Ch 71

The police refused to let Christina see Shane at first then finally first thing in the morning they led her into a room where Shane was waiting. He looked exhausted and frightened as the guard undid his cuffs.

"What the hell do you want?" Shane yelled at her.

"Knock it off or I'm going to cuff you again," the officer warned him sitting down in the corner.

"Shane, I had to come and make sure you're alright," Christina sat down staring at him with concern in her eyes.

"Why do you give a shit? Your husband is missing and I'm accused of trying to murder him so why don't you get the hell out of my sight. I want to go back to my cell," Shane motioned for the guard.

"Shane, I still care about you," Christina picked up her things. "I'm sorry I came."

"Wait if you care about me than start making this shit right," Shane stared at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Start making the wrong right. You have to stop being afraid and start doing right," Shane deeply sighed. "Christina, I know I have been unfair to you and if I drove you to this madness I'm sorry but what you have done to Lisa and Mark is insane. She is your sister and she has done nothing wrong. It's all in your head instead of being supportive and happy for her you're only worried about being jealous. Take a moment and look at how good your life was when you weren't like this a jealous bitch. Come back and see me when you have made amends."

"I will Shane," Christina leaned against the door trying to figure out what to do. She knew Shane was right about her being a jealous bitch but what could she do to make things right.


Lisa was packing up the girls getting ready to take them with her to the station to see Mark. Kelly was sitting on the bed playing with her toys laughing and giggling while Rose lay on her side watching her sister with wide eyes. Lisa sat down on the bed watching her girls realizing how lucky she was. She picked up Rose pulling her little socks back on that she had kicked off.

"You two ready to go see Daddy?" Lisa asked as Kelly immediately smiled.

"Daddy," Kelly cooed grabbing Mark's watch off the bed.

"I guess you are. Let's go see if Uncle Glen is ready," Lisa was about to pick Kelly up in her other arm when she heard a sickening thud from the living room. "Glen!" Lisa called out not hearing any response. She picked up Kelly heading into the other not seeing Glen. She slowly made her way towards the bathroom when Kelly started to cry.

"Kelly, its ok," Lisa tried to calm Kelly down. She was almost to the bathroom when a hand grabbed her from behind covering her mouth. She tried to breathe taking in a foul odor as everything went black around here.


Glen regained consciousness finding himself in the bathroom. He flung the door open racing through the hotel room searching for Lisa and the babies finding all their things were gone. He picked up the phone calling the police letting them know Lisa, Kelly and Rose have gone missing and he had been knocked out. The police told him to stay put till they arrived. Glen hung up the phone going over the room one more time looking for any clue. His eyes were drawn to the door as he bent down picking up one of Rose's little socks. He held it in his hand wondering how he was going to tell Mark he had let him down and his wife and children were gone without a trace.


Lisa came too feeling like she had been out for hours. The panic overtook her as she opened her eyes finding herself in an unfamiliar room with a bed and two cribs. She ran to the cribs breathing a sigh of relief finding Kelly and Rose both asleep in one of them. Lisa went to the door trying to open it finding it was locked.

"Damn it, let me out," she banged on the door.

"Quiet down, you're going to wake the kids," his voice sent fear coursing through her veins as she turned seeing Paul across the room.

"Are you surprised to see me angel? I guess you thought I was dead," Paul slowly came towards her grabbing a strand of her hair running it through his fingers, "I couldn't leave you and our little family like that." Lisa trembled violently as he stared down at her. "See angel you're mine now and I will raise those girls like my own. No one will ever find us. You're never going to see Mark again."


"Let me out of here now! I need to find my wife! I knew that bastard wasn't dead he took my wife and kids," Mark was livid pacing like a caged animal as the detective stayed back.

"I can't release you yet," the detective cautiously said making Mark pound the table.

"Yes, you can," Glen came into the room with the lawyer.

"Excuse me, don't tell me how to do my job," the detective snapped.

"The district attorney has dropped all charges since they found Paul's fingerprints in Mrs. Callaway's hotel room. Someone identified Paul driving away from the hotel early this morning," Mark's lawyer filled the detective in. "You should check with your staff more often. It will stop embarrassing situation like this. I want both of my clients released immediately."

"Fine, we will issue a warrant for Paul," the detective left the room with Mark's lawyer to get all the paperwork done for his release. Mark hit the desk again in frustration.

"Where in the hell could he have taken them?" Mark roared looking at clock realizing his wife had been gone for almost ten hours.

"Mark, we will find them. I'm just sorry Paul got them in the first place," Glen deeply sighed.

