Chapter 17: One Breath
"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."
Meanwhile, Sam and Luis were driving around town in search of Sheridan. "Sam, where could she be. I mean we have checked everywhere, the Crane Mansion, her cottage, the pier, and the park. What if something bad has happened to Sheridan? I would never be able to forgive myself. I can't live with her. If something happens I'll..." "Luis, don't think like that. Everything is going to be ok. You'll see."
"I hope you're right Sam. Hey Sam I am really tired. Let's stop at the Book cafe for a coffee." "Alright Luis."
Sheridan tried to shift her body but she couldn't move.
"No one will ever find you here." The person moved a few more inches towards Sheridan and continued to hold the knife. "You had to marry Luis didn't you? Well you'll pay for that. Luis isn't here to save you know Sheridan and besides he won't care if you die."
Sam parked the car and Luis stepped out of the car and into the cold night air. Luis pulled upon the door and stepped inside. There were only a few people drinking coffee and listening to music. "Hey Luis, how are you?" "Not to good Chad, I mean Sheridan and I got married, but someone kidnapped her." "Man, that's a shame. So what can I get you." "Two coffees to go, please."
"Coming right up. Yo, how do you take your coffee?" "Black, two sugars and the same goes for the other coffee. Hey Chad where's Beth?" "Oh, I don't know, she told me she had business to take care of." Suddenly, there was a loud bang. It seemed to be coming from downstairs. "What was that?" Chad asked.
"I think it came from downstairs, I am going to go check it out."
