Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

With an utter state of melancholic depression Diana requested, “Can you help me find them?”

Mark looked at Diana coldly, trying not to show any bit of his emotions. He was as well frustrated and dejected.

“It’s easy to guess who is behind the kidnap..” Mark asserted and signalled for Richarlison for them to be on their way.

“Let’s go to Einstein school and see what clue we may have there….” Mark added after letting what he initially said sink in into Diana’s seat of thoughts.

“How come she didn’t think that way before now? It was obviously her ex husband, she was quick to point out. Who else would be interested in her kids if not him? Who would thought he would go this far?… Since the judges adjourned the case, it definitely must have aroused an unquenchable taste and hunger like desperation within Jake.

Diana gritted her teeth, squinted her eyes and clenched her fist in full anger. So, he is not even satisfied with the pain he caused me in the past? He had the guts and audacity to step on my toes once again. He won’t escape this time around!

Mark could see through her teary eyes as he squinted his eye brows….. Jake is a devil and a thorn on her flesh, can’t wait to get rid of him! He mumbled!

“Com’on…. Let’s go… We’ll find your kids..” Mark said rather reassuring. He walked up to Diana who seem absent minded and tapped her on her shoulders, “Don’t worry… We’ll find your kids!” He said. Diana woke up back from her land of thoughts when she felt the cold sensation of his hands and once again after a long while, they locked gazes!

Marks’ expression was crystal clear, he could not hide the worry written all over his face anymore. He then picked up his white handkerchief and wiped Dian’s tears and reassured her again, “let’s go… we’ll find your kids…”

Diana didn’t realize when her face flushed bright red. “Was the president general wiping away her tears? He seems to care… Doesn’t he?”

“I don’t want you crying…. And after this whole events I’d be needing what’s mine…” He whispered to her ears.

Oh! He was only acting this way simply because he needed something in return, obviously his Ring… The better she doesn’t overthink it, the better for her because she will definitely get herself hurt by overthinking his sudden act of care.

With no gap in time, Mark, alongside Richarlison and Diana entered into the Maybach Mercedes Benz and started off towards Einstein Academy, Richarlison was on the drivers seat. Officer Luke rode behind them closely and a patrol car before them. The president general wouldn’t go anywhere without a patrol team.

Back at Einstein Academy, the kids knew the men were fake but, however had the mind to let them take them away. They had a plan , Jake or whoever sent them wouldn’t hurt or kill them! And they were sure it was Jake and he won’t even hurt them.

Richarlison on the other hand, has already had a major clue to Danny and also was already digging deep into Hannah. It was Mark who instructed him to dig into Hannah more closely.

Meanwhile, Hannah’s terrible plan would hatch the next week…

In a jiffy, Mark and his company arrived at Einstein Academy and fear gripped the whole academy. Many parents had already came to take away their children so that they won’t be caught in the cross fire.

At the principals office, the staffs and non teaching staffs were being interrogated one after the other as the police had already been involved.

The security officers were at the most hottest seat of interrogation.

Mark ordered Richarlison to check the CCTV footage and they both started to analyze the footage personally.

Everyone was wondering why the president general was stressing himself for the kids, it was unusual of him that it was already on the news headline.

Rumors spreading up and down about the possible connection Diana has with the president general and the connection the president general has with the missing triplets.

Meanwhile, Diana was all weak, emotionally and physically that Mark ordered her not to come out of the car, rather rest inside there and regain all her strength.

Upon analysing the CCTV footage closely and attentively, Mark was able to point out that the men were indeed military officers but their faces wouldn’t match any face in the military data base, and that had only on explanation. Either they were from another military base or they had a plastic mask on to give them a new look. The former option was soon ruled out after Richarlison checked the worldwide military data but couldn’t find a match with the military officers and now they were left with only one option. They were hiding behind a human like mask that gave them a new human face.

After a careful analysis they both coincidentally and eventually came to same conclusive deduction.

In matter of time, they got back to where they parked their cars and exited the academy to let the police officers do their job. Meanwhile, Mark had a personal undisclosed series of steps to be carried out to apprehend the military officers. He was able do discern and draw the dots that all the military officers had a cobra tattoo in there neck and in common and that cobra tattoo was only given to members of the cobra night team. The team Jake Bernard hired as his bodyguard. Mark however didn’t tell Richarlison this his observation. He kept it to himself for some reasons best known to him.

When Mark and his entourage arrived at the military base, a chaos had erupted that Owens was already attending to at the central field.

Diana was so weak, dispirited and in terms of energy and strength; very low…. That Mark had to carry her gently to her bedroom and let her rest to replenish her energy, meantime, they work on bringing back her kids safe and sound.

During that period Mark carried her, it seemed a little romantic that Diana’s heart was on her throat while some of her was worried because of her kids… With no gap on time, her expression changed from worry to embarrass because of the way Mark carried her. When he dropped her he managed to blurt out, “Thank You!” Feeling vaguely embarrassed. Mark looked away, flushed with embarrassment as well. Diana, who a moment ago would have been meanly pleased, felt a rush of anger toward Mark, her kids were missing and he playing a romantic game. “Let me be,” she snapped. “Please help me find my kids…. please” she requested to rather soften the venom the words she said out of anger must have caused.

“Don’t worry… We’ll find them. And you need all the strength as possible.. so rest as we do the work”. Mark said and then walked out. Both windows were open, yards of gauzy white curtains blowing in the breeze like restless ghosts. Only when the wind dropped and the curtains settled did Diana see that the painting on the wall. A painting of Diana, Mark and the three little Rugrats seated together like one family. “Legacy must have done this..!” She deduced, however was wowed that it reminded her of the fact her kids were missing still.

Some voices began to erupt inside her mind, they were dry and neutral. But there is no need for the use of force, if you do not resist.

She gritted her teeth. She wanted to resist them, wanted to pry those intrusive voices out of her head. To stand by and allow such a violation of her most intimate, personal self-

But there was every chance that had already happened, she reminded herself. This was nothing more than the excavation of a past crime, the theft of her memory. If this pain and void she was feeling just make it worked, what had been taken from her would be restored. She closed her eyes.

Her mind seemed to snap in on itself, like a rubber band, and she reeled soundlessly into a whirlwind of images cast against the insides of her closed eyelids.
