Rita’s story Everything around me was spinning and the blow directly to my stomach made me sick. That was the second time these people mistreated me. I didn’t think those blows could be so painful. I crouched to the ground falling from the chair I was no longer tied up. Only my hands and my legs were. Sarah and the three gorillas were surrounding me like they were of a trophy or something. I also knew that Miron heard my whining but I could not help it. It hurt too much. I wanted to spare him the worries but I kind of saw Sarah putting the phone in my direction so he could hear me better. That means woman. - Does it hurt you, dear Rita?I tried to look up to that ugly face of her but I felt my head as heavy as a stone. - Ok, no need to stand up.- You did it on purpose…- So what if I did? I wanted just to spice up a little bit the game. It was becoming so boring. By now Miron must have gone insane. Shall we call him? Or shall we let him boil in
Myron’s storyI have waited all day to receive a callback and nothing. I was imagining all sorts of things and my mind could not cope anymore with this uncertainty. It was already too much even for me. There were three weeks now since Rita is being held and I have to respond to all sorts of questions and riddles but there is no sign that Sarah will release her soon. Eventually, Peter found me a tracker device from one of his hacker friends. Sometimes I don’t even want to think about where he has those friends. I will not even ask. - Let me see it, please!It was kind of big; Peter arranged it on the table. Many buttons that maybe only he knows how to handle. - Do you happen to know how to use this?- Actually I do. My friend taught me some basics so it should be fine. Al you have to do is when Sarah calls, press this tiny button and keep her talking for up to thirty seconds. In this way, we shall find her location in approximately one minute.- T
Miron’s storyI am aware I left Peter speechless but this was a thing I had to do a long time ago. Maybe now we could be further with all this investigation. I am no cop, so to be honest, I don’t know how these things work, but a friend of mine might be able to help.I’ve been known Jack for a long time now but not ever hav
Miron’s storyAs much as I repeated that name my mind refused to believe she could be capable of such a thing. But I come around and ask myself, why not? She stood under my roof for so many ears, ate with me at the same table, even giving me advice, and now?
Miron’s storyThe very next day Jack and his whole arsenal moved to my house just as he said. Modern equipment was everywhere in my house. It felt like a police headquarters getting ready for its toughest mission ever. And God is my witness this is a hard one. Never in my life was I so worried about something or someone like I am for Rita. I just hope Jack can really help me. He has all the goodwill in the world. Thinking about the past now feels so far away. I have never been so apart from her. And with these circumstances, everything is so tragic. Not knowing what is she doing, if she is hungry or thirsty, or if she is cold drives me insane. Jack is always trying to talk to me and calm me but it is just so hard. My heart shuddered upon hearing every riddle, every question, and not being sure I will give the correct answer. - Ok, I am done assembling all this. Now we have to wait for Sarah to call and for you to keep her on the phone so I can track her down. - I
Rita’s storyI know now that there are four weeks since I have been taken. Sarah had the decency at least to tell me how long has it passed. I don’t know if Miron gave up on me, I haven’t heard from him and neither Sarah called him. My heart tells me that he is still looking for me. Oh, God, please do a miracle so that he could find me. I can no longer resist here.I spend the last two days thinking of him, of his sweet face, his gorgeous hazel eyes, his way of loving me, sometimes gentle sometimes rough. The day of my accident was so long ago but it feels like yesterday. How he stood there, coming every single day to check on me, to make sure I will make it. Then those days passed and we met and I didn’t believe he was him because I was blind. How stupid of me. I could have recognized him from his low voice. But I was too busy with the fact that I survived and nothing really cared anymore. Finally when I realized who he was a big storm broke out into my soul. I was always wondering h
Gone missingRita's story These have been long days but right about now I just find out that Sarah did call Miron. Maybe this is a good sign beside me eating or drinking again, I can hope once more that my love may save me. I feel so weak and my strengths are almost over.I try to survive one day at a time thinking and willing to stay strong. It is hard but love may be the one thing that keeps me alive right now. - Thinking of how and when you will get away from here? Not a chance in the world, honey.Sarah came in like a storm shouting and grimacing just like a crazy woman. I was trying to make eye contact but the stupidity of her question exceeds my power of understanding. - Why are you saying that, do you have something in mind? - Nothing in particular but if he comes closer I will surely move you. - What do you mean move me? - I have a strong belief that your beloved Miro is trying to get a hold of you and that to be honest, I don't like it one
Miron's storyBy Gloria's reaction, I could tell something broke inside her. She loved Rita like a daughter so she could not accept what I just told her. Little by little tears made their way freely on her riddled cheeks and she was balancing her head refusing to believe. - No, no, Miron please tell me this a bad joke. She is well at your house and I am begging you to take me to see her. I need to see her. - Grace... - No, you are lying! You have to be. Paul...Paul Smith was motionless as a stone, fixing me with wonder eyes. I am sure this is too hard to handle for them and I hate myself for breaking this news to them, but I had no choice. Grace was not talking anymore and her eyes expressed a sadness I had seen only at her son’s death. - Paul, please get it together. I need you to help me. - I am ok, son; just tell me what you need. - I need your connections in the Secret Services, someone that can help me locate Rita. - I will help you, of course, I
