Liam looked around to make sure no one was close by the house, before opening the door to Annette's apartment, the place was small unlike his apartment, it had a bed, a table, and a wardrobe, and there were plates and cups at one end, he felt like he was invading her privacy and let out a small sorry before searching for what he came to look for, first he checked the wardrobe but there was nothing there, checked under the bed, and all, still he couldn't find anything that looks like a diary, after searching the whole room for over an hour without finding anything he cursed under his breath."What the fuck?"He thought out loud, maybe someone was here earlier and had taken it, but then it dawned on him that Annette might not have kept it where it can be easily be seen, he looked around wondering where he would have hidden something like that if it were to be him, he looked up at the ceiling, there was no cracking."It's not here,"He thought as he walked out of the apartment, looking a
Ruby sat in her office waiting for Liam to return, there was no point trying to fall asleep because she knew she wasn't going to get any sleep, that's how it will be for now and it wasn't because she wanted it to be that way, so much has happened especially today that broke her resolve, if it weren't for her team and Liam she would have given up, packed up and ran, in fact, she would not have found out in the first place, she wasn't as strong as she had expected she was, little Kristen cried out bringing her out if her thoughts, she walked to where the baby slept and picked her up, the little princess eyes shone, she must have been awake for a while."Hi, baby, your daddy will be back soon,"She said and the little one stared at her, Ruby already shared a special bond with this child, she didn't know how it happened but she fell in love with this precious baby and couldn't help thinking about what might have happened to her mom, why did she drop her off without coming back for her, sh
Ruby laid in Liam's arms, she still couldn't fall asleep, nothing could help her fall asleep, not after the nightmare she witnessed today, it was horrors upon horrors, and the diary Liam found, it will be filled with more horrors and she knew it wasn't going to stop soon, this island was a ticking bomb and it might explode anytime soon"Doc, you need to get some sleep you really need to sleep, you can't keep going like this,""I know, but I can't seem to fall asleep, I just feel like I shouldn't talk asleep,""You have to,""I didn't ask you what your brother said, can we talk about it?""No, we can't, we will do that tomorrow, I told you you need to get some sleep or you might end up getting sick and we can't have that,""I am not sleepy,""Ruby,""The diary, what's inside?"She asked wanting to get it over and done with, she already knew there will be horrible things inside, she just wanted to hear it."I haven't read it in all Ruby but I took photos and sent them to Luca, we will t
"So what are our plans?"Ruby asked after they ate breakfast, she needed to be at the hospital by ten, the only reason she was able to stay here was because the hospital was still safe despite what happened yesterday, they weren't targeting them, at least not yet, she just hope that they will find a way out before that happens, a way to get everyone out of here but the problem is will the women be willing to talk? The ones helping out in the hospital don't say anything except to each other or they want to report a situation, they just still to themselves, even after what happened yesterday, they all acted like it was not a new thing, which was all shade of wrong, she wishes there was a way to get through to them, after Annette, it was safe to assume that most of the women understand English too and they were just pretending not to."For now, we are going to be on the lookout, we can't just take the kids out, nor can we pull anybody out, and we don't have enough evidence yet and there
Liam didn't know where to start from in looking for the woman from the night before but he had to find her somehow, he was damn sure that she knew something that might help, he could have just waited for her to come out again but he didn't know until when she will come out if her hiding again, he already knew people won't speak to him but still he chooses to walk around and ask.He started from the area he had seen her the night before, describing her as much as he could to the people around there but no one had answers for him or maybe they just didn't want to tell him, after over thirty minutes of looking and with no sight of her, he decided to give up, he already thought it would be best to look for her at night since she might be bidding during the day, the people he passed by were already looking at him suspiciously, he didn't want them reporting him to whoever it is that is their head, it was impossible for them not to have a head here, it would be easy for them to get away, he
"What? What daughter?"Luca asked and Liam cut him off on the call while calling him on the video call."What daughter?"Luca asked again as his face flashed on the screen, Liam adjusted the volume before facing him properly."My daughter, I met her two days after I got here, and she is mine now, her mother whoever dropped her off left her for me and she has been with me since,"He explained. Luca had his mouth opened in bewilderment."Don't be so shocked Luca, I couldn't send her away, she is so cute and precious and she was barely a month old,""Wow, just wow, you have a kid with you? How are you going to do shit with a kid?"Luca asked. Liam knew why he was worried, being on the island alone was dangerous enough but having a young child with him made it worst, she could be his weakness, not just her but Ruby too was already his weakness."I know, she is the reason I even got close to the medical team, Ruby and the others are helping with caring for her and I plan on legalizing it o
Ruby got back to the clinic earlier than she had said she would, she couldn't stay back at the house so right after Liam left the house, she took Kristen with her and came to the hospital, as she expected there wasn't much work to do, she only just did her rounds and check up on the women still at the hospital, only a few were left."Where is Kristen's dad?"Sara asked her when she came to the reception."He went looking for the lady from the night before, he will be back soon,"She answered, Sara reached out for Kristen and she gave the baby to her."You guys are seeing each other?"Sara asked shocking Ruby."What?""I mean are you guys dating because it looks like it,""What? How so? We are not,"She replied."It does look like you guys are a couple, I mean you are so comfortable around him don't blame me for thinking you guys are a thing,""We are not, Liam and I are just partners, we barely know each other and again this is not even the place to think about dating, and I for one,
"Wow, Liam, you finally showed up, I thought you weren't going to come here today,"Ruby said when Liam entered her office, she had been expecting him since afternoon but he took forever to show up, she had been close to going to the apartment to look for him but she couldn't leave the hospital for fear of things going wrong while she was away."Sorry, I was going through Annette's diary together with Luca and fell asleep, I am sorry if I kept you waiting,"He apologized."No, it is fine, you needed the sleep, you look much better now that you have slept,""Yeah, thanks, did anything happen while I was away?"Liam asked sitting on the chair opposite her."Not really, but I did speak with the young lady you brought in, she is still recovering, apparently, she came here about two weeks ago as a tourist but had ended up on the wrong side of the island and they had locked her away, she managed to escape only last night and the was when she met you,"Ruby explained but Liam's face showed t
