Chapter 38 - Kidnapped

 

  A week went by and it was now July of 1888, and Schaffe was in his backyard garden with Victoria as they watched Jay and the servants planting flowers.

  "So, what do you think our child is going to be?" asked Victoria.

  "My luck it a girl," said Schaffe.

  "Oh, is that what you think it would be?" asked Victoria.

  "Yeah, I'm sure of it, but boy or girl as long as it is alive that's all that matters to me," said Schaffe.

  "Fair Point," said Victoria. Jay comes over.

  "It should be almost done, my lord," said Jay.

  "Good, hopefully, this photoshoot is good for tomorrow," said Schaffe.

  "Then you and Miss Dracul have a painting schedule as well later in the week," said Jay.

  "Great, sitting in a pose for multiple hours," said Schaffe.

  "Sir, it's Frye tradition to get a Lord and his Lady for the main hall and we get to put it to James and Lillith's painting, we have cleaned up the area well for it," said Jay.

  "When you put it like that, I have to do it now," said Schaffe.

  "Thank you, my lord," said Jay with a bow. They see Alucard come out of the back of the manor to them.

  "Good, Sir Alucard," said Jay.

  "Hey…," said Alucard who looks he looking for something.

  "Are you looking for Alice?" asked Victoria.

  "Yeah, I haven't seen her all morning," said Alucard.

  "You check her, room?" asked Schaffe.

  "No, she usually here working with the others, but I could check it now. Maybe she not feeling well," said Alucard.

  "I feel something is wrong here," said Schaffe. "Allow me to accompany you."

  "Alright," said Alucard. They head off to Alice's room.

 

  They reach the servant's quarters of Frye's manor, right outside Alice's room. Alucard begins to knock on the door.

  "Hey, Alice. it's me Alucard, are you feeling, okay?" he asked. They wait a bit but no answer from inside.

  "Strange?" questioned Schaffe. Alucard tried to open the door but it was locked.

  "Damn," said Alucard.

  "Here, allow me a go?" asked Schaffe. He sees the lock of the door and snaps his right index and thumb. He used a spell to unlock the door to Alice's room.

  "Whoa, that's cool," said Alucard.

  "Thank, Godo," said Schaffe. They would enter her room.

 

  Schaffe and Alucard enter Alice's room and see there is a mess inside as it seems a struggle was there.

  "Oh, no," said Alucard.

  "This is not good," said Schaffe. They look around until they find a letter on her dresser.

  "What this?" asked Alucard. Schaffe takes it opens the letter and reads it.

  "She has been kidnapped and it seems I have to pay a ransom," said Schaffe.

  "What are we going to do?" asked Alucard.

  "Well, I have a location to go to," said Schaffe. "I will go, find Jonathan, he could help us save her."

 

  Later Schaffe was outside near ruins outside the city of London with Jay.

  "So, what do you want me to do?" asked Jay.

  "Wait for me to come out with her," said Schaffe. He had a duffel bag full of money.

  "Well, Lady Violet who is away just got the message and is heading home," said Jay.

  "Alright," said Schaffe. He goes and enters the ruins to save Alice.
