Chapter 234 A Walk In The Night (One)

• Sleep was a long time coming for Ryan, as it had been since he got the news of his children’s kidnap got to him. Tonight, he was sleeping in his room as against the previous night, when he had spent the night comforting Becca. She was sleeping in the guest room again, with Sandra this time around. Ryan was trying his best to be strong for her, but he was getting to the end of his endurance. The thought of his sick daughter and her sister holed up somewhere with some bloody kidnappers was enough to make him go insane.
• He got up from his bed, pacing to and fro the wide length of his room, his mind in turmoil. The money was in the process of being sent, but since it was such a large sum, it would be days before the kidnappers would get it in the account details they sent. Were the children supposed to remain with the kidnappers till then? The thought of that sickened and scared him to no end. He was operating on autopilot, having not had more up to five hours of sleep in two days, but each time he lay down to sleep, sleep eluded him.
• He was still pacing when his phone rang, the sound of the ringtone deafening in the quiet night. He sprang for the phone, knowing that it would be the kidnappers. No one ever called him that late at night, and although he hadn’t been expecting a call from them, he would kill for any news about the kids.
