Perfect SCARS

98

Patricia called me this morning...... To tell me she's feeling better and would like to see me

After our encounter, I encouraged her to go through rehab and from there we can talk.. I decided I was going to talk to her about myself only after she has gets better.

She's going to be my main witness and a strong part of my case... I need her and she has to be sober for us to be able to have a proper conversation

And it been almost two weeks and in that period.. I had this thing with Philip and even as messed up as things are I was sure that the minute I hear from Tris, I would be serving Philip with papers the next morning

But I can't..... Not now, not with the girls missing and Julie in a complete shock state..... I can't be selfish... Maybe this wouldn't have mattered if I didn't get too close to them

Damn!!
Everything is so messed up and I don't even know what to do.... I even put a hold on the medical check up I was suppose to do on myself

Something stuck at me as I dabble through the issue, I haven't gotten myself a lawyer yet...
I thought I could do this myself I seem to have forgotten that I'm the victim here and I need a lawyer to represent me

I think I should work on that while I hope and pray the girls are found so I can push on with my plans, i dont have to delay this any further

Now I have to visit Tris and get myself a good lawyer as soon as possible
I was hopping into my car when I thought of the jacksons   Their daughters are still missing and they are still trying to locate their kidnapper

I decided to check on Julie before I leave.......
As usaul the house was crowded and dead quiet,
Julie was sitting in a corner with her head down...
I was going to walk Straight to her when a group approached her so I decided to sit and wait

Just as I sat down, I looked beside me and realize I was sitting next to Philip. I didn't even see him if not I wouldn't have taken this seat..
He glared at me and grabbed my hand from my thighs and squeeze gently.. I tried to remove my hand but he wouldn't let me and all these people are here and I dont want to make a fuzz

So when the police officers arrived and he stood to talk to them he released his hold and I stood up immediately and left the room
On my way out, he trailed behind me and stopped me outside by the gate

"Hey..   Where are you going "

"I just need to see someone quickly. I'll be back soon "

"Dont go... You know I need you here with me "

"I can't have you holding my hand like that in front of all those people..... With Julie sulking and the girls missing "

"Do You think I dont know that..... I do, but I need you baby..... You are the only thing that keeps me sane and if you are not around.. I feel like am losing it "

"Stop being poetic... There are more important matters to deal with than this "

"I know.. I just want you here I promise to keep my hands to myself "

"The officers that just came in.. Do they have any news, "

"No... Just the same old shit, although they are still waiting for the kidnappers to call in for ransom, "

"They haven't called... Just the same msgs they keep sending to Juliet about giving them what is theirs..... I dont know what she took from them "

Ohhh my God
That sounds like Victoria and what she wants is definitely not money but the man in front of Me
Could Victoria have kidnapped the girls.
I know she has gone rogue but this is way too much
For awhile now she has been quiet especially after her media stunt
Is it possible that she kidnapped the girls just to get what she wants
She knows the children school and when they close... She is really looking like the culprit here but before I conclude I need to find her

Philip was stroking my arm and yelling my name when I looked up

"Yes...... "I answered

"Have been yelling ur name since, what were you thinking "

"I.... I have to go"
I jerked off his hand off my arm and hurried to my car and drove off

When I got to Victoria's house I went straight to her apartment and rang the bell several times and knock the door too but no one answered
Where is she......

A guy came out from the next flat

"Hello Miss "

"Hi..  Uhm pls am looking for Victoria "

"She's not around, she traveled some days back. Maybe you should call her "

"I have several times. Please do you have any idea where she traveled to "

"No.... I dont know, she just said she'd be gone for awhile "

"Sorry to bother you but when exactly did she travel "

"Two days ago..... "

"Ohhh OK. Thanks "

Everything is making Victoria look more and more suspicious, if only she would answer the darn phone and clear my doubts..
Oh now what if Julie has figured this out too.... What do I do

No... I won't do anything infact I'll go search for a lawyer instead, I dont want to be there when she raise suspicions on Victoria and I dont want to support her allegations just in case Victoria is innocent in all this but I highly doubt she is...... Victoria has shown signs of obsession and possessiveness over the last few months and she is capable of anything including this... I just hope she let the girls go soon and stop playing a twisted game.... This has gotten out of hand

I had several appointments with different top lawyers and gradually I screened them just to know which one is perfect to handle my case
Then I settled for barrister Lucy Morgan, a refined barrister good at settling dispute and rivalry between family members over properties and wills. She also has an outstanding record of putting molesters behind bars

She was perfect.
So we arranged a meeting for her  to meet my sole witness and hear my story

By the time I was done it was already late and I couldn't make it to Tris today so I decided to see Patricia the next day. I will be seeing the lawyer which is the day after tomorrow.
I just hope the jacksons gear up before then
On my way home I got a text message from Julie

***we found them Genesis..... We found my babies, where the heck are you... You won't believe who the kidnapper is.. ***

I sighed after reading it
I'm glad the girls are found but I dont think I would like the rest of the story
