chapter 10 The Dark Truth Hurts

The next day came and the sun was beating as Wendy's parents and Ms. sugar the mother of Sally and James were rushing towards a large  building. The building room's were each had one large desk filled with papers, a printer, a shredding machine, drawers, and a garbage can.

Wendy's parents along with Ms. Sugar reach inside of the building. "Has anyone seen my husband?" Ms. Sugar said trying to catch her breath. Wendy's parents sat down on the bench. "You go and find him while, we stay here." Wendy's father said taking out a cloth to dry his face.

Just then, a young man wearing a beige tuxedo came of to her. He was smiling at her with a welcome look. "How may I help you miss?" "Have you seen my husband? It's very important."

Mr. Sugar was finishing up some of his papers until, he suddenly heard a knock on his door. "COME IN!" Just then, he looks to see it was his wife Mrs. Sugar. She looked like she had just seen a ghost. She was sweating as if, she was being chased by a hungry pack of wolves and barley made it out alive. Mr. Sugar's eyes widen with worry and he immediately rushed up towards her with a hug. "Who did this to you my love?" 

Mr. Sugar leaned his head up against hers until, Mrs. Sugar stops him. "NO TIME FOR THAT! I'll explain along the way." Mrs. Sugar immediately pulls him by his tux.

"WAIT?! WHAT?! WE'RE GOING TO JAPAN?!" They got into the car. Mrs. Sugar turned to him with worry. "I know." Her eyes began to tear with worry." But this is all my fault. I didn't realize this would ever happen again. I'm so sorry." Mrs. Sugar hugs him with tears falling from her eyes. "I'll never forgive myself if, something like that happens to them." Mr. Sugar pats her on the head. It's not your fault and have you tried calling them yet?" "Let me try Wendy's mother said taking out her cellphone.  She dials the number hoping for an answer.

Hello, You have reached Wendy. I'm so sorry I've missed your call. Please leave your name, number, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. BEEP!

Wendy's mother puts her cellphone away. "She didn't answer." Now what?" Mr. Sugar asked. "Let's try calling our daughter." Mrs. Sugar takes out her cellphone to call her daughter Sally.

"Hello there. You have reached Sally. Missed me? Leave your name and phone number down below. BEEP!

 The car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Wendy's father turns his head a bit.  He takes out a map and hands it over to him.

"Do you remember a long time ago when we were teens?" Wendy's father asked holding his arms feeling nerves. Jade's father rolls his eyes leaning against his door. "Oh please. Not this story. Look? I do believe the man was a psycho but he's not coming back. So get over it." Jade's father was just about to close the door but before he could, Wendy's mother stops him by grabbing the door. "LOOK?!" Wendy's mother said narrowing her eyes. She looked as if, someone was giving her a bad day. "I know he's not coming back to get us but before you think about slamming the door on us, please know that this could involve your daughter being in grave danger. Now please, listen to us." Jade's father crosses his arms looking away getting ready to shut the door on them again.

The sun began to set as a young chef just finished cooking food and had the waiters hand them over to the guests. The chef heads over to Michelle who was wearing her blue cloths with cherry blossoms on them. She closed her pink Wagasa putting it away. "I'll just take Sushi and some water to go please. Wait a minute?" Michelle leans closer. "Ken? Is that you?" Ken smiles with surprise. "MICHELLE?!" Ken's steps over to her with surprise. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING ALL THE WAY OUT HERE?!" They hug each other. "I just came over to get a small thing to eat." Michelle said giving him the money.
