“What’s the plan when we get there, Peggy?” I ask with the biggest worry in my voice.

“We convince him to take our offer. I have just as many men as he does. We will make a deal.”

“Aren’t we also going to try and stop him?”

“He will be stopped.” Peggy says in a serious tone. “We’ll have him tracked to wherever his location is. We will get everything back, just leave that to me.”

I sit here listening to Peggy while impatiently waiting to land and be escorted into the vehicle.

My body fills with worry while thinking about Tina.

We quickly make our way to the vehicle after stepping from the jet. When we step inside the  Black Mercedes, we start to hear the ringing of the computers FaceTime.

“Get us there now.” Peggy says.

I look at her before pressing the connect button.

He appears on the screen with Kelly beside him.

“So what have you chosen?” Peggy asks.

“Can you believe all that I have been offered today?” He grins. “And all by very stunning women.”

He ignores our question and begins to chuckle.

His screen then flips from his computer to a phone and from the front to the back camera.

The view is blurry until it starts to focus and I see James.

My hands cover over my mouth quickly when I see him tied to a chair with a bit of blood running down his nose.

“What did you do to him?!” My voice raises angrily into the microphone.

“This guy here. He tried to pull a smart one.”

“Let him go.” My voice rising again. “Now.”

“Those ladies are pretty smart, I’ll give them that. That blonde, she’s clever.”

He pauses and chuckles.

“They actually knocked one of my men out and stripped him from his clothing, then had this guy right here.” He says as his hand reaches out to poke at James’ face. “This guy to act as one of my men.”

He pauses again.

“But thanks to this lovely woman for telling me all about it.”

I close my eyes in anger thinking about how Kelly had once again mischievously and vindictively done yet again no good.

“He went with my offer.” Kelly says butting in. “Did you actually think I was going to help your lover after what you guys have done to me?”
