The Wild Orchid

Chapter 10

                The following morning Phalen and Gabby where woken up by the sound of complete chaos at headquarters. Curious about what was causing all the commotion they dressed quickly and rushed out of their room. When they rushed out of their room they practically crashed into Riley and Conner. Riley and Conner were rushing down the hall to see what all the commotion was about. The four of them heard a shit ton of commotion coming from Katherine's office. As they barged into the office they all had to duck to avoid being clocked in the head by a potted plant being thrown across the room. They all exclaimed at the same time, "Holy hellfire Kat what's going on? By the way thanks for almost taking our fucking heads off with the plant you threw."

                 Katherine turned to face them. She was crying in complete anger. When she saw them she took some slow deep breathes then replied still crying, "Sadistic bastard, Michelle, letter, shit he'll hurt her." Phalen grabs Katherine by her shoulders looks in her eyes and says, "Kat you need to try to calm down some more. You're completely talking in riddles and you're not making any sense damn it. Take a few more deep breathes sit down and tell us again what the hell is going on." As Kat sat down on the couch trembling she took another deep breath and said, "I received this letter this morning." She temporarily paused then read the letter out loud.

                                  The letter

                    Katherine, if you ever want to see your sister again alive and well, meet me at the Orchid Inn. You must come alone. You, I'm sure remember just how sadistic I can be.

                                  Yours truly,
                               Bane Jacobson

                  Phalen seethed with anger and was infuriated. She looked into Kat's eyes and replied, "I've had enough of this sadistic asshole. I'm taking Gabby, Conner, and Riley with me. The four of us are going take care of and deal with this mother fucker." With that Phalen abruptly got up from the couch. Phalen motioned for the three of them to follow. She then rushed out the door with them in tow before Katherine could stop them. They arrived at the Orchid Inn moments later. When they walked in they approached Sassy and said, "Where is Bane the sadistic asshole! He sent a letter to Katherine threatening her with the safety of Michelle. Point him out to me. Oh, you may not want to see what'll happen next."

                 Sassy gave Phalen a stern ass look and said, "Don't you dare do anything stupid Phalen. You are extremely strong but he could kill you. I'm staying right here to keep an eye on you. By the way he's right there." After she pointed him out Phalen walked up to him. Phalen then shoved him up against the wall. She then followed it with a right hook busting his lip open. Phalen then retorted, "Where is Michelle you son of a bitch! Before you can even ask we came because Kathrine doesn't trust your ass. So I'll ask you again, where's Michelle?"

                 Bane smiled while wiping the blood from his lip. He motioned for his men to stand down. By doing this he made it clear that he would handle it. Then he smiled amusingly at Phalen then replied, "Why Phalen you have such a fire burning in you. It's the same fire I have seen before that also burned in your bitch of a mother. That's such a wonderful thing to see. By the way, that's the best right hook I've ever been hit with. Precious Michelle is safe and sound for the time being. It's a shame Katherine didn't have the guts to meet me herself. I'm not always a sadistic asshole. I can be a great guy. Make sure you tell Kathrine that she's missing out on a great guy to be with that bitch she's with." This in turn pissed Phalen off even more to the point her eyes turned blue. That's when she landed another right/left hook drawing more blood on Bane. He smiled and said, "I'm truly impressed with your outstanding courage. It makes me think of the military. You act so combative. It's quite amusing. Just so we are clear, this is far from over. When I'm ready to establish what I want for the safe return of her sister I'll get in touch. For now though, enjoy your day." With that he left with his goons.
