It was only three days since my kidnapping; more like taking me to a friend's house like a vacation. For I never thought it might be this easy to wriggle free from his grasp or he would be this careless with me. Many questions swarmed through me, thinking about why this was too easy for me to get away from his hold; why that driver helped me get away; why did he tell me everything that was top secret. I regretted that I should have asked about the music case and who killed Charles.

Even before I completed my train of thoughts, in came crashing Alex through the door asking Jack why did he ask him to come as soon as possible. Jack moved out of the way and Alex saw me with an expression which was very painful to look. He after seeing me, leaned on the door knob and cried, I cried, Jack sniffed and Fabian was just in time to this drama when he plucked Alex away from me and hugged me so tight that I could feel myself gasp for air. Jack hugged Alex sideways and stood there holding him. I looked at all three of them and felt I was the luckiest, sister, sister-in-law and girlfriend. That made a fresh batch of tears to stain my face. 

As per my suggestion, Jack didn't inform them three about me, so that way they will come casually without causing any scene. But, there was a high chance for Stacey to see that Alex missing can be because I ran away and she might break all chains. But, at least I can try.

"Alex, you sure you didn't raise any suspicion, right?"

"Yes, I am sure. I casually jumped out saying I am going to search for you. No one knows that I am coming here, I instructed them I am going north from sandy lane to Santa lane."

"Hmm, was Stacey with you in the warehouse?"

"Umm... yes, and she even suggested that she wants to come with me to search for you and I said, I need to do this alone; so she dropped it hesitantly. Look, what is going on, where were you? What happened?"

"I will answer your questions. Let inspector... oh, he is here..."

"Angela... it's so good to see you."

"Yes thank you, sir, I need to tell you lot more. Please be seated everyone and don't you all interrupt me when I am the story teller here. I tend to forget things easily and then you might not get any details. Ok?"

Inspector Jenkins was happy with the way I spoke but Alex was not so happy with the gleeful tone. But anyway, inspector sealed his leaps in an imaginary way and threw the zip down; while Jack, Fabian and Alex sulked in their seat and looked at me sullenly.

They kept to their word and kept quiet throughout my narration. Fabian and Alex was about to pounce and kill someone when they heard Den all over me. A small smile twitched on Alex face when I said about the period joke. Jenkins was an amusing man, for he laughed out loud hearing that making me go pink from scarlet. Anyway, his face might have won an Oscar to see it twitch back to grim while hearing the crucial details. I could feel Jack and Alex go pale hearing about their father and Fabian was feeling unsettled to hear about our parents. The atmosphere was like a graveyard when I finished talking. It was an unhealthy kind of silence.

After what feels like eternity, Jenkins spoke up. "Ok, as this is really grave, I can clearly see where the music case and Charles fall in place. But, without any evidence..."

Again the unhealthy silence took me back to the white room making me want to slouch and go down and die. Den's hands made me want to gag and those chapped lips made me feel like I was kissing drought land. It all made me feel nauseous and seeing me, Alex and Fabian jumped to my aid. Alex brought me some orange juice which made me feel a bit alright.

If I had to take that creep out of me, I should do something which considering the time, it was like a desperate attempt. But, I need to do it, or else I might fall back to a panic attack. So, I excused Alex from the group and took him to a room and started to kiss him wildly.

Street light danced into our room through the dust-caked windows, illuminating his face brighter than halo. I wondered if I could burn embers into perpetuity to never form tomorrows; would I have enough of Alex's straight hair creased to perfection, being pulled, while the cadence of my heart broke down all confinements of our soul being separated into two bodies. Your kiss calmed my inmost, with such venom that I had to hold my teeth from ripping off the wallpapers while you laughed to my neck breathing moisture and harmony. I could never deem enough of your touch, burning epithets into my skin and I could sing million exaltations about the trice without any dire.

I could feel the thoughts of Den slowly deteriorating away like withered leaves. Alex's sweaty forehead kissed mine giving me the strength and energy that I needed to stay calm.

Our breath tasted love as we plastered kisses upon kisses to open the chambers of secrets; You held onto me like trestles, whispering words like falling stars which intensified rolling river, and I remained a sculpture enduring each blows of your chisel. As the sun in your eyes outshined the street flare, your smiles deflated reminders of my melancholic past and burned incense to new beginnings. Once more you opened the door to elixir and rode on amputating regrets from me into your unbreakable heart and pulled out each phantom of reminisce from my soul to stick as a reminder in the scrap book which still remained like a scrap in the back of my dead closet. Bottling seconds of enchantment into Mason jar, I exhaled deeply in contentment as you tattooed kisses into my worried face. Yes, your boyish grin lured me to clasp the handle of your shotgun which resonate our screams back in the room as your kisses ignited a fire; only to be melted like a snowflake, and I secretly prayed for them not to hear us.

