Caiden still went toward her against her wishes. He said, "That is not true, Kamara. How could you believe that? This accusation was unknown to me." "Can you not lie to me right now, Caiden?" Her sobbing became so intense that Kamara was left gasping for air. Then he put both of his hands on her face, making Kamara meet his gaze. "Eyes on me Kamara? Do you think I'm the kind of leader who feels sorry for his people and does things for them because of that?" Caiden's eyes were gleaming brightly, pain evident in his eyes. "Do you truly believe that everything I ever said to you was a lie? She was unable to reply anymore, though. Her voice trailed off into sobs. With his fingertips moving softly over her damp face, Caiden leaned in closer to her. Feeling his heart thumping in his chest, he said, "I loved you, Kamara, like I will never love anyone else in my life, I will find out if your parents' deaths were caused by my father." Kamara, though, didn't appear to believe him. She
Enzo said to her with difficulty, "Caiden doesn't deserve all the love you have to give him. Once Kamara is gone, you will have his heart all to yourself." That didn't comfort her, though. Jessie sprang to her feet, her nerves exploding. She tried to still her heart by placing her shaking hands on her chest. The thought that Caiden never forgot about Kamara hurt her so bad. The knowledge that they were now together, doing who knew what, was much worse. She sobbed. It was inevitable that a tear would fall. All she wanted to do was run to wherever he was and drag him away from there, bringing him home.She wiped away her tears and set aside her anguish to tend to her brother's wounds. "We need to take care of these wounds," she said."I may not have murdered Kamara, but I certainly planted discord in her heart. Don't worry, Jessie," he stroked her damp face with his fingertips. "I'm sure that Kamara would never want to see Caiden in front of her again after what I said. I've ruined the
Matt tucked his hands into his jeans pockets and peered deeply at Nate. He suggested, "Let's go out for coffee and speak about it.""I do not have time," Nate stated urgently. Nate was sweating profusely from every pore on his body. "Listen, four children have been kidnapped, and I must find them.It sounded urgent, and he glanced at him with mistrust, knowing Nate was keeping a significant secret. "What is going on, Nate?""I can not go into much detail," he continued, wiping the sweat from his brow, "until I know I can count on you.""Of course, you know can trust me, Nate," he replied, taking his hands out of his pockets and laying them on the man's shoulder. "Tell me when the police complaint was made. I will figure out who is behind the investigation.""No report was made," he said, raising Matt's suspicions. "They are the children of the woman suspected of killing a woman in the city a few weeks back."Matt had to dig into his memory for the knowledge Nate was telling him, and w
Caiden shut his eyes, eradicating every emotion from his body. He refused to allow Kamara to cause him pain. He remarked in a chilly, stern voice, "Believe whatever you want to believe and I'll respect your request to limit our conversation to the kids only. Apart from that, I have nothing further to say to you." Her heart bled at his disdain. Kamara started to back away, and before she knew it, she was fleeing from Caiden. She sobbed while sitting by the front door, out of his line of sight. The apartment was silent for about thirty minutes. The circumstances appeared intolerable. Caiden had not felt these kinds of feelings in a long time, but Kamara's return had brought them back. She would never know that he still loved her.At that moment, Nate burst through the door, his eyes wide and his clothes drenched in perspiration, ending the agonizing stillness that had been between Kamara and Caiden. His look made it very evident that something had happened, and Kamara hoped that Nate
"Tell me, how did it go?" It was Nate who asked. As he gave Nate the recorder, Matt's smile grew. What he was hearing was so unbelievable to him.Upon returning to the vehicle, he became aware that his cell phone had been on the passenger seat. He had numerous unanswered calls from Caiden. When he packed up his things and got ready to say goodbye to Matt, the sky had already grown dark.Matt offered to assist him find the boys. "Permit me to assist you." He smiled at his old friend and touched his shoulder. "Matt, believe me, I'm very grateful for what you did for me today, but I can't allow you to face a battle as dangerous as this. Like I said it's confidential." he replied."Come on, Nate," he looked agitated. "How many impossibly difficult battles have I not fought beside you?" He lowered his head, saying, "This one is unlike anything you've experienced. Please don't tell anyone about this kidnapping. I appreciate everything, my friend."Matt was unable to persuade Nate to accep
"What on earth did you do to him?" He attempted to raise the man, but a terrifying cry could be heard with each move.The man soaked himself. The man sobbed, "Sir, I can't move."The man screamed in agony as the leader pulled him outside and locked the youngsters back in the room. He wanted to be carried outside if it would be possible.He whimpered, "I have to go to the hospital, sir."The leader answered, "You cannot leave. It's simply too dangerous.""I hope you will pardon me, sir, but if I had to spend one more minute with these creatures, I would much rather go to jail." His eyes widened in fear.He said anxiously, "You just have to take me to the hospital and leave me there."In desperation, the leader placed his hands on his head. In less than a week, this was the second man to abandon the mission. What in the world was going on with those children?****** In desperation, Kamara turned to face Nate and hoped he would elaborate on her children's whereabouts. But Nate was pa
"You'd better get out of here right away," the man said, pressing the gun into Nate's chest. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about.""No, we can't," Caiden answered. "We came many miles to get here from another city. When Seth finds out that you turned us away, he won't be happy."One man said, "Seth won't know anything," and Caiden knew right away that something wasn't right. "You're simply wasting your time."The man didn't look as menacing now. He appeared heavy-set, as though he were bearing a burden."What do you mean by that?" When Caiden tried to get closer, the man once more aimed the gun at him.He commanded, "Get away from here. There's no job available anymore. Seth is currently in the hospital after suffering a catastrophic injury.That, in Caiden's opinion, was quite unfortunate."He said that he no longer wished to work for those men. He said that he met the monsters."Caiden looked at Nate with wide eyes, understanding everything. Once more, the quads had don
Knowing that Nate had disclosed their mission to a stranger did not sit well with Caiden. He was unsure about his ability to trust humans. Caiden needed to put his belief in Nate despite humans' dishonesty and treachery. It was also his only choice at the moment. The man had been of great help. Matt's mood soured as Nate said, "We need to talk to Seth. He is aware of the quads' location." Matt remarked, "The man only opens his mouth to scream in pain. His spine is broken. The wounds are really severe." Caiden was astonished by the information. "But I'll figure out a method to get you there."Matt departed, assuring Nate and Caiden that he would create a window for them to speak with the kidnapper of the quadruplets. He returned, looking scared and nervous, thirty minutes after he had left. Nate perspired, showing all of his anxiety, "Tell me how did it go." He smiled at Nate and said, "It was able to do something, but you'll need to be quick. It's time for lunch, the police officer
