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

    Shana sat up abruptly, the covers falling from her shoulders. Her face was grimaced in concentration, a frown creasing her forehead. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand, it was almost five in the morning. She looked at her husband, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch. The painkillers she had given him must have taken effect, she concluded. After taking one last glance at Dennis, she slipped out of the blanket, careful not to wake him and tip over.When Shana stood in the kitchen, she started rummaging through her cupboards for some food. She found some cheese and crackers, poured some milk into a bowl, and then added two spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream, mixing them before filling the bowl. She then moved back into the balcony and carefully picked up Dennis' phone. She searched on the internet and scrolled through several sites until she came across an article she was interested in.Shana read the headline, "Harmful shooting at the St. Jude yesterday", and click the link att

    After Dennis had gotten off the phone, he sat down, his eyes locked onto Shana, waiting patiently to hear whatever it was she needed to say. There was a brief silence between them until Shana spoke first."What were you thinking? You can barely walk, let alone get up from the couch!" Shana said angrily."I know that, I already told you. I'm ok, don't worry" Dennis assured, looking away shyly."But why do you always put yourself in danger, especially for someone like her?" Shana questioned, staring directly at him, her hazel eyes brimming with tears and anger. She lowered her head, avoiding eye contact."Because I love her," Dennis replied calmly."Why?!" Shana exclaimed angrily."Because I care for her. Because I want to protect " Dennis replied.Shana remained silent. Silence filled the air, but neither of them spoke. Shana was lost in thought and didn't know how to respond to Dennis's reply.At last, when the silence became unbearable, she spoke,"So, are you going there? Isn't s

    " Why? I need to tell them that I'm safe. " Shana said. "No. Nobody will be able to find you in your current state.""I need to call my friends. They must be worried sick about me by now.""Do you think I wanted you to go back to them like this?"Erik sounded angry. The anger and frustration in his voice were evident and it scared her, so much so that tears began streaming down her face again. When she stopped crying, Erik continued talking,"If anyone finds out, they might try to attack you. I don't want that." Then why won't you let me call them?" "Shana-" "Erik, please! If you keep me hidden from my family forever, who knows what else that woman might do! I can't live like this anymore, I have to tell them that I'm safe!" "It's too dangerous, Shana. Even if I let you tell them, I guarantee that they would never believe you and it would just put you in more danger than you already are." "You can't stop me, Erik!" "I'm trying to, damnit. This isn't easy for me to do! And if w

    Shana decided to take a dip in the swimming pool. Shana went back into the house to look at the clothes she could use to take a shower in the swimming pool. Shana was surprised to see so many women's clothes in the closet. From sexy clothing to clothing that completely covers the body. "He must have brought a slew of girlfriends with him. This must be his girlfriend's clothing collection. I don't want to put them on." Shana pondered in her heart. Shana continued to look through the clothes until she came across a shirt that was still in its packaging and still had a price tag on it. "Hmm, this dress is stunning. I want to put it on. Erik is to blame for not allowing me to go out. Let me use everything here. However, this dress is extremely revealing." Shana addressed herself. The shirt is worn at the chest and does not cover the shoulders; in other words, it only covers the breasts. The skirt falls off one side of the thigh, exposing a little bit more skin than usual. Shana thought.

    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

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.

    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

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?"

    " 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.
