"Hmmm.... Sarah,"
"What's up Meg?"
"I was wondering if we can go out for a change,"
"I will ask Ben,"
"No, I mean only the two of us, no security,"
"I don't think they will agree,"
"But...'
"hi, I know something is bothering you, Meg. If you don't tell how can I know? And I will ask Ben tonight if we can go out?"
"Ok, dear,"
I was resting my back on the headboard of my bed while I watched Sarah looking out from the balcony. THis is not her usual way who is a book bug, who falls a sleep in her hand. I went to her and hugged her from behind.
"Honey,"
"Hmm"
"Is everything ok?"
"Mhmm.... well..."
"Come on what are you hiding?"
"Can me and Meg go out without the security?"
"You can but they will be there,"
"I know, what I ask is wrong. Maybe you can ask them to keep a watch out from far?"
"Hmm, I will ask Markus and see, But may I know why so suddenly?"
"I don't know, Meg asked suddenly. But I know something is worrying her,"
Now I see what was wrong. It's because of Ms.Tomboy. I am surprised that Meg didn't tell her anything.
"Ben,"
"Yes, love,"
"Can you ask Alex?"
"Ok..come let's go to bed,"
The next day I met Alex, who was pondering over a financial report.
"Alex,"
"hi, did you check this?"
"What project is that?"
"The Hamilton's"
"Not yet, but I will do it today,"
"So did you have a fight with Sarah?"
"I never do, you know it,"
"Ok, then what's wrong?"
"Sarah says that Meg is not herself these days,"
"Hmm, I've noticed,"
"Did you ask her why?"
"Well, she said it was just an issue at the hospital,"
After hearing that I mentioned the request made by her. And the no security issue.
"What?!"
"Yes, Sarah asked me because your wife asked her,"
"No way, I cannot let them get harmed by anyone,"
"Maybe we can find a way to secretly look after them," I said already asking Markus to come in.
The three of us made a plan, and I informed them that Sarah and Meg could go out the next day. Marcus had his team install GPS locators underneath the car. But I have to say I was a bit worried because I was feeling uneasy about their outing.
--------------
"You girls be safe," said Alex with a worried expression.
"If anything happens just call me, as soon as you can," I said to Sarah, who looked cute in her new sundress.
I know how much Sarah hated to go out without us. But I had to. Alex sends his team secretly in casual wear to blend in and be with them.
"Sarah, let's go to that shop, I heard they got some new stuff," Meg said dragging her to the shop that had exclusive designer wear.
"But you can get the same for less in that," she complained.
"I will wear these insides out so they know it's branded," said Meg laughing.
They spend about an hour in that shop trying out dresses, while Sarah didn't buy anything except for a hat. While Meg went on buying some jeans and tops plus some office wear. They went into many shops while Meg bought perfumes and other little things she liked. Sarah on the other hand, spend time browsing through some novels and got a few new books to read.
"Hmm.. let's head to the cafeteria," said Meg looking around.
"Ok," she said as she was feeling a bit hungry after all this shopping for this and that.
"Hi, Meg wait, let's go to that men's wear shop for a second," she said dragging Meg into the shop.
After browsing for a while Sarah got three long sleeve shirts, two neckties, and two sets of cuff links that will look good on Ben.
After that, they head to the cafe and had some snacks and drinks. Meg excused herself and left for the washroom while Sarah waited for the check.
Even after half an hour Meg didn't return, which worried Sarah. She went and looked for at the washroom, but she was not to be found.
"Ben," she called him.
"Sarah, is everything ok?"
"Ben, Meg,..."
"What happened?"
"Meg went to the washroom and still didn't return for almost half an hour, I checked everywhere she might go, but..."
"You stay there, while Alex's team comes to you, We will be there in ten," said Ben, almost signaling Alex it's urgent.
"No sir, she's nowhere to be seen,"
"Let's check the security cameras," said Alex.
While Ben stayed with Sarah, Alex went to check the security cameras.
"Alex did you find something," Alex called Ben he asked.
"Yes, you remember that patient she once had,"
" You mean that, physio man?"
"Yes, he had seen her and had dragged her away,"
"Do you know where?"
"Yes, the police followed the CCTV's by the number plate. You two go home. We will be back before you know it,"
