Chapter Twenty Four

Calliope

"And so, wrapping it up, with this theory, I am proud to say, that my project with robotic, brain trained prothetics was a success!"Applause fills the room, people on their feet.I clear my throat. "I would like to dedicate this project to an old best friend of mine, Derek Shepard. I am proud to have finished our project, for he was unable to. I would also like to dedicate this project to my beautiful, beautiful wife Arizona whom inspired my project. I love you, Arizona."Looking up, a single tear runs down my face. "And I love you, Derek. I miss you."Smiling at the crowd once more, I walk off of the stage. "Your phone is a mad house!" My manager says, handing me my phone. "Thanks, Bert! You were a great manager."He nods, walking away. I switch on my phone, seeing what he meant when he said "mad house".

Immediately, I call Mark. "TORRES!" He screams, answering it. "Mark! What is it? What's wrong?""It's Arizona." He says. "She's gone. Missing. The kitchen had a bloody knife on the floor, and the place is trashed. In the apartment security cameras, Whitney is back. She only got two weeks in prison, Cal. She walked in, and left with Arizona, dragging her by the hair. Cal, you need to come home. Now!"
