DENNIS

I frowned as I picked up her call. "Why-"

"Where's Amie, Dennis? Where's she?" She inquired frantically, and then she said in one breath how Amie was about to get kidnapped.

"What?" I dropped the pan in my grasp on the counter. "Wait, hold up? My Amie? When?"

"Now, Dennis. Now. Get them to Safety. Where is she?"

"They we- you know what? I'll call you back," I said before I ended the call and quickly placed a call through to Ana.

I paced back and forth in the kitchen, my left hand rested on my hip while my right hand held the phone to my ear as I waited for her to pick up.

She had taken Amie to go grocery shopping so as to cheer her up after she witnessed our fight. Since Amie enjoyed shopping so much, she thought it was the right activity to lift her mood and also restock some things in the house. I stayed back and decided to make dinner.

"Dennis," she repeated and I could tell that she wasn't fully focused on the call. She sounded distracted. "Excuse me," I heard her say, "When will this be replaced?" There was a pause as the response of whoever she asked the question came. Their response was muffled over speaker so I couldn't hear them.

"Okay, thanks" I heard her say and immediately, I called her name again.

"Ana? Where are you?"

"I'm sorry, babe. I was just asking when the-

"Okay, tell me where you are right now. Are you on your way back home?" My grip on the chair was hard as I tried to keep myself calm.

"We aren't on our way yet," she answered, "I'm still grocery shopping with Amie at the-"

"What did you say? Where's Amie?" I asked as the network got shaky.
