CAL'S REVENGE
Chapter Three
Jack and Ruth walked into the house. "Thank
you for taking me on a tour of the city," Ruth said.
"You're welcome," Jack replied.
"I wonder where Rose is."
"She's probably still out with the baby.
Can you do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"Go upstairs to the nursery and bring
down the baby book."
"Where is it?"
"It’s on the table by the rocking
chair."
"All right. Is there anything else you
need?"
"No."
Ruth walked into the nursery, and was shocked
to find the baby in his crib. She walked over to the crib and took the baby
from the crib. "Jack, come here quick!" she screamed.
Jack raced upstairs. "What’s
wrong?"
"Rose is missing."
"What?"
"Rose is missing," Ruth repeated,
fear in her voice.
Jack spotted a note.
Jack,
Please don't try to find me. I am with
Cal. He threatened to kill you and the baby if I refused. I am trying to think
of a way to escape. I will always love you.
Rose
"Come on, Ruth. We are going to the
police."
"Why?"
"Rose has been kidnapped."

Cal walked into where Rose was being kept
until the wedding. He shut and locked the door behind him. "Sweetpea, take
off your clothes."
"No!" Rose exclaimed.
"Then I will do it for you."
Rose started to run to the door, but was
caught by Cal. "Sweetpea, you can do this the hard way or the easy
way," Cal said with a sneer.
"All right. I will do it the easy
way."
"Good."
Rose grabbed the lamp and smashed it down on
Cal's head. He fell to the floor, unconscious. Rose ran to the door, unlocked
it, and ran out into the night.
