It's been 4 days since I got that message from the kidnappers or kidnapper. Tracing that number proved futile,the number apparently doesn't exist. I can't stop trying to figure out who this person is who manages to evade me and the police. He's really good at this,there's not a single thread of evidence found and no witness could be found.
"Hey cuz...... I found this on the doorstep"
Sbu walks into my office where I've spent most of these past 3 months trying to find Angie because being home kills me. She's carrying a brown envelope with my street name on it. I open it and I can't help but slightly smile at the sonogram.

"Aren't they beautiful though"
I say handing over the picture to Sbu ,I wipe away tears that I didn't even realise I was shedding. My phone suddenly rings. I press the answer button and put the phone on my ear...
"I'm guessing you got my gift Ghost. Hope you're ready to discuss business"
"I'm not discussing anything with you until I talk to Angie"
"Come on now Ghost,you're not in the position to be making demands but hold on for a few seconds"
I hear him move around and unlock what sounds like a door. I hear him call out to Angie. "What! Lorenzo!"
So Banks has my baby,it's so nice to hear her voice. He explains to her that he wants her to speak with someone on the phone,she reluctantly agrees.
"Hello"
"Oh baby it's so good to hear your voice"
She starts crying as soon as she hears my voice.
"Romeo?!"
"Don't cry Angie,just take care of my babies. I promise on my mother's grave I will find you guys"
"Don't make promises you can't keep now"
"What do you want Banks"
"Now we're talking. I want what's mine,what should have been mine when we killed Shaun"
"You went through all this trouble just to get her brothers businesses"
"It wasn't trouble actually,I've had the great pleasure of waking up to Angie everyday. Now that has been a life long dream"
"I promise I will kill you with my bare hands Banks!"
"16h00,come alone and don't be late"
He hangs up in my ear. Rick has been trying to trace his number while we talk. I have a little more hope now that I know who has her and that she's still alive. Hearing her voice was wonderful.
ANGIE
Hearing my Romeos voice again was great. It gives me some hope of leaving this room. I've been here for 3 months and Lorenzo hasn't done anything but slap me once when I tried fighting him but since he found out I'm with child he's been caring.
Lorenzo has treated me well since we discovered I'm expecting,he locks me up in this room daily,only opening up for the doctor or food. I guess him having a thing for me is good. My skin yearns for the sun and my lungs yearn for the air outside though. This room has really small windows and the air isn't enough. My isolation room door opens up and an old lady walks in.
"Mr Banks would like you to join him for lunch"
"Hi and who are you"
"Hi,I'm the lady who keeps his house clean and cooks and I'm not allowed to talk to you. I was just sent to bring you downstairs"
"So he wants me to come downstairs?"
"Yes mam"
I change into a maternity top and leggings since I was only wearing a t-shirt. I was shocked to discover Lorenzo still had people working for him,from what I remember, he fired everyone because he trusts no one.
"Betty thank you,you can leave now"
The old lady looks at me hesitant to leave. I smile at her trying to reassure her that I'll be fine. Lorenzo looks at her and she scurries out the door.
"Is someone driving her home ?"
"No,she lives down the street"
"Oh..."
"Yeah... so I let you come down today because,you and the babies will be leaving today"
I look at him not believing a word he says,these guy has kept me here for 3 months,just for his pleasure as he always says. What will make him decide to let me go.
"Don't look at me like that Angie,don't you believe. I don't want to let you go but a deal is a deal and when Romeo gets here and gives me what belongs to me,you and the 3 musketeers can go home"
"Ok"
"Ok?! Is that all you can say?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"A thank you would be nice?"
"Thank you"
I say nonchalantly
He looks at me and sighs and continues dishing up for us. He puts the food in front of me. I can't help but salivate at the sight before me, a plate of ribs with mashed potatoes and a side of vegetables. I eat up when there's suddenly a knock on the door.
"Our guest is here"
He stands up rubbing his hands like birdman with a stupid from on his face,this guy disgusts me. I continue eating not paying attention to him. Till a familiar voice calls my name..
"Angie!"
"Romeo"
I try standing up from the table,to run into the arms of the one I love and the triplets start moving around frantically but Lorenzo stops me before I can even lift my ass off the seat.
"No,business first,love making later"
"Lorenzo can I just hug him please,I promise to go upstairs after"
I practically beg him with tears in my eyes. I've longed for Romeos touch for months.
"Angie please don't beg,just take your food and go to your room"
"Banks come on man"
"I don't think she should sit in for about what we are about to discuss Gh/ I mean Romeo"
