Cassie stayed unmoving for a few seconds. “If this is a joke, Felix, I need you to stop.”“I’m not Eliza. I won’t joke about something that serious.” Felix stated.Eliza glared at him. “How rich? Your girlfriend’s house got burnt down and all you can do is take jabs at me. Fucking dip shit.”Cassie slowly lowered herself to a nearby plastic chair. “I don’t understand. This doesn’t make any sense. Why would anyone do this?” If she hadn’t gone to the ball with Felix, or if she had gone back home instead of spending the night with him at the hotel, she would have been burnt to a crisp. And not just her. Lily, Aaron and Snowflake too. “First Isabel gets shot and then my house gets set on fire…” She trailed off as she started to connect the dots. “Are they both connected? Do you think someone is out for us?”“There’s no way to be certain about that for sure but it seems like a possibility.” Felix said.“Oh my God.” Cassie croaked.Her eyes were open, but she wasn’t seeing anything in fron

Isabel lay in the hospital bed with her head turned toward the window so that she could watch the sun rise. With the snowy weather outside, the sunlight was just barely managing to penetrate through, appearing as golden shards of light piercing out from fluffy grey clouds. It felt pleasing to look at something nice while her life was anything but. At the moment, looking at the sunrise was the only thing she could do that wouldn’t send her into a fit of panic.Shortly after Felix, Eliza, Cassie and the ICE officers had left the hospital the previous day, she had been visited by a police officer, Deputy Grayson. Isabel had known that it was the police’s job to investigate murder attempts but still, she had found it strange that they had thought it worth their while to try to figure out who had shot her. Wasn’t it another branch of the government that had come to her room just a couple of hours before, telling her how she was going to be deported?The police officers had given brief and

It was a Christmas of firsts for both Felix and Cassie.For Felix, this was the first time that his house had ever been decorated for Christmas. In the past, he had put up a plastic miniature tree if he remembered and while Hazel had still been alive, she had put up a menorah for the December festivities. Now, the decorations started right from the gates to the mansion, with the pathway leading to the house lined with colorful reindeer figurines, giant candy canes and plastic snowmen. The house was decked in strings of flashing Christmas lights that Felix was certain would be visible from space.He had spared no expense in decking out his house in all the Christmas decorations that Cassie had requested. At first, she had been worried that they wouldn’t get any of the good decorations seeing as they had only started their Christmas shopping two days before Christmas but after he had gotten a Nordmann fir tree – the best type of tree for Christmas trees – flown in from Europe overnight,

The beginning of the new year was the start of many new things. Cassie, the twins and Snowflake had all fully moved into Felix’s house, each adding their own form of personal touch to the place. The changes that came with all of them living together could be seen in the house and in their lives. Felix had had the closet in the mastered bedroom remodeled so that Cassie’s clothes would fit into it. The twins’ room that had once been blandly colored and sparsely decorated during their first nights there, had been transformed into an age appropriate setting, bursting with colors and toys for Aaron and Lily, complete with an enormous dog bed to accommodate Snowflake who had grown to the size of a baby pony and according to the vet, wasn’t even up to her full stature as a Tibetan Mastiff. To cater for the number of people that were now residing with him, Felix had gotten a car large enough to accommodate all of them at once comfortably. Eliza had harassed him about how whipped he was once s

“What’s the update?” Felix asked, walking down the hall.There was a deep sigh at the other end of the line. “There still hasn’t been any sighting of him. No one is sure if he has been back to his place ever since he’s been out of police custody. Witness testimony is also a bit shaky as that neighborhood has mostly junkies and alcoholics in it. Most of the people that I tried to talk to were high out of their minds, saying things like he was abducted by aliens.”“Anything else?” Felix sighed, pausing in front of his office’s door. He wasn’t the least bit comfortable that Big Daddy was still out there. The police still had no clue about his location so Felix had hired a private investigator to speed up the investigation.“I have been able to find one thing out though: the last time that he was at his club was the morning of the shooting and the fire. His manager said that he cleared out the safe and stuffed all of the cash in a duffel bag. If he did pay someone to do his dirty work, I

