SIDNEY THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL IN THIS PLAN TOGETHER

SIDNEY THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL IN THE PLAN TOGETHER

Hearing the ringing, when the person said, "Hello!"

Knowing it was Uncle Myles, "Uncle Myles, it is I, Sidney, I heard grandpa is not doing well?"

Hearing he had gotten sick Tuesday morning and he hasn't regained consciousness as yet, with tear-filled eyes she said, "Uncle, I am so sorry, when he feels better or wakes up, will you tell him I call, bye.

..Sorry, Uncle, but if truth be told I have no intention of returning to the house. Vince needs to get his priorities right, if he loves Chrystal I don't have a problem with that, I will agree to a divorce in the morning, it was his plan anyhow so he might be happy to hear that.....

I understand what you are saying Uncle, he told me the same thing and not twenty minutes had gone by and they were together in each other arms. I am sorry but I cannot believe anything that's come out of his mouth, because it is all lies.'

Myles listens to her crying as she speaks, having no comforting words to give, 'He also recalls Vince's words, as he was crying relating what had occurred. 'They are both broken trying to imagine how she must be feeling when she saw them together, and what he must be going through knowing it was all a simple misunderstanding.

If only she had gotten to know him a little more, then she would believe him, but with Chrystal's constant medaling, and every time she visits she causes a problem with Sidney, I can blame her for leaving, Vince has to know exactly what he wants and understand what she is thinking and feeling?

They also need to figure out a way to make their marriage work because Chrystal is always her. But from everything I have heard, it seems Chrystal did this mischief intentionally. What I want to know is how is it she I always her and seems to know exactly what is going on in their lives to come and cause a problem?'

Recalling Vanda's behaviour towards her, he knows she had nothing to do with it but she keeps encouraging Chrystal so part of what is happening is her fault.'

If only Sidney could have heard Vince, she would have known he was speaking the truth, when he was relating what had occurred to cause her to leave the house. I don't want to think what her family must be going through now that they know she is missing.'

****

Sidney replays Vince's messages over and over again as the tears flow, hearing him saying, "Sidney, I am sorry, but right now I know that does not mean anything to you, but I am very sorry, I love you very much."

Hearing him sniffling and blowing his nose when he said, "Sidney, please return home or call me, I will come and get you wherever you are, GP, is not well and it is all my fault, please come home, I miss you."

Wiping the tears, Sidney whispers, "I am sure you do, but your lies could fool your family, not me, my only prayer is grandpa gets well soon, and when did he get sick? When he promises me before I leave, that he will be okay and that he understands why I was leaving, he even gives me money saying to take care of myself.

Sidney recalled so clearly when he found her crying near his bed, and she related to him what had happened, and she was going to leave. At that moment I thought he will be distraught and might even try to dissuade me, but he sounds as though he was relieved.

Was he in on this plan with Vince and Chrystal? Was this just a show for them, so why is he sick? What is his ploy now? Does he think that I will hesitate to give Vince a divorce or ask for alimony?

Well, I never wanted to get married in the first place, now this trick of theirs to get me back home, to hell with all of them? I will never return to that house again; I hate them all, they are all just full of lies and deceptions."

Wednesday morning before taking his shift Jeff calls the Police Station in Long Beach and the other districts to send out a bulletin, informing them of her missing and to be on the alert. He sends a recent picture so they want her.

George also did the same asking her friends in all the other Police Stations and departments to be on the lookout. Having no choice they started very early in their patrol vehicles driving through towns and villages.

When Carol call seven-thirty from the hospital to let them know that mom was taken ill and was admitted. Jeff asked his working colleagues to continue their search and he return to check on his mom.

Reaching the hospital he met George in the ward already. Jeff knows, 'When it comes to mom she does always panic because she has a fear that she might lose her just like dad.

When she is working she is a completely different person but with mom, she panics. recalling the incident just as if it was yesterday.

She had only returned from college and rest down her bag when the phone rang. She had this thing that while she is home her duty was to answer the phone.

When she did, she receive news that dad was not feeling well at work. Mom had Haley who was just three years, so George called me and the both of us went to get dad. Sid was away studying and Carol was just thirteen so she stayed with mom.

On the way to the hospital she was riding in the ambulance and I was following. When the ambulance stopped, I wanted to know what was wrong, going to the ambulance when they open the door, George was holding dad's hand and he was dead.'
