"Raymond has been kidnapped" Grace spat out breathlessly before Mayor Mount could take a seat. She had already told him on phone and was surprised to see him so calm. That only meant she didn't take her serious.
"Kidnapped?" Mayor Mount seemed not to believe his ears. He couldn't understand why anyone would want to kidnap Raymond. He was definitely thinking Grace was not sure of what she was saying.
Grace nodded affirmatively. That was the only thing that could have happened. A car driven violently followed by series of beating. It only translated to kidnap in her comprehension and understanding.
"When was that?" Mayor Mount asked again. He adjusted himself as he sat down. He was very relaxed. He was surely thinking there was no cause for alarm.
"About an hour ago" Grace answered briefly. She knew Mayor Mount would be more relaxed than he was, by hearing that. She looked around maybe Brittany could pop up from thin air. She would understand her restlessne
Grace moved close to him. It was obvious he had some things he wanted to say."It was a red car. I don't remember the number. There is a dent on the driver's door" the man explained excitedly, he had ignored the policeman."Where were they headed?" Grace signaled to him to calm down."They took the Rickey Road. It seemed they are going out of Newland. I destroyed the wire and called them as soon as they left. Instead of following their trail, they arrested me" the coffee man stared the policeman down."I slipped a phone into his pocket. It is my son's phone" the coffee man opened up while staring at the police officer wickedly."Why didn't you tell us that earlier?" the policeman asked angrily."The number" Grace said weakly. She was infuriated by the police officer intrusion. This was what he was supposed to have done.The coffee man brought out a small piece of paper out from his pocket."That's it" he handed it o
"Did she just dodged that?!" Raymond screamed in amazement. He couldn't close his mouth. He became very afraid more than before when he thought she could get killed."Put him in the car!" the third guy shouted at the others. Both of them forced Raymond into the car. He struggled but couldn't resist as his hands were tied.The other two joined and were raining bullets at Grace but she kept weaving swiftly and evaded all of the bullets.The guys ran out of bullet with Grace still coming at them. Out of fear, they rushed into the car. The first guy took the wheels and ignited the engine."Run her down" the third guy yelled again. Raymond was breathless. The first guy turned the car around to face Grace. He hit her and ran the car over her. Her bones made some series of weird cracking sounds like they were breaking.He stopped the car probably to look back at what he had done to her body. Before he complete a turn of his neck. Grace was alr
Grace continued smacking the steering wheel as she drove recklessly and violently through the busy road angrily. She scanned both sides of the road looking for the red car that was conveying Raymond. She couldn't find it.She was back to normal not as the weird creature she seemed earlier. There were bruises on her arms, remnants of the injuries she sustained back at the motor pack."I lost them" she whispered sadly to herself."I must not lose them. I will find them" she continued muttering like it was a mantra on which her success depended. She dribbled the car through the busy street as the vehicles on the road were now slowing down. They were finally static. The traffic light had shown red. She became frustrated. She dropped her head on the wheel. She quickly lifted it back up. Something caught her eyes when she was dropping her head.It was the red car, it was also stuck in the traffic. The feeling of happiness and fe
Raymond was restless at the backseat. He kept turning towards the rear maybe he could catch a glimpse of Grace. That was very close. He nearly got saved from these clueless abductors at the traffic light.The three kidnappers must have been scared to death. He could hear their heavy, speedy heartbeat."That is the same girl from the parking lot, right?" the second guy asked Raymond. He looked puzzled. Raymond didn't answer him. He had no reason to reply him."That is just an ordinary girl, am I hallucinating before?" the third guy laughed. "I could break her with a finger""She didn't want to freak people out. That was in a busy place. She was faster than bullets" the first guy said like he was trying to warn the third guy.Raymond listened through like he was not there with them. He didn't know what to wish for. Maybe the Grace from the parking lot that looked weird but strong with supernatural powers or the one banging the car trying
"Fifty grands" Dennis shouted back.Raymond wished he could scream enough from the car for Grace to hear. Dennis wouldn't free him no matter how much he took from her."I don't have that in cash" she paused briefly. "Let's go to the nearest ATM and I will give it to you"Grace didn't have that money but it was obvious she had a plan. Raymond couldn't understand what the plan was.Dennis came to the front window. He opened the door but didn't come in. Instead he bent his head down to see Reed's face"Go to the nearest ATM. I ride with her" he turned to show Raymond his face. He was smiling. That didn't look good to Raymond. Raymond stared at him wickedly."No, don't worry. It's not like we are going to have sex" Dennis slammed the door shut.Grace had entered back into the car. She thought she would trail them, when they moved to the ATM as they agreed. But Dennis was coming towards her. She was very scared. T
Raymond breathed heavily out of exhaustion. Jim had just almost dropped him on the road in a moving car headlong. He had also punched him in the face after finding a phone on him. He collected the phone and dropped it on the road for Grace to see."But you said his phone had been taken care off" Jim complained to Reed."I swear I saw it when he dropped the phone when we abducted him" Reed seemed confused. His confusion was more than the issue of phone found on Raymond.Dennis called Jim that Grace had,had him thrown out of her car. That would surely changed the plan if getting to an ATM which was solely Dennis plan."So,what's the plan now?" Reed asked with a shaky voice. It seemed he had been thinking same thing Raymond was thinking. It was obvious he was freaked out by everything that was happening. He had even lost control of the wheels making the car swayed twice."The plan is we stick to the plans" Jim spoke with a lot of strength. He wa
"Calm down,ma'am" the police woman advised. "Go and sit down over there,I will call you when it's your turn" she pointed to a seat where some people were seated. All of them looked sad. It was like they were there for something serious. Of course, no one would visit a police station for fun but the number of people seated there seemed much and that was strange.Grace couldn't argue though she didn't like the 'I will call you when it is your turn' response from the police officer. She scurried over to the seat and took the available space beside a woman.The woman was holding a picture of a small boy. She wiped tears off her eyes intermittently. Grace thought the woman must be there to report the boy missing. Her curiosity pushed her to talk to the woman."He's your son?" Grace asked the woman."That's Andrew, he went missing on his tenth birthday" the woman cried. Grace pondered over her response. It seemed to have happened a long time ago the way she spo
Grace was in the car,back on the road. She had no evidence the cops were in bed with whoever the kidnappers were. It was just a belief she held to, strongly.She was looking for a grey car right now. That was all the lead she had. She followed the road the man that directed her to the police station suggested.After driving for some minutes. She saw a grey car beside the road. She slowed down the car to look closely as she approached it. The grey car took off immediately. The driver must have seen Grace approaching."I found you, shithead!" Grace exclaimed as she pressed hard on the wheel. She does after the car. She was happy she had finally caught them.She would need help, now that she was not in possession of the potion. She made an emergency call."911,whats your emergency" a female operator's voice asked."I need help. My boyfriend has been kidnapped" she replied sharply."Please, do not disconnect the call while we triangulate
