"Chad, calm down." His mother got a seat and planted him in it.

"What the hell is happening?" Chad felt dizzy.

"Oh My Goodness, Gerek someone has kidnapped Ariana!"

"What?" Chad's father dropped his newspaper and Chad saw a side of his father he had never seen before. His father picked up his phone immediately and tapped into it.

Meanwhile, Trisha continued to speak into the camera.

"Hi Chad? How is your money filled life today? Perfect right? Isn't it always? I'm suffering Chad. I'm crazy. But you know what Chad, I have many secrets. And my secrets have made me go crazy and I've got no humanity left. You want to save your sister? Go to the place where this all began." The screen went black.

"Okay..." Chad's father spoke into his phone then repeatedly nodded then hung up : "Chad, I need you to calm down, the police will be here soon."

They stood in front of the park Chris Otoño had met Mac Murray and Chad read out the note in his hands.

"'If you're looking for the adopted one, you'll find it bound by sheets in the Chamber of Secrets.' She's in her basement." Chad folded the paper.

"How do you know?" The police officer asked as Chad entered the blue and black patrol car hurriedly. 

"She always used to tell me how if she ever killed anyone, she would bury them in her basement - It would be her little Chamber Of Secrets."

"And you didn't bother to admit her to a psychiatrist?" The officer said as her started the car and drove to her house.

Once they got there, Chad got down from the car and was about to run into the house when the officer dragged him back.

"We have to go over the plan-"

"Figure something out." Chad pulled away and ran into the house.

The sound of tires screeching came from above.

"Oh! He's here!" Trisha smiled at Ariana and went to peek out of the window on her tip - toes : "Oh Ariana, I wish you could see this honestly. Your brother is running! I didn't know he could do that."

"Yeah well, better look well, you'll never see him again after this - heck you wont see anyone again Trisha." Ariana spat.

"Shut up. My name is not Trisha. It's Chris. Watch your mouth." Trisha walked up to Ariana and pulled up a chair and sat on it. "You've got a gun pointed at your head remember?" She pushed the gun at her to prove her point.

"Shoot me. Do it princessa." Ariana glared at her. 

"Don't tempt me."

"If you could do it you would have already."

"Then what leverage would I have for your brother?"

"You don't need leverage. He's already coming."

Trisha stood up and tied a piece of cloth around Ariana's mouth : "It's time for you to shut up."

They were rude. All of them. Every single Mackenzie was rude - mouthed and spoilt. They needed to be taught a lesson. But first Chad had to be safe. Because he loved her, and she loved him. Didn't he? So she had to secure that first.

"Ariana!" She heard her lovers voice ring from upstairs and his footsteps sound heavily on the stairs.

It was time.
