Kidnap suspect
Kidnap suspect
Stephen hung up, and placed the phone on the table.
"Let's see how you can continue being with that bastard, Quinn." He smirked and waited for the drama
to unfold.
===================
Emelda's school.
The school was quite noisy, as it was closing time already. Different cars were parked at the entrance.
A security guard stood at the entrance. Before each parent could pick his or her child, they had to
confirm if the child was truly theirs.
And so, everything went on. The bustle continued.
There were also children waiting for their parents to come and pick them.
Among these children was Emelda.
She frowned when after few hours, her driver was no where to be seen. She was puzzled. He was
never late like this...
So, what could be keeping him?
"Hey Emelda, see you tomorrow." Her friend, Ashely waved at her as her mother clutched her hands
and led her towards their car.
"See you Ashely." She muttered beneath her breath.
Soon, a black limousine pulled up at the entrance of the school. The guard waited for whoever it was to
approach him.
He wasn't awed by the splendor or plushness of the car. After all, he was used to it. The school only
accommodated rich kids. So how could he be awed by a normal limousine?
A driver got out of the car and approached him.
Emelda finally sighed in relief when she spotted him,
'Finally.'
The guard was familiar with him,
"You are late today." He smiled at the driver.
"Traffic." The driver responded simply.
"Come on Emelda, let's go." He beckoned at her.
He clutched her hand.
Emelda had always been sensitive and smart. She noticed that his hands were shaking and his palms
were sweaty.
"Uncle, are you alright?" She asked.
"Yes... It's the sunlight." The driver nodded hurriedly.
The car was opened by a bodyguard, and Emelda frowned in confusion.
"Uncle, I don't know this person." She said looking at them critically.
"They are our new bodyguards." The driver lied.
"Okay." Emelda decided to shut up and observe.
The Stones were always strict with her security. So, three bodyguards always accompanied them.
She got into the car obediently, and her confusion mounted when she saw two other suspicious people.
They were clad in black. However, that was what made her suspicious.
She had always hated black, and so she told her grandfather to allow her bodyguards dress in grey
instead.
In fact her bodyguards always dressed in grey suits!
She decided to keep quiet and observe..
The driver started the ignition, and began driving...
As they got to a corner, she heard the one by her left say,
"You know what to do."
And to her surprise, the driver braked hard.
"Please... don't hurt my family. I've done what you asked." The driver pleaded.
That was when it dawned on Emelda. Although she was still a kid, but she wasn't a fool. She could
understand what was going on.
She had been kidnapped!
"What are you doing-"
A damp cloth was placed over her nose and she passed out.
Immediately they confirmed that she was completely unconscious, one of them got out of the car.
He walked over to the side of the car, opened it, and pushed the driver out.
He got in, and they drove off.
The driver watched them leave in tears. What had he done?
But, he felt he couldn't be blamed at all.
His family were held hostage, and his daughter was among.
His precious daughter...
....
What actually happened was that, he was on his way to pick up Emelda alongside three bodyguards,
when their car was suddenly intercepted by another.
The bodyguards unsuspectingly got out to check who they were, when fire opened up on them.
They were shot to death!!
Following on, two burly men in black, got out of the car and dragged him into their limousine.
He wanted to shout, when he felt the gun at the nape of his neck.
He had no choice but to whimper...
A video recording was then played for him to see... He almost peed his pants, when his saw his wife
and daughter tightly bound. They were crying for mercy.
The men then told him to take them to Emelda's school without raising any suspicion.
Too afraid to make any careless decision, he had agreed.
The result was what just happened....
The worst part was that they warned him that their eyes were on him. If he dared to inform the Stones,
his daughter would be killed.
And so, he could only acquiesce to their order.
.......................
Emelda opened her eyes slowly, and looked around her surrounding.
She widened her eyes, when she saw a total opposite of what she was expecting.
She was in a girlish room. Everything was painted pink, and they were even toys too, and a TV.
She frowned; hadn't she been kidnapped?
Then what was this?
She scrambled off bed, and made her way to the door. However, before her hand could land on the
handle, the door pushed itself open.
She moved back a little. A beautiful woman came inside, and smiled at her,
"You must be Emelda, right? I'm Clara. I'm your new nanny." She smiled again.
However, when Emelda heard the word 'nanny', her expression changed.
She had been kidnapped. Really and truly....
But she couldn't make sense of the whole thing...
"My nanny? I don't-" 'cough, cough', Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"I don't need one." Emelda said hoarsely.
She cleared her throat.
"Awwn... So sweet. But I'm afraid you don't have a choice, honey." Clara smiled brightly, as her eyes
crinkled.
However, Emelda felt that her smile looked creepy instead.
"I said I don't! I'm not a little child. And can you explain what happened today? Why I'm I here, instead
of my house?" Emelda folded her arms, and looked at her defiantly.
"I'm afraid, you can't display that attitude here. Be polite, miss..." Clara's face closed up, and she
became serious.
"Really? Wait then... My grandparents will come looking for me. And by then, don't beg me for mercy."
Emelda smiled.
Clara frowned; how could a little girl be this outspoken?
