Detective Jack Johnsons POV

Jack's mind was reeling.
He could not fathom how he didn't realise sooner!
How could his Leena and Rosalina Giovanni be the same person!?
How did he not notice?
This girl already owned his heart!
What was he to do?

🎵 A little ditty, about Jack & Diane,
2 American kids growing up in the heartland 🎵

"OhMyFu-"

"Is this Detective Johnson? Detective Jack Johnson?" The tinny voice on his phone cut him off.

"Yes. Speak." Jack snapped.

"I have some information that is pertinate to your investigation. And your personal life."
the deep gravelly voice came through the second time.

"Who the fūck is this? What are you on about?" Jack demanded.

"Nuh, Uh, Uh! Don't get too rude Jack. Your girlfriend could end up gone! Like magic!"

Jack paled instantly at the idea of losing Leena.
His mouth opened and closed a few times like a fish as he came to the realisation, that Leena had lied to him.

"What do you want?" Jack questioned the caller through gritted teeth.

The gravelly voice replied "It would seem, dear Detective, that Miss Rosalina isn't quite who you thi-"

Jack cut the voice off. "Who the fùck is this?! I'm telling you now, do not fúck with my shìt today! I know all about Rosalina! Who she is. Where she works. Who. Her. Family. Is. Back the fûck off!"
And with that, Jack hung up, and slammed the palms of his hands, down on the steering wheel.

How was he gonna handle this?

Then, before he could form a coherent thought on the matter, the silence was shattered by,

🎵 A little ditty, about Jack & Diane,

Jack groaned while rubbing a hand down his face.

"What?" Jack all but screamed.

"Is this Jack?" A soft, older Italian tainted voice asked.

"Speaking. May I ask who's calling?" Jack responded.

"My name is Aurora dear. I am Rosalina  and Matteo Giovannis mum. Jack, my Rosa is in trouble. Mattie found out some things, and well.." Aurora paused.

"What is it?" Jack asked quietly.

"Matteo is sending goons with guns here this morning. There are cameras and sensors on Rosa's door, just so he knows if she is there, and when she was last here? I got her out, gave her a weapon, money and a car... asked her to buy a burner phone, and then contact you. You must help her Jack. Please save Rosalina. Not just from her brother, but maybe herself, too." Aurora blurted out. "I have to go, my son will be here soon. Take care of her. Please Jack."

But before Jack could answer her, the call was disconnected.

Where was Rosalina??

ROSALINA'S POV

Rosalina parked in the underground Carpark of the Sydney Opera House, and decided to blend in with the tourists.

'What on Gods green earth am I supposed to do now?' Rosalina thought to herself as she walked the city's streets. Her hair blowing wildly in the wind, her posture slouched and hands stuffed deep into the pockets of the clothes she had put on only minutes before her entire life, no, world fell apart. UGH!
