Just then Cyril s phone was snatched away by someone and Glinda s voice came through
Be be what did you just say Wendy s pregnant
Glinda was with Cyril and she had overheard Halsey s frantic phone call
HalseyhadpromisedWendynottotellanyone aboutthepregnancy,butnow,withthesituationsocritical,shecouldn’taffordtoworryaboutthat.AllshecaredaboutwasWendyandthebabybeingsafe.

Glinda’semotionswerea mixofshock,joy,andfear.”HowcouldyounottellmeWendy’spregnant?Calmdown,Bebe.YourfatherandIwillcomeoverrightaway.HaveyoucontactedStanley?He’sthefather,afterall.”
I can tr each Stanley His phone keeps going unanswered Halsey said her voice full of worry
Glinda slammed her cane against the floor in frustration That good for nothing He s a father now and he doesn t even care about his woman and child Wait until I get my hands on him
The phone call ended abruptly There was no time for further conversation People from both the Hawk and Lincoln families were already on their way
But Halsey felt her body shake with anxiety She couldn t shake the feeling that they were running out of time Wendy had been taken over half an hour ago
Suddenly,Halseythoughtofsomeone.Shepulled outherphoneanddialedthenumber.
The phone rang and soon a low cold voice answered Hello
Halsey gripped her phone her voice shaking as she cried Dwight please come help me
There was a brief silence on the other end before Dwight asked his voice steady Where are you
Halsey quickly gave him the address Dwight replied I m nearby I ll be there soon
After hanging up Halsey immediately called for an ambulance to take Cecelia to the hospital
No sooner had she finished the call than the apartment door swung open At all cool figure walked in carrying the chill of the outside air with him
What happened Dwight asked his voice calm but urgent
Halsey looked up and saw Dwight arriving
He was holding his black coat and his sharp features combined with his buzz cut made him look strikingly handsome Halsey hadn t expected him to arrive so quickly
My good friend Wendy is in trouble She was taken and she s pregnant
Dwight s eyes scanned the room noting the signs of a struggle

Dwight crouched down and picked up a broken half of a stick from the floor The stick had a few letters engraved on it
Standing up with the stick in hand Dwight said Let s go I have a pretty good idea of where your friend is right now We might still make it if we hurry
Halsey s eyes lit up with hope Really That s great Let s go now
The ambulance arrived and Cecelia was carefully lifted on to it Halsey followed Dwight as they went downstairs Outside a motorcycle was waiting
Dwight handed her a helmet Hop on
