Danny had a big smile on his face as he came in the door that day. He had just found the child of a coupled that owned a small flower shop and had thanked him and his partner with a free bouquet of their choice. He took advantage of the moment and bought two dozen of the most beautiful roses in the store,and he had a silk bow tied around it. Normally he wouldn't be able to afford something this fancy,but free is free. He started whistling as he walked into the house. Linda was nowhere to be found,so he searched around the house for her still whistling. He put the roses in some water She wasn't in the living room,the master bedroom,and there was no answer when he knocked on the bathroom door. He was getting anxious by the time he went up stairs. Her car was in the drive way. When he went upstairs he heard what sounded like a muffled whimper. He went into his boys' room and saw them each with their hands and feat bound and duct tape over their mouths.
Danny ran to his boys and untied them quickly. He hugged them and said,"What happened?"
Jack looked to his father and said,"A man came into the house and tied us up,and took mom. He left a note on the dresser."
Danny,
You took my wife
Now I have yours
If you were a better husband you would have been home to protect
Her
Sincerely the man who has your wife
"Dad,"Jack said,"what does it say?"
Danny was going to tell them a complete lie,but his boys had been left at the mercy of this maniac and they deserved to know why.
"Boys,the man who has your mom is mad at me because he says I took his wife."
"But you're gonna get him right?" Sean said.
"Yeah,but first I want to take you to Grandpa's house so I know you're safe."
