So your friend that want to come visit you, did he come. @reliance

So you want to except him? @Reliance

At first, I want him for my best friend but since she is not interested in him and he too is not. Whitney

So! You haven't answered my question. @Reliance

Fine, do you love him? @reliance

Maybe, he is cool, gentle. Whitney

Stupid girl. He log out without telling her good night, he is really pissed, he get himself into his jacuzzi, he need to have a cool bath because Whitney had pissed him up

Why did he log out? Oh, maybe it's network. The next morning, Gregory dress up to go to work

Paula, get Whitney for breakfast, I want to be the one to drop her off

Paula go to her room and return.

Sir, she is not there.

What do you mean she is not there? He rush into the room, only to find out her wears are missing.

Jeez!

Boss, why are you yelling?

Craig, she is not in the room and her wears are gone.

What? Craig is in shock when three of the security walk in

Sir, we find this things outside the mansion, is like she is kidnapped. Gregory eyes widen, seeing her bag and phone, he hit the security.

Imbecile, where were you, when she is kidnapped? So you all are here for fancy

Greg, calm down.

I can't calm down, what if they hurt her? He text Tony to bring Cathy over

Tony, sorry, I am making you go late

Beans pie!

Yes!

We should go to Gregory

Why? Is everything fine?

Sure, Gregory said I should bring you.

Okay, I will text my boss that I will be late. Come on, let's leave.

Arriving at the mansion, the security had multiple, Gregory and Craig are at the living room, Craig is busy on the phone.

What is happening? Where is Whitney?

She is not here. Gregory answer.

Did she run away? Geez! Oh God! George will kill me. She rush towards the door.

Where are you going? Gregory asked her.

To look for her, maybe she went to hostel.

I don't think so, the thing is... He looks at Craig to help him out.

Whitney is kidnapped. Craig drop the bombshell, he is not good at bending things.

Uh! She screamed. Let me have your phone. She yelled at Tony

What...

She didn't give him a chance, she reach for his pocket and get the phone, she try George number but it didn't go through, she throw Tony phone back to him when it didn't go through

Her eyes catch Whitney's phone, she try it and it ring

Hey princess, how did you know I am back? George answer from the other side.

It's not Whitney, is Cathy.

Oh! You have finally forgiven me? How are you?

Whitney is missing, she has been kidnapped

What?

I am sorry brother, I...

Where are you? Send the address, we are coming to Abuja.

What? You are coming with mother

Shut up and tell me what I want to hear.

Don't worry, when you get to park I come pick you. The line went blank, Cathy tears drop, she is heading to the door again

Beans pie! Tony call her, she slapped Tony, Craig and Gregory would had laughed on a norm but it's a different situation

Don't you dare call me, it's all because of you, I would had been here, she will not have left, I was so stupid that I don't think

She turned again to go.

Beans pie!

Tony don't call me again, if I can't find her, George will kill me and I will make sure I kill you before George do, so for now back off.

Cathy!

Gregory call her, her tears is much, he pulled her into his embrace.

Don't worry, I promise to bring her back but I could only be at peace if you are here, maybe, the person is still out there.

Will you get her back? Cathy asked in midst of tears.

I will but promise me, you will not go out till I return.

Okay, I will wait here.

Good, come Craig let's go and Tony, you should take care of her. They both dart out, Tony walk to Cathy

Beans pie! I am sorry. Cathy hugged him and cry.

I am sorry too.

Don't worry, she will be fine.

I hope so.

George rush back to their apartment, clara and Flora are back from their farming as well

Son, why are you looking all tense? Flora, Whitney mother asked, the two are really close, sometimes, you will think that she is assuredly his mother.

mother, please don't freak out. George held Flora hand.

What is it? Flora asked.

The thing is Whitney is kidnapped, Cathy called to tell me.

Uh! Flora screamed, her tears drop, Clara, the mother of George held to console her

At this point we are going to Abuja.

Son, we are going with you? Clara asked him.

Yes mother, I can't leave you two here, you will get worried.

George, where are we going to stay over there? You know we can't live in hostel? Flora asked

I will ask Cathy to show as an hotel where, we can lodge

Okay, you and Flora, should leave I will stay so it will save fund. Clara said.

No, I can't take the risk, I know you are worried but you are just acting tough, you two should just get little wears, let me see how to get some cash so we leave.

Okay son, careful. Clara tells George, when he get the door knob

Mother, you can cry if you want. He noticed his mother want to cry but too afraid that he will scold her that she is supposed to be comforting Flora, Whitney mother crying, so she held her tears back

Him asking her to cry, gave her the opportunity to cry, he shake his head

Women,are problematic.

He left the two women crying out their lungs

Boss, can you stop.

Stop! Did you just say stop? You don't know how I am feeling; I feel like hell, I don't even know why I get mad at her last night, she would had told me her plans if I didn't log out, out of anger.

I know that you are hurting and you are taking it too far

Craig, let me be, I can't be at rest if I can't find her, what if those bastard hurt her. He run his hand on his neck in frustration.

Craig private investigator enter the office, he look at Gregory.

Go on, it's save. Craig tell him

Alright, I found out that one of those bloody prisoner, that is a deadly kidnapper escape from prison yesterday morning, he is on the run and he had kidnap several girls immediately after his escape..

