Dave
I went to my office to handle some business. Christina has my head on a swivel. She hasn't made any moves to run but her attitude tells me she's planning on it. She's under constant surveillance she wouldn't get far.
I heard from one of my moles that the feds would be visiting one of my other properties today to conduct a warrant.

They would look everywhere but here. My main house would be too obvious that's why I kept her here. Hiding her in plain sight helps they'd never look here because they wouldn't suspect I'd keep her here but I am. I'm sure they're looking at everyone her punk ass husband owes money to as potential suspects. If that's the case I'm on a long list of potential kidnappers. This was expected which is why I was already prepared.

"Boss, you got a visitor."
I looked up to see Agent Chesney smirking.

"Well Mr. East we meet again, how's the Mayors Wife doing?"

"Ion know what the fuck you're talking about Chesney."

"Oh cmon East you the only nigga bold and cold enough to do some shit like this."

"I'm not following."

"Whatever, look handle your business East the nigga deserves it, you doing us a favor to. Because of this he has to disclose all his financial dealings and this is helping us build a case for the money he's laundering through his campaign funding."

"None of this is applicable to me, but good luck on finding her."

"Keep her a few more months East. If you don't have her I know you know who does send the word we don't want her found until we've uncovered enough to bury her husband. This kindnapping has given us access to records we wouldn't be able to touch without a viable warrant which we have no reason to obtain suspicion doesn't arise to the level of probable cause but with her missing we have all the cause needed to look into his financial dealings. Oh, and her birthday is tomorrow so he's planning on doing a big press conference just an FYI."

I didn't respond I gave my security a look which let them know to see Chesney out. I made a mental note of tomorrow being Christina's birthday. Maybe I'll have the kitchen bake her a cake or something. I stopped that thought...why did I care?!

12:00 A.M. - Christina's Birthday

Christina
I heard a knock on my door, and East entered with a woman with a bag on her head behind him. It took me awhile to notice that it was my mother! He pulled the bag off of her  and I ran to her and gave her the longest hug.

"Oh baby I'm so glad you're okay! I can't stay long but I'm so glad he's letting me see you" she glanced at East who had stern look on his face.

"I agreed to let her see you to calm your nerves and because it's your birthday. Your mom has agreed to not mumble a word to anyone in exchange" he said giving my mom a stern glance.

"I won't say a thing. I'm going to talk to your husband about getting this man his money. I've offered him triple and he still won't accept it."

"It's not the money it's the principle. Her husband has done this for a third time and each time someone bails him out. He needs to bail himself out" Dave interjected.

"I agree" my mom stated silently.

She stayed for a few more moments before his security came to retrieve her putting the bag over her head again before leading her out.

Dave turned to me "I promise no harm will come to your mom, the bag is only a precaution so she won't give up your location."

"I know" I mumbled before bursting into tears. I married the wrong man my husband still hasn't "saved" me and now I'll be spending a birthday in captivity.
