Knowing she is pregnant, he starts to search at the local OB’s. Bringing a picture of her and his John personality, he explained to sympathetic receptionists and nurses, that his wife had disappeared and she is pregnant and he needs to find her.
After searching a week, with no results, he starts at the abortion clinics. She better not have killed his son! The hypocrisy of this thought doesn’t occur to him. A true sociopath, he gives no thought to anyone save himself. She hasn’t visited them either.
“Bloody f*CK, where is she?” he stumps out after checking at the last clinic in London. He also can’t imagine her leaving the city. The narcissist in him thinks her incapable of living to far away from him.
He had started his search at her work. Her co-workers had treating him with the respect he deserved, giving him one word answers and cold shoulders. He had finally lost his temper, screaming at them. “She is my bloody wife and I’ve a right to know where she is!”
The little blonde thing that always seemed to be working with her, responded to this with fury. “Your wife! To you think that makes her your property! You are a right ass. I pray Claire is far away from you and she never returns. You think you are so smart.” She scowls. “We have all seen the bruises she tries to hide. You are a bloody bully and Claire is well away from you!”
The other one, with the French accent, pulls her away. “Come Laughaire. That is enough.” She doesn’t like the look on his face, a look her mate was to furious to see.
“Alright Annalise.”
Black Jack smiles at recalling, despite his frustration with the search. Laughaire will be his next experiment as soon as he has secured his child.
