Chapter 9.

She is lost…

The next morning she woke up, left the room, the sun was shining, the weather was beautiful, the children were accompanying their parents by the hand to a school… she saw everything as if she were an extra character, she felt a pang in her heart, only she knew how much she longed to have her own children, that was more than a manifestation it was a frustrated dream, but in the end a dream remembering the kindness of the man the night before she asked herself: why didn't I ask him his name? If I wanted to thank him I wouldn't know how to find him, maybe it's better that we don't see each other again… I'm just a danger.

She seemed to have been imagining what a life with that man would be like, the age difference was noticeable, her husband might be younger than that mysterious man by a couple of years and although she was in love with her husband, she couldn't help but think if someone like him was so kind to me maybe the world isn't so lost... Somehow I could fall in love with him, have a romance, get married, run away in his arms abroad, buy a wild house in some country, have a couple of children, watch them grow and grow old by her side, maybe he's one of those men who bring you breakfast in bed, who tells you poetry in the afternoons and makes love to you at night, then he would be any woman's ideal man, but what was he doing walking late at night while it was raining? Would he be married? Would he have children? If he was, she would be a homewrecker, a lover and then she fell back into reality, if she did all those things she would probably end up dead, her brother would get rid of him, somehow she would give her children to the beasts in the room underground floor of her house and would use her as fresh meat to develop new metamorphs…

Just thinking about it, her face seemed upset with discomfort, her emotions were evident on her face; and when she realized, she did not know where she had walked, she was more lost than a needle in a haystack, then a girl approached her, she was blonde, with blue eyes, she was very beautiful, somehow she saw herself reflected in the girl who did not seem older than 3 years old, when she looked up to see behind the girl she realized that it was a school outing; the girl smiled at her while saying: you are very beautiful, it is sad that I do not have a mother as pretty as you, at that confession Anne smiled and said: I am sure that your mother is beautiful and must be very happy to have you in her life, then the girl simply became sentimental and said: my mother is dead, since I was born I am an orphan and children make fun of me because I do not have a mother; Feeling identified, Anne told her: whenever children bother you, tell them I am your mother so they won't bully you, give me the address of your orphanage so I can visit you more often, then at that moment the teacher came to look for the girl and seeing them talking the girl said to her: she is my mother, you have to tell everyone in the class that she is my mother, the teacher seeing the woman and the girl who were so similar took a picture of both of them while they hugged each other and said to the girl: don't worry, I will publish this picture in the yearbook and so they won't bother you anymore, now go back to play with the others, before leaving the girl asked the teacher to write down the address of the school for her mother and the teacher gave it to her very cordially and before returning with the others, the girl turned around, smiled and jumping, greeted her from afar and said: bye mommy, I hope to see you soon.

Anne's emotions were on the surface, that girl seemed to have given her what she most wanted to hear in her life: someone who would call her mom and look at her with love, her heart was shaken, tears fell down her face and before she could continue walking she fainted between two trees, which made her look as if she was resting after having spent a wonderful afternoon.

Ritchthofen, who was losing his temper, contacted Patrick again and said: do you think that if I had found her I wouldn't have told you already? But this was not what he wanted to hear, so he told him: you have surely offended her or hurt her with your words, everything that has happened is not enough for you, you can be my best friend, but I remind you that she is my wife and she is missing, and if she does not appear soon we both know that things are going to get out of control because there are only three days left until the next waning quarter; So you decide, do you start moving too to find her or all our projects will go to shit…?

After finishing that call, Patrick cursed under his breath while waiting for his next patient in the office, it was incredible that he was going through this, but he couldn't allow something as precious as her to ruin his plans, so while the patient came in and put on her gown to be examined, his mind deliberately traveled to all the possibilities where his sister could be.

He considered going home or visiting various places… Maybe she had gotten lost in the woods trying to calm her bloodthirsty cravings, but still he couldn't say with that attitude where she would be; taking his phone after finishing that consultation, he sent a message to Caesar Bardot where he was asking for help to find a woman.

Caesar, seeing that message, was intrigued and asked her what the woman looked like. Immediately a photo arrived on his phone. Upon seeing it, he recognized her and sent her a message asking: Isn't this your sister? To which Patrick simply responded with: Find her, we can't risk our assets. Immediately, Caesar went to the city's security system base while entering a facial recognition search. Then, while waiting for the result, a traffic light camera caught her asleep in a playground. He immediately gave her location to Patrick and almost immediately when Patrick saw the message, he got into his sports car and went to the address. When he saw her, she looked like something out of a story, so beautiful. Any man could take advantage of her by looking at her asleep... without further ado, he approached her and shook her a little so that she would wake up. When she opened her eyes, he told her: Get in the car, let's go home. She obediently listened to him while the sports car disappeared from that place. That had been witnessed and recorded by Foster, who had only seen her sleeping. He was passing by and had even recognized her and had decided to approach her to help her get home, only he didn't expect that the girl from the night before was related to the number one suspect... with that in mind he said to himself, what relationship do you have with her, you bastard?
