The next morning, Bastien’s men were waiting for Cristy and Ally at the university entrance. As soon as they saw them, they went straight to them.

— Ladies, come with us.

— Are you crazy? Get out of our way!

— Mr. Bastien needs you.

— We're not going anywhere!

— I'm sorry.

Two men grabbed them by the shoulders and forced them into the van while the girls kicked and screamed, trying to escape. Others collected their things, and the car drove off. Cristy quickly texted Arthur:

— Big guy, your boss is kidnapping us. I’m scared.

— Stay calm. Just cooperate. I’ve got a problem here.

— What is it?

— Kate has a fever and she's delirious.

— S H I T. I’ll figure out a way to get out of this. Take care of her.

— I will, love. Let me know anything. Stay calm. He won’t hurt you.

— I hope so…

At Kate’s house, the guys were placing cold cloths on her forehead. She was burning up. Her health had deteriorated over the last fifteen days away from Bastien.

— Bastien… Bastien, come back… come back to me
