The sun gradually hid on the horizon until the darkness of the night covered the small city with its starry cloak. The influx of patients decreased, and the staff was exhausted, so everyone was prepared to leave and give up their place to their nightshift colleagues. Doctors, nurses and other staff wanted to go out to their homes and rest after a long day. They began to leave the hospital, some heading for their own vehicles, others towards the bus stop or the Candem Metro Station, others more in search of a taxi, and the rest scattered towards different directions. Delilah was one of the last employees to retire. She wore navy blue trousers, a salmon blouse with prints, a pair of black low-heeled shoes and a beautiful vermilion coat. She seemed distracted, distant and self-absorbed in her thoughts when she was interrupted again by Charlotte.\n\n-I'll go to the \"pub\" for a drink with Margory and her friends, do you want to come with us?\n\n-I appreciate the invitation, but........ I prefer to go home, I'm tired and I want to rest, also...i need to get something in order- said the dalmatian, trying to conceal her reluctance. Despite the talk she had with Charlotte, thoughts that overwhelmed her came back in the course of the afternoon, not enough to distract her from her duties, but enough to keep her restless, something her friend perceived, so she understood that refusal.\n\n-Ooohh......okay, see you tomorrow!!! And Delilah, about what we talked...... good luck with that, do not miss the opportunity- said Charlotte. The collie gave a quick hug to her friend and then walked towards where several nurses were waiting for her, ready to relax under the cover of the liquor and the waitress, while the dalmatian raised her hand to say goodbye to them, watching them walk away. She stayed there until she realized she was alone at the hospital entrance. The place was quiet, only interrupted by staff activity and the few people entering and leaving the building, so she decided to walk towards his beloved home.\n\nDalmatian Street was not so far from the hospital, as it was only a journey of just almost two miles, so Delilah fastened her coat, closed her handbag and set off on the journey back. For a long time, the female was walking under the cold and silent night, barely disturbed by the sound of her own footsteps. The streets were quiet, as most businesses were closed and in the other houses their inhabitants are living with their families or just were asleep. Other streets remained dark, with broken or flickering headlights, which gave them a more gloomy appearance, but despite that, the dalmatian doctor knew that Candem was a very safe neighborhood, and that both Officer Pearl and other police horses did their night patrols, so she didn't worry about touring the neighborhood at that time. Besides, she needed that time to sort out her ideas. The talk she had with Charlotte helped her to feel better, as she needed to vent to someone she trusted, but that did not erase the worry that invaded her mind and doubts began to invade her heart.\n\n[i]-What happened to Doug? He changed a lot in the last few weeks, he was always so affectionate and kind to us. Something very bad must have happened, something so serious that he doesn't want to tell me[/i]- Delilah thought as she continued walking. The lamp posts lit the night, fighting to break the heavy darkness. A cold wind blew hard, causing the female dalmatian to have chills, but that did not stop her, so she continued to advance regardless of the merciless weather. Her mind was too busy with all sorts of theories to help explain her husband's strange behavior and estrangement.\n\n[i]-What could it be? Problem with money? I don't think so. We both work and although sometimes we are short of money, it is not something that prevents us from supporting the family. Will it be the children? I doubt it, I know my puppies aren't the quietest in the city, but their antics don't happen to bigger things and Doug has been very permissive, he has never scolded them and he is very affectionate with them. Could be problems in his job? Maybe he'll have a problem with someone at the fire station, although I know his colleagues and they're good people! Ouch!!! My paws are killing me!!! I guess it was not a good idea to wear these shoes for walking, may I had put something more comfortable[/i].\n\nDespite the discomfort she suffered Delilah kept her step and continued to walk unstoppable, while her mind analyzed other options, and began to climb to more rugged scenarios that she did not want to address, but that at that moment became more palpable, and involved more realistic aspects, too realistic,extremely realistic to her. \n\n[i]- What if all this is....... by another woman? Maybe..... he will be cheating on me with someone else? That......that would explain everything.....I don't want to think about that!!!! But what if it turns out to be true?[/i]\n\nThat idea began to materialize in his head with force, and more she thought about it, more real it became. She wanted to go over other options, but it all led to the same one: an affair. In that momento an irrational fear and a feeling of emptiness started to invaded her, not noticing that she had strayed from the main street and was passing through some darker and poorly lit streets, but it did not take her importance and her mind was more focused on that thought. The mere thought of her husband having an affair with another female was more than enough to explain his behavior and this idea tormented Delilah in her troubled heart. \n\n[i]-So many years married and now you are cheating on me, surely it is with someone younger and attractive. If so, at least I want to hear it from his own voice, I don't want to hear it from third parties and gosips, I want Doug tell me and tell me now!![/i] -Delilah thought. She grabbed her bag and took out her phone. Her fingers keyed the screen nervously until she managed to find her husband's cell phone number, dialed it and waited for it to respond. At least five tones passed without response, and each was a slow agony for the female dalmatian. An explosive mixture of anger and fear crowded inside him, causing her heart to beat with the force of a train. Suddenly, she trembled at the sound of a voice on the other side of the line.\n\n-Doug?s here, please leave your message- said the pre-recorded voice, a sign that he hadn't answered the call, something that somehow relieved her, but at the same time made her desperate. \n\n-Doug, it's Delilah, I.... I want......... I want to talk to you because I'm.......... I'm very worried about......... WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME!!!! DON'T YOU TRUST ME? