Narrator's POV

"Today is the day." it has been five years since they took her from her bed. She barely knows anything other than being their servant. She has taken more lives than people she knows, and at this point, she barely has control over any of it.

"And it should be easy for you to do it, he has turned into a lunatic since you have been here." her legs move in the direction of the door, she is barely surprised by her body doing what is commanded of it anymore. It no longer listens to her.

In their bedroom, the curtains closed, bed messy, boxes of take-out at the door, ants crawling around, his clothes everywhere on the floor while hers are on the bed, on her side of the bed. A shrine for her, hope that she is still alive. She had to be.

Her phone pings and while she continuously tells herself to not respond to every ping and pong, she responds by pulling her phone from her pocket and checking the notification.

"No fucking way," she whispers before heading out of the office space and heading to the terrace.
"She is here!" Sibo tells Shadow over the phone, overjoyed, enough to fill an ocean.

"Who?"

Tears streaming down her face "Remember when I said I created an application that looks for Kamo?"

"Yeah."

"The application just sent me a picture of her at O.R. Tambo Airport."

"Are you sure it is her?" he asks as two years ago, it flagged a person in Sydney and when they went, they discovered that it was not her. A humbling experience for both parties.

"I know my best friend and that is her."

"Should we go to her or him?"

"Come to my house so we can see if we can catch her anywhere else."

"I will bring Zale and Eric."

"Cool." she hung up and let out a loud cry, she needed it, she knew with every atom in her body and around her that, the lady in the picture was her best friend that was stolen from her five years ago.

When she arrives, she checks her Kaiser application that she created four years ago after she found out that he goes on killing sprees if he sees a physical reminder that Kamo is gone or that his kids are dead. It monitors his house and since Greta's passing, there are always three food deliveries so it was updated to only alert her if the person ringing the bell is not a food delivery person.

Thandi told her to leave it but she could not abandon him in his time of need. Kamo would not want her to and she owes her best friend at least that.

The four friends got together to search the internet for their friend, they needed the lady in the picture to be their friend, if not for them, then for their sick friend.

She came to the door that started it all. She remembers the first time that she had dinner with him or the times he ordered her here, or raising our baby here together, this was our home.

Knock, Knock, Knock. One, Two, Three. Knock, Knock, Knock! One, Two, Three. Ring the bell. One, Two, Three.

He opens the door and it took a second before he noticed who the woman in front of him is and she froze for a second allowing him to close the door.

Knock, Knock, Knock! He opens again and it is her.

Ping! Ping! Ping! Sibo looks at the notification and it is a picture of the Ludwig residence and it seems Mr and Mrs Ludwig are staring at each other.

"We need to get to their house now."

"What?"

"She is there and I don't know how he will react."

"You think he might kill her?"

"Yes!" little did they know as they were rushing to save her, he was the one in need of saving.

He could not separate reality from fantasy and while he wanted it to be real, it was not.

She did not want to but her body moves to harm him and she can not watch.

In the moments that he froze trying to figure out the situation in front of him, she lunged at him. It took a second but his instinct kicked in and he held her against the wall

"Kamo!" his first word in five years. "Kamohelo!" she was not responding, maybe she was not the woman he fell in love with. "Kamo," she kicks him in the stomach and he falls onto the floor.

"I don't want to do this." hearing her voice soothed something in him "I am so sorry." he could not understand why she would apologize, all she had to do was stop attacking him, he just wanted to wrap his arms around her and never let go but that did not seem likely.

"Kamo?" They look at the door where Sibo, Shadow, Eric and Zale stand

"Please leave." she pleads not wanting to harm them

"She is trying to kill me," he confesses "Please." he needed someone else to stop her because he could never live with himself if he hurt her.

Her arms wrapped around his neck, he does not struggle against it but Sibo and Shadow pry her off him.

"Why do you want to kill him?"

"I don't want to kill him." she struggles out of their hold "I wish I did not have to do this."

Zale injected her with a tranquillizer and she immediately relaxed into their hold.

"We need to contain her until we know more."

"We can hold her in the basement."

"How?" Sibo wanted to contain her but not in an inhumane manner.

"I can change the cuffs to leather cuffs so she is comfortable."

Once she was cuffed, Sibo and Eric were watching her while Kaiser, Shadow and Zale cleaned the house. Without judgement, they helped their friend but wondered if he will be fine now that his wife was trying to kill him.

"She is awake." they rush to the basement where Sibo is helping her drink some water.

"We are so sorry that we did this, we just did not know what to do," Sibo tells her

"I understand."

"Why are you trying to harm me?"

"I do not want to hurt you but they put a chip in my head..."

"They? Who?"

"Anya, this lady and a doctor."

"What?" Kamo retells all the horrors of the past five years and her friends listen. "Wow. I am sorry you went through all of that."

"Do you think you can take it out?" she asks of her tech genius friend.

"I don't think so. It sounds like they placed the chip on your brain and I do not know if the chip is still outside the brain or if it has fused into the brain."

"Fuck."

"Is there any way to see where the chip is?"

"That would involve a few brain scans and she can't take one if she is fighting us."

"If she is knocked out?"

"For a PET scan, I need her awake."

"What are we going to do?"