"Glen, stop apologizing. You tried your best to protect them," Mark didn't blame him at all for what happened. He knew first hand how sneaky Paul was. "Where could he have taken them?"

"I doubt he would take them to his house or apartment in Connecticut," Glen tried to think of any place as an idea came to his mind. "We have to go talk to Nash and Christina."

"Why?" Mark didn't want to see Christina and he never liked dealing with Nash.

"Christina married the bastard she might have some clue of his plans and Nash is the one that helped Paul get Adam, John and I out of the way," Glen could still feel the dull pain from the sneak attack by Nash.

"The problem is finding them now," Mark started to pace waiting for his lawyer to return. "I can't take this anymore I'm leaving now!" Mark went towards the door running straight into his lawyer and Shane.

"Just sign this and you can leave," the lawyer handed him a paper. Mark quickly signed storming out of the police station not listening to Shane and Glen calling him. He had to find his wife and children and nothing was going to stop him till he did.


Glen had no clue what to say to Mark as they drove back to the hotel hoping Christina was there. Shane knew better then to open his mouth as he sat in the back staring out the window. When they arrived at the hotel, Mark went directly to Christina's room.

"Open up Christina," Mark pounded on her door repeatedly till he finally heard the door unlock. Christina looked scared to death staring at the three men wondering what she had done now. "Where has your husband taken my wife and kids?"

"Taken them? What are you talking about? I thought Paul had an accident and was presumed dead," Christina gave him a confused terrified look.

"Paul is very much alive. Lisa, Kelly, and Rose are missing and without doubt he is behind it," Shane peered around Mark meeting Christina's eyes. He saw she was genuinely surprised at the news.

"Tell me where in the hell they are now!" Mark stared down at her making her tremble.

"I don't know where they are. I haven't seen Paul since the arena," Christina backed away not able to control her shaking. "I didn't know. I had no idea he would do something like this."

"Bullshit you knew you helped him set this whole mess up," Mark was livid as Glen held him back. "Shane, take Mark downstairs and find out what room Nash is in. I want to talk to Christina then I'll meet you two there."

"I'm not leaving till she tells me what I want to know," Mark tried to break free from Shane's grip.

"Mark, if she knows anything I'll find it out. Go take your anger out on Nash," Glen firmly said as Mark slowly backed away going with Shane.

"If anything happens to my wife and daughters I will be back Christina and I will hold you personally responsible," Mark gave her one last menacing stare before disappearing with Shane leaving Glen and Christina alone.

"Glen, I swear I didn't know Paul planned to kidnap them. All he told me was we were going to rile Mark and Lisa up some and make them miserable," Christina got tears in her eyes thinking of Kelly. "Oh God, he has my daughter." Christina started to shake more. "I'm never going to see her again."

"Christina, stop you will see her again but you need to help us. You need to tell us every place he ever took you to and anything you might have seen suspicious. You seem to be the closest to Paul and the only one who can help at the moment. Please put all your jealous hurtful ways aside and start thinking of your sister. That monster has your little sister. You have seen what he has done to her in the past. What if this time he takes it too far …."

"Stop Glen! I know what Paul is capable of," she turned her back to Glen lifting up her shirt showing Glen the bruises covering her back. Glen felt sick at the sight of them. "This is the price you pay for defying Paul. I know the harm he can do to my little sister."

"Christina, will you help us and promise me no more games? Just be straight and honest with me no matter how bad it is," Glen stared into her eyes as she shook her head yes.

"I will help and I swear no more lies. I will come clean with everything starting with you," Christina took a deep breathe telling Glen the real reason she had been doing all the evil things Paul asked her to do. Glen listened till she finished finally understanding what drove her to the insanity. When she broke down in tears at the end, he embraced her holding her closely.

"Christina, you just made a major step in setting things right. Now all you have to do is tell Mark and John what you just told me so they can help you," Glen looked down into her eyes seeing he had broken through her walls all her secrets had spilled. He gently guided her back into her room telling her to freshen up while he called John. John was hesitant to come meet them. He didn't want to hear anymore of Christina's lies. Finally after Glen getting pissed off John agreed to come. Glen hung up the phone as Christina came out of the bathroom looking very upset.

"Glen, I hope I can make this right. I don't expect anyone to forgive me but at least I can try to make this all better," Christina stopped at the mirror taking out the blue contacts wishing she had time to dye her hair back to her normal color. Every time she looked in the mirror she felt more and more like a snake for all she had done. Now this was her chance to make things right she just hoped it wasn't too late to save her little sister, niece, and daughter.
