Rita's Unseen Destiny.

Chapter 37: A Race Against Time.



Carlson's voice was laced with concern as he addressed his household workers. Team, I need to inform you that Rita is missing. She didn't come back home this evening and I haven't been able to reach her. I want everyone to keep an eye out for her and notify me immediately if she shows up or if you hear from her. "

 The workers exchanged worried glances, and a murmur of concern rippled through the group. 

 I have already notified the police, and they are looking into it," Carlson continued. " But I need your help too. If anyone has any information or sees anything suspicious please don't hesitate to reach out to me."

 As the workers nodded and began to disperse, Carlson's phone buzzed with a text from Samuel. " Security footage shows Rita leaving the parking with people grabbing her into a car just like my model and color. I am working on enhancing the image, but the faces look unfamiliar. 

 Carl's heart sank, and he felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. He knew he had to keep searching, but his body and mind were exhausted. He decided to get a few hours of sleep to refresh for the next days' search.

 As he was in bed, his mind raced with worst-case scenarios, but he forced himself to focus on the task hard. He had to find Rita, and he wouldn't rest until she was safe and sound.

 With that determination and resolve, Carlson drifted off to sleep. His phone clutched tightly in his hand, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

 Meanwhile, as Rayan goes to his bed, Rayan decides to call Stessy to find out if she is the one with Rita. Rayan's voice was low and cautious as he spoke on the phone. "Stessy, is Rita with you? What's going on?" 

 Stessy's laughter was menacing. " Oh, Rayan, you are so concerned about Rita's well-being. That's sweet."

 Rayan's grip on the phone tightened. " Stessy, answer me. Do you have Rita?"

 " Yes, she is with me. And she's going to stay with me until Carlson agrees to my demands."

 Rayan's heart raced. " What demands? What are you talking about?"

 Stessy's voice dropped with malice. " You will find out soon enough. Just make sure Carlson cooperates."

 As Rayan continued to press stessy for information, Samuel walked by his door and overheard the conversation. His eyes narrowed, and he slowed his pace, listening intently.

 Samuel's mind raced with the implications. Stessy has Rita's ? What did she want with her? And what demands was she making? 

 Without making a sound, Samuel slipped into his shadow, his eyes fixed on Rayan's door. He knew he had to inform Carlson about this immediately.

 As Rayan continued to talk to Stessy, Samuel crept away, his heart heavy with concern. This was getting uglier by that minute. 

 Samuel entered his room, his mind racing with thoughts of Rayan's mysterious deal with Stessy. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. As he lay in bed, he couldn't sleep, his mind working overtime to piece together the puzzle.

 Early in the morning, Samuel decided to approach Carlson with his concerns. He found Carlson sipping coffee in the living room, looking tired but determined.

 "Carlson, I need to talk to you about something," Samuel said, his voice low and serious. Carlson looked up. "What is it, Samuel?" 

 I have been thinking about tracking Stessy's movements in town with the police men until we find out where she is hiding Rita. Carlson nodded, I agree." That's not a bad idea. But we need to be careful. We can't afford to spoil stessy." 

 Samuel nodded.vigorously. " I understand. But I think it's worth the risk. We need to find Rita before it's too late."

 Carlson stood up, alright. Let's do it. I will call the police chief and get him on board." 

 As Carlson made the call, Samuel felt a sense of relief wash over him. Finally, they took action. He knew it wouldn't be easy. But he was willing to do whatever it took to find Rita and bring her home safely.

With the police on board, Samuel and Carlson set out to track Stessy's movements, following her every step. Waiting for her to slip up, so they could pounce. The game was on, and Samuel was ready to play.

 As the police and Samuel's team worked together to track down stessy, the tension mounted every passing minute felt like an eternity, and Carlson's anxiety grew. He couldn't shake the feeling that they were running out of time.

 "Samuel, any updates?" Carlson asked, his voice tight with worry.

 Samuel checked his phone for what felt like the hundredth time. "Nothing yet, Carlson. But we are closing in on her location. 

 Just then, the police chief burst into the room. " We have got a lead! Stessy's been spotted in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. "

 Carlson's heart raced. " Let's go! We can't waste any more time!"

 The team sprang into action, racing to the warehouse with sirens blaring. Carlson's heart pounded in his chest as they arrived surrounded by police cars, ready to rescue Rita. But as they entered, they realized stessy had set a trap. The warehouse was empty. Except for a cryptic message scrawled on the wall. " You will never find her."

 Carlson's face fell. "Where is she? We have to find her!" 

 Samuel's expression was grim. "Stessy's playing games with us. We need to regroup and come up with a new plan. " 

 As they left the warehouse house, Samuel couldn't shake off the feeling that he was hiding something crucial. He knew about Rayan's secret relationship with stessy, but he hadn't informed Carlson yet. He hoped it wouldn't compromise their investigation.

 Meanwhile, Rayan was watching from the shadows, his heart racing with anxiety. He knew Stessy's tactics all too well. This was far from over.

 The search party returned to Carlson's house, defeated and worried. Rita's whereabouts remained a mystery and then tension was palpable.
