Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chaprer Forty-Five

It has been 7 hours and we have not heard any news about her disappearance.

I am uneasy and unable to concentrate.

William stayed here with me as Kate went back to get George and William’s got an idea that the three of us should just stay in one apartment, just in case that Carmela isn’t behind this or in case that Carmela wants to get us too.

I was lying down the bed trying to track Allana’s iPhone with the use of her iPad. And I still don’t have any luck.

I have convinced myself to think positively, Allana just went out to visit Katarina’s grave or to visit Brad.

But I scratched the idea that she went out to visit Brad because he just called worried sick about Allana.

I did think that she was with her father but he called me and asked if there are any news about her disappearance.

I don’t know why, but my gut tells me that Carmela is behind this.

We all know that she tried killing Allana before, like, the first one, from years ago, Abbey Road accident, the one that killed Jack Lahey and caused his girlfriend, Shaina Hale to commit suicide, after that, Allana’s respirator was turned off, later described by Allana and Brad told her that she just described Carmela, then Allana’s miscarriage, then the allergens through the AC, to sum it all up, I therefore conclude that my half-sister-in-law( Carmela is Allana’s half-sister) tried and still tries to kill my wife.

I was browsing through the pictures in Allana’s iPad, half of the photos were photos of the two of us, and the other half were the family photos, I can see that Allana and Carmela are pretty close, and I can also see that the three of them are pretty close, so I cannot see why Carmela would do such things to Allana.

I sat up and went to the closet, and looked for Allana’s photo albums, she keeps them there for a reason that I do not know.

I found the albums and scanned through them, and I see no signs of Carmela. She isn’t in them! They are full of Allana and Brad.

Past to present, the only photos of Carmela in Allana’s album was Allana’s personal compilation of our wedding.

Does Allana hate Carmela?

I’m confused.

Maybe Carmela just doesn’t like photos.

Okay, I think only Allana could answer that.

I was browsing through Allana’s high school pictures, and she told me before that she joined competitions, and never told me that she won every single one of them! Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Math Quiz Bee, you name it!

If she hadn’t had the accident before and if she hadn’t married me, she’ll be in Harvard, using the scholarship that she earned.

Although, she was already a doctor before she did her doctorate thesis for Harvard, her doctorate thesis is compulsary as you enter Harvard.

Wow, I know I should be worried about her now, which I am, and I am looking for clues, if we have a child or two after all of this Carmela fiasco, I want them to have her brains, her charm and her beauty. That would be amazing.

I was looking at the albums for about 3 hours, and by now, Allana is 10 hours missing, and William came up to tell me, that within 2 hours, if Allana does not come back, we go international news.

" So that Carmela will know that we are hunting them down. " William said.

" I think we should take William Bassingthwaighte in to custody, he might know something that we don’t. "

" Oh, he does know something that we don’t. "

" I think he’s hiding Carmela. "

" Yeah, maybe he is. I think he’s also funding Carmela. "

" If anything happens to Allana, I want to charge him too. "

" Of course, we’ll charge him."

" Does father know?"

" Yeah, he’s the one who suggested and told me to go international. "

" Okay, do we have to release official statements?" 

” No. Not until the first 48 is up. Then we release statements. “

I nodded.

I told William everything that I found out and by the time we finished, Allana is officially missing for 11:59:59 hours.

12 hours.

Allana has been missing for 12 hours.

Where the hell will I find her?

Then I went down to see if anything has happened.

" Anything?" I asked.

Austin shook his head.

" As of now, Allana has been incognito. The GPS tracker of her phone seems to be turned off or the phone has been dead or the phone has been shot." Austin said.

" Any other GPS trackers?" I asked

" The security button, but the GPS will only send any distress calls if she steps or crushes it. " Austin answered.

" And you’ll be able to trace it?" I asked.

" Yes. "

" Well, I hope that she crushes it now. "

" Let’s just hope that she will. "
