It would have been better if they had gotten into one of their usual fights if he had maintained his ground and told them that they all had to stick together.He felt Sarah's presence beside him, "what are you thinking of?" She asked him."Nothing, I'm just scanning the area," he said and turned."Then where are you going?""To see the securities, maybe they had seey anything before".They made their way to the security office at the beach and asked if anyone had been dpoyyedy along the beach, a man and woman, they described so it would be easier.The men responded in the negative, they said they had gone round the beach to make sure no one was behind it probably injured especially children. There are frequent reports of missing children on the beach who play hide and seek and get lost or got injured somewhere.So the security men make it a point of duty to scan through every nook and cranny of the beach to be sure no one was left behind which they have done and nobody was found.Jake
Sarah squeezed shoulder from behind,"We are going to find them, I know so".Jake could do nothing but stay positive, waiting for the manager to be through with his call, as soon as the manager dropped the phone Jake asked him if they were ready to move.The search party was divided into three, Jake insisted that Sarah be with him and not any other team. And so they left for the three caves to carry out their rescue mission.In the cave where Cassandra and Max are tied up, three men stood watching them, it's not like they would escape if they left because their hands and feet were securely tied up.Max's body ached and one of his hands was twisted as a result of the stomping he got from those guys. Cassandra too was shocked at the inhumane treatment they received from their abductors.After Fred left them in the hands of his men, she tried thinking of a means to escape but there was none, the only way out was directly through the men and it was risky.Max was in no shape to even escape
They managed to get halfway to the mouth of the cave, Cassandra's legs were weak from the force of the water but mostly from Max's weight on her.Then it happened, the water came in at once the wave hitting them so that she lost her balance and fell into the water, holding tightly to Max, she did not struggle against the water , she knew better than to do so.At the place where the search party dispersed, unknowing to Jake be a d his group was heading for the cave Cassandra and Max were in.Three carts were used in Jake's group, he picked up his phone to call the manager," Any luck yet with the other teams?""We haven't got there yet, when we do I'll keep you updated about everything"."Please, do and if you see the water is high, the divers should go in immediately and search for them". He hung up the phone.The carts pulled to a stop in front if the forest that Fred followed the other day, Jake could not believe that they were going through this path.The man leading the team turned
The anger brewing inside him was coming to the surface and he tried to suppress it, the hospital was not a place to be throwing tantrums.Sarah who was still inside came out to meet him, "Max is awake and he asked after Cassandra, should we go get her? so she can see him".Jake was tired of explaining to her, that she could do it whatever way she sees is right, but there was one thing he knew, he would give her a piece of his mind when they returned to the apartment.They asked a nurse if it was okay for Cassandra to be moved and she gave her approval, a wheelchair was brought so she did not have to stress walking, as expected of her she protested saying she was fine and could walk by herself without any support.Jake had to beg her before she obliged, he told her that Max would not like to see her in a bad condition and stressed just to see him, as they got closer to the ward that Max was in Cassandra became tense, she didn't know what image to picture.The door was opened and she le
"What were you both discussing, even after we left you guys, the time was not enough right" Cassandra teased as they entered the apartment.Sarah had a confused look on her face, "What are you talking about Cassie?, You have started with your jokes"."No I'm not joking darling, I'm serious, the time you guys had together before before you knew that Max and I had been kidnapped"."I wouldn't say it was all fun, we got into our usual squabble then talked for a moment, it wasn't all bad""So what did you guys talk about?" Cassandra persisted."Trust me you don't want to know it might bore you, do you want something to eat or drink?" Sarah tried to change the conversation, but it didn't work."I see what you are doing there girl, first of all, I don't mind any food or drink as long as it's not crustaceans, secondly, I am very interested in your story, girl you have to hit me with all of it"Sarah laughed, "then you might have to give me a minute, so we can eat and talk a the same time"."
"If I do that will I get into your good book again". Jake asked her still pushing and trying his luck."Hardly, you have a lot to learn Jake, I don't know where to start or how to help you, it is a self growth thing where you have to reflect on yourself, nobody can do it but you"."Sarah please, at least let us be friends again, you are part of the few I can rely on and as much as I don't want to admit this, it hurts me that I spoke to you that way".Sarah couldn't believe her ears ,did Jake McPherson just refer to as a friend? and not just an ordinary friend but a friend he can rely on, it was huge to her and she felt excited, maybe he does have feelings for her after all and just wants to understand himself.She tried to hide the smile curving on her face,"I'll think about your apology, when I decide to forgive you I will let you know".Jake knew she was not mad anymore,"I know you've forgiven, you just can't stay mad at this face for long"."Don't think to much of yourself, I said
Sarah silently wished in her heart that she has not saint anything wrong to Jake at that point, she was careful and didn't want to say anything for fear of his attitude, but he prompted her to speak up and now he was quiet.Jake took in what she said quietly, he also didn't want to cause a stir as they have just settled their last difference. He faced Max expecting him to say something, maybe take his side,"are you not going to say anything Max, it's just you now , Cassie and Sarah have had their say on it,what do you think".Max thought for a while before answering, there was a point in what Jake said, the spiritual to enjoy the vacation was no longer there, so it would make sense for them to go home, but he also saw a point in Cassie and Sarah's words, but he was at crossroads and said want to offend any of them."I think we should stay for awhile, see how things go,if we enjoy it then we can stay, if we don't enjoy it we leaving before the week ends".He hoped the way he said it wa
It was unbelievable to them that the vacation came to an end, as much as they wanted to stay, neither of them believed the rest of the week would go well, they juu felt like after two days they would get bored and like Jake presumed, they wouy get fed up and finally go home, the sitauu turned out differently than any of them expected.When they returned back to the sister, Sarah was the first to be dropped at her apartment, as she stepped out she thanked Jake and told Max that she would come visiting to check on him and know how fast his hand I recovering.Max on the other hand, couldn't say there was an improvement to his hand, a slight difference that was not noticable by any of them.Jake and Cassandra told Sarah goodbye, Cassandra was a bit sad as she enjoyed the time spent with Sarah,"I will miss you, let's do this another time, just the two of us", she said as she hugged Sarah goodbye.It was time to drop Cassandra off, but she told Jake she would be going to the house with him,
