Chapter 18: Cuidado
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. It seemed to be coming from downstairs. "What was that?" Chad asked. "I think it came from downstairs, I am going to go check it out."
Luis walked to the basement door and turned the doorknob, but it was locked. "I wonder where Beth keeps the key. Oh well, I guess some boxes fell or something." Music started to play and Luis realized that the song playing described just how he was feeling since Sheridan was missing.
This world don't turn when you're not in my arms,
The sun don't shine whenever I'm without you.
And there's an empty space inside my heart when you're gone,
And whenever you're gone,
It's too long.
And the waiting is driving me crazy,
Baby, I'm not alive,
Till you're here by my side, oh
Chorus: I count the minutes,
I count the hours,
I count the seconds,
Till you're here by my side again,
And every minute (every minute)
Goes on for hours (hours)
Until you're with me
Till I look in your eyes again
And time is standing still till you're here with me
I need you're love to set me free, set me free
Each night's a lifetime when I I'm not with you
And every day just seems to take forever
I'm missing when I should be kissing you
I can't wait
Cause I live for the love that we make
I can't breath till I feel you beside me
And I'm lost in the dark
Till you're here in my arms, oh
I count the minutes,
I count the hours,
I count the seconds,
Till you're here by my side again,
And every minute (every minute)
Goes on for hours (hours)
Until you're with me
Till I look in your eyes again
And time is standing still till you're here with me
I need you're love to set me free, set me free
Bridge: I can't wait a minute more just to touch you
Cause I love you baby
Don't make me stay away from you too long
'Cause this waiting is driving me crazy
Baby I am not alive till you're here
by my side, here by my side...
I count the minutes,
I count the hours,
I count the seconds,
Till you're here by my side again,
And every minute (every minute)
Goes on for hours (hours)
Until you're with me
Till I look in your eyes again
And time is standing still till you're here with me
I need you're love to set me free, set me free
As the song ended, Luis started to think about how much he missed Sheridan. He needed to find her, he couldn't live with her, not now and not ever. Meanwhile, back in a dark and cold room, Sheridan's kidnapper was yelling at
Sheridan. "You'll pay for making that noise. Some one could have heard you and then you would have to die." "Mmmm" Sheridan tried to escape, but here hands and feet were tied up really tight.
As the kidnapper approached closer and closer, Sheridan's eyes bulged as she realized what this person was capable of doing to her. Luis asked Chad where the key for the basement door was and he pointed to
the rack of keys that Beth kept behind the counter. He looked for the basement key and found it hidden underneath the pile of keys. He approached the door once again and said "I'd better go downstairs just to make sure that nothing happened."
He placed the key into the lock and turned the key. He grabbed the doorknob and opened the door slowly. The basement was cold and damp. He walked slowly down the stairs. "Somebody's coming downstairs." Sheridan's kidnapper said. As Luis approached the last few steps he gasped in horror. Standing in front of him holding a knife to Sheridan's throat was Beth.
