"Long Awaited" Chapter 48: "4 Minutes"

Chase's Point-Of-View:

Within seconds of the new information, I get on the phone with the Sergeant.

Sergeant Antonio Gradden: "We've been waiting for something like this! Get your crew and go! I'll call the hospital and give them the address. They'll meet you there, okay?"

Me: "Of course, I just wanted to clear this with you. Should I bring Virginia with us?"

Gradden: "Absolutely, but keep her protected at all times."

Me: "Of course!"

I retrieve Virginia and her mother from the room that Marissa was in. We thanked Marissa and told her to come with us. We had her and Virginia in separate vehicles though because she was still a risk. We didn't know anything about her and it was putting Virginia's life in danger just having her talk to Marissa. We start the vehicles up and we can see with that start, we lifted Virginia's spirits up. We had to get there fast.

Marissa: "Oh and Mr. Carson."

Me: "It's Chase."

Marissa: "Oh right, Miley, Demi, and Selena are out so you can get there undetected. David is under some serious anesthetics so he is completely out of it right now. I can't say the same when we arrive, but Miley and the others will still be out at that moment. She said they're out grocery shopping and they won't be back for a long time."

Me: "Thank you again, Marissa. We really appreciate it. You do not understand how large of an input you've had on this case."

Marissa: "I can only imagine."

In just thirteen minutes, we arrive at the house where David has been kept for the longest time. This was the final countdown. This was the end.

I saw the ambulance coming in from behind us.

Me: "Okay, thanks for coming, but wait until we say we need you. Don't go inside. It might be booby trapped."

Fredrick Tamphlon: "Absolutely. We'll wait for your signal."

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

I get out of the vehicle I was told go inside with my mom as soon as Chase gets out and I run, well...you know what I mean, over to him.

Me: "The fans are happy!"

Chase: "What do you mean?"

Me: "I tweeted and got a million and one responses."

Chase: "Umm...okay? Who do you want to send inside to get David?"

Me: "Me."

Chase: "No! You can't!"

Me: "Why not?"

Chase: "I promised Serg I'd keep you safe. plus you're pregnant...if something were to happen to you..."

Me: "Chase," I look him straight in the eyes. "I watch crime shows. I know what you're feeling. Just let me go inside. I want my husband to see me first."

Chase: "I don't know if that would be a good idea. But...go..."

Me: "Thanks!"

Chase: "But wait until we know no one is in there beside David!"

Me: "Okay."

Chase runs over to a police vehicle and starts looking at the scanners that they placed over near the building. They were heat scanners and they could detect heat particles from people inside. Soon, after they surveyed the entire house, he runs back over to me.

Chase: "All systems go. You can go, but I still don't think this is a good idea. He's in the basement."

Me: "I'll be fine. I don't care. I just need to see him." I run away from Chase and run inside the building. I start watching very carefully where I step when I enter the house. The first thing I see was a living room, it was very nice, actually. I start looking very discreetly around corners for any sign there's a door to the basement. Across the kitchen, in the back of the house, I see the door. It's open and I know it's the basement. I walk across the kitchen, ducking and being ninja-like, at least as ninja-esque I could be with this huge stomach. I was actually doing a pretty good job. I go to the door and start walking down the stairs. Right before my eyes, there he was. Tied up and bound by his hands in the basement. I cried that I finally have seen him again. I run to him.
