A short amount of days passed and Shana and Dennis were beginning to lose hope. Their searches hadn't produced any results nor had anyone else been able to identify Erik or his friends. The two of them were starting to give up and think that the best thing they could do to protect each other is wait for them to come for them. Both of them had decided that they would stay together during those times in order to ensure that nothing happens to each other. It wasn't necessary; however, it was nice to have some kind of reassurance. Shana had begun working on the computer and had started to search through the web searching software. She wanted to find a connection between Erik and Bethany. She kept on asking Dennis whenever there was a chance.She had also searched through newspapers and magazines searching for any possible news stories or reports about Erik. But no such articles appeared, so she began to focus on other things.She was looking into different cases regarding kidnapping. Sh
Dennis approached Shana after seeing Shana chatting with the man until he didn't realize he was in the Chalet. "Hi, Shana. I'm glad I found you," he said as he wrapped his arms around Shana's back. "Oh, you have a friend. I'm Dennis. Shana's husband. Nice to meet you" Dennis continued to extend his hand to greet the man. The man greeted Dennis. Dennis gripped the man's hand tightly as if warning him not to disturb Shana because Shana was his."Nice to meet you too" answered the man confused. Dennis turned his attention back to Shana who wasn't listening to whatever the man was saying. "What are we going to do next? she asked. Dennis smiled widely at her and took her by the wrist, leading her away from that man and towards their room."We go first. Have fun" said Shana and smiled at the man. "Alright. Nice to meet you" the man replied to Shana. Shana waved her hand goodbye. "Who is that man?" Dennis asked curiously. " I don't know. I met him behind this Chalet smoking in a non-smo
(ERIK AND BETHANY POV)Bethany looked panicked after leaving Dennis' house that morning. He quickly left the building and headed to his house. After arriving home, Bethany called Erik. "Hurry and answer. The answer, answer!" Bethany hopes Erik will answer her call. After a few rings, Erik answered the phone. "I think they know about us", Bethany voiced her concern. "Who? Who are they?" Erik asked not understanding what Bethany said.Bethany sighed, "Dennis and Shana". "Oh no! I'm coming over to your place right away. Stay there, ok?"Bethany hung up her phone and put on some clothes. While changing, she remembered all the things she heard from Dennis and Shana.Erik arrived 20 minutes later. Bethany opened the door for him to enter the house."We need to talk", Erik spoke sternly looking serious.Bethany followed him to the kitchen where he poured himself a glass of water. She sat beside him while drinking her glass of orange juice."What's going on? Is everything okay?", Bethany w
The next day, Bethany received a phone call from Bethany. Bethany panicked. "Hey, baby," Bethany answered in a cheerful voice."Hi. Where are you?" Dennis asks in a stern voice."Oh. I'm in Japan. I had a photoshoot here. Sorry for not telling you." Bethany said to lie to Dennis." Oh okay. Take care" Dennis hang up on her. Not long after that, Shana called Erik. Seeing that, Bethany forbade Erik to answer the phone from Shana. "There must be something they want to know. Don't answer her calls. You should change your number" Bethany forbade Erik to answer Shana's calls. Shana's calls went silent in a few minutes."Now we need to think of what we have to do to separate Shana and Dennis", Bethany was so excited about that plans. Erik nodded silently.A few days later, Bethany sent some files over to Erik. In these files, he had found information about the members of the team he worked for. This led him to think that they were not going to succeed."You said that the others will come
"So are we working together or apart?""Together", answered Bethany simply."Great. Now let's discuss our plan of action.", said Erik excitedly. He loved to plan stuff like this. And Bethany's enthusiasm always brought him joy and happiness. Bethany looked over at Erik and raised an eyebrow. Erik just laughed and shook his head at her. He was getting way too used to her teasing. They continued discussing how to proceed in their plan of attack. They decided to leave in the early morning, to avoid attracting attention to themselves by leaving in the middle of the night. Of course, this meant that they would have to move fast. Bethany and Erik discussed the rest of what they needed to do. The next morning, Erik called the people he had arranged to meet him in London to arrange a flight to London. Once the arrangements were made, they left for the airport as soon as possible.***Two hours after arriving in London, they boarded a private plane bound for a nearby airstrip. Nobody seemed to
It was another few hours later when Bethany was finally ready to go to her meeting with Dennis. Bethany and Erik had agreed on what they were going to say. Bethany would try to convince Dennis that she is pregnant. Hopefully, her plan will be successful. Bethany was wearing a black skirt with a red lace pattern, a white tank top with a small jacket, and black heels. She had decided to use makeup but decided against doing her hair. If she does, it will surely distract anyone who may see her. So she left it loose and messy. As she stepped into the restaurant, immediately smiled at her. Dennis looked at Bethany, surprised. Bethany gave Dennis a little wave before walking toward him and standing in front of the table. He stood up and hugged her enthusiastically."It's great to see you again", Bethany whispered."How are you?". Dennis answered with concern, looking closely into her face. He suddenly felt scared, when he saw tears in Bethany's eyes. Bethany didn't reply but continued to loo
After a few hours of tossing and turning in bed, Bethany finally woke up. She got out of bed, walked to the bathroom, and started taking a shower. By the time she finished showering and changing, Erik was sitting in the dining room reading a newspaper. He looked up from the newspaper when he heard her coming downstairs. He quickly rose from his chair and walked over to her and gave her a big bear hug. Erik kissed her on the cheek affectionately. He didn't say anything for a minute or two. He looked deep into her eyes searchingly and finally spoke:" Did Dennis believe you?""Yes. He did. I need to use all my skills for him o believe me. I need to pretend to cry for him to sympathize with me but it's not enough for him to stay over at my house. How about you?""Me? How about me?" Erik asks confusing."Yes. You. You want to kidnap Shana right? How's the plan?" Erik scratched his head, "I haven't decided yet. I've already contacted my friends and told them to meet me outside our apartme
(Back to Shana and Dennis's POV)Dennis received a phone call from Bethany saying that they need to meet. There is something important that Bethany needs to tell him in person."Alright. See you in the restaurant near your apartment", Dennis said. "Is that Bethany? Aren't she in Japan?" Shana asked."Yes. She came back for a moment to discuss important matters with me. After that, she will return to Japan again to resume his shooting which was interrupted"" Oh, okay then" Shana didn't care about that. Bethany must want to talk about the tattoo on her hand, thought Shana. When Dennis arrived at the restaurant where they promised to meet, Bethany is not there yet. Dennis was waiting for Bethany, not long after that, Bethany arrived and found him sitting alone at one of the tables drinking tea and eating something. Bethany sat down opposite him and took off her sunglasses. Bethany looked at him in surprise, but before she could open her mouth and ta
