Chapter 10

MELANIE IS MISSING

BRYAN~~

How come she isn't here yet? the dinner party is about to begin. We also need to greet my dad together before if starts.

" Hey bro"

" Killian you're here already" I said when I saw my best friend

" Just arrived " and Melanie hasn't arrived.

" Oh I see "

" So how has work been" I raised my hand signaling him to stop.

" Please don't bring up matters concerning work affairs here I'm finally free today so let me enjoy freedom"

" Oh I see" we both giggled.

" So where is she? "

" Who? "

" You're wife of course "

" Ohh she is yet to come"

" Okay, I heard she is a damsel so I'd love to see her"

" You really hear things"

" Yeah bro, my sis friend told me " this guy is so silly calling my sister his sis friend such illiterate"

" She is yet to come"

" Oh I would love to see her"

" You will"

" Sir Miss Melanie isn't home" Alan texted me.

What does he mean by Melanie isn't home?, I called him.

" Alan! " I said after I dialed series of numbers on my phone.

" Sir"

" What do you mean by my wife isn't home?"

" We just arrived at her home now but she isn't home" I ended the call rushing out, I saw her mom and stepdad, what the fuck is going on?

" Bryan" Dawson spoke first

" Good day"

" Yeah son-in-law" he called me, and I felt irritated.

" Umm where is Melanie I've not seen her including her dad"

" They took a cab, I think she would arrive soon" Mrs. Dawson said probably lying.

" A cab?"

" Yes they Insisted "

" Excuse me" I said and rushed out.

" Bryan" I heard a familiar voice call out I tutned, why the fuck is she calling me?

" Where are you heading to in such a hurry?" Mariel asked.

" Something important came up I've to go" I said in a hurry.

" Oh okay stay safe" I didn't listen any more I just rushed out to the hall where I sawy dad, he saw my ugly face he probably knew something was up.

" Bryan what's the matter?" he asked me curiously.

" Dad Melanie is missing"

" What?!!!!!"

My dad postponed the dinner party and the wedding to whenever we find her and her dad.

" David, Alan, Royce,Chris and Patrick, if I don't find my wife in the next twenty four hours you will count your selves gone"

I said heading directly to the car, they all alighted in sux different cars as we drove with various security to where we don't know.

I've been dialing Melanie's line for twenty minutes but no response. I Alan and David took the same car.

" David didn't I send you to pick up my wife"

" I did go but her parents insisted that they would drive them here and Miss Melanie and dad took a car driven by their own security driver" he said with his voice almost shaking.

" I sent you there to pick up .y wife and not listen to their useless excuses"

" I am sorry sir"

" You should only be sorry for your self if I don't find her"

" Alan!"

" Sir"

"Alert all airline authorities, tourism offices, taxi commissions, and immigration checkpoints. I want every possible exit route monitored and shut down—no flights, no trains, no buses, no cabs. No one leaves this city with my wife. Station at least ten trusted men at every key point: airports, local train stations, bus terminals, even stables and private helipads if necessary. I want every route watched, every escape blocked. Make it impossible for her to be moved an inch without us knowing."

" Yes sir"

"David, you're in charge of tracking their movements down to the minute they left. Tap into the city’s satellite feeds and monitor every vehicle that departed from her neighborhood—trace every route, especially those heading toward the dinner party. Leave nothing unchecked. Even her father’s unstable condition is now at stake."

" Yes sir"

" Chris"

" Sir"

"Chris, contact the legal office. Tell them to file charges against Mr. and Mrs. Dawson—human trafficking and kidnapping. No delays. I want them treated like criminals, not citizens."

" Okay sir " I hung the call, my phone rang again the caller's ID days *Mr.Dills*

" Hello dad"

"Bryan,I've sent my men to surround the whole city, you should do same"

" I have done that too "

" That is good "
