It's been 45 minutes since liz was missing.shayne had jus pulled into the Marcatney's driveway.he quickly gets out of the car and hurries inside. Mr Macartney was about to make a phone call when Shayne came in. He walks over to him and gives him liz's phone." This was all I found sir...when I reached her car she was gone I did see a black car and a black van leaving the area when I got there...it looked like Mr Kings car dad." He said as he looked at his father." Mr King...are you sure?" Mr Macartney asked as he took the phone and placed his hand on shaynes shoulder." Don't worry my boy,we will find her....come on sit." Shayne sat on the sofa and told them everything that happened after they left the school, his mother came and sat beside him.mrs marcartney gives him a glass of water and he drinks it down.he the places the glass on the coffee table and looks at her." I really tried to reach her as fast as I could but ...I was too late...I'm sorry." Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sat beside him." It will be okay....my daughter is strong she will be okay." She places her hand on his and looks at her husband who was furious.he left the room and went into his office and came back holding a gun." I will find her no matter what." He looks over to Mr Mendez who was standing near the door." I know what your thinking Frank,but I'm going alone this time."hearing this Mr Mendez walks over to him and looks at him with worry." Your not goin alone were going with you Ben and this time I'm not taking no for an answer."
Mr Macartney sighs as he loads his gun." You know it will be dangerous...I can't guarantee that we will make it out alive.mr king has alot of henchmen and they are quite dangerous." He said as he places the gun inside his coat." And since when are we afraid of Mr King?...you know as well as I that he won't hurt your daughter.he wants us...and he will get us...now then son,let's go." Shayne spings to his feet and walks over to his dad. His eyes filled with sadness and anger. Mr Macartney looks at Shayne and tells him to get changed. He quickly goes next door and changes he then walks over to his desk and pulls out a gun and places it in his jacket.he quickly walks over to the Macartney's front gate to meet his dad and Mr Macartney standing outside. He waved at his mom and then gets into the car with Felix and two of Mr Macartney's other bodyguards. He looked over at the front car and saw his dad and Mr Mendez drive off with two more men.they quickly followed the car as they made their way to Mr kings mansion.
Meanwhile Josh had pulled up at Mr kings Casino He got out of the car as he followed Mr king to the black van. Josh walks to the side of the van and opens the door looking at the unconscious girl.her hair covered her face and her familiar scent filled the air. " Bring her inside to the master bedroom." Mr King said as he walked towards the front door of the building.the men were just about to lift her when Josh removed the hair from her face and was shocked." Its her...Let me take her inside." He said as he scooped liz up in his arms.her was head resting on his shoulder as he carried her unconscious body inside. Alot of noise could be heard from inside.the place fell silent as everyone stared at him carrying liz in his arms.mr king looks at them and laughs." Don't worry about her she is Josh's date.she just had alittle too much to drink. She will be okay. Go back to what you we re doing." Everyone turns away and began their drinking and gambling again. Josh walks into the master bedroom and places liz on the bed.he then pulls the covers over her and stands by the the window looking outside.mr king walks towards him and places his hand on his shoulder." Something wrong son?" He asked as Josh looks at liz then to Mr king." What are you going to do with her dad?" His father smiles as he lights a ciggar. He then walks over to the bed and looks at liz asleep.she looked so peaceful.
" She is so innocent, so delicate...we are not going to do a thing to her.
We just have to wait...Ben and Frank will come for her..." He puffs his ciggar and looks at Josh." And when they do, I will kill them." He said as he puffs his ciggar again.then moves away from the bed and walks toward Josh who stood there in disbelief. " keep her safe...no harm must come to her...do you understand." He puffs his ciggar and continues as Josh nods." When she is awake feed her and give her a change of clothes." Josh looks at his father who turns to walk out the door. " Where are you going?" His father stops at the doorway and answered." I'm goin home my guest will be arriving soon...they will be looking for her." He said as he closes the door behind him.josh walks over and locks the door he then takes a chair over to the bed and sits down.
he was lost deep in his thoughts." Why her...It could've been anyone else not her." He sat and thought carefully about everything that had occurred in the last hour.
JOSH-
I was at my dads club sitting and having a few beers with my friends Jake,Tyler and Jason, when my dad called.he said he had important work and needed my help. So I left the club to go pick him up at his casino.i was then given orders to take him to meet his old business associates.not knowing it was her house....then later... not knowing who this girl was I slammed into her car and ran her off the road...I was so sure that I was doing the right thing but when I got out of the car and saw her....my heart froze....I just watched as those guys took her and put her in that van. I was only following instructions...I drove her here to the casino,my mind told me differently...I wanted to take her away but...my dad...sighs...my dad told me to bring her inside....he said we have to keep her safe..I felt relieved to hear that....but,what will happen when she wakes up and sees I'm the one who kidnapped her?... will she run away from me?..what do I do?
He was worried when he saw liz began to move her hand."mmmm..." she moaned.he quickly pulls the blanket up over her shoulders and she got quiet or so he thought.he looked at her and slowly got up and walks over to the door.she was in a sealed room so the noise didn't disturb her.as he held the handle and was about to open the door he froze dead in his tracks." Where am I?"
meanwhile Mr king had just entered his mansion
Mr Macartney and Mr Mendez followed him inside.
He walks over into his office and sits at his desk and begins to pour a drink." What can I do for you?" He asked as he lights a ciggar.mr Macartney looks at him in anger." I know you have her king...where is she? Taking a sip of his brandy Mr king looks at his glass and then back to Mr marcartney." I don't have your daughter.feel free to look around if you like Ben...she is not here.now if you will excuse me I have better things to do." He got up and left his office and headed to his room. Mr Macartney and Mr Mendez searched the entire mansion and found nothing.they headed out to the car and was about to leave when Shayne calls." I searched every club and casino that Mr king owns but there was no sign of liz." He said. Mr Macartney sighed " it's okay head back to the house we are on our way." They both got into the car and headed for home.
Mr king looked out his window as the car drove off. He walks over to the coffee table and picks up his phone. He dials Josh's number and gets no answer.he then calls one of his henchmen.
" Listen Rico,tell Josh to come home right away and bring the young lady with him,if she is awake." He then hangs up the call and heads to his shower.
