“I won’t be able to put a microphone or camera on you, Wyatt would be very cautious about you and if he finds any bug on you, he could kill you” Nate listened to a man in black suit talk about the dangers of wearing a bug. The last few days had run by so fast, it was almost a blur for him. Ruby was worried about Ethan and was pissed that he wasn’t as worried as she was or maybe, there was more to her and Ethan.Nate shook his head as he tried to push the nasty thoughts away. “You would have to go about this on your own” Katie said She wore her hair in such a tight chignon that Nate had thought her face would split in half. “I would be hiding in the bushes but I have to make sure I’m not seen by any of Wyatt’s men” she continued Nate stared at the phone. Following Katie’s previous instructions, he was asked not to reply to Wyatt’s text message.He felt a shiver run through his spine as he read the text for the hundredth time that day. “Can I have that?” Katie asked

What started out as a sunny day had slowly become a dark, gloomy rainy day. The mud stuck to his boots as the leaves crumpled on each step. The park was empty save for the security guard who looked like he was about to sleep any minute.Nate sighed as he moved towards the back of the Ferris wheel just like he was instructed to. The only thing that mattered was that he and Jake left the park alive, in one piece.Contrary to how bubbly the park used to be, it seemed dead and lifeless. He smiled as he remembered how he would meet up with some of his friends from school on Saturdays at the park, while they were chatting, the kids would sneak off and buy some candy floss even though their mothers didn’t approve of it. Nate felt his heart skip a beat as he approached the rollercoaster. He became nervous and was almost willing to turn back but he had come too far already. Waves of nostalgia and sadness ran through him as he took each step slowly. The roller coaster was his father’

Nate’s nose wrinkled as the stale smell of the hut hit him. The man in black leading him seemed to not be bothered and was humming to a song. “I watch you on TV sometimes,” the man commented as he took a dark path.Nate wasn’t sure where the dark path led to but he remembered it was for staff only. “You’re such a good man, my kids adore you but you know, I have to do what I have to feed my kids” the man stopped and turned, offered Nate his best smile which revealed a set of teeth that needed urgent dentist attention. “I hope you come out alive anyway” the man quickly added “How comforting” Nate replied sarcastically and he began walkingHe wasn’t sure what to expect but really hoped Jake was safe. His family was really worried about him and they missed him dearly. Nate spotted the flicker of light from a big caravan. He assumed Wyatt and Jake were in there. “Is Jake alive?” Wyatt asked the manThey were a few steps away from the caravan.A raucous laughter erupte

Nate gasped as Jake walked in. He had his hands tied behind him, from his swollen face, anyone could tell he was badly tortured. “Jake” he gasped as he moved toward as himOne of the guards growled and instructed Nate to return to his seat. Jake smiled weakly as he fell to the floor, he had so many stories to tell Nate and the others. “What the hell did you do to him?” Nate demanded as he fumedWyatt smiled proudly. Everything was a game to him, if he played his cards well, then he was certainly going to win. “That’s what you get for betraying me” Wyatt scoffed and eyed Jake. “I knew Jake was your father’s minion but what I didn’t know was how much he was willing to sacrifice for you”Nate passed a hand through his hair as he thought of what to do next. Jake looked like he needed to be at a hospital as soon as possible. It was obvious he was starved and beaten mercilessly. The white shirt he had on on the day of the kidnap was barely recognizable as it had become

Jake groaned as he tried to turn in bed. The white lights almost blinded him as he tried to sit up in bed. “Sir, please relax” the nurse said as she rushed to his side “Where am I?” He asked throatilyHe felt his tummy hurt as he tried to speak. The last thing he could remember was being dragged to meet Nate in a caravan. “You’re at the hospital, Mr jacobin and the doctor would join you shortly” “Oh” he sighed “I would go tell them you’re awake”The nurse placed her utensils on a side table and walked out.Each part of his body hurt when he tried to move so it was pointless even trying. He frowned at the tubes that were put in his hands, the smell of antiseptic irritated him so much. A few minutes later, a tired smile found its way to Jake’s face as he heard Nate’s voice in the corridor. “Jake!” Nate rushed to the bed as he entered the room. “What the hell am I doing here?” Jake demanded Nate smiled, it was good to have Jake back. The doctors said h
