The sun spawned deep in the eastern mountains with it's  countless rays that spread throughout the city of Nelspruit and brought shadows in the western part. It's a new day and many people were looking forward to new things just like going back to work because the threat to the city was "Neutralized" , delusional they were thinking that everything is back to normal.

Just like the other days , it was the usual for the Simpson family another conflict on their minds but this time it was a truly tie breaking one as Samantha's parents were getting divorced. Miranda and her daughter returned from the hospital were they learnt that Samantha's old illness is resurfacing and could be more lethal than before. John stayed at the hospital after hearing the devastating news that not only his child is sick but his wife is also leaving him.

They arrived at their apartment , Miranda went straight to her bedroom, lied down on her bed  and drifted into the world of thoughts. Her tears resembled the pain she felt , doubt overflowed in her mind thinking that she made a mistake , she took a minute and imagined all the bad things John put them through and that changed her expression to a rather demonic one then a thread of thoughts of the little good times they had passed through her mind. In confusion and not knowing how to feel she burst out in anger and smashing everything in site.

Fear and pain reached Samantha after hearing her mother burst out in anger and breaking everything , she was afraid that she might hurt herself but couldn't go inside to help her because of fear.

" A mother is a person who takes all the pain , suffering and guilt but still manage to not to show her suffering because of everyone's happiness but she is also human , she may not show it sometimes but she also feel pain and suffering and also needs to be loved ." those words reached Samantha's ears . It was the words that were uttered by her late grandma.

She thought of what her mother has done for her and that includes divorcing her soulmate in order for her to be happy. She couldn't handle the guilt , she opened the door and ran for the hills. Miranda depleted her energy and lied down on the floor only to be interrupted by a knock , she stayed down thinking that Samantha will tend to the door but it was like hoping snow will fall on the desert. The person kept knocking and finally forced her to stand up and tend to the door.

She opened the door only to be filled with anger and disgust because she wasted her last reserve of energy just to opened the door for John , she banged the door and boy did the door love John's face . The door hit John in the face thus sending him crashing on the ground with his hands on his nose.

"Ouch ! that was totally uncalled for ! " he whined in pain with blood dripping from his suddenly pink-ish nose. He gathered himself up and knocked on the door again , a waste of energy it was because Miranda didn't even bother to even think of opening the door.

"Am just here for my clothes , please open up." he spouted trying to convince the angry Miranda to open the door for him and his prayers were heard and answered , the door gently opened up and John didn't waste time to greet because he knew that if he did , he would be saying goodbye to his belongings.

He rushed to his bedroom and encountered broken furniture all over the floor thus making it clear to him that his soon to be ex-wife is not taking the divorce matter very nice. He couldn't do anything from the position he was in except for packing his belongings and leave and he did just that and got ready to leave but even after the mistakes he has made he couldn't make a certain one , and that is to leave without saying goodbye to his daughter.

" Thanks for letting me take my stuff but can I please see Samantha so I can say a proper goodbye?" He pleaded , his  eyes were filled with tears that were ready to flow when triggered.

She showed mercy or maybe it was a way to ensure that John doesn't bother them anymore , she shouted her daughter's name but there was no answer. She went to Samantha's room to check up on her but she was welcomed by a flood of nothingness as she opened the door. That caused a great deal of worrying because her daughter left without saying and anything can happen to her.

"She is missing." words of unsureness and disbelief escaped Miranda's mouth , they raced into John's ears and spread nervousness throughout his body and made him reply in a perplexed manner.

" Sorry , what did you just say ? " for confirmation those were the aim of the words spouted by John in order to cure his perplexity.

" She is not in her room! she isn't in the house okay ! " a mother's love surfaced and caused Miranda pain because she didn't know were her offspring has wondered to.

"Wait up , what are you exactly saying to me Miranda?" it was all disbelief as John yet seeked confirmation from the mother of her child.

"She is gone okay ! She is not around , what do you want from me damnit!" a mixture of anger and sadness converge and forced Miranda to flip her lid , she couldn't handle the pain of not knowing where her child is and tolerating John's endless questions.

"You lost our child damnit ! You talk about me being a bad parent but here you are....." John's uttering would be disturbed by a huge kiss on the cheek from Miranda's palm.

"Don't you dare compare me with yourself! Here you are busy shouting while you should be calling the police or go look for your daughter like a man! I don't know how I got married to you." Miranda repliyed after slapping John , she got hold of the phone and notified the police about her daughter's disappearance.

Back at the station where they just received the call from Miranda saying that her daughter is missing , Lieutenant Sparks gathered few policemen and started a search party for Samantha.

"I might not have proof but am sure that Gerrard has something to do with this girl's disappearance ." the lieutenant recited to himself while making way to the car to join the search party.
