Chapter Two
Mrs. Benson POV
I was somewhere in the state of California, far from Lenard. He was back in Arizona, probably, getting mad and smashing things again. I had just cleaned that up, and I hated when he would com home and smash things. I would then have to clean the mess up, or he threatened me. I was smarter than that, and always did what he asked me to. I didn't want to be threatened. I then looked in the rearview mirror and looked at the sleeping baby in the back of the car. I was glad that we got out safe, but I knew that Leonard was going to hunt for me. I then looked over at an exit sign and had a feeling of safeness there.
Seattle, Washington
Leonard POV, Arizona
I stumbled into my apartment and was met by a man standing by the door.
"What the hell do you want?" I asked, getting my keys and opening the door.
"Um, is the Missus home?" the man asked.
"No, why?" I replied. I knew she was home, I just didn't want him to see her with all the cuts I put all over her.
"Just give her this." he handed me a folder that had a lot of papers in it.
"What is this?" I asked, looking through it.
"Marissa's intern paperwork. The doctor's office on 10th. She needs to be there Monday morning for a final interview, but I know that she will make the cut," the man said with a smile.
"Thank you. I will give this to her right away," I said, getting angry. When did she apply for a damn job? She was supposed to stay home and take care of that kid I didn't care much for and to make sure that there was dinner on the table for me when I got home from a long day at work. I told the guy good night and walked into the apartment and shut the door. I sat the folder of papers on the counter and stopped. Something wasn't right.
"MARISSA!" I yelled, I guess way to loud because the neighbors knocked on the wall and told me to shut up.
I walked around the apartment and the first thing that I realized was that the screaming little kid wasn't here. Neither was his play pen. Maybe she took him out for a bit. I then went to the bedroom to see if maybe she feel asleep with the kid. When I opened the door, she was no where in sight. I was getting angrier. I punched a hole in the wall and then I went to the lobby and stood at the front desk.
"Yes, can I help you?" he asked.
"Has my wife, she has a kid with her, walk through here at all today?" I asked, out of breath.
"Yeah she did, something about grocery shopping," he replied.
"Thanks," I said, leaving the desk and dashing outside. I looked around and saw the store that I only allowed her to shop at. I walked in and looked around.
I walked the aisles, and realized that she wasn't in the store. I asked the only clerk is he had seen her, and he told me not since last week. I frowned. Then where the hell could she be?
I decided to do a little street hunting, maybe she went for a walk. I ran into the garage and realized that her car was gone. I scratched my head. That car was never to be used. I walked back into the lobby and asked the doorman to show me the Surveillance tapes. He took me back to the back room and pressed play. I saw me leave the building after I attacked he. Then I saw it. Marissa ran out of the building several times with suitcases and then one final time with the baby. I saw her strap him in and then get in herself and drive away. I thanked the doorman, and went back to my apartment.
I walked in and smashed dished, and broke almost every picture that I let Marissa put out. I then went to the closet, to where I know she had a box hidden from me. When I opened the box it was empty. Though she had a note.
Leonard-
I took Freddie and the extra car and left. I know you hate me and everything, but my body cant take any more injuries. So I left. I disconnected the GPS and threw y cell phone out the window. -Marissa.
I grumbled and then saw a left over suitcase. I grabbed some cloths and though of four words.
I WILL find her.
