I stopped eating when Shane received that call and I watched as his face turned pale. He dropped the phone and I knew right then that it was Joe and he had said something to make Shane tremble all over.

I had no idea what was happening in Shane's mind. I could only imagine the sense of fear and foreboding that he carried. I hated seeing him like this because he didn't deserve it and it moved me because I couldn't do anything about it. I felt helpless.

I held him for at least an hour until he calmed down.

"What did he say?" I asked again.

"He said he should have killed me a long time ago, that as long as he's out there I should always check behind me."

Joe needed help quickly. We needed to find him and end his deception. If I didn't do something right away, Shane wouldn't sleep. I gave him a mild sleeping tablet and while he dozed off, I contacted Edward.

"Hey, dad. What's up?"

"Joe."

"Please tell me he's been apprehended or found."

"He phoned about an hour ago. We don't know where he is, or whose phone he's using. He threatened Shane."

"How is Shane?"

"I've given him a sleeping tablet. He's dozing off right now."

"I'm coming over right now. Raw and me."

"It's okay, everything's under control. Just make sure you guys are safe. Joe's able to do anything. Phone me at once if he comes there."

"I'll tell Raw. Thanks, dad. Love you."

"Love you more."

I should have taken a sleeping tablet too because I couldn't sleep. Instead, I paced the lounge in silence. With the awards in New York coming up, I had to be bright and diligent.
