ROSE AFTER TITANIC
Chapter Twelve
Jack waited for the police
outside. "Finally," he whispered when he saw a police car coming down
the street.
Two police officers got out of
the car. "How can we help you?" the older one asked.
"My wife and next door neighbor
are missing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. My wife was supposed
to stay in bed until she gives birth to our twins. Cal, our next door neighbor,
was watching our four adopted children."
"We will see what we can
do."
"What do you think,
boss?" the younger one asked.
"I think it is possible his
wife and neighbor have run off together."
"You really think they
did?"
"Not sure, but it is
possible."

Cal and Rose were locked up in
different rooms at the Hockley mansion.
Nathan walked into where Cal was
being held prisoner.
"Cal, you are going to marry
Rose."
"No, Father."
"Yes, Cal. Not only that,
but you will return to being the Cal I knew before you were brainwashed by that
lowlife."
"No, Father. I will not
return to my old ways. If anyone brainwashed me, it was you."
That remark made Nathan angry,
and he started to beat Cal until he was barely conscious.
