78**Mr Scott **~Day ThreeThe night before, I spent a couple more minutes with Antony before checking out via Michael's instructions. I returned back to my house which was as quiet as a graveyard. On getting inside, I became suspicious of the silence thinking everyone had abandoned ship in fear of getting kidnapped or worse. I checked their sleeping quarters, they were still there. That alone warmed my heart. Reaching the top of the stairs, my eyes darted to Tracy's room.I couldn't stop myself from reaching it, twisting the knob and entering inside. There were police tapes everywhere. Dried up blood at the corner, Antony 's blood. I tore my eyes away and left the room headed for mine. I doubt I'll be getting any sleep.I did.The next morning, my entire body ached. I felt pain all over. I called for a maid who managed to secure some painkillers to ease my pain. I gave it a few minutes to work before jumping on the day's activities. I didn't have Michael's number, I doubt he'd give
79**TRACY SCOTT**~Day EightIt was all quiet from my end after all that ravaging. I lost my touch and the whole thing got me down. I crawled up in my own space and fought to wrap my arms around myself to provide the least amount of comfort I badly craved."Are you cold?"I heard him ask. I hissed and buried my head into my laps as deeply as I could. I didn't want to see, speak, talk, or have any form of interaction with that man. He's on my list already that makes him a dead man. I'm coming for all of them."Here, use this."He offered a jacket, placing it over my skin. I hissed and kicked him off."Don't pretend to care. Just go back to the front seat and enjoy your freedom while it lasts. Leave me the hell alone because I won't want to talk to you!"I raked at the top of my voice. He lifted the jacket, placing it back on his skin, then walked away.I went back to my sulking state awaiting what's to come. How long is the trio anyway? We've been driving for hours now. Maybe another
80** Mr Scott **~Day TwoI tucked my hands in my pocket and began my journey to Griffen park. A few passing by persons recognized me and while a few showed sympathy by shaking their heads or offering a small smile, others shamelessly hissed and walked by. I guess your eyes aren't really open to things until you become a victim, that's the occurrence and deep shit I'm in. I didn't know the hatred had gotten to this extent, it's so bad that anyone can openly admit to being happy that my daughter has been kidnapped, the hate comments even get to an extent where they wish she'll drop dead, or get tortured. It's that painful.Regardless, I got to the park and my phone began ringing. As I said, he's keeping a close eye on me."Check under the sixty bench, act normal, don't arouse suspicions. There's a small note waiting. After you retrieve it, don't open it until you're back in your office, ensure you read it in the restroom, I'm almost certain they have cameras in the hallway and a few i
81**TRACY SCOTT**~Day Eight"You weren't kidding Huh? He is truly here."I gulped slightly agitated and at the same time definately frightened."Yes. It's time you two get well acquainted with one another right?"I didn't react. I didn't speak, I arched my back further into the chair and kept silent."I'd like to stay alone, if that jerk comes back I'll take care of him or whatever, but I sincerely don't need to stay around you, you and I have nothing to discuss."I dismissed him in a final note."Tracy ...""What is it? What do you want to say that's going to change or influence our current situation? Absolutely nothing. We are in this now and there's no going back. I've come to terms with it. Please do. You betrayed my trust, you joined hands with the person who killed the man I cared about, you were also actively involved in my kidnapping since you knew our routes and other things, you're still involved in my current capture giving you express access to my list, I will get my ow
**MR SCOTT**Day Four"Cut the crap suspenseful Micheal, it's beginning to turn into a habit, I want to know what's going on with Antony . I'll sincerely appreciate it if you tell me the truth."I gritted my teeth. I heard him sigh on the other end."The doctor says he was bleeding internally. He was able to locate the source and take care of it so Antony didn't bleed out, but it somehow reversed all what we've been working for."My heart fell and shattered into pieces."That means we are back to the night of the abduction all over again? There's no progress at all?"I asked for confirmation. It was truly hard to believe."Yes. I'msorry about that Mr Scott It wasunintended.""What's the response time at this point.""Weeks."I breathed out and buried my face in my palm."Alright then. There isn't much we can do afterall. Thank you for updating me. I'll keep up the fronthere, please always let me know things as soon as they occur. I want to be kept in the loop ""I will."He assu
**TRACY SCOTT**~Day EightIn all Eight days, this is the first time I've seen the insides of someplace remotely normal. That's if it's still Eight days. Last thing I recalled was getting sedated while contemplating on getting on a plan with the head of an organisation against trying my luck by running away.Tina gave me a shot at the side of my arm to pause my thoughts and fixed my decision for me, get in whether you like it or not.Ethan was injured in the cross-fire. We came close there. It's because of his effort I'll get to see another day, without him I'll be dead. A bullet hit his leg as we tried to get out, but I expect he's getting medical attention Already.I woke up drowsy as always whenever a sedative was given. They always made it in high dosage.An entire day couldn't have passed right? It was dark outside, I suspected it's still the same day just hours passed so it was currently evening.As I said, I was in someplace normal. A typical bedroom, a television hanging on th
**MR SCOTT**~Day Eight~One Hour LaterI called the office, informed them that I'll come in a little late today, I decided not to skip an entire day, too much suspicion would get drawn towards me on different ends. It's been an hour with no news so far.Tracy was taken out. Michael's hands tied with no new leads. I managed to freshen up further, change even then sit on my bed, occasionally stand up and pace around myself without an answer to the burning question on all our minds. What the hell is going.Just when I was about to lose it completely, the phone began ringing. Rushing towards it, I picked the call, hung it over my ear, tilting my ear so it wouldn't fall, then I grabbed a pen and paper for anything that needed to get put into writing."I couldn't back to you since, it's been a tough day from my end."He breathed, more like paused from the panting session I caught him in."I understand, but I just need to know if you were able to locate Tracy.""We have her location. They'r
**TRACY SCOTT**~Day NineI tried to move while seating on the bed. Ethan's hand immediately went to the small of my back. He was shot, I was sedated, shouldn't this be the other way around?"It feels like I'm in some sort of dream. I can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm actually in his house, and oddly I find it very unconvincing and hard to believe. Where's everyone else?"He sighed and released a small chuckle even. What's funny? I crossed my arms underneath my chest, managing a glare aimed at him."You ask a lot. I'm stuck on which question to attend to first, I'll start randomly. The rest of the crew are in the general room discussing what to do next and how to proceed. I'm not Mr M, he'll show himself to you when the time is right, but that's all I know. Nothing more. For the nth time, I'm here because you've had a rough forty eight hours, back to back sedation isn't healthly. That's all you've been getting for eight days. I want to check to see if there are any damages,
