Chapter 136: Pain...
Richard stopped the car in a small hotel, on the roadside.
‘Let’s get a room… I don’t want to drive anymore…’ Richard said to Andrew.
Richard opened the door. Andrew looked at him… he could run, but knew that his father… his supposed father… would shoot him…
Walking to the other side, Richard opened the passenger door…
Andrew exited the car and they walked to the entrance of the hotel… Andrew’s arm was being pulled strongly by Richard…
‘Good night…’ said the manager.
‘Good night…’ said Richard. ‘I’m travelling with my son and we stopped to rest… I need a room for one night, please…’
‘Where did you guys go?’ asked the manager, typing on the computer to do the register.
‘My parents moved to Mexico…’ said Richard. ‘We went over there to do a visit…’
The manager nodded and looked to Andrew.
‘Don’t you should be at school instead of travelling? It’ a school day after all…’ said the manager, giving Richard a paper for him to sign.
‘He’s homeschooling…’ said Richard, sign the paper of he hotel.
The manager looked at him for a few seconds, before giving him a pair of keys…

‘Son, come here…’ Chuck said from the living room.
‘What, dad…’ said Cosmo. ‘I was going to my room...’
‘Yes, I know… but it’s important, ok?’ said Chuck, sitting at the table..
Cosmo strange this, because he never did that… just his mother…
‘Do you know…’ Chuck tried, but it was difficult. ‘… that Richard didn’t know where aunt Abby and Andrew were?’
Cosmo nodded.
‘Well, we don’t know how, but… he found them…’ Chuck said. ‘And followed them to the train center…’
‘Daddy, what are you talking about?’ asked Cosmo.
Chuck sighed… this wasn’t going to be easy…
‘Cosmo, Richard kidnapped Andrew and put aunt Abby in the hospital, where hse had the baby…’ Chuck said.
‘What?’ asked Cosmo, with wide eyes…

Marko knocked on the door of Abby’s room… after talking with her Luka had called the nurse station and asked one of them to call his kids in… as Jasna had go out with Susan, only Marko was there…
‘Come in…’ said Luka.
Marko entered and walked to where his parents were… Luka looked at him and nodded… Marko looked at Abby, her eyes were closed and approaching slowly…
‘Mom?’ he asked.
Abby opened her eyes, looked at him and reached for him… Marko picked up her hand and hugged her, carefully with her injuries… Abby closed her eyes as she felt her eyes moisten with tears, while hugged him because she couldn’t imagine Marko without Andrew or Andrew without Marko…
‘Are you ok? He asked… he knew she wasn’t but he needed to ask that…
‘Yeah, under the circumstances…’ she said.
‘I was so scared…’ said Marko.
‘I know, honey…’ said Abby. ‘I want to thank you for being so courageous…’
‘But, it wasn’t enough…’ said Marko, lowering his head…
Abby sighed and passed her hand on his face.
‘It wasn’t your fault, honey…’ she said.
Luka put his hands on his son shoulders…
‘We are going to bring him back, Marko…’ he said, as Marko looked up at him. ‘I promise you this…’
