Were you mine? Marionette
The officer pressed play, and the room filled with the chilling conversation between Lea and the kidnapper. The three siblings listened intently, straining to catch any familiar detail in the distorted voice. After a few minutes, the officer rewound the tape and played it again, then once more for good measure. "Anything?" he asked, looking at their confused and frustrated faces. Jake's eyes widened as the realization hit him that Lea was in the eye of the storm. He lunged for his phone, frantically dialing Lea's number. "Come on, Lea, pick up," he muttered, pacing back and forth. After several rings, his heart sank as the call went to voicemail. "Her phone's switched off!" he exclaimed, panic setting in. "We need to trace her! She could be in serious danger.She couldn't even stand up properly up in her room. She is driving out there and doing what crazy stuff..." The officer put a hand on Jake's shoulder, trying to calm him. "Listen, I understand you're worried, but we can't trace
Were you mine? Word to word
Lea drove like a lunatic trying to reach the next destination. She was running low on gas, she knew she needed to refill but she dared not stop or slow down, fearing she might not reach the spot in the given time. As her car screeched to a halt she looked around and luck was on her side. The location she was chasing happened to be just what she needed. A gas station! Lea got off and went inside to dial the number she had in her hand while throwing her card at the man filling her tank. " Make it full. Absolutely full! " She yelled as the man turned around to look at her, perplexed. Lea's hand shook so much as she dialled the number that the receiver fell from her hand, twice. " Hello! I am at the gas station like you asked me to. Now please let me speak to my son, once. Please! " Lea yelled, begged, cried, putting all her effort in that plea but all she was met with was a chuckle from the other side. " Alright! Since you have proven to be a good girl, let me grant you this bliss.
Were you mine? More demands...
Lea's breath hitched, but she nodded.At this point,Lea was very certain that the caller could actually see her.But she dared not look around in the car, least they suspected that she understood that she was being watched. "Okay," she managed to say ,hitting on the accelerator again. As she drove, the voice continued with precise instructions.They even told her which lane to take. They knew which bank she was headed to. "Once you're at the bank, you will enter and ask to speak to the manager. Tell them you need to transfer a large sum into the account I provided. Do not alert anyone, act normal and calm or your son will suffer the consequences." Lea's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "I understand," she replied, fighting to keep her voice steady as she stopped a few feet away from her destination. Upon arriving at the bank's back entrance, she parked haphazardly and dashed inside, the phone still connected, a pair of bluetooth devices pressed to her ear which she was instructe

(Rewinding a few hours back . We will take it from where we left at Lea's place. ) Everyone followed Elizabeth Rodgers back to the Rodger mansion including the cops and the detectives but they all took separate roads like Elizabeth had instructed. She had forbidden them from taking any calls from anyone until they reached the Rodgers mansion and had seen the evidence she had to provide. Everyone reluctantly agreed but they could sense she was onto something. And it was grave. The cops and the detectives entered the mansion through the backdoor and went straight to Elizabeth's study. She entered through the front door with her kids and instructed the gates to be closed. " Alright, now that we are all here," She turned towards the detectives, " Would you like to start building them up for what's coming? " She looked strangely anxious and nervous, herself. " Wait! " Mercy stood up as the detectives were about to start talking. " Percy isn't here. Let me call him real quick. He h
Were you mine? Flashback
( Continuation of Percy's flashback) Rosa slowly stripped for Percy.She started by unbuttoning her top, one button at a time, drawing out the moment as her fingers skillfully undid each clasp while she bit her lips.She swayed her hips in time with the sultry music, her eyes locked onto Percy's, holding his gaze with a smoldering intensity.Her top slipped off her shoulders, revealing the smooth, tanned skin underneath, before she let it fall to the floor.Percy's eyes darkened with desire as he watched her, his breath growing heavier with each passing second. Rosa's hands moved to her skirt, sliding it down her hips with a slow, sensual grace. She turned around, giving him a full view of her curves, and bent slightly, making sure he got an eyeful as she stepped out of the skirt.She stood in just her lace bra and panties, the dim light casting shadows that accentuated every line and curve of her body.She reached behind her back, unclasping her bra with a practiced ease, and let it

Back at the Rodger Mansion ( Present) - Mercy hurled herself at Elizabeth, her hands striking out in wild, desperate fury. "How dare you frame Percy!" she screamed, her voice breaking. "How could you accuse him of such horrible things?" She was jumping and shrieking. Elizabeth stood firm absolutely unshaken. "Mercy, stop! Listen to me!" she pleaded, trying to grasp Mercy's flailing hands.There was a hint of sadness somewhere in her tone. Jake and Phill moved quickly to restrain their sister, pulling her back as she continued to thrash and scream. "You’re lying! You’re trying to tear our family apart!" Mercy sobbed as she pounded around."Mercy, please," Elizabeth's voice was softer but she held her daughter with her gaze. "I wish it weren't true, but it is.I wish I was lying.I wish I was wrong. Percy is behind all of this.I know this shreds your heart but it is what it is." It took a long time for Mercy's resistance to wane. She continued to struggle, her energy slowly draini
Were you mine? Burning up
Rosa was sprawled on a couch in a room, that looked like it belonged to some dingy motel. The lights were off and it was barely lit by a flickering TV screen. Her eyes were glued on to the screen as she sat there, munching on popcorn. The room looked like it was in a mess. There were packets of chips and chocolates everywhere. Empty bottles of milk and beer was stacked in the corner. It was clear there had been no housekeeper in that room for a few days. She sat there with two burly men sprawled lazily on the floor. Suddenly, a pathetic whimpering sound cut through the stale air, coming from the room right next to them. Annoyed, Rosa smacked one of the men on the back of his head. "Get your lazy ass up and shut that kid up!" she snapped. The man grumbled but got to his feet, lumbering into the other room as he fumbled with the keys on the door.It was locked but he opened it with a kick. "Hey! Pipe down in there!" he barked. But the whimpering only grew louder. Rosa made a d
Were you mine? The chase
The police car hurtled through the city streets, sirens blaring and lights flashing. Jake sat in the passenger seat beside the cop who was driving, his heart pounding with every turn and swerve. The control team at headquarters worked feverishly to triangulate the exact location of the phone number that they traced from the number Lea was using. Each passing second felt like an eternity as they inched closer to a breakthrough."How much longer?" Jake demanded, gripping the edge of his seat. His voice was strained, his patience was wearing thin. The officer glanced at him briefly, then focused back on the road. "They're working on it. These things take time." "We don't have time!I thought I gave you enough window while having that conversation with Lea. " Jake snapped. " My child's life is on the line." But his phone rang right at that moment. " Jake, when was the last time you talked with Lea? " Mercy's frenzied voice can from the other side. " Why? Just now. It has been only a few
