Unbroken Promises (Book Two)

Chapter 37 - The Boss Demands

ZAC POV

After I explained every detail to the police officers including Andrew they decided to stay until we heard from the kidnappers. They wired tapped our phones and put tracking device in my car just in case.

I already have Mr. Benson as the primary suspect since he threatened us this afternoon.

"Follow him wherever the hell he is going! I don't care how! Where! Just find that son of a bitch!" I demanded.

I left them and found my wife in the nursery. Sherry referred to me that Shannen hasn't stop crying and refuses to leave the room. I'm thankful even though they had misunderstanding she helped her while Shannen tried to be civil family. My wife is still sobbing when I came in.

"Did they call again? Where are they? What do they want? When can we see the kids? How are they?" Her tired and fluffy eyes stared at me.

"They haven't called yet." I held her.

"Please find our kids Zac... please." My wife clung on my shirt tightly.

"I will babe... I will... I promise..." I cooed her.

I hugged and try to calm her down until she falls asleep. I can't bear to see her like this but I can't do anything. I'm afraid her post traumatic stress syndrome will go back.

We need to find our kids and my mother! I want to find him and I don't know how long I was up and exhausted and fell asleep. It was around 6:15 when my phone starts ringing.

(PHONE CONVERSATION)

Caller:       Is this Zac? (The voice is familiar but I can't pinpoint)

Me:             Hello! Yes this is me. Tell me, what do you want? (I spat)

I have to buy time for about three minutes so we will know their location.

Caller:       Our Boss wants to relay some nice message for you. (He announced flatly)

Me:             Where is your boss? I want to talk to him!? (I can see the police signalling me to go on)

Caller:       Obviously he is busy as of the moment so I am the one talking to you. (His sarcastic replied)

Me:             Where are my children and my mother? What have you done with them? (I started to get aggravated)

Caller:       You mean the brats? They are too adorable for my liking. (Another man's voice this time)

Me:             If you ever harm my kids or my mother I will kill you!! (I'm way beyond negotiable now)

Caller:       I only follow orders to my Boss. By the way make sure you're at the office in an hour or you will regret it. (He threatened)

Me:             I'll be there!! Just don't touch them. (I respond without even                thinking)

Caller:       I will call exactly 8 in the morning and don't bring cops!! Are we clear? (He ordered)

Me:             Deal! (The line went dead)

(END OF PHONE CONVERSATION)

We failed to get the location since it was a very short call. I know my wife heard the conversation so there is no need to sugar coat everything.
