Logan immediatly called the bank and had the money transfered. He didn't care about anything else but Veronica and their unborn children's safety. He hadn't even told Christopher and Natalie that their mommy was abducted. Instead he told them she was "shopping". An hour after the money was transferred successfully, there was a knock on the door. Instead of a someone, he looked down and saw an envelope with the initials L.E. He opened it immediatly and read it. It said,
Mr. Eccholls,
Now that the money has successfully been transferred, you may have your wife back. She is being held at a warehouse at 256 Willow Blvd. Hurry quickly because the warehouse is due to self-destruct in a half an hour.
"Daddy?" Christopher asked "Is mommy back yet?"
'No son. Uncle Duncan is going to be coming over while daddy goes to get mommy. Her car broke down, ok? Now go play nicely with Natalie."
Christopher nodded and rushed off to play with his Legos. Logan pulled out his cell phone to call Duncan.
"Hello?"
"Hey D.K, its Logan. Could you swing by and watch the kids for a half an hour? Thanks so much. Why?" Logan paused 'Well lets see, Veronica has been kidnapped by a pyscho-maniac andI only have a half an hour to save her, but hey nothing big' "No reason. Veronica's car has broken down and I have to go get her. Thanks D.K. See ya in a bit."
Logan waited for Duncan and when he got there, he sped off in his X-terra to 256 Willow Blvd. He quickly ran inside and saw that the warehouse was empty. The only thing that remained was another envelope. It read,
Whoops! Fooled ya didn't I? Your precious little wife is ok and so are your babies. Veronica only went into labor early so shes at Neptune Memorial. Ya better go get her!
Logan gulped and raced back to the X-Terra. He put the car into drive and sped quickly to Neptune Memorial Hospital, praying that Veronica and the twins were ok.
Fifteen minutes later, Logan was racing to the maternity ward praying Veronica was there.
"I need to find my wife! Her name is Veronica Eccholls!" he screamed frantically at the nurses station.
"Calm down, sir. I need to tell you something." a nurse responded trying to calm him down. "Your wife went into labor prematurely. We had to choose between saving her life or saving the babies' lives. We choose hers. I reto imform you that the twins are dead. It saddens me even more to imform you that Veronica is in a deep coma. We are unsure if she will come out of it or stay in a comatose state."
Logan faced dropped when he heard the words dead and comatose. He began shaking his head and sobbing uncontrollably. The bottom of his world had just caved in.
