(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

Shana sat up abruptly, the covers falling from her shoulders. Her face was grimaced in concentration, a frown creasing her forehead. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand, it was almost five in the morning. She looked at her husband, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch. The painkillers she had given him must have taken effect, she concluded. After taking one last glance at Dennis, she slipped out of the blanket, careful not to wake him and tip over.When Shana stood in the kitchen, she started rummaging through her cupboards for some food. She found some cheese and crackers, poured some milk into a bowl, and then added two spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream, mixing them before filling the bowl. She then moved back into the balcony and carefully picked up Dennis' phone. She searched on the internet and scrolled through several sites until she came across an article she was interested in.Shana read the headline, "Harmful shooting at the St. Jude yesterday", and click the link att

" Why? I need to tell them that I'm safe. " Shana said. "No. Nobody will be able to find you in your current state.""I need to call my friends. They must be worried sick about me by now.""Do you think I wanted you to go back to them like this?"Erik sounded angry. The anger and frustration in his voice were evident and it scared her, so much so that tears began streaming down her face again. When she stopped crying, Erik continued talking,"If anyone finds out, they might try to attack you. I don't want that." Then why won't you let me call them?" "Shana-" "Erik, please! If you keep me hidden from my family forever, who knows what else that woman might do! I can't live like this anymore, I have to tell them that I'm safe!" "It's too dangerous, Shana. Even if I let you tell them, I guarantee that they would never believe you and it would just put you in more danger than you already are." "You can't stop me, Erik!" "I'm trying to, damnit. This isn't easy for me to do! And if w

After 5 minutes of tying the clothes, the length of the clothes has reached the ground. Shana went down without hesitation, using the clothes she had just tied into a rope. Shana has reached the bottom in less than a minute. Shana not only made it to the bottom, but she also climbed out of the way. Shana was perplexed by the location once she arrived at the road. She'd never been in that neighborhood before. Shana chose to walk straight until her cell phone received a signal line. Shana noticed a gas station not far from where she was standing after walking for an hour. Shana kept walking quickly to the station and entered the gas station shop. Shana sat in the back seat to avoid being noticed by people she knew. The phone call was finally connected after several attempts. Shana didn't notice Erik had found her because she was too busy trying to call Dennis. Erik confiscated Shana's phone before she could speak with Dennis."What..." Shana looked at Erik."What are you doing

"So where is this Annie live?" asked Halsey."New York. It was said that she's moving.""Where?""We don't know yet sir, but we're trying our hardest to find it.""Well, keep your eyes peeled. If anything comes out, I need to know about it as fast as possible. Call me when you know something""Yes sir," the men said."Good, now go. You've done enough work today and you should go home. Take care of yourself"" Thank you, sir"Halsey hung up the call. He sighed deeply then sat in his office and leaned over his desk. He stared blankly at his hands that were resting on the desk. His mind is in turmoil. All those times when they had problems, he never imagined that it would happen again. Why? Because of Shana, no doubt. Shana was always there for him. Whenever he was troubled, she'd be there beside him. He remembered one particular incident. 20 years ago, he and Shana met. he wanted to take pictures of the mountains for inspiration while on her summer brea
