In the end I just say fuck it and instead of hitting the target, I just waste the bullet. I put the gun down and take the ear muffs off and look at him.
"I really suck at this"
He smiles while looking at me "with a little practice I'm sure you wil...
A depressive and heavy mood hung all over the house. No one eating nor sleeping, instead working overtime to find her, but to no avail.
The sound of keyboard clicking is all that could be heard around the house as they had called every specialist they knew to work on this.
In the conference room they sat trying to figure out different measures. Everyone was silent as nobody knew what to say. Dark circles could be seen under everybody's eyes.
Olivia hasn't slept since the day Eureka was taken. Max had already figured out what was going on giving the heavy mood everyone was in and has been keeping to himself.
Just as they were about to call it a day, one of their subordinates rushes into the room to tell them they got a signal. This has everyone rushing to the IT room.
"Dad, what did you find?" Henry being the first to reach the room asks.
"We are picking up some kind of signal, i don't know. Some kind of phone call maybe" Andrew answers.
"Connect it" says Grandpa who had to sit down due to rushing over.
The video connects and that's when they see her. Eureka, beaten and bruised and tied to a chair with Miguel standing behind her with a sinister smile on his face.
~Somewhere in Italy~
"Sir, someone else is trying to connect to the call" one of Mateo's IT man says.
"Ah a great family reunion, connect it" says Miguel before Mateo has the chance to reply.
The video connects and they hear the sobs of a woman who is using her son as support. The Italians recognize them giving that they have an upcoming cooperation.
"What the fuck is going on Miguel?" Asks Mateo?
Miguel laughs "You can't recognize your own daughter? No Daughters" he says and shows a video in which Ava is locked up in a cold room shivering.
"What the fuck are you talking about? Those are my daughters" says Sebastian who also stood behind the screen with the French.
"Amelia was always good at fooling guys, even me" Miguel laughs and yanks Eureka's hair so she's facing the camera instead of looking down.
A series of "No" echoes throughout the connected video but doesn't faze Miguel one bit.
"You know Mateo, when Amelia brought her to me, I knew from then on that she was yours. They same eyes and the look of disdain that seems to judge me no matter what I do" He sneers
"I wanted to break her, to train her into my soldier and use her to destroy you. But she's a fierce one and managed to escape" he continues
"But thanks to the little crush she had on that Russian boy, she fell into my hands again" He laughs sinisterly "Maybe I should kill him for even having thoughts about her" he says leaving everyone speechless
"What do you want Miguel?" Grandpa asks finally breaking the silence.
"Ah finally, a man who gets it" he shifts his gaze to grandpa and replies "I know Eureka was working on a micro chip that contains the ability to destroy organizations and I want it"
"She won't give it up no matter how hard I try but I'm guessing one of you knows where it is. You have three days to deliver it to me, if not both girls die. And trust me the chip means a lot more to me than them"
Of course nobody believed him, he had been chasing Eureka all this while and now all of a sudden he cares more about some chip? Bullshit!
He must have noticed that nobody believed him so he grabbed a gun from one of his subordinates and shot Eureka in the stomach where she would bleed out but not die instantly.
He also increased the temperature in the room Ava was in to a much colder setting.
This was a shock to everyone and a series of cusses were thrown at Miguel but he couldn't care less.
"The clock is ticking and now you only have 24 hours to bring me the chip or you would have to start preparing for three funerals" he said and cut the video connection.
"GET IT BACK" Sebastian yells as the IT subordinates and Andrew try their hardest to get back the connection but to no avail.
"I don't know what's going on but we will be in the US in a couple of hours to help" Mateo says and also cuts off his end of the connection.
"What chip is he talking about? Henry do you know anything?" Grandpa asks but Henry could only shake his head with bloodshot eyes.
"Damien is dead" says the brothers in unison.
There was a defeating silence in the room after that as many tried to hold on their sobs.
"Mom" Max breaks the silence after a long while and this shocks everyone as nobody had noticed him in there.
Olivia rushes to hug him and walks out of the room with him crying out for his sister.
"It's my fault" he repeats in between hiccups and that makes everyone freeze and look at him weird wondering what he is talking about.
Unbeknownst to them, the moment Miguel cut the video connection he started panicking and calling his doctors to come take care of Eureka. She had lost consciousness and it was driving him crazy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
