79 What have you done?!

Robbie's POV

The moment I got off the phone with Tony, I saw Jane hurrying towards me. The full impact of the situation was yet to hit me. I was already getting a feeling of something like bile rising from the pit of my stomach. I was thankful when Jane interrupted my thought process, otherwise, I would have started acting out.

"Mr. Walker, Mr. Mandes is very concerned as you le-" Jane started when I interrupted

"Book me the earliest air ticket you can get for Warham right now!" I said as I started hurrying towards the exit of the restuarant we were in

Jane's mouth fell open at my instructions. She quickly recovered and ran behind me, stammering as she spoke, "Mr. Walker....Mr. Walker...Y-you haven't finished...Mr. Walker...what about the....Please Mr. Wal-"

"JANE...Do what I said. And wrap up the meeting tell them that I have left as I had some urgent business to attend to" I said as I got out of the restuarant and gave my keys to the valet there.

"But sir, Mr. Mandes wants to settle the deal with you only" Jane said, sounding helpless.

But I was really not in the mood to listen to her worries or arguing back. My mind was already wrapped up with the current scenario. I knew I shouldn't have left Warham. I was already getting a bad feeling that something might go terribly wrong if I do and it did. I can only hope that dad is not behind this! Dad does everything by law. Something as lawless as abduction doesn't seem like his style at all.

The valet came with my car. He got out, bowed to me and handed me the keys. I took it and opened the door. It was only then that I noticed the blood gushing down my hand. Jane came hopping beside me, still looking very anxious but the moment she saw my hand, her eyes widen and she almost started screaming in utter anxiety,

"OMG! Mr. Walker, your hand! It is bleeding. Please let me call the medics and wra-"

It came from the wine glass, that I mistakenly broke after reading Tony's text. I didn't see the big gash it created. My brain was so absorbed with the news that I didn't feel the pain. No one saw it as I immediately left the room before anyone could see the wound or stop me.

I opened the car door even with Jane's nervous pleading to treat my wound before leaving and took my seat. I held her arm with my unwounded hand to stop her concerned cries and said sternly,

"Jane I'll be leaving in half an hour. My tickets should be ready by then. I'll leave the wrapping up of the meeting to you and take care of the trivial matters. Goodbye"

I slammed the door shut on Jane's stunned face and drove the car off.

I reached the airport which was close to my hotel after an hour. My flight was to take off in another 45 mins. I had already checked in and was in waiting room. I just couldn't wait for the plane and somehow the time seemed to be moving at the speed of snail. I took the business times magazine and started going through it just so I don't think of the situation at hand which was only making me more anxious. To make things worse, my unskilled wrapping of the wound on my hand was making it hard to turn the pages of the magazine.

I felt my cellphone vibrate. I took it out to see two Multimedia text from Tony of a silver car and another was of a blond lady. Then, another three text followed it giving the details of the teacher, which I assume is the blond lady. The last text said that he along with the cops are leaving to search the teacher's place, Sam is leaving with the cops to check the various points where the car passed to get some clue. He also included that Fred is doing his own research.

I forwarded the texts to my personal guards who also happens to be expert at pulling out the history of anything and anyone. I told them to send me whatever the hell they find about the car and the lady. But this was not enough I felt very frustrated to be stuck here. I got up from my seat and started walking all over the waiting room making everyone there glare at me. It was not my intention but sitting quietly only made me feel more restless. I looked at the watch and got furious to see that still thirty minutes were left. Can't the time go a little more faster. I exhaled deeply to keep my calm, when my cellphone rang. I quickly picked it up without bothering to see the caller ID.

"Tony? Did yo-" I started with great urgency but the voice on the other side interrupted

"Am not Tony, Old man" came the scathing tone of Fred.

My tensed state changed to annoyance, "What is it?" I replied

"I think that's something I should ask" Fred said in an odd tone.

There was definitely something wrong so I asked cautiously, "What did you found?"

Fred replied in a slow aggravated tone, "Old man, you must come clean. That car made three stops, and one was at your residence"

"WHAT? How did you know? How come the cops haven't found it but you did?" I asked totally taken aback. My heart dropped to my stomach at the news.

"My cousin is a hacker. She hacked into the police server and got the record of the traffic surveillance around the area. She tracked the car down. Of course, I couldn't inform about it to the cops, though they will get to know it soon. She is a minor. I don't want any criminal record on her" Fred replied in an off handed manner about the illegal hacking but then his voice turned acidic as he asked, "I hope old man, this is not your play!"

"It is not my play" I replied earnestly "but I know whose it is" I felt bitter to the core. I couldn't believe dad would have fallen to this length.

"Look dude, you know it well that if Walker family is involved, even I can't do much. My family doesn't have the power to go against a family like yours. I didn't tell Tony anything. You better get your sh*t together. I won't be able to hide it from him for long" Fred said, his voice containing suppressed rage.

I clutched my fist re-opening the wound that already stopped bleeding. What have you done, dad? Weren't you always up and about Walker family reputation? How are you going to explain the cops about my son's abduction? I gritted my teeth as I replied to Fred in monotone,

"Thanks. I will get to the bottom of it"

"You better!" Fred said as he hung up.

As soon as I heard the disconnection of call, I felt like throwing my phone away. I was feeling angry, upset, worried and extremely frustrated. I can't believe that a day like this would come when I have to go against my one family to protect my other family. I felt my eyes stung as I picked up my cellphone again and dialled to my mum. She picked up on the fifth ring and said in an affectionate tone,

"Honey, I am so sorry, I am very bu-" she started speaking the moment she picked up.

"Mum" I interrupted her, "Mum, Twen is kidnapped!" I said, my voice cracking

I heard a loud thud on the other side followed by my mum's panicked cry, "What are you saying, Rob? How did he-"

"Mother" I said, trying to keep my voice level, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Ask me two!" she replied, worry filled in her tone

"Can you please return home and keep an eye on dad!" I said in a shaking voice.

"Yo-Your dad? Honey, are you implying that your dad have something to do with it?" she said in a shocked trembling voice, "You know he will never-"

"I am sorry mum. And thank you!" I interjected her before hanging up. I just couldn't bear to hurt mum in anyway. Just what have you done dad?!! I put my bleeding hand over my eyes, as a thin stream of tear rolled down my cheek.
