I have made a lot of mistakes in my life before. A lot of actions that I had taken out of impulse have gone wrong. But nothing compares to what I did yesterday. I lost the best thing that ever happened to me in my life.
It is my fault. It is completely my fault that she is missing. I abandoned her in the parking lot. After that, no one saw her. I must have never yelled at her.
But I was so exhausted at that time. I hadn't slept for two days continuously. And I took out all of my frustration at her. Why wasn't I mature enough to realize that she was just drunk? People do crazy things when they are drunk.
Once I was so high that I ended up kissing a guy. I still don't remember who the guy was. And I don't know for sure if I slept with him or not. Same way, Hannah could have kissed the stripper because of intoxication.
Maybe my jealousy clouded my brain yesterday. My mind was fucked up deeply when I saw her with another man and I ended up acting like a teenage boy.
Ricky got inside my workspace. He was carrying a tray. " Mr. Eaton, I bought you breakfast."
" Why are you bringing it to me? What happened to the maid?" I asked him.
" I'm sorry, Mr. Eaton. Right now every servant in this mansion is scared to come near you. I heard that you threw away the apricot juice which maid offered you this morning," he replied.
" What can I do, Ricky? I screwed up so bad this time. It's my fault that she is missing. What if my rivals had taken her? They are capable of doing anything to her."
" Mr. Eaton, I could guess one person who could have taken her. It must be Keith MaCadie."
" How do you say that?"
" He molested Hannah in the mall. Clearly, he has a motive. Keith is from LA so it is easy for him to track her down and abduct her."
Ricky always had the superpower of predicting possible outcomes. His predictions so far have been right. So it must be Keith MaCadie. I'm going to melt that bastard in a barrel with lye.
" Come on, Ricky. Let's go and get that son of a bitch!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ricky and I barged inside MaCadie's production company. Everyone in there was surprised to see me. Well, I was in my rival's production house so it is natural that people get surprised.
I climbed upstairs and walked towards MaCadie's cabin. A staff member walked up to me and blocked my way. " How can I help you?" she asked me.
" I want to see the motherfucking MaCadies. Now get out of my way." I yelled at her.
She got scared and walked away immediately. Craig MaCadie came out of his cabin. He must have heard me shouting." Mr. Eaton, what brings you here?" he asked me.
" I came here to see your adorable son Keith."
" Please come inside, Mr. Eaton. Let us talk," he said.
I went inside his cabin and Ricky followed me. There were so many boxes inside. One box was opened and they were peonies in it. So this is how crack cocaine is imported from Russia. But I could care less about that now. My priority is to save Hannah.
" Why do you want to see my son?" he asked.
" Because your son has abducted my fiance. And I want her back. "
His expression got serious. " What? Keith would never do such a thing. "
" Really? What do you know about your son, Mr. MaCadie? Your son molested my fiance in Spencer's mall. Did you know that?"
" If what you are saying right now is true then I'm apologizing to you on his behalf. I'll try to keep my son in control."
I was about to say something but the cabin door opened. It was Keith! I went straight to him and punched him in the face. " Tell me where is Hannah?" I asked him.
" What are you talking about, man? How can I know the whereabouts of your fiance?"
" Stop acting, you bastard. Tell me where is she? Or else you know what I'm capable of doing."
" Mr. Eaton, he is telling the truth," Craig interrupted. " We don't have her."
" Okay," I turned to him. " How can I believe you?"
" Listen, my son. What do I get by abducting a young girl? I'm a believer in God and I would never harm women. I once again apologize to you for my son's inappropriate behavior."
" Save your breath, pastor. My men are already in your house."
His wrinkled cheeks flared red with anger. " What? Did you barge inside my private property? You have no right to do that?"
" Mr. Eaton, he is right. Our men didn't find Hannah in his house," Ricky said from behind.
All the hopes that I build-up shattered immediately. Still, I didn't take my gaze off Craig. I have a feeling that he is somehow involved. My instinct never lies. I should just have to push him a little harder. "Okay, Mr. MaCadie. I'm sorry for sending my men into your house unannounced. But you have to just answer my one question. I'll walk out of here right now."
" What is it, my son?"
" If you and your son didn't abduct Hannah, then who could have possibly done that? Please answer."
" Why don't ask your fiance's father about it? I heard that Hannah is with you against her father's will."
This guy made me think. It is a possibility. But it is absurd. He is in Alaska right now and he could have never abducted Hannah without the help of his ally from LA. So it means that MaCadies must have helped Patterson with it. This old man just confessed the truth.
" Ricky, take out the gun. This old man must have helped Patterson in abducting her," I said.
" What? Why would I assist Patterson? I've never met that man in my life."
Ricky came to me close to me and said " Mr. Eaton. Let us leave now. There is no use in interrogating this pastor. He really doesn't know anything. His son may be a freak, but this man is not someone who would kidnap a girl."
He winked at me twice while talking. I understood what he was doing. Ricky does this always. When he finds something crucial, he does this. Maybe he found out who took her.
We both left the production house. After I got in my limo, I asked him, " What did you uncover?"
" It must be Znakomstvo! He must have taken her," he replied.
" Ricky, how can you be sure about it? Patterson could have taken her. He must be very unhappy that I was going to marry his daughter. He has a motive."
" That is where you go wrong Mr. Eaton. Craig MaCadie is definitely involved in the abduction of Hannah. When you asked him about Hannah's whereabouts, he was trying to pin it up on Patterson."
" So?"
" MaCadie works for Znakomstvo. He must have helped Znakomstvo in capturing Hannah. That's why he is pinning it on Patterson to cover up the real culprit. "
I finally comprehended the logic. So it means that Znakomstvo has Hannah! How am I going to save her from him? He is too powerful. Daria Ivanova supports him.
This changes everything. Now he can bargain anything and I would be obligated to follow that. Ricky looked like he read my mind.
" Don't worry, Mr. Eaton. We always find a way."
