CLEO
(stuttering) um… i..

MASON
Oh never mind reign, she’s a shy type, and moreover, i’d like to feed you, don’t stress yourself
(mason took a spoonful of custard, he fed cleo, reign felt jealous, but he didn’t showed it)

REIGN
Um cleo, we’ll see later
(reign walked out hitting his head)

JADA

KYLIE
Oh God, that lochness monster, what the hell does he want again, after all he has done for reign and i, does he need to be in my life anymore
(tamara dropped the cup of c*cktail, and brought a shisha pen of banana flavor)

TAMARA
Look darling, mitch is the right person for you now, you can resist him that’s when you want jeopardy.

***
Cleo and mason hung out as planned they both caught fun, and joyful, they spent all the hours going to parks and restaurants, sooner and later they headed home in a limousine

CLEO
I began to have experience of love, mason and i sat at the backseat, i never made our friendsh¡p special, the chauffeur who was driving tune to a love song, on the first of our story, it was sang by rihanna, i was trapped in an awkward moment, oh gosh, i could see mason’s lip centimeters away from mine, i could feel his breath, i believed the song moved him to, i changed the direction of my face to the left, he felt normal back

MASON
I…. um.. sorry for that

CLEO
My heartbeat was fast accelerating, i made the altitude of my low, i was much surprised

~KYLIE’S RESIDENCE~
Mitch’s arrival wasn’t pleasing to kylie

MITCH
Oh you mean, i should get of here? ok fine i understand, i’m gonna get rid of the allens

KYLIE
Mitch don’t you near that family

MITCH
No darling, i’m there already.

~KYLIE’S RESIDENCE~
Mitch took his phone and dialed an unknown number with an evil smile on his face, kylie and tamara was wondering what he’s gonna do

MITCH
(on the call) Hey ray, i need you to be bring a hook, we got some fish to catch at the allens’ house, and note take anyone you see, becareful, their security is tight
(kylie grabbed mitch’s jacket)

KYLIE
What the hell are you doing, tell me!

MITCH
Buzz off kylie, i’m unstoppable, and you are not allowed to move an inch away from this place or even use your cell phone, or else you gonna see corpse of ex’s family
(mitch walked out in anger, kylie fell on the floor weeping)

~ALLEN’S RESIDENCE~
CLEO
Jada and i are having gist, i told her of what happened between me and mason, she never supported it, she said mason is not my type, then suddenly, i heard a strange sound in the garden, i knew the security don’t move around there, who could it be? i checked it out suddenly, someone covered nose and i fell asleep….

****

JADA
(yawns)Ohh cleo, why does she stayed long at the garden, i’m feeling sleepy, i need to sleep i’m so tired
(i walked to the garden, i couldn’t find cleo, i thought she was playing hide and seek, i gasped in fear when i saw one of slippers) oh God (i rushed to the sitting room) mrs knowles, reign, mason! cleo have bee kidnapped

MASON
What do you mean?

REIGN
And how’s that even possible

JADA
She went to the garden, to found out what’s sneaking, it was quite long, i can’t find her, i saw a pair of slippers, and her hair bond, which makes it looks so suspicious
***
The report was given to the FBI, they soon begins to carryout investigations, theresa, cleo’s mother, wept bitterly

CLEO
I woke up the following morning, everything was blurry, i found out i was tied with a rope piercind through my skin, i couldn’t move an inch nor was able to talk, because of the tape in my mouth, i was striving hærd to free myself, i heard an unknown voice

UNKNOWN
You’ll hurt yourself.

I looked back, i saw it was a man dressed in a black clothing like an assassin, i was scared, he took a chair and opposite direction to me
“you look pretty” said the man touching my sweaty hair
“you know what? i really love kidnapping people as beautiful as you” said the man
His phone rang and he clipped it
“hey boss, yes sir, i got a beautiful prey, she must be his sister or his girlfriend, ok sir i’ll be expecting you” said the man as he lights up a cigarette, he blew the smoke towards my face, he rubbed my thighs, i wonder what he was doing, he found my phone and brought it out, “oh angel, could you tell me your password, you must be secretive” said the man teasingly, he scrapped away the tape from my mouth sharply to hear my password
“ask my butt” i said angrily breathing heavily
“you wench” said the man as he gave me a punch on my face, i felt the pain sharply, i held my tears emotionally i could not bear it anymore so i bursted out in tears, he slapped me persistently.

He slapped me persistently, till an authorized voice echoed ‘STOP’, i wonder who it was, until i saw this is the master behind this
“hey little gal, i’m mitch, i have no problem with you, but i won’t release you till reign shows up” sai mitch, i knew i wasn’t his target, it was reign
“could you tell me your password, girl?” said mitch, i proved stubborness, i insisted on not telling him, he brought out a pin, and pierced it through my skin, i cried in pain, i wish someone could here me but, it was just an abandoned warehouse far away from the city
“sir i found something” said man, “what did you found?” asked mitch
“the phone is a fingerprint sir, we could use her fingerprint to unlock it”

~ALLENS’ RESIDENCE~
Everyone wasn’t in calm mood, each person looking for what to do, momentarily, reign’s phone rang, it was cleo’s number, it drew everyone’s attention, he clipped it as he gave the cops a sign
“yes” said reign
“if you want to see her alive,you need to be here” the call ended.

The call ended, the FBIs, tried use the trackin device but was unable, it was quite a disaster

REIGN
(crying), i’m all at fault, cleo is suffering because of me, i need to leave without anyone’s knowledge, i need to save cleo, i…. love her

_CLEO_
I was completely weak, i feeling dizzy as i looked at mitch and his troupes make jest of me, i loosed hope of being alive

REIGN
I wore a a black clothing of a bike man, i withdraw as much money in case they request for some amounts, i wore a black glove like a mutant like i was going kill someone, i sneaked out through back entrance, i need to save cleo she can’t suffer to death all because of me

MASON
I wonder how cleo would be feeling now, and where the hell is reign?

JADA
I searched for reign everywhere, i approached his room and saw an envelope proped up, i took it dad and mom, it was a letter left by reign

“Dear Family Members, I’m Sorry I Left Without Your Conscience, But Someone I Love Is In Danger, Find Me If You Can”
