Chapter 35

Kala woke to Wolfgang's soft snoring in her ear on top of the covers that she was still nestled in with his arm draped possessively around her waist. The sun was getting lower in the sky and was shining directly in her eyes which had woken her up. Slipping carefully out from under his arm and out of the bed she shivered slightly as the wind kissed her bare skin. The weather was fine for shorts and a shirt, but not quite warm enough for being naked. She turned before tip toeing out of the room and looked at Wolfgang's sleeping form with a smile.

He hadn't been sleeping well for the last while and she decided to let him sleep while she went and made some food. She stopped briefly in the master bathroom to dress and pulled hair back in a pony tail before padding bare foot down the stairs that overlooked the living area. She hummed softly to herself as she walked into the kitchen looking into the fridge for inspiration. Deciding on making her father's Biryani recipe, she gathered what she needed over to the marble island to prep. Although her father insisted that she get an education, she had still helped many hours in the kitchen cutting, and measuring spices exactly, which is why her father always said she when into science. As she prepped she decided to make a quick Saag Paneer as well before she realized she didn't have the right ingredients.

One of the reasons she liked the location of this house was because that was a market only a couple blocks away that had a great variety of items. She tossed her prepped foods in bowls quickly covering them and trotted over to the door grabbing her purse, then stopping short. Turning back to the island she grabbed a note pad and left a quick message just in case Wolfgang woke before she was running to the market. She propped the note up on the prepped bowls, turned and slipped out the door.

The sun was still quite warm in the cloudless sky as she walked down the wide sidewalk towards the market. Their street was quite busy in the tightly packed neighbourhood as there were many single homes, split rental units and coordinating businesses. She had been to the market quite a few times in the last few days getting a base of supplies for the house and found the break and walk very pleasant from being cooped up in the hotel room. Rounding the last corner she walked between two larger buildings she cut through a walking path that lead to a smaller entrance of the market. One of the vendors had showed her the entry so she hadn't had to carry her larger packages the full length of the market to the front entrance.

She walked through the different vendors stopping occasionally to look at random items while making her way to the specific vendor that she wanted. Once there she selected the Paneer that was her favorite and a few large bunches of spinach she wandered the isles to see it there was anything else that caught her eye. Making her way to the till she paid and left for home, hoping Wolfgang wasn't awake yet.

Slipping out the back door of the market she made her way back the same way she came between two of the larger buildings. As she passed one of the smaller drive ways for the underground parking garages two large men appeared suddenly at her side. She had no time to react as she briefly caught a quick movement at the side of her vision from one of the men and then was struck across the back of the head, falling in a heap unconscious into the other man's arms. A hood was hastily placed over her head and she was carried quickly into the parking garage and a waiting van with the only evidence of her abduction being the spilt bag of groceries left in the alley.

Wolfgang rolled over, reaching for Kala to find the bed empty ad sheets cold. He sat up looking around the room, noticing that her clothes were picked up off the floor. Stretching, he got up out of bed, padded over to his discarded clothes and pulled on his briefs before walking to the stairs. He listened for signs that she was around, but couldn't hear anything and didn't feel her usual presence tugging at the back of his mind. "Kala?" he voiced as he reached the edge of the stairs overlooking the common area. He hurried down the stairs and out to the courtyard looking over to the pool, "Kala? You here?" to no response.

He walked back into the main area and saw prep bowls and a note on the island in her familiar delicate scrawl.

I ran to the market for a few things. I will be back shortly. K

He closed his eyes and reached for her in his mind wanting to ask her to pick up some wine to go with supper while she was there but found a gaping nothingness. His eyes flew open and he sprinted upstairs for the rest of his clothes while he connected instantly with Will.

Will sat up in his bed with Riley beside him as they hadn't left the bed since their coupling. "What's wrong?!" Will said catching the panic in Wolfgang as he ran passed the foot of the bed.

Will was sitting in Wolfgang and Kala's bed, Riley beside as Wolfgang entered the room, grabbing his clothes and hastily getting dressed. "I don't know. I was asleep and went down to a note saying she went to the market, but I can't feel her. I tried but there's nothing." And he was rushing back down the stairs with the rest of the cluster shortly behind him. "Can anyone feel her?" he asked over his shoulder as he grabbed his keys and flew out the front door.

There was a chorus of "No's" he jogged down the street on the normal route she went to the market. Nomi was beside him immediately obviously on her computer. "Do you have her Nom?"

"I don't see her on any of the security feeds so far, but there are 38 camera feeds to go through." she replied squinting at the screen keeping her focus fixed on it's purpose.

Wolfgang had rounded the last corner going into the front entrance of the market scanning left and right as he slowed his pace. He knew the store she liked to shop at was about half way into the building but he looked in each shop regardless knowing her enjoyment over stopping for other ingredients at other places.

"Got her!" Nomi stated causing Wolfgang to stop in his tracks.

"Where?" he said closing his eye and reaching out mentally for her again and finding nothing. "Nomi, I can't feel her!" he said feeling his panic rising.

"It's from a feed 30 minutes ago." Nomi said apologetically, "I am tracking her movements right now though the market."

Wolfgang renewed his searching and arrived at the grocery store she liked the best, flitting from isle to isle looking for her. "Nomi?" Wolfgang said in a growl.

"Out a back door...I have you on the cameras, go to your left out the store to about 100 meters. There is a backdoor entrance I have her going out 45 minutes ago." She responded choosing to ignore his tone due to the situation.

Wolfgang jogged, dogging people as he ran for the door, feeling his throat tightening as he became more panicked with each passing minute. He banged through the doors ignoring the turning of heads as he came out the other side at full speed.

"Dammit!" Nomi cursed standing beside him as he scanned the length of the alley. "This damn alley Is blind. Since when does a European country have a fucking blind alley?!" she spat out in frustration.

Wolfgang trotted down the alley cautiously till he spied a grocery bag on the ground, contents spilled out. "There!" he said and sprinted off to the spot where it lay. The spinach and paneer were spread out as if they had been driven over. Off against the wall was her purse, contents strewn along the base of the wall including the emergency burner phone that was completely shattered. "FUCK!" He swore, hands in his hair looking both ways lost. "Nomi, you need to find her!" he choked out tears threatening to well up as the rest of the cluster gathered around him.

"I'm on it." Nomi replied just as emotional as the rest of them, turning back and focusing on her screen.

Wolfgang picked up her purse and walked to the end of the drive, slamming up his mental walls momentarily as he berated himself for not being with her. How did he let this happen? And he slammed his fist into the wall of the parking structure.
