Am her mother and am worried with Diana, she has been acting up with the issue of Grace and yesterday I didn’t like her statement” the mother to Dingile stated making Jack put the phone on loud speaker to enable Ben hear everything too.
“Okey am listening mam, what is going on with Diana?”
“she is upset about her not coming back and yesterday she said if Grace will not accept her as her mother, then she will not allow her to be anyone else`s”
“What? She said that?” Jack asked holding his face fear of what Diana would do griping his throat he swallowed hard.

“Am not sure what she meant but her son came running to me this afternoon and told me his mother has travelled to Lusaka. I wanted to call Grace and let her know something is going on with her mother but her line is off. So I decided to call you since Dingi told me she is staying with you that side. Just tell Grace to watch out and find a better way to settle issues with her mother” Dingile`s mother concluded.

“Well, am glad you called mam, unfortunately Grace is missing and we are not sure where she is”
“What did this son to Diana say when he met you apart from letting you know his mother was in coming here?” Ben chirped in.
“Who is that?” Dingi`s mother asked hearing someone else speak in.
“Um, his is the biological father to Grace, I came to inform him about Grace before you called.

“well, if I were you I would be worried now, Diana is not thinking right and she can do something to that poor girl, try to find her before it’s too late, I didn’t like her words at all and her son thinks she is up to no good. ” the woman added before cutting the line. Ben paced around now worried.
“What are we going to do now?” Jack asked rubbing his chin.
“ we are going to find my baby Jack, that is what we will do, this minute we are going to report to the police and find her whatever it takes” he remarked walking out and Jack followed him nodding in agreement.
“Where are you going Ben? What happened, won’t you tell me where my girl is?” Jena asked seeing Ben and Jack rushing out.
“My love, stay calm we will be back soon” Ben responded stopping in his steps.
“No, what is going on, why do you two look like that and what were you discussing in there?” Jena held her husband`s hand.
“Grace could have been kidnapped by Diana” Been whispered to avoid the kids getting him.

“What?” Jena stepped back
“Yes love, there is a strong suspicion she has her because Grace would not go back to her. But we will find her don’t worry go in and stay with the kids I will keep in touch” he added
“No, am going with you Ben, there is no way am sitting here when…”

“No my love, just stay home okey, trust me well will do all we can to find her and bring her back home” Ben responded and kissed her before walking out to join Jack outside.
“Let’s use my car Jack” he indicated opening the car with a remote key before he could get there.

An hour later, they had reported at the police station who told them it was not going to be considered a missing case yet until after 2 days, given it was not a baby missing but a woman who could have decided to get off her phone and go out of town or somewhere where she didn’t want anyone to find her.
