Find him, leave no stone unturned!” Logan was yelling into his phone, “Find my son in whatever hidey hole my wife thinks she can keep him in and bring him back safe to me.”

There was a muffled “yes sir” from the phone before he ended it. He paced the balcony impatiently and in a rage, he threw his phone against the wall. It shattered.

“Damn it.” He muttered.

How did she know to hide Christopher? Did someone tell her something? The only person he had actually discussed his plans with was Christa and he knew she wasn't stupid enough to go blabbing it to Marybeth. Wait. He stopped pacing. She could have gone to her to gloat and might have accidentally let something slip, something that would have alerted Marybeth to his plans.

He dismissed those thoughts immediately. Christa hadn't had time to go anywhere; she had been with him that whole time since they left the hospital. It was hard to imagine her doing so. He relaxed slightly then another thought entered his head. What about phon

    Christa hobbled slightly as she entered the car, assisted by Logan who was absentmindedly scrolling through his phone, his fingers hovering above Marybeth’s name.“Logan?” She called him softly, her gaze upset. Upset that he wasn’t dedicating his full attention to her but was instead focused on that damn phone, “Is there some sort of work thing that you need to handle? I mean you haven’t taken your gaze off that phone for a while now.” She pointed out.He looked at her, gave her a smile then said, ”Oh, I’m sorry. It’s not really that important. Just some little things from work.”“Well if it isn’t important, put the phone away. You’re supposed to be taking care of me, remember?” She said with a pout.“Right. Of course.” He nodded his head softly.He closed the door, walked around the car, and made his way into the driver’s side of the car. He started the car and drove out of the parking lot of the hospital, quiet with his gaze focused on the road, but his mind was elsewhere, it was on

    It had been a week after the funeral and Marybeth had spent the entire time with her family. She had made no attempts to reach out to Logan, and neither had he. Things were calm and she was at ease in the home she grew up in.“So, when will you be going back?” Wayne asked her.They were in the kitchen, preparing light snacks for them to eat before dinnertime came.“I'll be heading back in a bit.” She replied, “To gather my things and to give him the divorce letter.”“I still cannot believe the tactic you used to get him to sign the letter. You're a genius young one.” He said, ruffling her head.“Hah, a genius.” She chuckled, “Well I am our mother and father's daughter after all. I may have forgotten what they taught me for a while but it is all coming back to me.” She paused for a moment, “Remember our motto?”“Yeah.” He nodded his head.“Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.” They said in unison.“I never really understood what that meant.” Marybeth said, a melancholic look on her fa

    Logan had left the hospital, to go get Christa her favorite ice cream, or at least that was what he told her. He just needed to get out of that hospital. He was tired of seeing to her needs, being at her beck and call, and he couldn't complain because everyone in the hospital looked at him as though he was responsible for her bruises, so he had to treat her well, so they'd quell such stupid thoughts. Hospitals annoyed him to no end. People who were beneath him thought they could order him around and tell him what to do. He pulled up to a fast food restaurant, eager to have some oily goodness in his body. He walked up to the counter. “Two large fries, a burger, and a cola.” He said to the kid at the counter. “Uh…” The boy stalled, his floppy hair leaking from his cap and blocking his view. He flipped his head repeatedly, trying to get his hair out of his eyes. “Would that be all, sir?” He spoke in the unhurried, monotone drawl that teenagers enjoyed talking with. It was like they

    The funeral procession was over, and she remained seated where she was, her brother by her side. Her parents went into the crowd to thank the people who came. Some people walked up to Marybeth, patted her arm softly, and muttered gently, “So sorry for your loss. He was an amazing kid.” “Yes, he was. Thank you for coming.” she'd manage to mutter. Soon after everyone had left, they also left. In the limo, three pairs of eyes were watching her worriedly. All of them shared similar worries, was Marybeth going to be ok? The limo had not moved yet, it was still in the parking lot of the funeral home. “So, where to now?” Wayne asked Jael, who still had her eyes on Marybeth. “Where are we going now, Marybeth?” Jael asked her daughter gently. Marybeth, staring out the window the whole time, turned her head slowly to face them, “Huh? What do you mean?” “You haven’t told us what you want to do with your son’s ashes.” She explained, “Do you want to take it home with you or did you have som

    The steady beeping of the monitor was the only sound that filled the room. Logan sat beside an unconscious Christa who lay on the bed, her head wrapped in a bandage and her right leg in a cast. There was a knock on the door and he turned around expectantly.“Doctor, good afternoon. So what’s the update?” He said in greeting to the doctor.“Good afternoon Mr Renfry. You’re the one who brought Miss Lance here?” The doctor asked, his tag read Sterling.“Yes, Doctor Sterling.”“I see, and how exactly did she get so hurt?” Sterling asked.“Well, sir, I had to leave for an event, but she didn’t want me to, so she rushed after me down the stairs, then slipped and fell,” Logan explained.“Really?” It was quite obvious that the doctor did not believe Logan’s version of events: “Well, we’ll wait for her to wake up, then we’ll see if her story collides with your story.”“Collaborates with my story? What happens if it doesn’t?” Logan asked, looking down his nose at the doctor.“We’d have to call

    Wow, that dress fits you perfectly.” Jael commented.Marybeth was standing in front of a mirror staring at the black dress her mother had picked for her. She smoothed the dress with her hands. It was a formal ankle-length gown with lace long sleeves, with a hat with small netting that covered a portion of her face. Though the dress itself was something she would pick out for herself, the color would never make her look at it in a shop. Black was a color she despised. “That’s only because the person who chose it has an amazing fashion sense.” Was her reply.“Oh she does, does she?” Jael chuckled, “I remember when you were younger, a teenager to be exact, you refused to wear anything I picked out for you. I believe you called my sense of style ‘outdated’ and that ‘it made you want to jump off a bridge, into a river and drown’”“I said all that?” Jael nodded, “Wow, I most certainly was a dramatic kid then.” She let out a sad chuckle.“I know this is coming late but my dear Marybeth,” Ja
