Just thought Id stop in to chat, Shane kept her facial expression as neutral as possible and looked at Jack blocking the front door. We wanted to get your side of what happened to Marina. Francescas eyes widened and she started down the remainder of the stairs.

I dont know what you mean. Francesca pushed by Shane and walked towards the front door.

I think you do, Shane said walking up behind the woman.

Let me by, Francesca said, glaring at Jack. He may have only been seventeen, but the kid was tall and bulky. That was exactly why Shane had called him.

Sorry lady you aint goin nowhere, he said placing his entire frame in front of the door and crossing his arms on his chest.

Francesca threw her clothes on the floor and whirled around to face Shane. What is this? Are you planning on exacting some kind of revenge for that *****? Even with what had happened, Francesca maintained the eloquence that was normal in her speech.

No no we just want to make sure you get whats coming to ya, Shane replied feeling sick. Not one bit of remorse! She could have killed Marina! she thought looking at the woman that she had once been attracted to. And we arent leaving until you do. So why dont you have a seat on the couch over there?

Since when have I ever taken orders from someone like you Shane? Francesca asked contemptuously.

Since now. Shane nodded at Jack and he wrapped his arms around Francesca from behind. The woman kicked and struggled, but the kid was too strong for her. Jack carried Francesca to the couch and threw her on it. The angry woman attempted to get up, but was immediately pushed back onto the couch. I suggest you keep your ***** right there. You dont want to make us do something youll regret. Shane let her anger show in her voice this time as she joined Jack in front of Francesca. They both stood over the fuming woman and looked down at her.

You cant keep me here, Francesca spat.

We can and we will at least until the police show up, Shane replied with a deadly calm. At the mention of the authorities, Francesca attempted to rise again. This time, Shane was the one that returned her to the couch. I said sit you ***** *****! Shane screamed at the redhead. Placing her hands on either side of Francescas head, Shane leant over and put her face inches from Francescas as she said her next words. Youre lucky Im not here to ***** kill you after what you did, she said menacingly. Standing upright again, she said, Now I suggest you sit there and keep your goddamn mouth shut. The defiant woman did a she was told. It was obvious that, while submissive for now, her brain was working out how she could get out of this situation.
