bullets and bouquets

"Okay Darling, I've got to take care of this with Jenna. It might be late when I get back," Sadie says to Bella. The brunette nods.

"Be safe, please?"

"Always," Sadie kisses her before leaving with Denmar. Today is the day that Florence will help Jenna 'leave' the business. While Sadie is away, Bella is directing the servants on where to place Jenna's things.

"Trent," she calls.

"Yes, Miss?"

"Make sure Jenna's items are brought in with all the care in the world," the brunette instructs.

"Yes, Miss," he answers. She walks up to the second level to direct the servants in putting Jenna's items away. That way, when she and Sadie come back to the Estate, the former gang leader won't have to unpack anything.

Florence and Sadie arrive at Jenna's mansion in the early afternoon. They will be recording a video of Jenna being 'killed' and sending it to all of her enemies. In reality, Florence will aim her gun, and shoot near Jenna but not at her. Sadie is rigging Jenna's body with dye packs so that she appears bloody.

All of the servants are already gone, most of them dismissed from their duties. Florence did keep a couple around for the video. They will sit in the background with their hands tied and mouths taped.

"Florence," Jenna says.

"Yes?"

"When we start recording, I want you to pistol whip me," she says. She and Sadie grow wide eyes.

"Jenna," Sadie interrupts, "That's not a good idea. You could get a concussion."

"You let Sabrina do it to you," she argues.

"Okay, but that was when our lives were actually being threatened," the redhead points out.

"I'll be okay. I want them to believe it. Hit me and don't hold back," Jenna turns to Florence. The British woman turns to Sadie who shrugs.

"Okay," she answers. Jenna stands up and puts her arms behind her back. Sadie begins to duct tape them. Florence ruffles Jenna's hair and splashes water on her face. This makes her mascara run and looks like she's been held captive.

"Ready?" Sadie asks. Jenna nods and the redhead places tape over her mouth. Sadie finishes taping up the servants and they sit down in a clump. Florence walks into the living room. She grabs Jenna by her wrists and picks up her camera.

"Ready?" she asks. Jenna nods. She begins recording, "Hello friends of Jenna. I have her here with me right now and she's given her business over to me. Isn't that right?"

She pans the camera over to Jenna who shakes her head, pretending she's resisting.

"Let's put this camera over here," she sets the camera down on a table, setting up for the final act, "Jenna here, didn't want to work for me. So, she's graciously let me take over. Right?"

Jenna mumbles.

"This is my business now," Florence says into the camera. She turns and pistol-whips Jenna in the forehead, sending her to the floor. Jenna audibly groans and begins to shuffle away. This is unprompted as she wants to provoke Florence, "Uh, love, where do you think you're going?"

"Mmm!" Jenna grunts through the tape as the blonde woman grabs her by her legs. She drags her back over. Jenna continues to struggle and Florence has no choice but to hit her again. She punches Jenna in the mouth and her head lands behind her couch, where Sadie can detonate the dye packs.

"God, she's such a little roach," Florence groans. She cocks her gun and shoots at Jenna at the same time Sadie explodes the dye packs. Red shoots into the air, looking like blood spraying. The servants all mumble as if Jenna is dead. Florence then walks over toward the servants and they begin to whimper. This part is also unprompted. Florence drags one of the servants over, out of the camera's view, and shoots into the floor.

The servants scream through the tape. Florence repeats the action with the other three servants in the camera's view. When she "shoots" the last servant, she walks back into the camera's view. She huffs and wipes her forehead which has red dye on it.

"That took longer than expected," she huffs. She picks up the camera and ends the recording, "Toodle-loo!"

Sadie helps Jenna up. She carefully pulls the tape off. Jenna and Sadie then help the other servants out of their restraints.

"Well, that was easy," Jenna sighs. Sadie nods, "Thank you, Florence. We'll get going now."

"No, go shower and change. Then you can go," the blonde woman instructs, "You don't want to sit in those clothes forever."

She smiles, "Thank you."

Jenna stands up and walks off to go clean up.

"Let's clean up," Sadie says. Florence nods and the two go to find the cleaning supplies. The two gang leaders and the four servants begin to clean up the dye. Florence will also have to repair the tile that she shot the bullets into.

"Yes, put those right there okay?" Bella instructs. The servants diligently work to prepare Jenna's room, "Okay, what's next?"

"That was the last box, Miss," Trent informs her. She smiles.

"Awesome. You can all go now," she dismisses them. The servants leave the second level and she follows too. She decides she's going to take a shower. She closes her bedroom door and goes to the bathroom. As she turns on the water and begins to strip off her clothes, a pair of hands grab her, "Ahhh! What the fuck! Help! Help! Let me go!"

"Shhh," the hands cover her mouth.

"Ahhh! Lef me go! Help! Ahhh!" she struggles to break free when someone knocks her out.

"Trent, I hear shouting coming from Madame Sink's room," Cinna radios.

"Go, now, check on Miss Bella," he orders, "I'm on my way."

"Copy," Cinna replies. He bursts into the room, "Miss? Miss?"

The bedroom is empty, but he hears the shower. He walks into the bathroom. A window is open.

"Weston, check the cameras! Someone has Miss Bella!" Cinna shouts into his radio. He goes to inspect the window.

"Copy," he replies.

"Attention! Car on the East side! Car on the East side!" someone relays over the radio. Cinna jumps through the window and spots the car. He pulls out his gun and begins to shoot. A couple of other servants also begin to shoot at the car.

"Weston! What do you have?" Trent radios.

"Four men broke into Madame Sink's bathroom. They knocked Miss Bella out," he answers.

"Fuck!" he curses, "Everyone meet me in conference room A, now!"

The servants make quick work to the conference room. Trent radios Denmar.

"Denmar, we have a situation," he says.

"What kind of situation?" he asks as Jenna and Sadie prepare to get onto the jet back to the Estate.

"Someone took Miss Bella."

"What?!?" Sadie answers, "What is she?"

"Ma'am, intruders broke into the bathroom. They drove off——"

"You better have some idea of who took her by the time I get back or you're all fired!" she interrupts him.

"Yes Ma'am," he answers. Sadie huffs and hands the walkie back to Denmar.

"Get working on security. Check all the files of enemies. We're getting on the jet now," Denmar orders.

"Yes, sir," Trent answers. The radio goes silent, "You heard them, let's go. I need you four with Weston. I need you four to start going through the files. I want all the cars out in Sicily on patrol, we need to find Miss Bella and fast."

"Yes, sir," the other servants answer. The men all leave the conference room to start investigating. They will all be lucky to keep their jobs if they find Bella.