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING? WE HAVE TO TALK, I WANT AN ANSWER AND I WANT IT NOW!!! - cried the fully exalted dalmatian and hung up. She leaned on a pole, breathing agitately and about to have a panic attack. She wanted to cry and scream to remove all that stress, but common sense made her realize that she was in the middle of the street, so she did her best to calm down. She began to breathe deeply and then exhaled the air through her mouth, repeating this several times in order to calm down, something she learned from Charlotte, who taught her it when her first husband died. A few moments later she got up more relaxed and resumed her way until she saw a dark alley in which she got into. She picked up her phone again and dialed Doug's number to call him. She waited again on the line and after several tones, she hear the same recorded message. She hung up the call and dialed once more, getting the same result. She knew that could only mean two things: her husband had his cell phone off........or he did not want to answer. Enraged, Delilah furiously threw the cell phone to the ground. The strength of the ever-stoic dalmatian female reached its limit, the pressure was too much and her husband's lack of response was the final thrust to bring down her strength. A stream of tears ran down her face and a sense of despair invaded her chest, as if it were a sharp dagger tearing slowly and painfully her heart and hurting the depths of her soul. She eventually fell to her knees on the ground, threw her bag and covered her face with her hands as she sobbed harshly and painfully.\n\n[i]-Doug..... Why are you doing this to me? What did I do to stop you from loving me? [/i]Delilah thought sadly. She continued to cry for a while, releasing that anguish that she had contained for several weeks inside. She hadn't felt this way since she lost her previous husband, Donovan, and again that dark scenario was overwhelming her. The simple thought of fate once again truncating her happiness made her cry harder. The darkness of the night was the only witness and confidant of the pain suffered by the unfortunate dalmatian.\n\nAfter crying for several minutes, Delilah took a brief breath and slowly began to calm down, although she still sobbed less. She needed to let off steam to get rid of that accumulated tension and clear her tormented mind. First thought she had was her family, her always loved cubs, those she had raised in recent years. For a moment, she thought about what Dolly and Dylan would say if they saw her in such a deplorable state, and she also remembered Charlotte's words of encouragement that evening. All this made her reconsider what was happening, seeing things more clearly.\n\n[i]-*Sniff sniff* For the love of dogs, what am I doing? Control yourself Delilah!!! I have to stop this pathetic show. Charlotte's right, I have to calm down, it's not the end of the world. I need to be strong, for the sake of my children. We're gonna give Doug a chance to straighten things out, maybe this is all a misunderstanding and I'm overreacting, maybe it's a whole different matter that's bothering him, if it is the case, i'll listen to him calmly and we'll both figure out a way to solve it, but... if it turns out he's cheating on me with another woman..........I'll MAKE HIM PAY DEARLY!!!! I'll get him out of my life and never let him near my family again!!! Be careful Doug, you better not make me angry!!! [/i]That last thought brought tears to her eyes again, but this time they were of deep hatred, something she had never felt before. She resumed the breathing exercise and once she calmed down, regained her composure. Wiped her tears with the sleeve of her coat and took a deep breath. She was going to get up when she heard the sound of her cell phone. The screen was crashed, but she still saw someone calling, so she crawled over to look at it closely.\n\n[i]-Perhaps.... Is it Doug?[/i] Delilah thought. She looked at the screen and despite the damage she had could see who it was, and with some disappointment she managed to distinguish the photo of her friend Charlotte.\n\n[i]-*Sigh* I pretty sure she wants to know how I am, I'd better answer[/i]- Delilah thought. She was about to take her cell phone when an unknown force grabbed her from behind, lifted her up, and then a huge and beefy arm closed around her neck, holding her tightly. \n\n-BUT WHAT THE......... HELP ME!!!!! -Delilah shouted, receiving in response a strong knee in her right thigh that numbed her leg, causing her to lose her balance and forcing her to kneel again. Although she was tall and strong, she was no match for her mysterious attacker, who seemed to be much larger and surpass her in strength and speed. The muscular arm encircled her neck again, subduing her completely. Immediately, another hand placed a rag on her nose and muzzle, preventing her from breathing. The dalmatian female perceived a very penetrating and disturbingly familiar smell: chloroform. She was terrified because she guessed what was going on, what made her panic. She tried to struggle to find a way to get rid of her captor before the chemical took effect, but the stranger's strength overwhelmed her, forcing her to inhale the dangerous compound, so she cried as she realized she had no escape.\n\n[i]-Doug.... where.... are you? Ple.......please... help....me..........[/i] Delilah thought in her last moments aware. Gradually she weakened until her body ran out of strength to sustain herself. Her gaze blurred and a few moments later she lost consciousness. Once she was knocked out, the stranger carried her over his shoulder with easy and walked quietly towards a van that was parked across the street. He opened the side door and placed the female dog inside, then took a backpack and subtracted some plastic zips and a huge knife. He entered the van and after several minutes, the kidnapper exited the vehicle in complete calm, walked to the place where the belongings of the dalmatian were located and collected her handbag and her cell phone. He returned to the van, started the engine and left the place, disappearing under the cover of night. Silence reigned in the streets again and there was no trace of the dalmatian in the city of Candem, except for the tears she shed in that dark alley.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "

