As I was looking around for Theodore, I was approached by a man who looked exactly like him, only that, it wasn't him. He whispered to me that if I didn't want anything to happen to Theo, I should follow him as he held a gun under his sweater on his arm against my back. I panicked. What could he have done to Theodore? I remained calm on the surface and followed him. We walked away from the crowd into a limo and drove off.

---------------------------------------------

Theodore woke up. Someone had used some form of chemical to knock him unconscious. He quickly made his way back to where he left Melanie Jayne and realized that she was not there. He panicked and started scanning the area. When he saw the person he never expected to see ever in his life looking at him over his shoulder, like he was saying goodbye while walking away with Melanie Jayne, he knew he had to to alert the family. Theodore wasted no time in running after Melanie Jayne and her kidnapper. He ran as fast as he could. He couldn't afford to lose her. 

--------------------------------------------

In the limo, I was told that the man who took me goes by the name Sebastian and that he was indeed, Theodore's twin. I was confused. Theodore said he was the reason his brother died. Could this be his brother back from the dead?

Seb: Do not be afraid, Melanie Jayne. I will not harm you.

MJ: I'm not afraid. I just wanna know what you want from me.

Sebastian had short hair that was neatly combed back and his green eyes were ever so slightly darker than Theo's. He looked exactly like his twin wearing a white shirt with a green sweater hanging from his shoulder. One look at him and you would think he had just come back from a country club.

Seb: I just want you to follow me. We are going on a trip.

MJ: Wow..... that sounds like fun....... (sarcastic) I don't have my passport on me......Just so you know......

Seb: You won't be needing it.

MJ: You know my family will come find me, right?

Seb: Yes. And I also know that you would like to meet the other half of your family......

MJ: My other half?

Seb: Your mother's side of the family. They are dying to meet you.

MJ: Wait......you know my mother? 

-----------------------------------------

Jean and Victor got into a limo and headed straight to the private airport. Victor was looking at the device Jean had given him with the tracker on Melanie Jayne. It was heading towards the airport, about an hour ahead of them.

Jean: I have already alerted the security at the airport. There is no way they would get onto an airplane out of here........(looks at Victor) Don't worry about her, Mr. Keel. She'll be fine.

Victor: How can I not worry? She's pregnant. How could she not tell me?

Jean: She has her reasons.....unless....she's unaware of it herself........

Victor: What do you mean unaware of it?

Jean: She won't keep this away from you, Mr. Keel. Especially if she's having your baby......

---------------------------------------

We arrived at the airport. Sebastian took my hand and walked us into a private jet. The jet was already up and running as though it was just waiting for us to get onboard for takeoff. I would have made a run for it if I wasn't curious about my mother. I was also not feeling so good so I couldn't fight Sebastian even if I wanted to.
