PREVIEW:
Chapter 1
In a remote corner of the hospital, there sat Alice.
Alone and in despair, Alice had lost the ability to feel anymore.
No one had come to talk to her. No one cared. She
was just some woman sitting alone on the cold hospital floor.
To the outside world, Alice was just another
grieving family member. To Alice, the outside world was just a passing blur.
Time had the ability to transform despair into
guilt. Minutes passed. Hours had gone by. Lily was still in surgery and Alice's
mother was still missing.
It's
all my fault!
I
got them into this!
Alice bit on her lips hard. She thought she tasted
some blood.
Who
am I to dream?
I
am just a plaything for Gordon.
Eva
was right, he would never fall for me.
We
are like bugs in their eyes. They can crush our hearts and lives all too
easily.
Dear
God, please just let me go back to the way it was before.
I
don't need anyone else. I just want my mom back...
Alice clenched hard on the cell phone Gordon had
given her, a drop of tear landed on the phone.
Alice wanted to hold on.
She really really did.
But the harsh realities left her with no choice but
to let go.
Alice closed her eyes; she allowed her last drop of
tear to fall and to land on the cell phone.
Goodbye
Gordon, Alice could almost hear the whisper of her inner
voice...
Chapter 2
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, Alice's fingers twitched.
"Ring..."
The annoying sound of the cell phone demanded
immediate attention.
The cell phone Alice got from Gordon had suddenly
come alive. Someone was trying to reach Alice.
Could
it be from Gordon?
The caller ID yielded no useful information.
The phone call stunned Alice. She allowed the phone
to ring for a couple more times.
She had already given up hope. It would be hard for
anyone to just shift her mood around so quickly and so easily.
But,
what if it is from Gordon?
What
if he has come to my rescue after all?
The flame of hope burned brightly again inside
Alice.
As it turned out, the ember of love and hope was
always there.
Alice looked at the phone.
She smiled. She was sure the phone call was from
Gordon.
Better
late than never.
Oh
Gordon!
Alice felt relieved.
She laughed.
Alice's smiles turned into relief laughter.
There were also tears in her eyes.
Thank God, Alice was alone by herself. The onlookers
surely would have thought Alice was a crazy woman. One minute she was crying as
though the world had just ended. The next minute she acted as though she was
the happiest woman in the universe.
Alice picked up the phone call. She could not wait
to hear Gordon's sweet voice again.
"Alice Jennings, what are you willing to give
up so you can get your mother back?" The voice was slow and deliberate. It
was also a man's voice.
"What?!
Gordon?"
"Alice Jennings, we have your mother. What are
you willing to give up so you can get her back?"
It's
definitely not Gordon. Alice almost dropped the phone. It
was from her mother's kidnappers.
A chill just went up Alice's spine. The harsh
reality just became harsher.
Calm
down Alice. Think.
What
should I do?
What
can I do to get my mom back?
Alice glanced around the hospital hallway, hoping to
see the sheriff.
"Do you want your mother back or not?"
"Yes, yes I do!"
"Then you will do exactly as I say. Right now,
you are the only one who can help your mother. Do exactly as I say; then we'll
let your mother go."
"Wait, I need to know she's ok."
"She's ok, for now."
"No! Put her on the phone. I need to speak to
her."
"You don't need to speak to her. We'll take you
to her. Go to the corner of Cedar and Lake Street. Be there in exactly five
minutes. Come alone."
"Wait!"
Alice tried to find out more; but the phone went
silent.
Who
are these people?
Do
they work for Eva Lancaster?
Did
they stage the traffic accident?
How
do they know I survived the accident?
Are
they watching me right now?
He
said they would take me to my mom. So maybe it is me they want after all...
What
can I do?
Five
minutes...
There's
hardly enough time!
Oh
Dear God, what should I do!
I
can't even go to the police...
Before, time passed like a blur. Now, Alice did not
even have a second to waste.
She had to make a decision and she had to make it
now.
