Ch.33
Fox rocked back and forth on the cold hard floor, cradling his wife's body in his arms. He wouldn't except that she was really gone.
"I was supposed to protect you," he said stroking her cheek. "I was supposed to be there for you…"
Sobs racked his body as he held her close.
"Teresa, please come back to me."
He looked down at her bloody face, almost unrecognizable.
"You're so beautiful," he whispered.
"And I need you so much…"
His sobs could be heard throughout the building.
Rebecca smiled gleefully as she heard them.
She turned to the men that stood behind her.
"You guys gave her the stuff right? The stuff that Alistair had sent?"
"Yea," the men answered.
"Good!" she said clapping her hands together. "Who would have thought that Alistair would be smart enough to event a drug that makes a person appears dead?"
"Wouldn't it be easier to just actually kill her?" one of the men spoke up.
"of course not silly," Rebecca said. "If everyone thinks she's dead, then no one will look for her anymore. And if no one looks for her, we can have some serious fun. Who knows how many years of torture we can create for out little Teresita?"
"But isn't Fox going to want to take her body back to harmony? Even if she really is alive, you can't torture her when she's not here."
"Alistair said he would take care of everything…all we had to do was give her the drug."
They paused and listened to Fox's sobs.
"Poor Fox," she said. "Maybe later I'll have to find a way to comfort him…" she went off into a daze, thinking of the possibilities.
Luis and Ethan were stunned. Ethan had barely spoken a word since Rebecca had left. Luis was busy trying to get his hands loose.
After hours of working on it, he finally did.
"Yes!" he exclaimed as he untied his hands.
"You did it!" Ethan exclaimed.
"Was there ever any doubt?" he asked, getting himself free and going to untie Ethan.
They stood up.
"We need to find Fox." Ethan said. "I wonder if he knows about Teresa…"
"Ethan, something isn't right in this whole equation…Teresa can't be dead."
"I don't want to believe it either Luis…"
"No its not that I don't believe it…it's just that it doesn't make sense. Why would they kill her? It seems to easy."
"Too easy?" Ethan questioned. "What do you mean?"
"Well think about it…"Luis began. "Rebecca hates Teresa with a passion…we all know this…so wouldn't it make more sense for Rebecca to want to torture her? Drag out her pain? I just can imagine Rebecca taking the easy route when it comes to my sister."
"Well then where can she be?"
Luis thought.
"I don't know…
"But we're going to find her."
Ethan smiled.
"I hope you're right Luis…I really do."
He smiled.
"So do I."
