“Cal where is Rufi? Maria said breathlessly.
“What?”
“Look for Rufi!” she screamed
Oh! If she wanted to know if Rufi got back safely no fuss but, why yell?
“Bring it down Maria, She’s somewhere around”
“She has be abducted” she snapped
“Abducted?” unbelievable “Rufi?” but the police me who stood outside the hall looked as though something just struck them.
Could it be true? W.w-hat…..”
“I can’t explain now Cal, but I tell you someone just kidnapped Rufi….. Look for her….. They….might still be around”
“Ok” was all Callie managed to say as her brain went into overdrive.
Rufi? Kidnapped? When? How?
She followed the police men wondering how Rufi’s kidnapper escaped the security.
“Rufi?,Rufi!” they called hoping somehow they would find her.
Callie stopped when she saw Rufi’s mobile on the floor.
“Don’t” one policeman told her as she bent to pick it” there might be prints on it”
“No need for that Timothy, its Diana Lopez” Another man said joining them.
“Diana?” goodness gracious! “How come?” Callie fell against the wall
Was Diana going to kill Rufi?
Destroy Ivan?
Ivan would die if anything happened to Rufi. Callie wouldn’t forgive herself either.
“Did anyone followed them? Police?”
“No, we found out almost at the same time you did”
How did they pass security?
Why didn’t Rufi fight?
Rufi does not have it in her blood to succumb to threats. What happened?
Ana-Blaire. That’s what happened.
She called Maria.
“Did you find them? …. Were you able to stop them?"
“No”
“They took her” Maria stated defeated.
“We’ll find her” alive she prayed. “Tell me what happened."
Maria explained how she’d gone to pick Ana-Blaire from school at the usual time -30 minutes after closing because the police said it was safer when the crowd reduced, that way they’d be able to see any strange act from the other side of the school where they stood.
Ana-Blaire was said to be at the playground so Maria went to fetch her. She was shocked to find Ana-Blaire with a guy laughing, once Ana-Blaire saw her though she picked her bag and ran towards her auntie only to be stopped midway by the guy she’d been laughing with, with a gun placed at her temple. He ordered Maria not to move an inch either forward or backward or he’ll kill them both.
“The ball is in Rufi’s court” he told them he then placed a call “all set”
Ana-Blaire during those times knew the gravity of their situation and co-operated even though she’d gone pale.
About five minutes later he got a call to let them go.
“Smart woman, smart kid” he said as he lowered his gun and released Ana-Blaire “it would have been a waste to kill you” he said with mock seriousness before disappearing.
It did not take Maria a second to figure out someone had Rufi and had used Ana-Blaire to threaten her. That someone is Diana.
She knew.
Now Rufi is missing.
