Chapter 6
Back at the beach house all four congregated around the polished table in Mark's living room, Amanda occasionally sniffing, trying to hold back the tears, whilst Mark thought through his idea.
Jesse spoke first," So Mark, what do you think is going on? Do you really think it's an act of revenge?"
Mark thought before he replied, " I pretty sure, why else would they leave so many clues?"
" I hate to put a dampener on things dad, what if they are just clumsy criminals and they didn't leave the clues behind on purpose. That has happened before."
" I know, but I've got a gut feeling about this one."
Amanda turned her attention to Mark and looked into his crystal blue eyes, " I hope your gut feeling is reliable. That way we know how to handle these lunatics."
" I know a good way to handle them."
" How Jess?" Steve inquired, knowing sometime his ideas were slightly unusual, actually, scratch that, very unusual. But, somehow, they near enough always worked.
" We could go to the address of the car one of us could pose as a gas man or something, then the rest of us could go and investigate round the back of the house and asses the situation."
" One problem Jess"
" What? My plan is perfect, it couldn't fail."
" Yes it could, the address given is a apartment in a block of flats"
Jesse interrupted, " It would still work, we could look through the windows."
" The apartment is on the third floor."
" Oh."
" So what are we going to do? I must get CJ and Dion back."
"I know Amanda, we'll think of something" Mark reassured her.
Then the phone rang - a noise that would change the course of the following events. Steve picked it up.
" Hello, Sloan residence."
" The kids are safe for now, but they won't be for much longer unless you go to the pathology lab in Community General, you will find what you looking for there.
" Wait." the phone went dead.
" Who was it Steve, was it a wrong number?"
" No, not a wrong number, it was the kidnappers, they said we had to go to your path lab Amanda. They also said we would find what we want there."
Amanda sat stunned, thoughts running through her mind, worst of all, the thought that her children could be dead. Steve noticed the shocked look on her face,
" Oh God Amanda, I didn't mean that, oh God, I have made a mess of this. I meant there would be instructions, not, well, not."
" CJ and Dion."
" Yes."
Mark took his chance and pulled them out from their downhill conversation" Well then, what are we waiting for lets go."
With that all four stood up and headed towards there cars. All thinking the same thing,
What will we find?
