Taming Faye

Chapter 110

He could have had the food and coffee tested but now it is too late, if only he had thought to tell them to keep housekeeping away from his room before he left for the bank.

Daylan entered his suite and dropped the bag onto the floor, going over to the bar he poured himself a large amount of whiskey. He went and sat down and when he heard his phone rang he quickly grabbed it out of his pocket hoping it was the kidnappers but it was Stefan.

"Daylan it is me, I should be there with you in a couple of hours or so" he could hear the sound of helicopter but what he really needed was Stefan presence in the hotel, " I am waiting, just hurry" he said, before hanging up.

An hour later and two more shot of whiskey he started pacing back and forth, the worst part of everything was waiting and not knowing what was happening to her, seeing her sweater laying on the chair he picked it up and sat on the couch, holding it to his nose he took in her scent and felt the tears rolling down his face.

He sat there holding onto the sweater for over two hours until he heard a knock on the door, knowing it has to be Stefan he wiped away the tears and went to answer it.

Stefan could not believe the state of Daylan, his eyes were red and swollen, his hair was a mess. He could smell alcohol on his breath.

"My God daylan tell me what happened?" Stefan asked as he followed him over to the sofa and sat down, taking the piece of paper that was handed to him he read it and looked at Daylan " How were they able to take her? Where were you?"

"We were having breakfast together and we both thought the coffee tasted weird, so we stopped drinking it. But I guess by the time we knew what was happening, whatever was put in the coffee took

its effect on us and we both passed out. When I got up, I found out she was gone and this note was left" Daylan got up and started pacing back and forth running his finger through his hair.

"This waiting is Killing me Stefan, why the fuck are they not calling back?" He yelled. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"They are probably giving you time to get the money together, Daylan you have to calm down. Just sit down I will make you coffee"

"Coffee? Are you kidding me?"

Stefan exhaled " See, I will make it myself in the kitchen okay, you have had enough of this" he said, taking the half empty bottle of whiskey from his hand.

"I will decide when I have had enough"

"You won't be any good to Faye if you are drunk, you will need to be sober when the kidnappers call if you really want to save her"

Daylan knew Stefan was right, he put the bottle down with his hand resting on the table. He lowered his head as tears filled his eyes " I am lost, for the first time in my life I am lost. I was right here with her, sitting across from her and I still couldn't save her. I had promised to protect and keep her safe, but I failed her"

Stefan walked up to him, his hand rested on Daylan's shoulder " No you haven't, you have to stop blaming yourself. This is not your fault, you both passed out to something that was added to your drink, you did not know about it. We will figure this out together, we need to get the surveillance tape then we will see who delivered the meal or whoever might have been in the hallway"

"I have already told the manager to bring them to me, they should be here anytime soon"

"Okay that is good, now go take a shower while I make you some strong coffee and something to eat" he placed his hand on Daylan's shoulder and looked at him in the eye " We will find her"

With a heavy heart Daylan nodded, turned away and headed to the bathroom, Stefan was right he needed to sober up of he were to get his wife back. He stood under the water running his hand over his face as the water poured on him.

"Be strong baby, I will find you" he said out loud to himself.

After showering he put on a pair of jeans and white t-shirt and went back to the living room where Stefan had set out coffee and some sandwiches.

"Now you look more alive" Stefan said when Daylan walked in and sat down.

"I look like crap" he replied Stefan picking up his cup he drank what was in it.

Just then there was a knock at the door "I will get it" Stefan said, getting up he walked over to the door and opened it, he came back with the surveillance tape in his hand " Shall we look at them while we eat?"

"Yeah, put them in"

Stefan grabbed the laptop and put in the memory card and sat down to watch, Daylan sat beside him anticipating.

"What the hell!" He cursed when they get to the time frame that the breakfast was brought to their suite, it was blank"

"What the fuck" Daylan yelled getting to his feet, Stefan looked at him with a frown on his face " Someone must have hacked into the security system"

"Damn it!" Daylan cursed, he remembered the same scenario when Faye was locked in the sauna, the same thing happened. The tape was blank at that particular time frame even when she was strangled inside the hotel room.

"Well you should be able to identify the person who brought in the food and we can question them"

"I didn't see who it was, Faye was the one who allowed them in"

"Then call down and find out who was on duty and who brought the food up" Stefan ordered.

Daylan got on his phone and called down to the office, he was angry to find out that the person who brought the door had disappeared. The other thing was that the kitchen staffs did not recognize the man who came into the kitchen to get it, they had never seen him before and figured he was new so they did not pay any attention to him. All they could tell him was that the waiter looked like an old man, dark hair and he wore glasses but something about him seems off. He kept his head down and never made eye contact with any of the kitchen staffs.
