It’s Naomi.
“You really have guts.” I tell her and she smiles, revealing her pearling white teeth.“I just want to check up on you, love.” She says in a giddy tone.“Yeah, after you almost killed me!” I say to her and she rolls her eyes.“So dramatic..I only paralyzed you, sweetheart. If I wanted you dead, trust me, you would have been.” She says with a straight face.“You are playing with fire, Naomi.” I warn her and she chuckles.“My favorite toy.” She replies.“And I want to wish you the best of luck, because you would certainly need it, love.” She adds and I clench my jaw.She is really on my last nerves. I just want to wrap my hands around her neck and choke the life out of her.“Why do I even need luck?” I inquire and she smirks.“You are so slow..the Russell offer, Jen.” She makes me understand and I purse my lips.“Again, why do I even need luck?” I say once more.“I dDespite Robert’s loud tone, James does not flinch. He simply lifts his head up and looks at his boss.“I am sorry.” He says clearly and him saying that triggers Robert even more.Robert lifts his hand to punch James on the jaw, but I stop him.“Robert..” I say his name and he puts his fist down.“Don’t you think you’re overreacting a bit?” I ask him and he chuckles dryly.“I’m overreacting?” He asks incredulously.“Jen, that stupid maid could be at the police station as we speak! That would not just ruin the plans for today, but that would highly incriminate me!” He yells in my face.His breathing is labored and his eyes are full of anger.“But what I am most afraid of is losing you.” He says and then he turns around and walks away.“Robert, wait.” I call after him, but he ignores me and puts more distance between us by going to his room.I sigh loudly and I look to James. He is standing in a formal manner as he stares at me.“James, you know wha
“Oh my god..” Amanda cries and my heart aches for her.It seems like she and Jessie were close friends. This must be troubling news for her.I take my attention from on her and I speak on the phone.“James, how did this happen? Did you..” I begin but I don’t complete my sentence.“Oh, gosh no. Why would I kill her?” He responds.“Then let me know what happened?” I inquire.To be honest, Jessie dying may be sad and unfortunate, but it takes a major obstacle out of our way.We don’t have to worry about anyone going to the police or destroying our plans.“Well, I listened to you and I took Carlos along. We have the residential address of all our employees and Jessie was not an exception.” He begins.“Carlos and I went at her place and luckily for us, she was exiting a cab right in front of her house. When she got down, we parked our car not too far from her and we advanced towards her.” James explains.
Ten minutes?!“Oh, alright. See you then.” He says in a tortured tone and then the call ends.“Robert, we can’t do ten minutes.” I tell him with a straight face.“Well, we have no choice, do we?” He replies as he begins to walk around the house, looking everywhere.I follow him as he does this with confusion plastered on my face.“What are you doing?” I ask him.We don’t have time for this!“I’m making sure that everyone is gone.” He replies and I relax a bit. He continues to walk from room to room as he checks around.That’s actually a good idea. And as he is doing that, I can prepare the syringe by filling it with a lethal drug that could knock out an elephant in five seconds. That would do the trick.I walk away from him as he continues his much needed search. I then climb the stairs and I enter Robert’s bedroom.When I am inside, I realize that I don’t have my leather jacket or any of my eq
Instead of Robert placing the phone to his ear, he situates it before his face as if it is a video call.“Hello, Lieutenant.” Robert answers and James, Carlos, and I stare at Robert as he converses with the man.“I am at the gate, but I don’t think I would be coming in anymore.” He states and Robert face holds the same look of confusion as mine.“Why?” He asks as he gestures for James and Carlos to go the back of the house.“Because I now know the truth..me walking in there with my arms swinging would eventually lead to my demise.” He says confidently.“How does he know?” I mouth to Robert and he shrugs.“Listen here, old sport. I have known you for a very long while, I even know your parents. Let’s make this easier...escort the young lady out and I will simply keep you out of the case.” He gives a good bargain and I can tell that Robert is mentally chewing on it.A look crosses his face that shows that I have to get the
Everything is happening so fast and the adrenaline running through me is thrilling.James and Carlos rush past me as they hurry towards the cars parked next to the house.The sirens are getting closer and closer with each passing second, while Robert looks like he is about to lose it.I walk past the automated gate and into the yard while Robert follows closely behind me.“Jen, we need to talk about what you are doing.” Robert says and I scoff.I stop in my tracks as I see James driving one of the cars toward us.“Robert, the police are on their way, the Lieutenant is dead, the plan has gone to hell, does this look like the right time to talk?” I ask him and he gulps as he nods.“You’re right.” He says and then the black SUV parks right next to us.Carlos gets down and opens the door for Robert to step in and he does. I on the other hand open my side of the car quickly and I step in without help.C
“Now tell me what it is..” Chad beckons for me to explain.“There is not much to explain. I will simply be taking credit for killing the Lieutenant.” I inform him and he sighs.“Don’t try to convince me otherwise, because I am not changing my mind.” I add and he chuckles lightly.“Trust me, I’m not. This would be payback for Naomi paralyzing you, she crossed a line.” He says.“So what do you need me to do?” He asks and James park the car right in front of the airport.We have arrived.“Let’s hurry, we don’t have much time.” Robert says as he opens his side of the door.He gets down and so does Carlos and James. I am the last one to leave the car.“Umm..Chad, I would need to quickly block Naomi from making any international calls.” I tell him.“Oh, so she can’t get in touch with Russell.” Chad hits the point.“Okay, it would take a while, but I’m on it.” He adds.We all are now walking
The private jet is out of fuel, which inevitably means that I have to make an emergency landing.With me being Wanted, this is going to be hard. “How far are we from London?” James asks frantically.This is serious, but it seems comical watching James react like this. He is almost always stoic and nonchalant. But he is genuinely afraid for his life and for ours too.I check the coordinates and I realize that we have been flying for a while now, for we are literally in London already.“We’re here, we’re in London.” I tell him and he takes in deep and steady breaths to calm himself.I take my seat at where the pilot is to sit and I begin to take the plane off auto pilot.I have not been in London for years, but my memory is still sharp and I can remember a lot.“If we can remain flying for about..” I say as I look at the watch on my wrist.“For about nine more minutes, then we would be able to reach an o
James despite how he was “alarmed” at first is now calm though we are going towards the runway with growing speed.“Any ideas?” I seek from James and he looks deep in thought.“Okay. To begin the slow flight maneuver, clear the area and gradually reduce thrust from cruise power and adjust the pitch to allow the airspeed to decrease while maintaining altitude. As the speed of the airplane decreases, note a change in the sound of the airflow around the airplane.” James informs me and I gape.What the hell? This is impressive!“Wow.” I say and he shrugs with a smile.“That is, if my memory serves me right.” He replies.“No, you’re absolutely right. That would work!” I say with hope in my voice.“So let’s start with reducing thrust from the cruise power.” James say and we do exactly that.After we follow his instruction, nothing much changes.“It’s not working.” I complain and he blinks rapid
