Chapter 23 - 23 THE LONG NIGHT

1 HOUR AFTER

Renah finished cooking and she was sitting down watching a movie and she got a phone call from Daniel.

Renah: Wassup?

Daniel: Um can u get well dressed and my driver is coming to pick you up. Meet me at the café.

Renah: OK. What's this for?

Daniel: Just do what I said we'll talk when you reach here.

Renah got her ready and texted Daniel that she was done. The driver came to pick her up. The driver took her to the place where Daniel was. She got out and headed to see Daniel. She sat with him.

Daniel: I want us to talk from here.

Renah: What?

Daniel: I want us to be away from home. Feel home OK.

Renah: I just cooked food for the both of us.

Daniel : Don't worry about it.

Renah: No i do. I went to buy the groceries, the rain all on me and u don't want to eat the food. That's disrespect.

Daniel: Look chill.

Renah went out immediately and headed home. Daniel ashamed of what he did, he followed her. He loudly called.

Daniel: Come get in the car

Renah: I will walk.

Daniel got in the car and followed Renah. He once again told her to get in the car. Renah refused. He then got out and took her in and Renah was extremely sad. The whole ride was silent and no one said a word.

Renah was mad at him for not appreciating what she did for him.

AT DANIEL'S HOME.

Daniel reached home and Renah got in the house and went to her room and Daniel was speechless. He then headed to his room too. Both went to sleep without saying a word to each other. Renah in her room was on her computer finding how she can save baby Gloria. But she couldn't find anything. She decided to call the black guy.

ON THE CALL

Renah: Did u find any news?

Black guy: I don't have any news but I'm suspecting a home around here. Can you come and we meet.

Renah: Okay. I'll be there in a while.

Renah got ready and went without Daniel noticing she then got a taxi to arrive her at the guy's house. She had a long way to go but she had to anyways.

AFTER AN HOUR

Renah was with black guy now. She then asked about every information and why he suspected that home. The black guy explained that ever since the man who lives in there is the only one to go out and do his work and no one should go out. Which may seem he is hiding something. So they planned how to know it was where Gloria was. The black guy climbed at the upper window and Renah on the other side knocked the door to distract the man.

Opening, there came a maid

Maid: Hey miss? Who do u need?

Renah: I need ur boss.

The maid immediately closed the door and hide everything that was in the living room and gave Renah a welcome. Renah got even more suspicious about the maid's attitude. She then asked where the restroom was and the maid guided her to the restroom but it was late when Renah attacked the maid and she fell down. Phew!

Renah ran inside to check the man and find where Gloria could be. She heard a baby's voice in a far away room and knew it was her precious Gloria. She walked slowly and got out the knife she was holding and walked towards the room and opening she saw black guy carrying baby Gloria but then the man came behind Renah and told both of them to freeze and put down whatever they had. Renah did so and black guy still stood up with baby Gloria in his arms and smiled

Black guy: Emmy right?

Emmy: Who the hell are you? No one knows my name here

Black guy: You're stupid you know that. How could you kidnap a young baby like her? R u insane or what?

Emmy: Put her down or I'll shoot her.

Black guy had to decide either to let Emmy shoot Renah or save the baby and just leave. It was hard to save both of them but what will the black guy do?
