The Comeback

I laid on my bed looking up at the ceiling. A month has gone by and I still haven't heard anything about Rosalin. I hope she knows that I'm not giving up. I know she's alive because I can feel it. I look at my clock and its 9:00 pm. I'm restless and bored without her around. Maybe I should go see if there's crime.
Before I could get out of my bed, my phone started ringing. It was an unknown number. To make things worse, my house phone began to ring from the same number also. This is odd I thought. So I answered my cell phone instead of my landline. I tried to disguise my voice, but that didn't work so well.
"Hello, who is this?" I asked. "I'm back my friend. I think you've created a monster. The things it's done. You've done well. But it's under our control now. We'll be the strongest there is." The mysterious voice said. "This better not be a child playing a prank." I said annoyed. The person laughed. "It's not a prank Jacob. I'm just telling you that we're grateful for your contribution." The stranger then hung up.
How uneasy I thought. This person knew my name and both of my numbers. Have I made another enemy. I hope not. Before I could leave for patrol, my house phone rang again. I decided not to answer this call so I just left. I walked around my neighborhood looking for people doing things they shouldn't be. It was quiet though. I've walked around for two hours and found no kind of criminal activity. So I decided to go back home.
I open the door to my house and what I see brought me to tears. Rosalin was standing there. She either escaped or he let her go. I didn't care about which one, I'm just glad she's okay. I searched her body and checked to see if I could find scars. I found nothing. She was clean and unharmed. I gave her the biggest hug ever.
"I'm so glad you're safe!" I told her while holding her tightly. She slowly wrapped her arms around me and gently squeezed. "Did you stop looking?" She asked me. I could hear her voice begin to crack. I walked her over to my calendar on the wall and pointed to all the days she was missing. For a whole month, each day,I searched a different neighborhood. "No, I never stopped looking." I told her. She was crying softly. I could only embrace her. I took her to the bedroom and we held each other and fell asleep.
When I woke up,I jumped out of bed and looked around my room. I had to make sure that last night wasn't a dream. I didn't see Rosalin in the bed. So I checked the rest of the house, but she was nowhere to be found. I guess it was a dream I began thinking. Then I heard the lock on the door click. Rosa just wandered on in with groceries. She looked at me, gave me an innocent smile, and said "I decided that we celebrate today." I was filled with joy that this was my reality again. I called up Jones to tell him the good news.
"Hello, Jacob hey man how's it going? You ever find Rosalin yet? You need a friend over to help comfort you in your time of trouble? Don't worry you don't gotta answer, I'll be there in a hour." He had a conversation with himself and hung up before I could say anything. No worries, he's gonna see for himself that my soon to be wife is back.
Knock knock knock knock....Knock knock. I heard the knocking and opened the door. It was Jones, and he was here at my house in an hour exactly with ice cream. Talk about punctual I thought to myself. He let him inside my house and he stopped about 5ft in. I noticed that he saw Rosalin in the kitchen cooking. His facial expression changed from happy to disappointed. It was odd.
"Say Jacob,I forgot that I have a thing today I can't stay. You guys keep the ice cream. And now you have to be my partner." He said in this flat monotone voice. He then walked out after saying all that. "Is everything okay over there sweetie? Rosa asked. "I'm not sure,I guess so." I replied. She stopped cooking and came over to see the door closing. "Who was that." She said, instead of asking. "It was Jones, he just stopped by to give us some ice cream." I told her. She took it and put it in the freezer then got right back to cooking.
I have a feeling that today's gonna be a good day. I couldn't ask for more. I thought. I looked at Rosa and she looked comfortable and peaceful. It was highly refreshing to see the smile on her face again.
