Kidnapped

Ace's scheduled flight to Brittania was yesterday. Twenty-four hours passed since then but I haven't received a call from him informing me his flight had been cancelled. 

My worries keep growing. Negative ideas kept popping inside my thoughts. The fact that he was not answering his phone scared me more.

What if Vince kidnapped him? What if something happened to Ace without me knowing?

I took a deep, steadying breath and kicked the negative thoughts away. Fretting would never take me anywhere.

…. The number you have dialed is either unattended or out of coverage. Please try your call later…..

It was the fourteenth time I try to call him. But like the previous attempts, no one answered. 

From the amount of my failed tries and having to listen to the same voice over and over again, I memorized the lines. 

Sighing, I returned the phone on top of the night table. Then I shifted my gaze to my daughter.
