Chapter 6 - Chapter 4

Tory was in a tight spot she had called the only person that could save her sister but he told her to come on Monday, and today is Friday, she thought and it was just evening,it wouldn't be long before their parents found out they were missing. There was only one thing to do, screw Robert Moore, she was getting out of Newyork, she had saved enough working as an accountant up until two years ago, so until she found another job a the money was enough for their daily needs. So getting out of Newyork was what they did, little did they know about what fate had in store for them.

Robert was in the parking lot when a woman pushing a wheelchair rushed past him, the woman pushing the wheelchair kept looking back as if something was following her while the one on the wheelchair was sleeping he couldn't see her face properly as she was wearing a nose mask and face cap but the way her head was tilted to the side indicated that she was asleep, he wanted to call the hospital security because he thought the patient was being kidnapped but there was a nurse with them and there was concern for the patient written on their faces, but what had made him truly stop to observe was the fact that the patient hair was light red and curly like Alexa's but before he could decide to them stop the car which had been waiting for them had zoomed off, so he snapped out of it and entered the ground floor of the hospital and saw Mr Ward, the head of the pi's which he had employed to find Rose, " she's in room 102, i just checked her hospital files and saw that the time she was admitted was two hours after the time you said you spoke to her last and there was a news article about an accident that happened on the same day at a place one hour from here and the time of the news tallied with the time of your phone call but there is a slight issue" Robert was already anxious as this was the closest they had gotten so far for the past two years so he asked " which is" she has amnesia" the statement stopped him in his tracks as he was surprised but he did not let it show on his face," lets go to her room first" he said instead.

On getting to her room he saw a woman and two men arguing " she was here with her sister when we left, how could they do this to us their parents" this was coming from the woman, " we shouldn't have trusted Tory when she said we could leave her with her sister" one of the men said , " so Henry you mean to tell me that you left her with her older sister after you called me and expected them to still be here, knowing fully well that she kept Alexa a secret for the past two years, i can't believe how you were able to pull the wool over Robert Moore's eyes and stole from him", it was when Robert heard his name that he decided to make his presence known " I'm sorry but do i know you?" when three of them heard his voice they turned, and alas, one of them was the fraud Henry Watson, whom his lawyers have been searching for all this while, " Well, Well, Well if it isn't Henry Watson, what are you doing here?" he asked, " My daughter was admitted in this room, but now she and her sister are missing " Henry explained " do you mean to tell me that the girl that was admitted here is your daughter?" Robert asked shocked, " yes, what do you want from her, if i may ask" Henry asked as he could not figure out why Robert was in his daughter's room. " Can we see a picture of her cause her hospital records does not come with a picture and can we also see a picture of her sister " Mr Ward asked instead , Kate launched into action and started searching for the pictures, she saw Tory's picture and showed it to them, when Robert saw the picture he remembered the woman he saw at the parking lot and the phone call he had with a Tory Watson at his office and then he connected all the dots but he didn't say anything as he was waiting to see Alexa's picture but it seemed like the couple were having trouble finding the picture and Robert was already getting angry at this point. Nick brown did not know what to do as he did not understand why Robert was searching for Alexa's picture or why he was in her hospital room to begin with, so he finally voiced out "wait, what's going on here?" "i also don't know " Henry replied and beckoned on Kate to search faster as Robert's anger was now very obvious on his face, but Kate was having trouble finding it, "so you mean to tell me that you don't have your daughter's picture" he bellowed " what kind of parents are you?" he then signalled to Mr Ward " tell the nurse to call the police, this people have kidnapped someone and are unwilling to release her" knowing how crucial the matter of kidnapping was Nick immediately shouted, " wait, i have her picture " he gave his phone to Robert, when Robert saw the picture, it was of his wife only that she had brown hair, he immediately grabbed Henry and said " is your first daughter named Tory" " yes" Henry said in fear " so what she told me on the phone was true, i guess the man you wanted to sell Alexa to was this old man" he looked towards Nick , "Ward take care of them, they left the hospital when i was on my way up" Robert called Tory's number but it was switched off, he tried it again but it was still the same, then he thought " if only i had known her full name, she was right under my nose the whole time and now she's gone again, Alexa where are you now?"
