Catherine shouted, "EVAN! WHERE WERE YOU?! I've been calling you all day and night. I've been WORRIED something happened to you. Why didn't you ANSWER your phone?" she shoved Evan a little, causing him to stumble a little. Everyone in the foyer turned their head and stared at Catherine and Evan.

"Cat..keep your voice down, they are looking at us. Let's go to our room and talk about it, ok? Evan begged.

Catherine looked around and rolled her eyes, "Fine, just go!"

Evan and Catherine got into the elevator and went up to their room. Evan inserted the card key into the door lock and opened the door.

"After you." Evan said as he held the door open.

Catherine stode in past him and the bed. She turned around and looked at him, her arms crossed across her chest.

"Well? I'm waiting" She said impatiently as she tapped her foot on the floor.

Evan moved closer to her. "Cat, let me explain..just listen to me, I know you have the right to be angry at me, but something happened to me. You might want to sit down."

Catherine sighed and sat down on the bed.

"Um..I was kidnapped." Evan said.

"What?! What are you talking about?" Catherine said shocked.

"Yeah..I was just minding my business and walked..all of the sudden, they jumped on me and put a bag over my head, and took me somewhere then threw me in a room and locked me in. I was trapped all day without a phone. I've been struggling to get out alive, I don't know how long I've been in that secluded room...and the strange thing was that I heard something clicked behind the door, something tells me that they want me to escape, so I took the chance and I finally escaped. I was surrounded by the places that I was not familiar with..I took the cab to go to the hotel to find you. That's why I came and found you." Evan explained.

Evan had a scared face, "I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you, and I'm just lucky that I wasn't hurt or anything.

Catherine gasped.

"Oh my God, I'm just happy that you are OK! I understand, but what did they want with you? And why would they let you go? That doesn't make sense at all. I mean they would want ransom money or something. Are you being honest with me? Since I'm a cop and can smell trouble."

"How would I know? They haven't said a word! I guess they wanted something, but no. Yes I'm being honest..you think I'm making up? I mean I was kidnapped! How could you think that way? Please don't think as a cop! just as my wife!" Evan muttered.

"Evan! I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you..I just..umm..sorry just forget everything I said, I just couldn't help myself. I'm a concerned wife, but also a cop. understood? Catherine said.

Evan nodded as Catherine ran to him and hugged him and he evilly smirked to himself! Evan was tired, so he went to bed.

Catherine's POV

My husband is a medical examiner at the precinct where I work. I'm a detective. We have been married for a year. Before Evan and I went on their vacation, Evan drew up paperwork for me to sign. Evan handed me papers to read before signing.

I nervously asked, "what's that?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious. Some informations about our taxes that my HR wanted to clear it up and to be sure everything goes smoothly with no problems." Evan said.

"Oh ok." I nodded as I signed the papers and gave back to Evan.

Evan went to the post office to mail the package. Then he came back home and helped me pack for our vacation. When the suitcases were all packed and ready, Evan and I are officially on our vacation for three weeks. I wanted to do something fun with him, but he didn't want to. He avoided me as much as he could. Evan told me that he is going out for a walk.

I said, "Let me go with you, wait up."

Evan turned around and faced me, "Honey, That's a nice thought, but I prefer to go alone. Is that ok?"

I had a perplexed face, "what? I don't understand..I mean we're on vacation. We're supposed to be together and now you want to be alone?"

Evan shrugged, "Just for now...I promise we'll get together." He kissed on my cheek and walked out of the hotel room.

I thought that it was supposed to be our vacation, why would Evan want to be alone? What's going on? Stop, Catherine, he'll be back and we'll get together as he promised. Now, what am I going to do around here? I guess I could go to the beach and enjoy.

I strolled on the beach and I looked around in awe. The beach and the waves were beautiful. The air was fresh.

I was still waiting for Evan when I bumped into that man on the beach. That's how I met Vincent.

Vincent paced back and forth impatiently, waiting and worrying.

"Where are you, Alex?" He checked his phone every five minutes.

Vincent heard some noise coming from the door and ran to the door as Alex opened the door.

"Alex!" Vincent yelled "Where were you? I was getting worried."

Alex jumped, startled by his tone. "Vince! You scared me!"

"Do you want to tell me where you were?" Vincent demanded.

"Vince, calm down...I'm fine...I'm here." Alex said quietly.

"Me? calm down?! I've been CALLING you! I was worried and don't tell me to calm down!" Vincent shouted as he ran his fingers through his hair.

Alex held her arms up, "I'm sorry I made you worry, but I think you're overreacting...no big deal! I was in spa, all right?"

"What...I'm overreacting?! You didn't answer my call! Wait..you were in spa? I thought you were going out for shopping and you didn't say you were going to spa?" Vincent said.

"Oh yeah..I just saw my old friend from college and we caught up news then we had a lunch and she asked if I could join her for a spa. I said yes. I guess I lost track of time. I'm sorry I should have called." Alex said.

Vincent rolled his eyes and shook his head. He signed, "You should have, but that's okay. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'm just glad that you're okay….so who was your friend?"

Alex's eyes widen and cleared her throat, "oh that was Emma. I havent seen her in awhile. She half smiled nervously.

"Oh do I know her?" Vincent asked. He walked over to her, held his hands out to her and tried to hug her.

Alex stepped back and brushed off his hands, "I don't think you do. Oh well..I'm so exhausted, I better get ready for bed, so good night, sweetie."

She rushed off to the bathroom to change into her pajamas and brushed her teeth. Then she was in bed.

Vincent scoffed and shrugged, "What?... did I miss something? What just happened?"

