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.
