Two days. It had been two days since I last heard from the guys, and it felt like an eternity. The last time we spoke, Nick had called me with a strange message: go pick up Lupita and Grandma at the airport. He mentioned something about them being asleep, but the way he said it, the way he avoided details, it didn’t sit right with me. He wasn’t forthcoming, and I couldn’t quite piece together what he meant.

When I finally picked them up, the weight of his words hit me. They weren’t just asleep, they were in a deep, unnatural slumber. I had rushed them to the hospital, desperate for answers. The doctors confirmed my worst fears: there was nothing physically wrong with them, but they remained unresponsive, caught in this inexplicable state of sleep. They were being fed through cubes to ensure they didn’t starve, but it felt like a temporary fix, like we were just biding time until something more sinister revealed itself.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the situation, my mind racing, twisting with questions. My family, my wife, my kids, were out there, and I couldn’t get a single answer. I had been trying to reach anyone, but no one was picking up. My calls went unanswered, and the silence drove me crazy. My anxiety was building, every unanswered call adding fuel to the fire. I needed information. I needed it now.

The not knowing, the uncertainty, was starting to eat away at me. But deep down, I kept telling myself that if something serious was going on, Ethan would have told me. Just like he had when he warned me about Xander, there was no reason for him to hide anything now.

Still, that nagging feeling wouldn’t go away. It was like an itch I couldn’t scratch, a whisper in the back of my mind telling me something wasn’t right, that they were hiding something from me. Maybe it was something with Olivia, maybe one of the kids… Whatever it was, it felt like they wanted to handle it first, to fix it, before they broke the news to me. But what if it was too late? What if they were already in danger?

but I had no idea where to even begin. If I knew where they were, I would’ve been on the next plane, heading there without a second thought. But the uncertainty was suffocating. Every passing second felt like I was losing precious time, like they were

me.

again, my heart pounding in my chest. I didn’t expect him to pick up, I had called so many times, only to be met with silence. But to my surprise, this time he answered. His voice was tense, clipped, like he was

his words, before I could ask the thousand questions flooding my mind, the line went

a whirlwind of chaos, how? Why? What did he mean by “we haven’t found her yet“? Why hadn’t he told me more? I couldn’t understand why he had cut the call so abruptly.

kids were safe, at least, but Olivia my wife, was out there somewhere, and Xander was the one who had her. The thought of that monster having her, of what he might be doing to her right now, made
