Chapter 22
"Oh my God!" Phyllis screamed.
Everyone throughout the whole house heard her scream. They all ran to the kitchen where Phyllis was. They gasped at the sight they saw.
"Kay!" Sam screamed.
"Daddy!" She screamed before her mouth was covered.
"Please leave her alone." Sam begged.
"No!" The man snapped back at Sam. Then he took out a gun and placed it against Kay's head. "Don't piss me off or I'll hurt her."
"We'll give you anything you want, just leave her alone." Ivy said shaking nervously.
"Oh no we won't!" Julian said worrying about his money.
"I want her, not your money!" The man said promptly.
"No! I won't let you take her from me!" Miguel screamed as he leaped forward only to be knocked out cold.
"Mijo!" Pilar said. She wanted to ran to Miguel, but Ethan held her back.
"Dad, do something!" Jessica cried.
"I can't. He'll hurt Kay." Sam said trying to come up with a plan.
"Oh Sam!" Ivy cried out. "Save her. I know you can."
"Now I'm going to leave and if anyone follows me or if you call the cops, she won't be alive. I guarantee it."
Then man ran out with Kay as fast as he could. He got into a blue pick up truck that didn't have any license plates.
Sam and Ethan got into their cars and drove after that man. Pilar ran to Miguel and got him to wake up. Fox called Luis to tell him what happened. They needed all the help they could get. Fox called the cops and let them know their predicament. The two officers would later come and tap their phone line.
Sam and Ethan were finally catching up to the pick up, when all of the sudden the pick up takes a sharp turn and disappears. Sam and Ethan continue to search for the rest of the day. They decided to stop when it got dark. They figured that they could do more good in the daylight. They went back to the mansion to find everyone still in shock.
"Umm...we couldn't find Kay. We are going to continue to search for her tomorrow." Ethan said sadly.
"No! I have to find her now." Miguel said getting up, but Pilar holding him back.
"I can't let you do that, Miguel." Sam said in tears. "We need light to help our search. Try to get some sleep and we can go out and look for her when the sun rises."
"Please, Mijo. Listen to Sam."
"Okay, Mama."
"I'll get some ice for your lip." Phyllis said.
"Thanks. We have to find her." Very determined he said.
"We will." Luis said.
"I'll make a few calls to some of my friends." Fox said trying to help.
"Thanks I appreciate it." Sam said.
"Sam, come and rest. You have to search tomorrow and you need all of your strength." Ivy said.
"Your right. Goodnight everyone." He walked up to Jessica and hugged her. "Don't worry, Kay will be alright. I promise you."
"I love you, dad."
"I love you too! Go and get some rest yourself."
"Okay. I will."
"Luis, why don't you go on home. Beth needs you." Pilar said.
"I'm not going home. I need to be here." He said.
"Luis, please go home."
"No, Mama." He said stubbornly.
"Luis, please. What if Beth needs you?"
"She'll be alright."
"Luis, she's your wife and she's carrying your child so go home to her. I'll call you if anything new happens."
"Okay. I love you."
"Love you too."
Phyllis came in then with some ice.
"Here you go, Miguel."
"Thanks, Phyllis." He said taking the ice bag away from her.
"No problem. Do you need anything else before I go turn in?" Phyllis asked.
"No." Pilar said.
Miguel shook his head no and Ethan said, "Goodnight, Phyllis."
"Miguel, go rest. You need your rest to if your going to look for Kay tomorrow."
"Okay, Mama. Goodnight, Mama, Ethan."
"Goodnight." Ethan and Pilar said.
Pilar yawned and said, "Oh I'm so tired. You know I remember when I grew up in school if we yawned we had to write out 50x I will not yawn in class because it is a sign a disrespect."
"Really?" Ethan asked.
"Oh yes. Things were much different back then. Well, I'm going to turn in myself. Goodnight, dear."
"Night, Pilar."
Ethan stood downstairs recalling the events of that night.
"Wow!" He said. "I guess I might as well go to sleep. I have to be up early. Hey Theresa wasn't down here when Kay was kidnapped. I wonder if she knows?" He asked himself. "I'll go talk to her.
He walked up to Theresa's room and knocked.
"Knock, knock!"
He didn't hear an answer so he just walked in because the door was unlocked. He looked around and didn't see Theresa. He noticed that the bathroom door was closed so maybe Theresa was in there. He knocked on there and called out, "Theresa! Are you in there?"
Theresa was getting out of the closet when she heard Ethan.
"How did he get in here?" She asked herself. "Fox must have left the door unlocked. He can't see me like this.
Ethan call again, "Theresa!"
"Yes, Ethan?"
"Theresa, you should come out here. I need to talk to you about something that happened tonight."
"Well, I can't come out. I just took a shower."
"Well, I'll wait because I'd rather say it face to face."
"Okay." She said giving in. How would she cover her face though? "Ah ha!" She said getting an idea. She pulled out her make up bag and took out a tube. It was a mud mask that she had. It would cover up her bruises so Ethan wouldn't think anything.
"Be out in a minute!" She called out to him.
"Okay." He said taking a seat on her bed.
Theresa walked out in a pink night gown with a towel on her head and her face covered in the mud mask.
"Is that a ghost or Theresa?" Ethan asked joking around.
"Very funny. Ha ha." She said.
"Sorry. Just trying to make you smile."
"It's okay." She said wondering if he could tell any of her bruises. "So what did you need to talk about?"
"Well, tonight Kay was kidnapped."
"Very funny, Ethan. You shouldn't joke about such a thing." She expected to see a smile on his face, but instead she saw pain and tears in his eyes. "Oh my! I'm so sorry, Ethan. I thought it was a joke."
"I wish."
"Well, do you know where she is?"
"No, and I'm afraid that we won't find her." He confided in her.
"You will." She assured him. "How is Miguel?"
"Well he's heartbroken. Going crazy."
"Poor Miguel."
"He was knocked out by the kidnapper. He tried to save Kay and....well he got punched."
"Oh Miguel! He's okay though. Right?"
"Oh yeah! Maybe he will have a fat lip, but that's about it."
"Okay, good." She sighed. "I feel so sorry for Kay."
"I do to, but Theresa have you been feeling okay?"
"Yes, why?"
"Well, Whitney said that you might be sick. Are you?"
"No." She laughed. "I just need time to relax."
Ethan believed her.
"Well, I'm going to bed now. I have to get up early and help search for Kay with he others."
"Goodnight, Ethan."
"Night, Theresa."
Ethan was walking to the door when he felt Theresa pull him.
"Be careful." She whispered.
"Don't worry about me." He told her as he walked out of her room."
As much as Miguel tried to sleep during the night, he just couldn't. Kay was on his mind. He kept think is she okay? Is she warm? Are they hurting her? To try and calm down a bit he put on one of his favorite songs that made him think about Kay.
Song begins:
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
thinking of me too
Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Wonder if you ever see me and I
wonder if you know I'm there (am I there, am I?)
If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside
would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close but so far
all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day (wait for the day)
to take the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Corazon
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
Como te necesito
Mi amor, como te extrano
(translation:
Sweetheart
I can't stop thinking of you
How I need you
My love, how I miss you)
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
that you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too
Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow (till tomorrow) and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room
Dreaming with you endlessly
Song ends:
"Kay, I'll be dreaming of you tonight." He said to himself as he drifted off to sleep.
"Oh my God!" Phyllis screamed.
