Chapter 110


    He could have had the food and coffee tested but now it is toote, if only he had thought to tell them to


    keep housekeeping away from his room before he left for the bank.


    Dan entered his suite and dropped the bag onto the floor, going over to the bar he poured himself a


    large amount of whiskey. He went and sat down and when he heard his phone rang he quickly grabbed


    it out of his pocket hoping it was the kidnappers but it was Stefan.


    "Dan it is me, I should be there with you in a couple of hours or so" he could hear the sound of


    helicopter but what he really needed was Stefan presence in the hotel, " I am waiting, just hurry" he


    said, before hanging up.


    An hourter and two more shot of whiskey he started pacing back and forth, the worst part of


    everything was waiting and not knowing what was happening to her, seeing her sweaterying on the


    chair he picked it up and sat on the couch, holding it to his nose he took in her scent and felt the tears


    rolling down his face.


    He sat there holding onto the sweater for over two hours until he heard a knock on the door, knowing it


    has to be Stefan he wiped away the tears and went to answer it.


    Stefan could not believe the state of Dan, his eyes were red and swollen, his hair was a mess. He


    could smell alcohol on his breath.


    "My God dan tell me what happened?" Stefan asked as he followed him over to the sofa and sat


    down, taking the piece of paper that was handed to him he read it and looked at Dan " How were


    they able to take her? Where were you?"


    "We were having breakfast together and we both thought the coffee tasted weird, so we stopped


    drinking it. But I guess by the time we knew what was happening, whatever was put in the coffee took


    its effect on us and we both passed out. When I got up, I found out she was gone and this note was


    left" Dan got up and started pacing back and forth running his finger through his hair.


    "This waiting is Killing me Stefan, why the fuck are they not calling back?" He yelled.


    "They are probably giving you time to get the money together, Dan you have to calm down. Just sit


    down I will make you coffee"


    "Coffee? Are you kidding me?"


    Stefan exhaled " See, I will make it myself in the kitchen okay, you have had enough of this" he said,


    taking the half empty bottle of whiskey from his hand.


    "I will decide when I have had enough"


    "You won''t be any good to Faye if you are drunk, you will need to be sober when the kidnappers call if


    you really want to save her"


    Dan knew Stefan was right, he put the bottle down with his hand resting on the table. He lowered his


    head as tears filled his eyes " I am lost, for the first time in my life I am lost. I was right here with her,


    sitting across from her and I still couldn''t save her. I had promised to protect and keep her safe, but I


    failed her"


    Stefan walked up to him, his hand rested on Dan''s shoulder " No you haven''t, you have to stop


    ming yourself. This is not your fault, you both passed out to something that was added to your drink,


    you did not know about it. We will figure this out together, we need to get the surveince tape then we


    will see who delivered the meal or whoever might have been in the hallway"


    "I have already told the manager to bring them to me, they should be here anytime soon"


    "Okay that is good, now go take a shower while I make you some strong coffee and something to eat"


    he ced his hand on Dan''s shoulder and looked at him in the eye " We will find her"


    With a heavy heart Dan nodded, turned away and headed to the bathroom, Stefan was right he


    needed to sober up of he were to get his wife back. He stood under the water running his hand over his


    face as the water poured on him.


    "Be strong baby, I will find you" he said out loud to himself.


    After showering he put on a pair of jeans and white t-shirt and went back to the living room where


    Stefan had set out coffee and some sandwiches.


    "Now you look more alive" Stefan said when Dan walked in and sat down.


    "I look like crap" he replied Stefan picking up his cup he drank what was in it.


    Just then there was a knock at the door "I will get it" Stefan said, getting up he walked over to the door


    and opened it, he came back with the surveince tape in his hand " Shall we look at them while we


    eat?"

    "Yeah, put them in"


    Stefan grabbed theptop and put in the memory card and sat down to watch, Dan sat beside him


    anticipating.


    "What the hell!" He cursed when they get to the time frame that the breakfast was brought to their suite,


    it was nk"


    "What the fuck" Dan yelled getting to his feet, Stefan looked at him with a frown on his face "


    Someone must have hacked into the security system"


    "Damn it!" Dan cursed, he remembered the same scenario when Faye was locked in the sauna, the


    same thing happened. The tape was nk at that particr time frame even when she was strangled


    inside the hotel room.


    "Well you should be able to identify the person who brought in the food and we can question them"


    "I didn''t see who it was, Faye was the one who allowed them in"


    "Then call down and find out who was on duty and who brought the food up" Stefan ordered.


    Dan got on his phone and called down to the office, he was angry to find out that the person who


    brought the door had disappeared. The other thing was that the kitchen staffs did not recognize the


    man who came into the kitchen to get it, they had never seen him before and figured he was new so


    they did not pay any attention to him. All they could tell him was that the waiter looked like an old man,


    dark hair and he wore sses but something about him seems off. He kept his head down and never


    made eye contact with any of the kitchen staffs.
