Chapter Fifteen
2nd January, 1999
The White house
First Lady Samantha Rawlings
A new year without my daughter, a new year of sadness. A year I would never forget. I still haven't gotten a report from James and by now, I was beyond worried. What's taking him so long?. It's well over twenty four hours since I gave him the job and i'm yet to get anything from him. I couldn't risk going over to his house for fear of someone recognizing me.
"What do I do?" I muttered.
A gentle knock on the door cut through my thoughts. I remembered I was expecting Agent mark, I assigned the job of getting any information that he could find concerning Lana's kidnap, I just hope he got something.
"Agent Mark, do you have any news?."
"Yes ma'am" he said, sadly.

3rd January, 1999(morning)The White HousePresident Freddie RawlingsI had to get to Joel one way or the other. Damn, never in my life have I felt so hopeless. All efforts I've put in to secure my daughter's release have proved abortive, I was so terrified at what my daughter might be passing through now.I just couldn't stay still knowing fully well that she's in the hands of that monster. Picking up my phone, I do the one thing I know is right. "Matt, meet me in my office in the next thirty minutes" I instructed, cutting the call.I was so ashamed at what I was about to do but that was the only way I could rescue my daughter from Joel's clutches.Thirty minutes later, Matt Dallas walked in. Tall with broad shoulders and dark brown hair, he was in his late fifties and having served as a secretary-g

3rd January, 1999(morning)The WarehouseLanaIts a never ending circle. A repeated sequence I experience everyday, locked up in this room with little or no contact. A hollow feeling in my heart whenever I think about my family, the grief I feel whenever I remember those who died in that bloody Christmas party.Over the weeks, I've had little or no contact with Joel. The only reason he came to my room was to warn me that time was running out. I was so scared at what would happen if time finally runs out. My family hasn't made any contact with Joel, actually nobody at the white house has even made any effort to secure my release.Would they just leave me here to die at Joel's hands?, Don't I mean anything to them?. Perhaps this was how my life was going to end. Dying at the hands of a psychotic killer, perfect. I could just see how the headlines would be; "Lana Rawlings, daughter of President Freddie Rawlings has d

3rd January, 1999(evening)The WarehouseLanaI was dressed in a black knee length gown, nothing special. What's there to celebrate anyway, its not as if this is a friendly dinner. I just hope this goes well and I don't die before its over.Summoning enough courage, I pushed open the doors leading to the dining room. To say I was surprised at what I saw would be an understatement, I was amazed. Never in my life could I have imagined that the most feared terrorist group could laugh so cheerfully without a care in the world.Joel, being the leader of the gang sat at the head of the table. By his right sat Vanessa, looking so beautiful as ever. An Italian man I didn't recognize sat by his left while a bunch of other people I didn't know filled the dinner table, leaving an empty chair beside Vanessa which was obviously for me.They were immersed in their discussion, none aware of my presence. Just then, Vanessa

4th January, 1999The White HouseFirst Lady Samantha RawlingsI still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that James Roberts was dead. I mean, how could this happen. James was always so careful, he was practically invisible. As far as I'm concerned, nobody knew him. He never drew attention to himself. How on earth did he end up getting killed?. Gosh, this is getting serious by the day. Whoever is behind this has no conscience at all.The problem at hand now was what to do. My only source of hope was gone. Agent Mark hasn't gotten anything for the past few days, I was practically at a standstill.The only option I have left is to inform Freddie, perhaps we can put heads together and come out with a plan. After all, two heads are better than one. I just hope he comes out with a plan. &nbs
Bloody Christmas Chapter Twenty
4th January, 1999(mid day)The WarehouseLanaI stared at Joel like he had grown two heads. The story he just told me was incredulous. How on earth does he expect me to believe all the rubbish he just spewed out?. There was a war between my heart and my head. My heart told me not to believe Joel while my head told me otherwise. Now, I didn't know what to believe. "So, what you're trying to tell me is that my father murdered your sister and that's the whole reason I'm being held hostage". "Yes Lana. I promised to avenge my sister's death". "What does that have to do with me then?". " Lana, one day you will know" he said, solemn
Bloody Christmas Chapter Twenty one
5th January, 1999The WarehouseJoelI didn't quite expect Lana to ask me that kind of favour. What was she thinking?, did she expect me to forgive her father so easily?. I decided at the last minute to tell her half of the truth, her father can tell her the rest if he's even alive by then.I still had this nagging feeling that we were going to be under an attack soon. I hope Freddie is not trying to do anything funny because if so, the result would be disastrous. I trust my gang to retaliate in full force if anything goes wrong.Lionel walked in beaming with smiles. That's odd, most of the time Lionel was always moody until...ah, I see the Goodluck charm here: Lana. "Good day boss" he said. "Lionel, I see you're happy today. Care to share the good news?" I said.

6th January, 1999The White HousePresident Freddie RawlingsToday is the day we strike. Today is the day I finally get my daughter back. Yesterday, Matt made a shocking revelation. I never knew that he had his own private security outfit. He actually trained men and women and was the head of the team. In total, he had about five hundred men and women but a hundred will be going for this operation. I and Matt would remain here at the white house while his men and some FBI agents invade Joel's house.We were currently in my office, going over the last minute details. The operation was scheduled to hold later in the evening and by now the teams were ready. "Mr President, I think we've gotten all the details" Matt said. "Yes. How would the me

7th January, 1999Undisclosed locationLionelGosh!. Vanessa is dead, I can't believe she's dead. She wasn't supposed to die. Though we didn't get along so well but she was still my friend. She was there for me when my girlfriend dumped me for another guy. Shit, she was there for me whenever I felt down.The tough girl act she usually puts on was just a guise. Deep down, she was a sad, broken girl. Not many people knew about her family but the little she shared was enough to know that she hasn't always had it rosy all her life.The President ordered that attack, I'm sure of it. To make matters worse, the boss was severely injured. We were lucky to escape. I fear for the boss. Heck, he couldn't even talk to me.After Patricia left with Lana to the safe house, I drove the boss to the safe house too, where we would be staying since our mansion was in ruins. I hate to admit it but the FBI got us thi
