Dedicate this chapter to my lovely Busted Chin Abby, whose been patiently awaiting my updates. Also, I just want to torture with the suspense and twists. Enjoy boo. 😙💕 [ thisisllamas57 ]

Lorena's mother was talking with the private detective, asking about their options. The 24 hour waiting to report a missing persons case, had ceased, and they immediately filed. Lorena's house was being under investigation, every room lookin everywhere for any finger prints or anything else that can be used for DNA samples. Tyler told them about Kathy, but Kathy claimed she hadn't spoken to Lorena since the day after homecoming. Kathy had missed school those couple of days due getting sick.

Tyler didn't believe a word of it. But ironically, her mother confirmed her sickness and even had a doctors notes. The police and detectives were going to pass over her, an alibi and clear evidence shown, but Tyler asked them to still be watching her. That scornful yet smirked expression she gave Tyler before leaving the interrogation room, said it all. Kathy knee something. And she was refusing to tell.

Tyler read over the note multiple times. Hide and Seek? Whoever kidnapped her, he could only assumed her shooter, was toying with him. Probably wanting to make him jump through so many hoops just to play with his mind. He received a text message from an unknown number, and dreaded to look at it. He's seen the movies where the mysterious messenger messages some texts relating to whatever the issue was. He just never thought it would happen to him.

Unknown #: Well, well, you wasted no time to tattle-tale. That was your first mistake. What should we should we do to your poor defenseless Lorena?

Tyler widened his eyes and was about to respond, but another message popped up.

Unknown #: Maybe cutting her or having one of our assistant play with her. She gives quite the show.

And another.

Unknown #: No respond? Don't you want to play? Come on. Let's see if you can find her.

Tyler: Who are you!?

Unknown #: When you find her, you'll find me. Your first clue: the day where it all began. You have until the end of today to figure it out. If not, then maybe a few more stab wounds would look nice. If you're smart, you wouldn't tattle-tale.

Lorena felt the blood escape from the stab wound around her stomach, almost near the same place as her wound from the bullet. Her wrists burned and bruised red from the handcuffs wrapped tightly to the bedpost. She could feel the dry semen on her inner thighs and the bruises formed along her hips and neck. When those men came in after Kathy left, they tortured, toyed, and raped her. They showed no mercy, all taking a turn and going back for the occasionally seconds. Even thirds.

She felt agonizing pain all over her body and she felt as if she could cry no more tears. It's only been two days since she was taken from her home, and it was pure torture. Was has she done to be punished like this? Kathy entered the bedroom, interrupting Lorena's thoughts. The blanket that barely covered her bare body was lifted up, and Kathy smiled. Lorena gave her such a disgusted look. "They really made a mess, didn't they?" The blanket was tossed back onto her body.

"Kathy, why? Why are you doing this?" Her voice cracked. Kathy turned her back to the girl and felt her anger begin to boil up. "Why? Why!? You still have no idea do you!? And they called you the smart one." Kathy cackled. She turned around briskly and stared in scorn. "You took away everything from me! You took all the popularity for yourself, everything was always about you! So I teamed up with somebody, who I'm sure you'll remember, to end you. But no! Instead you survived and gained everything! Tyler was supposed to be mines, not yours!"

Kathy was screaming while tears cascaded down her face. "K-Kathy, you need help.." Lorena tried to argue. "I don't need help! I need revenge!" Kathy grabbed a large knife from the drawer in the bedroom. "I don't think I'll wait for him to show up. I should just do the world a favor now and end you." As Kathy raised the knife up high, her body jerked and fell to the floor. The deafening shot banged throughout the room. Lorena looked up, and saw a man, who she hope was Tyler.

As the mans face came into clear view, he immediately recognized him. The same eyes, same features, the same everything. Just like the man... who shot her...

"Dad.."
