Our love

Ep 21

It was two in the morning. Mon was finally asleep. Sam threw a sleeping pill on her drink and that made her fall asleep. That was the only way she would be able to sleep!
Sam sighed while looking at her sleeping wife! Even thou Mon was in a deep sleep you could still hear her sobbing from time to time. Now Sam needed to think of ways she could keep up with the lies she just told Mon; telling her that everything she said was a lie would break her even more and it would make her not trust Sam ever again. Sam couldn't do that! She sighs again and turned the sideway to think... She then heard her phone going off... She grabbed it and saw it was an unknown number and that could only mean one thing. Sam's heart started to beat faster! This was the call she's been waiting for.
She quickly grabbed her phone and went out of the room to not wake up Mon.

Sam; Hello?!
...; Mama! - she heard Ariee's voice and that was enough to bring tears to her eyes-
Sam; Reeree, baby! Mama is here!
Ariee; Mama, Mama - Ariee started to cry, and before Sam could say anything someone took her away from the phone. And Man's voice was heard on the phone -
Sam; What do you want? Please tell me and I will do it! Just give me my daughter. - the man started to softly laugh - Please give me my daughter back I will give you anything you want!
...; We want money, that's all! We know you have a lot! -
Sam; How much do you want? I will give it to you, just tell me! - the man laughed. Sam was getting impatient but she knew Ariee's life was in his hands so she just kept it in!
...; We want two million dollars by tomorrow, at 7 pm. No police involved of course. We know you have a private detective so don't try to act smart with us. If you do anything wrong your precious daughter will be gone!
Sam; I need the location!
...; We will call you tomorrow when it's time!
Sam; can I talk with my daughter again, please?
...; That won't happen! Be nice and follow our orders and you will be able to see her. We know money is not a problem for you so it won't be hard to give us this amount!
Sam; Why are you guys doing this? - Sam's voice was cracking...
...; too many questions lady! We will see you tomorrow - he laughed, an evil laugh that made Sam very upset - Remember, your little precious doll depends on you, so keep the authorities away from this situation. We are not scared of them finding out but before they do that we will take care of your daughter first if you know what we mean! Bye! -
As soon as he hung up the phone Sam started to cry. It was too much for her! There was no problem getting the money but she needed to find a way to capture those criminals and make them pay for what they did without risking her daughter's life. She needed to think fast and smart!
Sam did not sleep that night, she stayed up walking up and down the house thinking of ways she could handle getting her daughter safe but also getting those bastards!

The next morning, Sam called the private detective and the FBI involved and told them about the phone call! Sam thought it was better for them to have the conversation outside her house, she didn't want Mon to hear it! She took advantage of the fact that her wife was still sleeping and went out to meet with the team!

They tried to check where the number that called but of course they restricted it. Whoever was behind this was professional, it was well-planned!
Sam had a great meeting with the authorities, they promised that Ariee would get out safe and sound and they were going to get her today!
They told Sam to follow everything that the criminals ordered her to do, however, they would be around and they wouldn't notice. They were going to act carefully! Sam was scared, mostly for  Ariee! She just wanted Ariee to be okay and that this whole thing to affect her!

She went home after discussing and planning everything for when the criminals call her again. Sam was visibly tired, mentally and physically. Everyone could notice it, but she wanted to see her daughter with her and Mon again before she could rest!

She arrived home around noon. When she parked she noticed that both Irin and Jin's cars were there! They had spent half of their days supporting Sam and Mon during this difficult time. They were the best friends anyone could ask for. Sam took a deep breath and made her way inside her mansion. When she walked inside the living room Jin came running to her and hugged her tightly. She knew Sam needed that hug!
Jin; Did you eat? - worried
Sam; Yes, I did - she lied because Sam knew her friend would not leave her alone if she didn't-
Jin; I will believe you. Did you hear any news?
Sam; No - again she lied, but it was for a good cause. She wasn't going to risk anything. Sam trusted her friend but it was best if only she knew about tonight's plan to rescue Ariee!
Jin; I'm sorry - she hugged Sam again -
Sam; Thank you for being here - Sam gave her a sad half smile - Where's Mon?
Jin; Why did you lie to her Sam? - sighs - She believes that you found Reeree.
Sam; That was the only way I could get her to eat and move out of that room! - Sam sighs
Jin; This is so messed up, if she finds out the truth she will hate you!
Sam; She won't because you won't tell her right?
Jin: I won't but this doesn't mean what you are doing is right!
Sam; it's not the best option but I did the right thing! I'm doing the best for her!
Jin; This whole thing is a nightmare...- she sighs - How can you not have any leads yet? They are not acting quickly! Ariee might be in danger!
Sam; I know that Jin, she's my daughter. I'm literally in a panic even though you can't see it. I'm trying my best, I am! - tears were falling - I'm reaching everyone to find clues, I want her here with us! - Sam sat on the floor and let her tears fall. Jin hugged and sat next to her comforting her friend!
Jin; We will find her! - she wipes Sam's tears
Sam; Yes we will - Sam confidently got up and Jin look at her - I will need you Irin to be here with Mon later. I'm going to do something and it might take a while so I don't want her to worry!
Jin; What? - confused - All of a sudden?
Sam; Yes! I also need you to give her some sleeping pills now!
Jin; Sam wtf? Why? Why would I do that?
Sam: Just do as I said, please Jin! Don't ask too many questions just do it!
Jin; What are you planning to do? Is it something dangerous? Please talk to me...
Sam; Just do as I said Jin. It's best that you tell Mon that you didn't see me Just now.
Jin; what is going on Sam - worried and confused
Sam; Where's Mon right now?
Jin; With Irin upstairs, she woke up not too long ago. She's been asking for you!
Sam; It's best I leave now then! - Sam seemed like she was talking to herself-
Jin; Why would you leave now? You just got here? - Sam didn't answer she just kept thinking- Is it about Ariee? Do you know something?
Sam; I don't know anything! I'm going to go see the detective, now! -  nervous -
Jin; I have a feeling you know something!
Sam; Jin, please don't tell Mon that you saw me here! I'm going to leave now and I will text you later!
Jin; Please don't do anything stupid!
Sam; I won't, I promised! - Sam looked at Jin one more time before leaving!

She was going to get her daughter today! No one was going to stop her!
