Dylan's POV
"How the hell did that happen?" I yelled at my dad's den. Gathered there was all of our assigned guards, my father and Dan. Andrea was kept out of the loop and was taking care of little Alyssa. Ashley fortunately wasn't awoken by the phone call, she must have been really exhausted.
The assigned guards for Mikey filched in fear... just wait when Ashley found our about this. They'll be hiding under their mother's skirt! Their task was simple, drop him to school, wait outside and send him home. How the hell did he managed to kidnap our son in their presence!
"Answer me damn it!" I yelled again. My voice echoed throughout the whole room.
"It was his Math teacher." Dan replied for them. "He was Mikey's Math teacher, Mr. Waltzman. You have met him last parent's day. That's why he was so familiar."
An image of a man with a neatly cut hair and eyeglasses began to flood my memories. Mikey liked that teacher, her was fond of Math and so he was happy to learn new things from him. I have never though of him to be the bad guy. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. CCTV footages showed him taking the unconscious Mikey on the car. Apparently, Mikey wasn't feeling well while in his class. As the teacher, he brought Mikey to the nurse's clinic. He then told the nurse that he'll give Mikey to his guard to take him home." Dan explained.
"It was then when he took him." I completed for her.
"Yes. His car was parked at the backside of the school. Fortunately, there's camera everywhere."
"How the hell did he slipped from the monitor. I'm sure he was seen in them." I questioned. The incompetence of someone brought the life of my child in danger.
Dan sighed before he respond. "He was banging someone in the monitor room. That's why."
"Fuck! I want him fired!"
"The principal already did." The school Mikey was going to was one of the most prestigious and supposed to be secure school in the state. It houses most of the very important people's child including the president's child. I'm sure they would want to cover this up but I'll make sure they'll pay for their incompetence.
"Why wasn't Waltzman or Cook or Alistair or whatever his name was checked by the school." Now it was beginning to be clear. He planned this all. He disappeared and reappeared with new identify. But why now? If he wanted money we'll give him money. What the hell does he want.
"Apparently, the previous Math teacher suddenly disappeared. They needed quick replacement because it was nearing the end of the semester and there's a lot of things to do. They liked his performance so they regularized. They forgotten to check again." The poor previous Math teacher must have been dead by now. It's the only way he could get snaked his way in. It's a pity for Mikey liked him so much.
For someone like him to plan something so thoroughly like this, something must have triggered him. But what? And why did he took so long to make a move. In his birth certificate, it was stated that he was two years older than us.
Then it hit me. "Dan... does he have any connection with The Snake?"
She shook her head. "No Dy, nothing conclusive. There was also no link between them. He wasn't even lived in this state. There was no way it was The Snake." She then closed her eyes to think. "Or I missed something and they managed to find each other."
We have never found her body. She was declared dead but until she was found, she'll continue to live in our mind. Both her presence and absence haunted us. "Dad? Have you found him yet?" I then looked at my dad.
