Chloe was roughly placed on the floor by her assailant, who bound her hands and feet tightly, then pulled a picture out of his pocket and checked out Chloe's profile. Having satisfied himself, he grabbed his phone and made a call. "Burke here" the voice on the other end boomed.
"It's Adrian" the hitman said.
"Do you have O'Brian yet?"
"Yes. She came here- just like you told her to."
"Excellent. Now, make sure you aren't being followed, then bring her to the rendezvous point."
"What about her child?"
"What child?"
"O'Brian's pregnant, sir."
"Dammit!" Burke's voice said. "Alright, take care of the situation."
"Sir?" Adrian asked.
"I don't need to spell it out for you, Adrian. Take care of it."
"Yes, sir."
Two months later....
Jack was driving along the road, lost in thought. He wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing, but he knew that he needed to forever close the book on this part of his life in order to move on. He pulled up in front of the house. To his surprise, it looked deserted. The lights were off and the curtains were drawn. I'm at the right place- where is she? Jack got out of the car and went up to the door. He raised his hand to knock, but paused. Maybe she won't want to see me. I shouldn't do this. I should just go, let her live her life and be happy with Morris. But I should at least say goodbye. I owe it to her- and to myself.
He knocked forcefully on the door. "Chloe, are you in there?" After not receiving a response for a while, he turned to leave, but was stopped by the door opening and Morris appeared. A look of shock appeared on Morris' face for a split second, replaced quickly by anger, and without warning, Morris launched himself at Jack. Jack was taken by surprise at first, but reflexes honed over 2 decades of danger quickly kicked in, and Jack was able to subdue the other man to prevent him from hurting himself.
"Where is she, you bloody bastard?!"
Jack was confused. "What?"
"What have you done with my wife, you selfish bastard?"
"What are you talking about?" Jack asked.
Morris let out a short humorless laugh. "Don't play innocent with me, Jack. If Chloe wants to stay with you, at least tell me where she is so I can say goodbye."
Sensing that Morris wasn't going to attack him again at the moment, Jack released him. "Morris, I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know where Chloe is. That's why I came here- to talk to her."
"She told me 2 months ago that you called her and asked for her help. Then she disappeared. Who else could she be with?" Morris retorted.
"Morris, I haven't spoken to Chloe since the day I came back from China."
Both men went silent and came to the same conclusion. "Oh, my God. She's been taken." Morris said.
"Did she say anything about where she was going when you spoke to her?" Jack asked him.
"No. She wouldn't tell me. All she said was it was for you and she would be home later."
"Dammit." Jack said. "We have to find her."
"How? I've been looking for her for 2 months, and come up with nothing."
Jack was at a loss for once. "I don't know." But I do know what it's like to be abandoned and at the mercy of others. I won't let Chloe suffer that same fate.
