CHAPTER 10
"I can't believe you told Philip about the time we were together. God, he probably thinks Jane is yours," I said to Martinez.
"That kid couldn't be mine. Looks just like Philip and you. Besides I did it to save your ass. I saw Michonne in here," Martinez sneers.
I put down the books I was carrying and look into his brown eyes.
"You aren't going to say anything about this to Philip are you?"
"Shit no. He will snap. And I need this place. I have a family now. You need to tell your friends from the prison to stick to the agreement," he says harshly.
"God knows I can't control Michonne," I said looking at the ground.
"Make it clear to her that you are with us now," he warns me.
"I have. Everyone else has accepted it. Just Michonne wants me to come back. Says I am in danger here," I whispered.
"Philip adores you. He never hurt you," Martinez replies as the school children come into the classroom.
He never hurt me, but he would hurt others. I knew this to be true. And perhaps if I displeased him enough he would hurt me too, I thought.
"I have to start class," I told Martinez walking away.
He nods, knowing that he has to keep my visit with Michonne a secret. Somehow we had to keep everything together. If I could make it through the next few days without anyone saying anything. Hopefully no one else saw Michonne. After what seem like forever the day was over and was back home with my family. Philip made no mentions of her visit, and I decided I was in the clear. I didn't know I would wake up to a nightmare.
CHAPTER 11
I woke up safe in Philip's arms. I decide I would make him breakfast this time. Seeing as he always joked me about my cooking. Slowly I get out of bed, and walk over to Jane's crib. I look down to see it is empty. My daughter is gone.
I walk over to Philip to see if she is in his arms. But she isn't. Suddenly my heart drops. Who would take an innocent baby away from its mother? How could I have not heard them in our apartment?
"She is gone," I screamed loudly. My head was spinning. I felt like my whole world was falling apart. I hadn't felt this hopeless since Amy died.
Philip gets up from bed and rushes to my side. Tears are rolling down my face now.
"She is gone?" He asks panicking.
"Yes. Someone has taken her," I cried.
"It's okay. I am going to find our daughter alive. I promise you," he says taking me into his arms. I cry into his shoulder with a million questions running through my mind.
Could someone came over to kill our little girl? Because of something Philip had done? Would someone take her for ransom? Was she with Sasha or Rowan by some innocent mistake.
"I am going with you," I said taking his hand.
"No, I want you to stay here. You'll be safer," he says.
"This is not a question," I said forcefully.
His blue eyes look into mine and I know he understands I am serious.
"Okay Andrea," he mutters finally.
We walk together looking in every house in Woodbury. Then suddenly it hits me. I have an idea on who might have taken her.