He dashed to her, "Alex?!" but she was already in bed sleeping. He bowed his head down, shook, and sighed.

Vincent's POV

Alex and I have been together for six months. I met her at the hospital where I work. I'm a doctor and Alex is a nurse. We got to know each other before dating. We live in two-bedroom apartment. We have prepared our vacation, that we deserved. We needed to spend some time together because we have worked overtime, many hours and never had time for each other. We finally are on our vacation. The strange thing is that I told Alex we could go out to dinner and maybe a dance tonight, but Alex came up with an excuse that she needed to run an errand first.

"What errand?" I asked in puzzlement.

"Oh it wouldn't be surprise if I told you." Alex smirked.

"Ah ok." I sighed.

Alex ran out of the hotel room and waved to me. I sighed and decided to go and take a stroll on the beach. That's how I met Catherine.

The next day!

Vincent woke up to see Alex gone and got up from the bed. He called her name out, but no answer. He looked around and saw a note on the table. He went to the table to pick it up and read it.

Vincent, Out to have breakfast with Emma. Alex

Vincent tilted his head back, groaned, and crumpled the paper up and threw it down on the floor in frustration. He went to the bathroom and took a shower. He got dressed and then went out to the beach. The walk calmed him down.

He mumbled, "Why, Alex? You went off without me when we're on our freaking vacation. What's going on Alex?

He laid down on the lounge chair with his hands behind his head and looked in the sky and drifted off.

Catherine called the room service for breakfast. Evan walked out of the bathroom and got dressed.

"I better get going and will be right back, ok?" Evan said.

"Wait...what about breakfast? Where are you going? We're supposed to get together today." Catherine said.

"Oh, I'm not that hungry… a surprise errand for you, ok? I promise we'll be together." Evan grinned.

"Oh really..ok I guess...see you later." Catherine said in disappointment.

Evan waved goodbye to her and left the room. Catherine went to the bathroom and took a shower. She got dressed and went out. She wandered and looked around the nice stores near the beach. Then she went back to the beach. She furiously brushed off the sand with her foot. She walked and stopped in her track when she saw Vincent laying on the lounge chair sleeping.

She giggled as she slowly tiptoed over to him, knelt on the sand next to Vincent. She flicked his nose with her finger, causing him wiggling his nose then she continued to do that until he finally blinked his eyes and looked up at Catherine smiling.

"Catherine! Hey..what are you doing?" Vincent said excitedly.

"Oh, I just needed to get out and enjoy myself again. What about you? It's good to see you." Catherine smiled.

Vincent shook his head and sighed, "Well, I was supposed to be with my girlfriend, but I guess not. I mean she ran off without me and left me a note. I got mad, so I needed to get air and came here."

"What...she left you?" Catherine groaned.

"No, you misunderstood...she went off with her friend for breakfast. That's what the note said. I'm sorry I misunderstood you." Vincent gasped.

Catherine put her hand on her chest and sighed, "Oh I thought she left you..sorry to hear that."

"That's okay..umm..where is your husband?"

"Oh he went out for some surprise errands for me." Catherine grinned, "We are at it again!"

Vincent threw his head back and laughed.

"That's true! Here we are again! Now what are we going to do while we are waiting for them? The last time we were here, where was he?"

Tears trailed down on her cheeks. "It was terrible, Vincent. He was kidnapped, but he's fine. That's why he couldn't contact me. I am relieved that he's alright and unhurt."

Vincent looked at her and wiped away her tear with his thumb and said, "Jeez, he was kidnapped? They let him go without getting hurt, right? Thank God, he's alright and back in one piece. Um..he went out this morning right after what happened to him? I mean he was traumatized? Well, you don't know, but I'm a doctor...I should take a look at your husband to make sure nothing wrong."

"Oh, you're a doctor! Good to know, Dr. Keller! No, he doesn't need a doctor because he seems fine to me. Thanks for the offer, but I will take up to that, alright. And..um..I'm a detective." Catherine giggled.

"Ooohh Detective Chandler-Marks! I'm scared! I surrender!" Vincent laughed.

"Hahaha very funny!...And where was your girlfriend then?

"Oh, she was with her old friend from college and they caught up news then went to spa. She lost track of time and forgot to call me." Vincent shrugged his shoulders, "Can I ask you something?"

"Oh that's where she was. Sure ask away." Catherine curiously nodded.

"Well, do you feel something between us? I mean we almost kissed right here..I don't want to make you uncomfortable, but do you?" Vincent asked politely.

Catherine nervously froze and was shocked to hear him, "Umm, yes I do, but I'm married. I have to go and he's waiting for me at hotel. Before I go, can I have your phone? Just in case for emergency."

"Oh right, you're married. I didn't mean to. it was stupid. Forget it, ok? Sure, give me your phone and will put my numbers in your contact." Vincent half smiled as Catherine handed her phone to him and he punched the numbers in her contacts and gave it back to her.

"Thanks, Vincent! And I'll see you around, ok?" Catherine smiled as Vincent nodded and waved goodbye.

Catherine stood up and turned around. She smilingly walked back to her hotel and her smile soon turned into frown when she saw something between the trees in the park and sneaked up behind the bush to take a peek. She gasped as her jaw dropped and her eyes were wider. She stood up and stumbled back then ran as fast as she could and didn't see where she was going, bumping into Vincent. Vincent caught her before she fell down. She looked up at him and broke into tears as she quickly hugged him and leaned her head on his shoulder and cried. Vincent caressed her and stroked her hair then pulled her back and looked at her and tears filled up into her eyes, "Oh my god, what happened?"