We giggled lying on top of each other while tears streamed down my face etching pictures of fun onto my face. I was scared about losing Alex, but that was quickly revived when I was back into his hands and the feel of his soft lips made me feel lucky. This time, I was so sure of myself that I was meant to be with him; and only him.

"I love you, Alex, more than anything in this world."

"I love you too... Angela, I know you my girlfriend and you love me, but I was scared and so scared that I thought I might lose you."

"Never Alex, anyone may kidnap me and anyone can claim victory over my body which will be like a dead body... but, only you my biker boy have gained access to my heart and it will remain you only."

"Well then..." he got up from the bed and took a velvet box from his jeans and pulled on his SpongeBob boxers to kneel down and asked the inevitable. "Angelina my Jolie... will you do the honor of accepting my hand and be my light and day in the dark and bright alike?"

I closed my eyes to hear it and memorize the moment which made me cry a river. I opened my eyes and struggled hard to say yes. To find my voice and to say yes to his smiling face; the face that made me feel every anxiety crawl away from me.

He smiled, I smiled and the door burst opened when I screamed for Fabian, revealing me partially clothed in the duvet. But, Fabian didn't mind that and kissed me on my head and walked away; eyes with tears and ears red as fire. I laughed at him shyly and the chuckle of Alex earned him a bear hug and then a nudge finalizing with a glare meaning...don't you dare hurt my sister.

We were sitting in Jack's apartment thirty minutes later celebrating. I knew what I had to do and the plan was clearly laid in my head. But, all that I needed was Alex's permission that he is completely okey with it.

The conversation about my abduction was still hot even though we were drinking wine and having pizzas; seven different pizzas, to be precise.

Alex absentmindedly brought the topic which I was wondering why they didn't say it. "I can't believe it was Stacey... all the while. I knew about the camera. They can't fool me, but I never thought it might be Stacey."

"I was wondering why no one was talking about it."

"Yes, it was really hard for me process; so sad and hard for me to believe it."

I just nodded at his response. Alex saw her as a sister, a cute foolish sister and knowing that she was the one cheating all the while... he was heartbroken. Inspector Jenkins piped in.

"You said Stacey was Sandra's sister... who is this Sandra?"

"Sandra was a street girl." Alex began to say something in a very distant voice like he was thinking about something; his face was really grave. "I saw her trend the streets in rags one cold afternoon and she cried seeing me approach her. The first thing she said was, 'don't rape me.' I felt bad and brought her to my shelter. She was in fact a best rider and I was stunned. She said her parents were gang leaders of Harrington Lovers; I remembered that gang. Well, she said she lost her way when Full Moon Riders chased gang away and she had one sister and she needed to find her. I helped her; only to find later that she was having contact with Den whenever she goes out and that she was the gig for him which enraged me to push her out from my gang a little harshly. Whoever thought that Stacey will come showing her skills as an amateur in the stunt show and befriend Nat to actually beg herself in to the gang and now... show herself as the spy and traitor working for Den and Sandra. Damn this..."

I stroked his hands lovingly and looked at him with a smile. His smile was a little off and looked away from me which tore me apart. Inspector Jenkins cleared his throat and said, "Well, I will look into this matter. Angela, the information was really helpful for me to do whatever is necessary in handling the case. You sure, he didn't tell you about the music case, right?"

"No, I have a plan that I need you guys to accept."

After thirty minutes... Alex was furious and frustrated. While, Fabian shook his head wildly and Jack looked at me like I said something brilliant. Inspector Jenkins was already planning ahead and I knew he and Jack will be on my side.

"NO... no, no...no...no, no, no..." sang Alex shaking his head with a horrified look. Fabian shadowed him, but Jack clapped his hands and said, "Don't you see, she is brilliant."

"WHAT..."

"Alex, I have to agree with you but Jack has a point. Den trusts Angela to spill and act like a lover rather than torture her. So, if what she said works out, this might be the biggest work in my entire life and Angela will be the hero."

"I don't want my baby sister to be the hero who saves them all. I..."

"Brother please I want to do something worthy of my life and this is my chance."

That silenced them all and without saying anything Alex walked out slamming the door shut and Fabian went along with him. I sat, slouching down with my head shaking. Jack squeezed my shoulders and retired to his room. While, inspector Jenkins went to talk with them.

I planned this, even if they don't agree with my plan entirely; I know ways to establish it and I will do it.