“Cassie, my socks are itchy!” Lily whined, stopping at the entrance to the theater to dramatically tug at her frilly lace socks.Cassie rolled her eyes. “If they’re itching you so badly, take them off and hand them over. I’ll stuff them in my purse.”“Then your purse will stink because she has stinky feet.” Aaron teased.Ignoring her brother and the stares of passersby, Lily leaned against Felix and started to slip her socks off.The four of them were standing in front of a theater in Midtown Atlanta. The theater stood proudly amidst the bustling cityscape. Tall, arched windows adorned the front and sides of the building, each one framed with intricate wrought-iron accents. The glass panes themselves were made from delicately assembled stained glass pieces which came together to depict various forms of artistry, from a ballerina standing en pointe to golden depictions of the theater masks Thalia and Melpomene. A lush red carpet was rolled out from the doorway and all the way down the

The next day being a Saturday, Felix and Cassie had both wordlessly agreed to stay in bed until they got hungry but that plan had been ruined by two pairs of fists pounding at their door and demanding to be let in.“They are not going to stop until we unlock the door.” Cassie said, burying her face in Felix's chest.“I am aware. Just give me a moment.” Felix said, as he nuzzled her hair and tried to block out the sounds of the knocking, yelling and high pitched barking.“If you don’t go now, they’re probably going to break the door down.” She warned.Felix sighed. He slipped out from bed, shrugged on a pair of trousers and tossed Cassie one of his shirts. He had barely unlocked the door when it was flung open and three fast bodies burst in, each of them flinging themselves onto the bed.“Cassie got up.” Lily screamed, bouncing on the bed. “We’re hungry.”“And you promised that we were going to see Amanda today.” Aaron said, trying to pull her from the bed.“I know, I know. I’m up.” Ca

Felix steadied himself against a nearby shelf as he took quick, successive breaths. Cassie was fine. She had to be fine. He started to circle the supermarket again, searching for her amongst the multitude of shoppers. When he didn’t see her, he did it a third time. And then a fourth time. But there was still no sign of Cassie anywhere. If it were Eliza that had disappeared, his first instinct would have been that she was trying to play a cruel prank on him. But Cassie didn’t play pranks. And if she was playing one at the moment by hiding from him, she would have popped out sometime during his first search around the supermarket.He headed back to the check-out section, cutting into the queue and ignoring the people on it who complained and cursed as he shoved past them to get to the front of the line. “Have you seen my girlfriend?”Emily looked at him stunned. “No. You came to the counter without her. I remember that you mentioned her, but I never saw her. Is everything okay?” She ask

"Good morning. I’m Dorothea Sinclair and welcome to today’s session of Under the Spotlight. I am sure that some of you are wondering where I am today and why this background looks different. That’s because, for this interview, I left the studio to conduct this interview in the home of our guest who is no stranger to the spotlight.” Dorothea announced. “Some of you might know her from September last year when she and her best friend, Isabel Gomez, were held hostage by two gunmen who kidnapped them from the club they both worked in. Some of you might also know her from her interview with me on this very show in March where we talked about her revolutionary app, Care Compass which was, and still is, making waves in the medical field. However, some of you might know her from everything that went down two months ago when she was kidnapped from a supermarket and held hostage for a week. Join me to welcome, the very beautiful and very intelligent, Cassie Peters.” She said and signaled to th

The first time Cassie had woken up as a captive, she had thought that that would be the most pain she would ever be in. She remembered how much her head hurt and how she had ached all over. Waking up again, she found that she felt a thousand times worse. She owed the shitty feeling in her entire body to Robert fucking Smith. After she had been caught trying to escape, he dragged her by her hair to the very room that she had escaped from. She had tried to struggle against him but her muscles ached from running around the house and anytime she made any form of movement against him, Robert would pause along the hallway to deliver a series of kicks to her midriff.When they had finally got to the room, he had exerted the second phase of his revenge by reopening the cuts that had been made on her arm earlier that week and adding a couple of new ones with the help of his switchblade. He followed it by wrapping his gangly fingers around her neck and choking her, letting his nails dig into he

When Felix finally awoke, he did so slowly, his vision blurry and his head heavy. Even as he was still half unconscious, he realized that he recognized the environment that he was in. It was all strangely familiar but yet, unsettlingly transformed. He was in a room in the Callahan mansion and judging from the size and layout of the room, he was in his old bedroom. The decor of the room had changed drastically since the last time he had been in the room. All of the posters of superheroes and bands had been taken down and replaced with modern art pieces. The color of the walls had been changed from a baby blue color to a dark gray one. His bedside table which had been formerly crowded with action figures and school books now spotted manila folders, stationery and a small potted cacti.The more Felix observed the room, the more it looked to him like someone had been staying there for a while. The hardwood floors had a few scuff marks on them at the points where the room’s furniture was.

