Chapter 2

It was a great day to wake up to. The sun was shining, everything was great. Johnny smiled like a little child on Christmas when he stepped out of his apartment and went to get to his post office box. He remembered the moment, when Carmen and he kissed. Her soft lips on his. It was a shy kiss, not so rough like he had with some women before her. He knew that Carmen wasn't such a woman, even though he once dreamed about her being a little bit more rough. So they kissed and she asked him if he was free for the weekend, because in this week she had some things to do and wouldn't have so much time. Johnny couldn't wait until Friday.

Now he stood in front of his post office box and opened it. There were some letters from people he didn't care about, so he just threw them aside. So that in the end he had only three letters left. Johnny closed the post office box again and went back to his apartment. He put the letters onto the table and sat down. The first two were from his friends, looked like they were somewhere else having fun. But the third one was different. Johnny took it and looked at it. It had no address or anything else written on it, but his name, Johnny. He ripped the letter open, took out the paper, unfolded it and started reading.

Hello Johnny,

I hope you're doing well right now, because what I am about to tell you, might ruin your great day.

„What?" Johnny looked at the envelope again, but there was still no address or a name from whom this letter could have been.

I have something or let's say rather someone…and I think this person is very close to you and you don't want anything to happen to her. Right?

Johnny swallowed hard.

Come to the abandoned camps at midnight tonight, where you can pick her up again.

Yours sincerely

D.L.

Johnny looked at the paper he was holing in his hands. He read it through again, not really buying what it was telling him. But when he read the lines again that he took her he stood up so fast, so that the chair he was sitting on fall back. He ran outside, not bothering that he left is apartment door wide open.

Johnny kept knocking on the door until it opened, but not by the person he was hoping for.

„Sensei? What's wrong?" Miguel looked like he just came out of bed. Johnny new that his student had summer break, and Miguel would often sleep until it was midday.

„Have you seen your mother today?" He asked this question even though he already knew the answer.

Miguel shook his head. „No, why?"

With the letter still in his hand, he looked at Miguel and decided to not tell him that his mother might have been kidnapped. „Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you know where she is?"

„Yeah she's at work at the hospital."

„Thank you." Johnny ran almost to his car, got in, started the engine and drew of the hospital. Carmen had told him which hospital it was.


With screeching tires he came to a stop in one of the parking lots and got out. With quick steps he ran to the entrance, opened the door and then on to the reception.

„Excuse me, but is Carmen Diaz here?" he asked.

The woman behind the counter looked at him oddly, but then picked up the phone and dialed a number. „Carmen? Yes, there's someone down here who wants to talk to you." She looked at him and asked „What is your name?"

„Johnny Lawrence."

„He says his name is Johnny Lawrence. Okay, I'll tell him." Then she put the receiver back in its previous place. „She'll be right there," she said with a brief smile.

„Thank you very much."

Johnny stood by the wall while he waited and watched the people. He even saw some teenagers who looked like they had a fight.

Loosers, he thought at the sight of them. Can't even defend themselves. Why don't they just come to me and the cobras?

„Johnny?" A warm voice pulled him out of his thoughts. He looked in the direction from which he had heard the voice, and saw Carmen approaching him with a puzzled look. When she was standing in front of him, Johnny hugged her as if he really needed to know that she was there. Still confused by his sudden appearance, Carmen returned the hug.
„What's up Johnny? I thought I told you I had a lot to do."

„I just wanted to be sure you were fine" Johnny replied worriedly. „Are you all right?"

Carmen smiled. She found it really cute and admirable how her boyfriend cared for her. Very different from her ex-husband. „Yes, I am alright."

Johnny nodded, his mind racing. „Okay, good. That's good."

She saw that something was still bothering him. „But you don't look like you're okay. Would you like to tell me what's going on?"

Johnny took a deep breath. How should he tell her? „Um...I know it may sound crazy, but...but I got a letter this morning…"

He took it out of his pocket and gave it to Carmen. When she read the lines, her eyes widened.

„Do you know who wrote it?" she asked. Hard to miss the fear in her voice.

„No, but I'll find out. How about you coming home with me? Miguel is there too and he could take care of you as long as I find out who wrote this letter."

To his disappointment, Carmen shook her head. „I'm sorry, Johnny, but the hospital is currently understaffed because many sisters are sick and can't get to work. They need me here."

Johnny sighed and hugged her again. „Alright, but please promise me that you are careful. Go home with colleagues and if there is none left, call me and I'll get you, okay?"

„I promise" Carmen said as they looked at each other again. „But now I really have to get back to work."

„Yes of course." Johnny gave her a quick kiss on the forehead and left the hospital.
