"RAYMOND PLEASE JUST HEAR ME OUT!!" Alyssa screamed. Her and Raymond were back to arguing over the same thing they'd been arguing over since the family dinner.

"Alyssa there's nothing to hear! You've been communicating with the man who kidnapped our daughter! Do you know how much pain I felt within those few days!? I didn't know what happened to her, where she was, SHE COULD'VE DIED ALYSSA! And you're acting all buddy buddy with the man who caused our family so much pain. There's nothing you can say"

"But Raymond—."

"Alyssa just be quiet. I'm not in the mood to argue with you tonight. I will stay at a hotel for tonight, I know you're probably tired of sleeping on the couch"

"Raymond No! Please don't leave me. I'm sorry but I had no choice!" She let slip

"What do you mean you had no choice?"

"Well I might as well tell you now, the only reason I've been communicating with Sean was to protect Amber."

"Tell me everything"

Alyssa gets comfortable, and gets ready to tell her husband everything. She took a deep breath preparing to tell him everything. Alyssa loves Raymond way to much to let this come between them. She knew that he was the love of her life,the man she wanted to grow old with. That's why she married him in the first place.

"Alright so it started about 7 months ago"

After leaving work, Alyssa had decided that she'd cook steak and potatoes for dinner. It was Raymond's favorite and she'd gotten a sudden craving for it. So after deciding that she'd make it, she took a quick detour to the store so that she could get all the ingredients needed for steak and potatoes.

After grabbing her cart, Alyssa began to make her rounds around the store. She knew she wanted to make Asparagus in addition to the steak and potatoes so that's what she started to look for so that she wouldn't forget it.

*Ding*

When Alyssa heard that she had gotten a text, she stopped her cart so that she could take a quick look at it. She automatically noticed the text was from an unknown number.

(382)-647-8236: Alyssa,Alyssa,Alyssa. You thought you were done with me didn't you? You work for me now, and if you think you can get out of this, you're sadly mistaken. Tell anyone about this and I'll do something to Amber not even your worst nightmares could imagine. We're closer than you think .

After reading this text Alyssa's mind immediately went to Sean but quickly dismissed the thought because Sean was in jail,and had no access to a smart device.

Suddenly Alyssa's breathing became uneasy and her heart began to beat fast. She didn't know who could possibly be texting her, and was scared for her entire family's lives. She didn't know what they meant by "we're closer than you think" and that scared her. She knew that it could be anyone so she began to look around the store.

When seeing that almost everyone around the store were on their phone,Alyssa's heart began to beat even faster, and her breathing became even more uneasy. She became paranoid and couldn't take it anymore so she grabbed her purse, and headed out the store as fast as she could leaving all of her groceries in the cart.