-*Sniff sniff* For the love of dogs, what am I doing? Control yourself Delilah!!! I have to stop this pathetic show. Charlotte's right, I have to calm down, it's not the end of the world. I need to be strong, for the sake of my children. We're gonna give Doug a chance to straighten things out, maybe this is all a misunderstanding and I'm overreacting, maybe it's a whole different matter that's bothering him, if it is the case, i'll listen to him calmly and we'll both figure out a way to solve it, but... if it turns out he's cheating on me with another woman..........I'll MAKE HIM PAY DEARLY!!!! I'll get him out of my life and never let him near my family again!!! Be careful Doug, you better not make me angry!!! That last thought brought tears to her eyes again, but this time they were of deep hatred, something she had never felt before. She resumed the breathing exercise and once she calmed down, regained her composure. Wiped her tears with the sleeve of her coat and took a deep breath. She was going to get up when she heard the sound of her cell phone. The screen was crashed, but she still saw someone calling, so she crawled over to look at it closely.

-Perhaps.... Is it Doug? Delilah thought. She looked at the screen and despite the damage she had could see who it was, and with some disappointment she managed to distinguish the photo of her friend Charlotte.

-*Sigh* I pretty sure she wants to know how I am, I'd better answer- Delilah thought. She was about to take her cell phone when an unknown force grabbed her from behind, lifted her up, and then a huge and beefy arm closed around her neck, holding her tightly.

-BUT WHAT THE......... HELP ME!!!!! -Delilah shouted, receiving in response a strong knee in her right thigh that numbed her leg, causing her to lose her balance and forcing her to kneel again. Although she was tall and strong, she was no match for her mysterious attacker, who seemed to be much larger and surpass her in strength and speed. The muscular arm encircled her neck again, subduing her completely. Immediately, another hand placed a rag on her nose and muzzle, preventing her from breathing. The dalmatian female perceived a very penetrating and disturbingly familiar smell: chloroform. She was terrified because she guessed what was going on, what made her panic. She tried to struggle to find a way to get rid of her captor before the chemical took effect, but the stranger's strength overwhelmed her, forcing her to inhale the dangerous compound, so she cried as she realized she had no escape.

-Doug.... where.... are you? Ple.......please... help....me.......... Delilah thought in her last moments aware. Gradually she weakened until her body ran out of strength to sustain herself. Her gaze blurred and a few moments later she lost consciousness. Once she was knocked out, the stranger carried her over his shoulder with easy and walked quietly towards a van that was parked across the street. He opened the side door and placed the female dog inside, then took a backpack and subtracted some plastic zips and a huge knife. He entered the van and after several minutes, the kidnapper exited the vehicle in complete calm, walked to the place where the belongings of the dalmatian were located and collected her handbag and her cell phone. He returned to the van, started the engine and left the place, disappearing under the cover of night. Silence reigned in the streets again and there was no trace of the dalmatian in the city of Candem, except for the tears she shed in that dark alley.