Felix stumbled over the phone as he clumsily tried to pick up the phone. “Cassie. Are you hurt? Do you know where you are?” Felix asked, each word tumbling out of his mouth quicker than a response could possibly be given.He pulled his laptop closer to himself and hurriedly started to launch the software that he had been working on ever since the night of Cassie’s disappearance. He had already set his phone so that whenever Cassie's phone came online, he would be able to track it. It had a lot of flaws but it was the best he could come up with in such short time. He couldn’t just download a regular cell phone locator off the internet to locate Cassie’s phone as she had built a series of safeguards for her phone to ensure that it was heavily guarded. She had everything on it apart from a proper password; it was both ironic and amusing. He had tried launching the app multiple times but the search always came up blank, indicating that her phone had been switched off. Now, it showed that

She startled herself awake the next morning. There was no way for her to tell if anyone had entered the room while she was asleep. As she pulled herself from the ground, she decided that anytime she was going to fall asleep, she would do so with her back to the door so that if anyone were to try to enter the room, she would know. Throughout the entire day, she anxiously waited for someone to open the door but no one did. By the time it was evening, she got into the shower and had her bath again, this time putting on her clean and dry underwear, washing her dress and then hanging it close to the radiator so that it would dry faster. It was already dark out when the dress was dry enough for her to wear and when she left the bathroom, she found another cup of ramen and a bottle of water.She had started to worry that there was a camera in the room that Robert used to determine when she was in the bathroom to come and drop her food. Before she could think about it too much, she realized t

By Cassie’s calculations, she had been Robert’s captive for six days.When she had realized that it had been him that had taken her, she had had a lot of questions, some of which she hadn’t been able to answer. Since when had he gotten out of prison? Was he working in conjunction with Big Daddy? Had he also been a part of her house being set on fire and Isabel getting shot? Would he also be going after Felix and the twins later? Where exactly was this house that he had taken her to?She still found it bizarre that he had had a hand in her kidnapping as she had forgotten all about him after she and Isabel had testified against him in court. She chided herself for not seeing it coming. His exact words to her as they had carted him into the squad car on the day of his arrest had been: I’ll get you for this you stupid bitch! That day, she had thought that his words were just an empty threat of a mad man; she had never expected him to make good on it.Judging by the fact that it had been d

In the week that Cassie had been gone, Felix had felt as if his heart had been violently ripped out from his chest, severely stomped on and then set aflame. When he had gotten home that dark and gloomy Saturday night, he had called Amanda and Isabel to inform them of what had happened. They had both in their own way panicked, but had still managed to assure him that Cassie was fine and would turn up before the next morning. Amanda had volunteered to keep the twins until the next morning so that they wouldn’t bombard him with questions about the whereabouts of their sister. In the end, Felix had had to find a way to break it to them as Cassie had still been missing by the next morning. There had been a lot of tears and visible confusion and it had taken him ages but he had finally managed to calm them down.When he had met with police officers later that week to try to figure out what had happened that night, he found that although they managed to garner some information, it was mostly

Cassie felt as if her head had been shattered into thousands of pieces by a sledgehammer, hastily put back together with hot glue and then a band of tiny people had started to use it as a venue for a rock metal concert. She felt worse than that time in her freshman year of uni when she had attended a series of parties nonstop for an entire week, drinking everything that was handed to her and dancing to every song that the DJ had played. The thing was, this time, she hadn’t been partying. In fact, she had just been… What exactly had she been doing?Cassie tried hard to recall what she had been doing before, straining her brain and ignoring the headache that intensified in her attempt to remember. Her memory came back to her in slow flashes. Riding the Ferris wheel with Felix. Being presented with a stuffed bear. Running in the rain and seeking shelter in a supermarket. Felix let go of her hand so that she could go and get a carton of milk. Try as much as she might, that was where her m