So? Craig interrupt him, he hate long explanation.

In a nutshell, when he kidnapped girls, he do sell them to three places, but among the three, the one at the outskirts of town is the deadly, it's called slaughter market

Gregory eyes bulge out.

Yes, they sell girls for prostitution to white who want girls for their animal and the most beautiful the Lord wolf keep her for himself.

Shit! Gregory hit the wall.

But we haven't confirmed if she is there, we have checked the other two but she is not there, this is the last one.

Go and Check stop talking nonsense. Craig yelled at him, he dash out, Craig look at him, he is all drench.

Greg! Don't worry nothing will happen to her.

It better, if not I will kill Jane and her father with my bare hands. He is mad, his phone ring.

Why is Tony calling?

Go on and pick, maybe he is worried, we haven't telling him anything since morning. He press the answering button.

Boss' boss do you have any news yet.

No, not yet, Craig private investigator is working on it, why are you calling?

Oh, you are gone the entire day, Cathy is worried, she didn't get any information from you.

Oh that, just tell her, we haven't confirmed anything yet.

Okay George and their mother are here, she said she wants to go pick them, so they can get where to stay.

No, don't let her go, it's late, you should go pick them and bring them to the mansion.

I don't think Cathy will agree to that.

Give her the phone. Gregory asked him to give Cathy, he hand the phone to Cathy

Hello Greg!

Tony, told me you want to go out.

Yes, I want to go pick them, they are almost at the pack.

Please, don't go out, Tony will go pick them and bring them to the mansion

But...

Don't worry, Tony know what to do.

Okay, have you heard anything from Whitney.

No but relax, we are working on it.

Alright, I will wait. The line die off.

I think we should go home and search the CCTV footage. Craig said, Gregory nodded.

Tony is at the pack waiting for George. Son! Did you think it's right, for Cathy to come out this late? Flora asked him

I know it's late but we barely know anywhere here, so she have to come, so we can get where to stay then tomorrow I go report it at station

Tony called and hugged him

It's been awhile. Tony said, George smile.

Yes!

Good evening ma! He greet the women.

How are you son? Clara asked.

I am fine ma.

Mother, don't you know this lazy boy, my classmate when I was in high school.

Oh! He is all grown up, he is now very handsome.

Yes, that is true, you, what are you doing here? George asked him.

I came to pick you up. George laughed.

Tony, please leave me alone, we are waiting for Cathy.

She is with me, she asked me to come pick you all. George look at him suspiciously. Come on let's go, I will explain everything later.

Sure, come on mother. The three enter the car. When did you return from United States? I heard that is where you live now?

Yes, it's going to two months.

The rest of the ride is silent, when Craig and Gregory get into the mansion, Cathy is fidgeting

What is wrong with her? Craig asked Gregory, the door fall open, Tony walk with the three visit.

George tower the three, his two mothers and Tony, he has a broad chest like Craig and Gregory, he is handsome but not to be compare to Craig and Gregory, let's say like Tony and his space teeth, confirm that he is Cathy's brother.

Welcome ma! Gregory and Craig greet the women, Clara just nodded, she is not much of a talker, Flora reply.

How are you?

We are fine. Cathy didn't say a word, she is looking at the floor.

Daughter, are you not happy to see me? Flora called.

Mother, I am sorry, I could not protect Whitney. Her tears drop talking to Flora; Whitney's mom.

Come here, it's not your fault. She want to run into Flora hand but George stop her middle way, with his strong arms.

Cathy, where were you when she is kidnapped? His voice is like thunder, Cathy gulped her saliva. Go on, you can't talk.

Brother, I am sorry, I didn't...

Shut up! Answer me. He want to pull her but Flora held his hand.

Son, don't hurt her, this is not our house.

Fine, you will not get away with this.

Ahem! Gregory clear his throat. You just arrived, let me get you room. Paula!

Prepare a room for them.

Don't worry, I want to sleep in same room with my daughter. Flora voice came up.

Alright, Cathy take your mothers to the room, the chef will prepare dinner for them and George right? George nod! Paula will fixed a room for you.

He nodded again.

Come on Craig, let's see the footage. Gregory tell Craig.

Can I see it too? George asked, Gregory nodded to him.

Watching it, they see how Whitney is struggling with the kidnappers, Cathy is at the living room, she wants to get glass for her mother.

Cathy, please save me. Whitney yelled as they drag her, the glass fall to the floor, George turned and look at her, her tears fall

He turned to get her but Craig is between them.

Please, don't hurt her.

Don't worry, I will not, I just want to teach her a little lesson.

Instead of hurting her, you should...

Craig, this is the face on the sketch, it's him. Craig rush to Gregory, so do George.

Dammit! Gregory hit the wall

The security lead the private investigator in.

Any news? Gregory asked him.

Yes, we found out that she is at the slaughter market.

How long will it take to get there? Craig asked.

Six hours but if you are fast, five will do. The investigator reply

Six freaking hours is damn too long! George voice thunder, he is the type with a big voice, when he is mad, it increases more.

Do you have the map to go there? Craig asked, he nodded and gave to him. Thanks, I will make your transfer.

It's okay but please don't go with out security, it's a dead zoom.

He said and pull the door.
