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
The next day, Bethany received a phone call from Bethany. Bethany panicked. "Hey, baby," Bethany answered in a cheerful voice."Hi. Where are you?" Dennis asks in a stern voice."Oh. I'm in Japan. I had a photoshoot here. Sorry for not telling you." Bethany said to lie to Dennis." Oh okay. Take care" Dennis hang up on her. Not long after that, Shana called Erik. Seeing that, Bethany forbade Erik to answer the phone from Shana. "There must be something they want to know. Don't answer her calls. You should change your number" Bethany forbade Erik to answer Shana's calls. Shana's calls went silent in a few minutes."Now we need to think of what we have to do to separate Shana and Dennis", Bethany was so excited about that plans. Erik nodded silently.A few days later, Bethany sent some files over to Erik. In these files, he had found information about the members of the team he worked for. This led him to think that they were not going to succeed."You said that the others will come
"So are we working together or apart?""Together", answered Bethany simply."Great. Now let's discuss our plan of action.", said Erik excitedly. He loved to plan stuff like this. And Bethany's enthusiasm always brought him joy and happiness. Bethany looked over at Erik and raised an eyebrow. Erik just laughed and shook his head at her. He was getting way too used to her teasing. They continued discussing how to proceed in their plan of attack. They decided to leave in the early morning, to avoid attracting attention to themselves by leaving in the middle of the night. Of course, this meant that they would have to move fast. Bethany and Erik discussed the rest of what they needed to do. The next morning, Erik called the people he had arranged to meet him in London to arrange a flight to London. Once the arrangements were made, they left for the airport as soon as possible.***Two hours after arriving in London, they boarded a private plane bound for a nearby airstrip. Nobody seemed to
It was another few hours later when Bethany was finally ready to go to her meeting with Dennis. Bethany and Erik had agreed on what they were going to say. Bethany would try to convince Dennis that she is pregnant. Hopefully, her plan will be successful. Bethany was wearing a black skirt with a red lace pattern, a white tank top with a small jacket, and black heels. She had decided to use makeup but decided against doing her hair. If she does, it will surely distract anyone who may see her. So she left it loose and messy. As she stepped into the restaurant, immediately smiled at her. Dennis looked at Bethany, surprised. Bethany gave Dennis a little wave before walking toward him and standing in front of the table. He stood up and hugged her enthusiastically."It's great to see you again", Bethany whispered."How are you?". Dennis answered with concern, looking closely into her face. He suddenly felt scared, when he saw tears in Bethany's eyes. Bethany didn't reply but continued to loo
After a few hours of tossing and turning in bed, Bethany finally woke up. She got out of bed, walked to the bathroom, and started taking a shower. By the time she finished showering and changing, Erik was sitting in the dining room reading a newspaper. He looked up from the newspaper when he heard her coming downstairs. He quickly rose from his chair and walked over to her and gave her a big bear hug. Erik kissed her on the cheek affectionately. He didn't say anything for a minute or two. He looked deep into her eyes searchingly and finally spoke:" Did Dennis believe you?""Yes. He did. I need to use all my skills for him o believe me. I need to pretend to cry for him to sympathize with me but it's not enough for him to stay over at my house. How about you?""Me? How about me?" Erik asks confusing."Yes. You. You want to kidnap Shana right? How's the plan?" Erik scratched his head, "I haven't decided yet. I've already contacted my friends and told them to meet me outside our apartme
(Back to Shana and Dennis's POV)Dennis received a phone call from Bethany saying that they need to meet. There is something important that Bethany needs to tell him in person."Alright. See you in the restaurant near your apartment", Dennis said. "Is that Bethany? Aren't she in Japan?" Shana asked."Yes. She came back for a moment to discuss important matters with me. After that, she will return to Japan again to resume his shooting which was interrupted"" Oh, okay then" Shana didn't care about that. Bethany must want to talk about the tattoo on her hand, thought Shana. When Dennis arrived at the restaurant where they promised to meet, Bethany is not there yet. Dennis was waiting for Bethany, not long after that, Bethany arrived and found him sitting alone at one of the tables drinking tea and eating something. Bethany sat down opposite him and took off her sunglasses. Bethany looked at him in surprise, but before she could open her mouth and ta
Dennis also returned to his house. At home, Shana is already waiting for Dennis to arrive. couldn't wait to find out the purpose of Bethany wanting to meet Dennis. She's curious and wanted to know the reason for it.Once Dennis entered the house, he walked straight to the kitchen and began preparing himself a coffee. It would be rude not to offer Shana one too, so he prepared himself two cups and brought them upstairs to the living room. As soon as he entered the living room, he could tell Shana was nervous. She seemed to be struggling between whether to ask something or not, to which Dennis replied with a nod to signal her to do whatever it is."Why were Bethany wanted to meet you?", Shana asked, still hesitating."Oh, yeah" Dennis answered nonchalantly, placing the cups on the small coffee table in front of the sofa. "She wanted to talk about something." "Which is?"After a few seconds of silence, Shana asked again," Dennis?She said with a hint of disappointment in her voice.Den
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
