signal line. Shana noticed a gas station not far from where she was standing after walking for an hour. Shana kept walking quickly to the station and entered the gas station shop. Shana sat in the back seat to avoid being noticed by people she knew. The phone call was finally connected after several attempts. Shana didn't notice Erik had found her because she was too busy trying to call Dennis. Erik confiscated Shana's phone before she could speak with Dennis."What..." Shana looked at Erik."What are you doing
