JAMES WAS ANGRY

With the men at the back of the jeep, Sibestian asks two of them to hoist him up to the window height. Scoping out the room from the broken window he then returns to the jeep.

He instructed the men to surround the premises until backup comes, but don't go to the front entrance so the guards won't be alerted.

It wasn't long when two vanloads camewith CID officers then he allowed the driver to drive to the front entrance where the guards keep watch at the door.

Indicating to his officers to restrain the guards for questioning until his search was completed.

He then unbolted the door and stepped inside. The guard at the desk was out cold, his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, his hand was tied and so were his feet.

Indicating to the officer who was wearing gloves to secure the gun as evidence, when he went to the corner where there was a pool of blood.

Sebastian get the officer to take some pictures of the crime scene then he instructed him when he finish make sure and secure the crime scene with caution tape.

Charles must have driven for more than fifteen minutes, everyone in the car was quiet, Carlos observed when Vince turns around to see if anyone was following the car. Then he slowly removes the jacket to see how serious her wounds were.

Immediately he instructs Charles to drive straight to the general hospital.

He then calls Uncle Myles instructing him to give GP the news that she is safe and for someone to remain with him until we are home.

He then goes on to say, "Just tell the immediate family that she is safe, and Uncle Myles please no outsiders though matter who they are must know of this matter."

'Carlos knew he was speaking about, Chrystal, because she is always visiting. Could it be she is the one responsible, looking at how Sidney's hand was bleeding and the way she was sweating so profusely?

I am sure she is so scared and with the many cuts and bruises, her hand is also swollen, did she damage her hand so badly while fighting to escape?

And I have never seen Vince like this, since he had gotten married he has changed so much. Noticing the way he gently strokes her head afraid to touch his hand seeing it bleeding and her crying.'

Vince felt as though his heart was bleeding from within, unable to imagine the pain she must be feeling at this moment.

When he felt his pants soak from her tears, he continues to stroke her. 'Oh God, this is what I was worried about the most, but why would the kidnapper send us to where she was held?

Recalling Sidney saying to him when he call and she did reply, that it was a trap, which means that Sidney was the bait, is it me they wanted to capture? If that is the case then it isn't Chrystal but Gilbert who has kidnapped her?'

Reaching the hospital the wait was unbearable, having no choice Vince took her to a medical complex, as he enters they rushed her to a room and attended to her immediately.

While Vince waited on the doctors to complete their task, he calls Caroline and informs her that Sidney was safe and all was well. Vince didn't want her mom worrying nether her family members.

Reaching Grant Memorial James notices the caution tape, "What the hell, and where are the guards? Did that fool call the police or is it the old Geezer, God how I hate that family, I don't see why Chrystal loves that fool so much?"

Hurrying around the building to the room where Sidney was held, seeing the glass broken and the pool of blood. "Did they hurt her when I instruct them not to?

I know Chrystal doesn't like her and she is the only one who knew which room she was held in and she knew who the men were.

But the caution tape means the police have already been to this crime scene. But why would Chrystal brake the glass if she took her that would only attract attention.'

"I am sure that woman has gotten away and called the police, what must I do to get rid of her? She is so cunning and how could I depend on others to handle a job that was already running so smoothly?"

Wondering if the men will talk and expose him, Gilbert decided to seek a hideout for a few months. Switching off his phone just in case Chrystal calls and starts cursing like a mad woman if she didn't do it.

I should have just gotten rid of her first and then deal with that traitor, now she is free again, I have worked so hard and spent so much money only to fail. What a disaster and a good waste of energy and time.'

Angry with himself, 'If only I had stuck around and seen this task completed it would have been favourable, now I have to return to the drawing board and burst my brain to come up with a plan that is even more schrwge.

If only she wasn't so inquisitive and interferingwith my business, I would have left the matter to rest but she keep poking her nose around and asking so many questions.'

At the Medical Complex, Vince took Sidney up from the bed after the doctors had completed attending to her. She seems to still be unconscious, or in shock.

With the many spots on her that had cuts and bruises, it was best that they had made one gauze, instead of having to make many small gauze patches, especially on her wrist, which looked frightful. Vince thought about how she must have struggled when she was captured and the many bruises she had obtained.

Reaching the car when Carlos opens the back door for him, Vince whispers his thanks then he sits down and slowly slides to the middle of the seat leaving enough room for Carlos to have a seat. With her, in his lap, he rests her feet on the seat making her comfortable.
