Jasmine's POV
Well incase anyone cared or bothered to ask, I'm chillin' here. No, of course I'm not fine, I HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED, yeah that's right, KIDNAPPED. And its soooo boring out here, I mean literally the only thing I do all day is stare at the four walls of the empty space I'm enclosed in, and trust me, its nerve racking, sitting here all day, listening to foot steps, waiting for someone to open my door, anticipating my next food.... yes, the food. How could I forget, the food here is amazing, I know you may be thinking what if it's poisoned, but duh who cares? Its bad enough that I have to sit here all day doing nothing, I'm not going to start starving myself because of the possibility of the food being poisoned. Besides, if they wanted to kill me in the first place, why would they go through the stress of kidnapping me and not just, I don't know, put a bullet in my head or something.
After what seemed to be forever, the little space above the door knob where they normally use to pass my food in clicked, and hungry me already anticipating the sweet aroma was quite disappointed when instead of a tray, my eyes met another pair of black eyes that gazed back at me fiercely, and the next minute, a voice rang out "open the door" and then I started sweating.
Henry's POV
The front door shook heavily as it rammed against it's hinges like it was going to fall off. It was followed almost immediately by the violent sound of the door bell, who was it this early in the morning? I looked beside me, Rach was still asleep, sometimes I admire her ability to stay asleep even if there's an earthquake, as long as it doesn't get to her, she's good to go. Slowly, I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth, at this point, I really didn't care about who was knocking, because for me, anyone who could be unreasonable enough to want to knock my front door down this early in the morning was not worth the rush. And besides, I learnt my lesson the hard way about brushing in the morning before talking to anyone, don't worry, I'm not going to tell you about it, there is no way you're going to get laughs out of me.
There comes the knocking again, how come Kiera is not awake yet? she's a light sleeper just like me. I yanked the door open with an annoyed look on my face, ready to say some really mean things to whoever it was (no kidding), but then I paused, surprised to be welcomed by a crowd. The first person I recognized was our security guard, who was being held by the scruff of his neck by an huge dude, and when I say huge, I mean huge. I looked around slowly like someone under a spell and took proper note of what my eyes were seeing, there were five men, in which four of 'em seemed to be cops and then the huge dude who seemed to be a bodygaurd. I don't know how but somehow my eyes seemed to miss her presence, but when I actually saw her, I could not believe my eyes. Standing in front of me in her full pride and glory was no other than Karen Wellington Brown herself.
That was not what shocked me the most though, what took the cake was what she said right after our eyes met "that's him officers, he and his wife kidnapped my daughter and held her hostage in their house, arrest him".
Kyle's POV
"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle " I stirred slowly, not willing to open my eyes just yet "KYLE!!" "Jesus Christ Keira, what is it? do you know what time it is? " I glared at her, during annoying moments like this, I wish I was an only child. "dude relax, it's 6:45am, you should be up by now" "of course I should be up by now because I have an early morning class today, speaking of which, I should probably start preparing for it right now" I'm not a lover of sarcasm, but anything that works now is good "don't be ridiculous, anyway on a more interesting note, there's something going on outside between dad and some people, like an impending fight" she said that with a twinkle in her eyes that I started wandering why stuff like this excite her so much "so?" was my short still-not-getting-the-point reply "so? aren't you interested in what's making dad raise his voice?" now that I paid close attention to the noise outside my window, dad was raising his voice, but to who?
"we can go and check " she said as if reading my mind "did I say that outloud?" "no, but I kinda saw the question mark on your face" "whatever" I muttered throwing the sheets off my body "and you might want to brush your teeth before coming though, that pepper roll you ate last night, left a bad after smell. Just saying" "Jesus, ouch, Kiera seriously?" I don't know which hurt the most, the way she casually said it which kind of dented my ego, or the fact that she was right and that is just not a nice thing to be told generally.
Meanwhile, things were getting really hot outside.
Henry's POV
I shut my eyes tightly, trying to keep my emotions in check, I was fuming, what the hell? How dare this audacious woman walk into my house and talk trash about me and my family? And where in the world is Gutch and the other guards? "Gutch" my voice boomed, I rubbed my temple and glared at her 'spiteful woman'. "I'm not sure they are anywhere around" she said, you could hear the smirk in her voice. Oh shit! bad timing, I may have sent them somewhere, and you'd think that has the CEO of a Milton security, I'd have a back up team. I hate to admit Rach is right, that I may have been a little careless with the house security.
"anyways, enough of the chit chat, officer arrest him and his wife" she turned to one of the men behind her "on what charges exactly?" with the way they were all suited up, you'd think they were going on an actual mission, which is not so far from the truth, I mean knowing where they were going, they would have expected tighter security.
"for kidnapping of miss Jasmine Lavender Brown?" Jasmine Lavender? weird how someone bears two flowers, anyway as surprising as it is that they can actually talk and are not dumb (since they have not spoken since they've gotten here, I couldn't help but see it has a possibility) I tried to make my expression as mocking as possible while glancing at all their faces. And without even thinking, I stretched my hands out in a mocking gesture. Karen raised an eyebrow while the officers looked surprised "well since you're obviously jobless and are looking for what to do, go on, arrest me" the officer I faced seemed to hesitate a little before he threw a quick glance at Karen as if to get confirmation, a message she seemed to pass with a glare.
Then he stepped forward and put the handcuffs on me.
"dad, what is going on?" I turned back, it was Kiera with Kyle trailing closely behind her "it's nothing darling, tell your mom to meet me at the station when she wakes up. I'll be back before noon" I said simply, then turning to one of the officers, I said dryly "can you please let go of my security guard now?" I glanced at his ID card, he'll be the first to lose his job.
