Chapter 5

Ben had placed a call to the private investigator that Maria had used to discover information on herself during the time that she had amnesia. Ben smiled when he hung up the phone. "Well we know the guy is good." His smile was really about the fact what Maria had done was one of the many times she had put his needs before her own. Even when she lost her memory she still put him first. "Ben, I think that I should see Dr. Estrada, I'm going to try and be hypnotized maybe I'll be able to remember something more about Seattle." Just then Tess unlocked the door and walked in. Ben pretended not to hear her. "That's a good idea since I couldn't get any useful information during my trip." "I'm sorry I couldn't help but over hearing, you want to hypnotized Maria, I didn't think that was a good idea." Tess was so relived that Ben didn't learn anything about her. "Tess Ben and I were having a private conversation that I would like to finish." Maria caught on to what Ben was doing and played along. "Okay, I'll just go upstairs then." Tess said in her usual 'I'm the helpful Nanny' voice. "Actually Tess, Maria and I wanted to take a walk can you keep an eye on Benji. "Ofcourse I can." She smiled. Tess went upstairs and Ben shut the door infront of him but motioned for Maria to be quiet. Maria, snuck upstairs and saw that Tess was in the bathroom she snuck into her closet. Ben had gone into the Den and took out the wiretap he purchased. Tess entered her room and took out her cell phone placing a call. "Derek thank god you are there... No they didn't find anything out...So Theresa is still at the orphanage, I was hoping the brat was adopted... Benji is still playing along and Maria is still clueless...I love you too." Tess hung up the phone and fell asleep. This gave enough chance for Maria to sneak out of her room. She told Ben what she had over heard. "Well good, we have something to go on now. Tomorrow, you Benji and me are going to Disney world. Except Benji is going to stay with a real nanny and you and I are going Seattle." Ben wasn't going to rest until he found his daughter. He saw the distressed look on Maria's face and took her into his arms. "Maria, we'll find her I promise."
