The Search

Clifford furiously drove out of the house with Lian. He was more determined and burnt on finding his wife now than ever. They drove in a long silence. As they passed the Kiddie's boutique, he noticed his wife's car parked there.

"Isn't that Rosie's car?" he asked Lian, pointing to the direction where the car was parked

"I think it is Cliff, pull over and let's go have a look."

"Okay, Lian." he answered.

Clifford found a spot to park his car well and they both rushed out of the car to the shop. They pulled the door opened and the receptionist welcomed them with a smile.

"Good morning sir, welcome to Kiddie's Care. How may I assist you." she asked

"Hello..." they both replied

" I want to enquire who that car is for." Clifford asked pointing to the car

"It's for a lady who came shopping here some few weeks back. I don't know what happened but she left the car here and we've not heard from her since." she replied

"May I see her details?" Clifford asked

The receptionist took out the records book for customers and gave it to Clifford. He checked and the car was indeed for Rosita.

" She is my wife. She has gone missen for weeks now and we are trying to find her." said Clifford to the receptionist giving back the book to her.

"How may I help, sir?" she asked

" We just have few questions to ask."

" Sure, go ahead." she replied

" Did she come with anyone on that day?" he asked

" Yes....., she came with a blonde lady her age who kept looking into her phone and quickly rushed out." she answered giving a more descriptive details about the lady

"Isn't that Nichole?" Lian asked surprised "

" Please can I see the security footage in the garage that day."Clifford asked

"Sure....." she answered

She took them to the security control room and asked the security personnel to assist them and left.

" How may I help you sir?" the man asked

"We want to see the security footage in the garage for last three weeks." Lian answered

"Sure sir" he replied

The security personnel opened a folder displayed on the desktop and selected a file. The file lead them to a video and the man played it. Clifford and Lian were shocked with what they saw.

" She was kidnapped!?" They asked shocked

Clifford got so furiously and rushed out.

"Thank you sir" Lian said to the man with a pat on the shoulder and rushed out after Clifford.

"Cliff....., Cliff..." he called after him

Lian came out and met him in his wife's. He took out the camcorder,

" Let's go Lian" he asked and left to his car with Lian following after. They sat in the car and started off.

" Calm down Cliff, we now know who the suspect is. We just have handle things more carefully and cautiously. We will definitely find her." said Lian to Clifford

"You believe me now?" he asked

" Sorry bro, there was no evidence and Nichole wasn't someone you can think that of." he replied

"Now you know." Clifford answered

They continued the rest of the journey in silence thinking of how to reveal Nichole's true identity.

SECURITY INVESTIGATION CENTER

An hour later, Clifford pulled up in front of the security investigation center. They went in and gave the camcorder to one of the personnel to open the video for them to clear their doubts. The man went in with them and checked the files on the camcorder. He opened the video and found the answer the wanted.

"So Nichole was really with Rosita that day?" Lian asked

"Yes Lian and I know she is responsible for her kidnapped and this scandle." he replied with contempt

THE GOONS HIDEOUT

Rosita was broken by the video she saw. She was speechless and had lots of questions on her mind that she needed answers to. She felt helpless.

" Why did you do this to me Cliff. I thought you loved me." she cried

THE HOLLANDS' MANSION

The whole Hollands family is thrown into chaos and confusion because of Clifford's video. They sat in the hall in silence, confused and disappointed. Nichole, seeing how distracted the family was, sneaked out of the house. Clifford and Lian had gone to a car rental shop and rented a new car to tail Nichole to find where she was hiding Rosita. They packed outside the house in wait of Nichole, just then, they saw her sneaking out of the into a cab. Lian noticed her and alerted Clifford

"Isn't that Nichole? Where is she going and why is she not using her car." Lian asked

"We will find that out soon." Clifford replied
