The bigger the better

Revenge

Days went by without any sign from Stevie. Lindsey grew more and more frustated while Carlie and Matt were even more motivated to find her. While Lindsey was out for some Ice Cream shopping with the kids, Carlie and Matt wer at Matt's house to find more hints where Stevie could be. 

"Ugh there has to be something!" Carlie said frustrated while going through some papers. 

"Well......"

"Well what?" 

"Uhm we haven't searched in the basement but....I think I should go there alone"

"Why?"

"It's...scary I hate that basement" 

Carlie began to laugh. "Come on yellowbelly let's go"

Matt went ahead to turn on the lightswitch downstairs.

"Uhm...Carls.....you really should stay upstairs"

"Ugh Matt I'm not afraid of big spiders or so" She said while she went downstairs. "I mean I have siblings and-"

She stood there in shock. They could see a dresser with candles on it and many many photos of Stevie. 

"Oh...my...God.....those Photos....he...he observed her all the years.....I....I think I'm going to be sick....." Carlie ran upstairs while Matt studied all of the photos. Most of them seemed to be taken out from a hiding spot. Slowly he went to the dresser and opend it. What was inside was even more shocking.

"That sick bastard....." 

Meanwhile

Stevie watched her video diary every day and it was hard to act normal towards Don. One day she went out for shopping although Don told her not to leave the house. 

Maybe I can remember something If I go out. She thought, but that was not the case. 

Everything seems so unfamiliar to me....I can't remember one tiny bit...Ugh that totally sucks! Remember something!!

She was deep in her thoughts when an old lady spoke to her. 

"Excuse me...? My english not very good but are you lady from this house there?" The old lady pointed to the house. 

"Eh...yes, yes I am" 

The old lady smiled. "My name is Maria I'm your neighbour"

"Oh hello" Stevie smiled back. 

"I wanted introduce myself to you as you are pretty new here in area"

"W-what?....Uhm there must be a mistake we are living here since.......well I don't know but my husband told me we are living here since a long time."

Maria laughed. "You funny, no no no you two live here since 2 months not more. I'm not thaaaat curious usually but you two moved in during night."

Stevie just stood there in total shock. Who is this man? Is it even my husband?

"Is everything ok signora?" 

Stevie just nodded. "Yes....thank you it was nice talking to you but I have to go home now" 

Maria smiled and nodded. "Ci vediamo"

Stevie ran to the house. Okay act cool Stevie, pack your stuff and leave!

But she didn't even came to the bedroom because Don waited in the living room, in his hands the camera. 

"Did you really thought that you'll get through with this?" 

"Uhm...Don...h-hey...I was just...."

"You were outside, I'm not dumb! I told you not to go outside!" He grabbed her hair. 

"Stop it you're hurting me!" 

"I didn't hurt you enough in the past!!" He slapped her in the face before he let go of her. He grabbed the camera again, smashed it to the ground and stomped on it. He took the memory card and tossed it outside. "I can play this game to."

"Who are you?" She said ,crying.

"Well I'm not your husband ...yet, at the moment I'm just an old friend who took you away from your family."

"You sick bastard! They'll find me!!!"

"Oh will they? hmm yeah probably" He kissed her and whispered in her ear. "Then they'll only find our corpses" 

Meanwhile

Matt still couldn't believe what he saw there. There was a picture of Stevie and Don when they were pretty young, and Stevie was obviously pregnant. It seemed that Don drew a skull over the belly and there was red paint, at least he hoped it was paint, on the photo. He swallowed and found other photos where Stevie was with Lindsey and the children. All of them were marked with red paint except of Stevie. He took the photos and looked at the backside. One word was written with the red paint on all of the photos. 

Revenge

Matt decided not to tell Carlie and Lindsey yet, Carlie because it would probably harm the baby and Lindsey was already a wreck. 

"Are you feeling better?" He asked Carlie.

She nodded, "yes....sometimes I forget that I'm pregnant" 

"You'll soon remember that when you can't see you feet anymore" She laughed. 

"Did you found anything downstairs?"

"Eh no...there was nothing in the dresser...come on let's get out of here and grab something to eat hm?" 

"KFC?"

"Sure" He smiled and both went home after grabbing some food at KFC.

Lindsey was in a pretty good mood when the phone rang. 

"Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Buckingham?" 

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Well here's the police department in Milano, Italy....I'm sorry Mr.Buckingham but we have to tell you that we found the corpse of your wife."
