Chapter: Chapter 158. The Real EnemyPhillipâs POVIt was quite late when I got to the beach. Throughout the drive I kept wondering if I was doing the right thing. The kidnapper had phoned me on my way down and asked me to meet him there. He had told me to turn off my handset, and leave it in the car, warning me not to try anything stupid. The way he spoke, I guessed he was somehow observing me. And on my way down I had a feeling that there was someone coming behind me. I pulled up in front of the rundown abandoned building on the edge of the beach that had once been a warehouse. I did everything I was told and stepped out of the car. The air was cold and damp. I could hear the waves and my heart raced as I walked towards the building. I touched an old wooden door and it opened. It was dark inside, but the moonlight streamed in. Everywhere was quiet.âHello!â I called out. The empty building echoed back at me.âAnyone here? Rebecca?ââPut your hands behind you!â A voice said quietly behind me.My heart skipped, but I o

"Put on your tie," she said."Okay mommy," he replied, his voice tiny, yet sweet to the ear earned a chuckle from her at his overjoyed response. With the tie on him, Ryland finally placed him down. "Mom, I want to talk to my sister," William piped up with a wide grin. "Of course, sweetie," Hazel responded, placing the toddlerâs hand on her tummy. "She moved!" Williams giggled in awe, earning bounds of laughter from his parents. "Yes baby. She likes you,â Hazel assured and his eye
