Emma:“Miss White it is a pleasure to see you again. What are you doing way out here so far from home?” Don Anders asked me. I figured why not tell him the truth, maybe he could lend me a hand. After all he did offer to help, and he said as far as anyone is concerned, he works for me. I explained in detail what had happened since this morning leaving out what happened to Joy. That was none of his business.He had a horror stricken face when he said, “Oh my goodness your poor daughter. Are you completely sure this person actually has your daughter and that was her finger? I am not sure what I can do to help other than wait for you to get to your final clue and help you rescue your daughter.” He was right. It was impossible for him to do much at the moment.“You know I did not even think to call her adoptive parents to find out if she was at home.” I felt like an idiot. Once I got the burner phone that should have been my first call. I pulled out my phone and dialed their number. No one
Emma: The hostess led me to a table in one of their private rooms. She told me that the waitress who will be serving me also knows about my conditions to get the envelope. She assured me everything had been paid for. I asked her why she agreed to do this for someone she did not know, and she said, “An insane amount of money of course. Do not worry nothing can harm you, but I was instructed not to let you leave until you complete everything.” With that she turned and walked away before I had a chance to ask her about who hired her. It was twenty minutes before the waitress came over. A condition she told me that the note writer made her do. I guess the person thought it would annoy me and they were right. They were going out of their way to make sure I kept losing valuable time. I asked the waitress if she could describe the person who hired them. She said, “Um I guess so. I mean she did not tell us we couldn’t mention her at all.” It was a woman than. My thoughts went back to Ruby b
Natasha: We all walked into the police station at the same time, minus Shane. He had said he would be along shortly he wanted to make sure the house was locked up and to make sure whoever was accusing them of having a bomb didn’t in fact plant one in the house. I volunteered to stay behind and wait for him, but he declined. He said he would be fine on his own. I knew he probably just wanted to be alone to worry about Emma without anyone’s eyes on him. We approached the officer at the front desk and explained why we were here. She called someone in the back and three officers came out. One to escort each of us. I gave one last look to Tony and Kyle before following the female officer in front of me. She took me into an interrogation room and told me to wait here. It was well over an hour later when two male officers came in and sat across from me. They asked me all the basic questions, name, date of birth, address those types of things. After the wrote down all that information they
Emma:I got back in my car and called Kyle. I told him whatever he and the group were doing they needed to wrap it up. I told him all about what the last note said and how I was concerned that my daughter was in trouble. He explained to me that they were all at the police station being questioned about planting a bomb. The woman who had sent me on this long goose chase had to be the one behind it. It was rather clever if you thought about it. It was a genius way to get everyone out of the house so she could get in.I drove away from the restaurant and headed straight home. When I arrived, there was not even a single car in my driveway. I checked around back and there was not one there either. I was hoping that maybe the person was not here yet or maybe this was just another stop on this crazy train.I put the key in the front door and unlocked it. I proceeded inside and found a little girl and a woman sitting in my living room. I did not recognize the woman at all. Even more bizarre I
Emma:This woman just stared at the four of them before bursting out in hysterical laughter. Once she calmed herself done, she sniffed and said, “Oh my god! This is rich, hahaha. My husband told me the people who worked for you or who were loyal to you were dramatic and I did not believe him.” She continued to laugh as I rolled my eyes.I turned to Natasha and said, “I think the three men’s guns on her is plenty. Could you please take this little girl from my house and get her back to where she belongs. Afterwards find out what her parents want to do. Call me and let me know if they want to go to the police if so tell them they can find the perpetrator here we will not be letting her leave.”Natasha nodded at me at first handed the gun to Tony and then slowly approached the young girl. “Hi sweetie. Don’t be scared im not going to hurt you. Why don’t I get you out of here and back to your parents how does that sound?” the girl looked into Natashas face and gave her a slight nod before
Natasha:I took the little girl to my car and let her sit up front with me. Before I started the car, I turned to her to see if I could get her to give me any information about who she was or where I needed to take her. “Okay sweetie. I know you have had a really hard go of it lately, but I need your help right now. Could you tell me what your name is and where I can take you?”She looked at me hesitating to answer me. I reassured her by telling her I was one of the good guys. I made sure she knew we had no idea who the woman in the house was and I was not going to let anyone help her again. She finally opened up a bit and told me there her name was Olivia, and she gave me her address. It was about an hour away from here and I did not know why the street name seemed so familiar to me. I pushed it out of my mind for the moment and began to drive.We drove in silence for the first five minutes until I heard Olivia’s stomach growl loudly. I gave her a tight smile and asked her what she w
Emma:Tony, Kyle, and Shane stood there staring at the now bleeding Malinda while I stared at them. I was trying to process who it was who took the shot. This was not the plan. Our intentions were not to hurt this woman and yet she was laying on my floor bleeding from a gunshot wound in her stomach. She growled than said, “Are you assholes just going to stare at me until I bleed out or are you going to get me some help here.”They all exchanged looks with one another not seeming to know what to do with themselves. “For goodness sakes someone help her. I do not need her blood staining my floor anymore than it has already done so. You men need to snap out of it. You’re acting as if this is the first time this has ever happened.” I said exasperated.Once I spoke things around me started happening fast. Kyle ran into the kitchen to get supplies to take care of Malinda. Tony was on his phone calling a cleaning crew and Shane dashed over to my side. All the while my phone kept ringing and I
Natasha:It was like entering into a complete twilight zone. This could not be happening this shit was so unreal. Of all the children that chick could have kidnapped they chose Dede’s little sister. There was no way this was a coincidence, things like this just do not happen. I just did not have all the information at this point to figure it all out, but I would bet my life on it that this has something to doing with Ruby. This bitch always had some type of scheme going on.When Dede walked in her hands were full of grocery bags upon seeing me, they all slipped out of her hands. Like me I was probably the last person she expected to show up at her mother’s house. She seemed to compose herself and she said, “Hello Natasha. What brings you here?” I pointed my finger at her sister, and I saw a slight shock cross her eyes before it came indifferent. “Joy the little rugrat showed back up.” Her mom may not have been able to tell but I sure could. Dede did not think she would ever be coming
