Chapter 87: Christmas Eve
Marco laid on the sofa that evening, dozing off an hour after dinner. He was tired from his day at work. Both in his day job and part-time at Jackson Detectives. Cases didn’t care if it was the holidays, after all, oddly enough adultery cases increase during the Christmas season.
He woke from his nap with the sound of Lisa’s voice calling him, her tone was urgent and it sent him to alert mode immediately. He ran towards the source, to the kitchen. And he scanned his wife, checking if she was in any sort of danger.
Seeing that she was unscathed, he relaxed a little. Till it registered on him that she was on the phone, and the expression on her face he knew something bad had happened.
"What is it?" He subconsciously clenched his jaw.
Lisa shifted towards him, she was just tucking Liz in bed when the phone rang and she answered. Anna was on the other line, simple words were exchanged. Not much explanation, just information. The call ended quickly, and she returned the handset to its base.
"That was Anna, she said....Sam, she’s been abducted," she stated, and Marco’s eyes widened at the words.

Sam sat on the bed, facing the wide windows of her room. In the upper corner was a CCTV blinking red, recording everything.
Then the blinking stopped.
And the camera slowly powered down
She sat in the silence, in the darkness of her blindness. Behind her, she heard the door creak open, but she did not turn. What for? She cannot see it.
