Chapter 16: Broken Hearts
"Sheridan, Sheridan where are you?" Luis yelled.
Everyone was looking for Sheridan, but she was nowhere to be found. Luis ran out of the reception hall and found Sheridan's veil lying on the floor. A hundred thoughts started running through his head. She couldn't
have just left me, she loves me, she seemed so happy. Something must have happened because Sheridan would never leave me he thought. He started to panic and ran back inside to the reception hall. He decided that he would
have to put his fears aside and figure out who took Sheridan.
He ran to the DJ's playing booth and took the microphone and said, "Everyone please listen to me. Sheridan has been kidnapped. I need to gather a search party that will help me split up around town. The only clue I found was Sheridan's veil.(he held up the veil, so that everyone could see it)." "Sure Luis, we will all help." Sam said. A few hours later, Luis and Sam were driving around in one of their patrol cars in search of Sheridan. Luis looked at his watch and it read 12:23 am. He realized that at that moment Sheridan could have been on a plane with him
to Hawaii for their honeymoon. Luis looked out the window and thought, where are you Sheridan?
Meanwhile in a cold and dark room, Sheridan was emerging from unconsciousness. She squinted her eyes to adjust to the dimness. She looked around and did not recognize where she was. She noticed her hands and legs were tied with a thick rope to a chair. Her mouth was taped shut and the room had a dingy odor. She thought long and hard about what had happened. Then she vaguely remembered dancing with Luis.
Dancing to the song they had chosen for their first dance as man and wife. They were so happy then. She also remembered the lights going off. She had pulled back from Luis and then one strong hand gripped her mouth. The person pushed her out of the banquet hall and into the hallway.
She tried to kick the person but the person was too strong. Her veil feel off and the person dragged her outside into the cold night air. The person took a needle and injected Sheridan. She tried to scream, but nothing came out. The rest was a blur since she had been drugged.
Suddenly, a person emerged from the shadows and starred at Sheridan. Sheridan tried to look at the person's face, but a mask concealed the person’s face. "I hate you Sheridan. You are not going to escape." Sheridan's eyes bulged because she instantly recognized the voice. "Don't worry Sheridan, I won't hurt you as long as you cooperate." The person stepped closer towards Sheridan and Sheridan could see the sharp knife the person was holding.
"This won't hurt a bit."
