Leila was finally let out of the house but not far. She was allowed to take a swim and sunbathe by the pool. Wohoo, she said sarcastically when one of the guards told her the news.

-"And Julian?"- she asked. -"Will he be joining us?"

-"Mr. Hart has a meeting."- the man explained. -"But I'm sure it won't be long until he is here."

She wished that she could call her sister. Angie must be worrying sick.

-"Hey..."-she called the guard. -"Where is Toby?"

-"Toby was dismissed, miss."- the guard told her.

-"Dismissed?! Why?"- she asked and the man shrugged his sholders. -"Mr. Harts decision mam."

That bastard, she thought.

After what it seems to be an hour spent sunbathing on the deck, she almost fell asleep when his deep voice startled her.

-"I must tell you I'm not too thrilled about allowing you this." -he said as he looked at her almost naked. She must've chosen the smallest bikini she could find.

She ignored his comment but rather asked: -"Where is Toby, Julian?"

The way she would say his name, made him crazy.

He smirked. -"Gone."

-"Why?!"

-"He touched what is mine."

She looked at him. -"You really think that don't you? You think I'm yours?? I'll never be yours!"

-"Look at this situation you're in, Leila. Given who your father is, you must admit I ain't that bad." -he tried to give her another perspective of this.

She would have none of that.

-"You knew it's not Toby's fault!" -she went back to easier battles.

-"Still..."- he aproached her, puting his hand on her naked sholder caressing gently her skin as he spoke. -"No one, not on purpose or by accident, can put his hands on you."

She got goosebumps from his touch and she hated it.

-"Can I call my sister?"- she took of her sunglasses looking him deeply into his eyes. -"Please, Julian?"

-"Not yet, baby. But soon. I promise." - he kissed the back of her head.

She got up from the deck chair putting quickly a shirt on and on her way out of there she just said to him: -"Fuck you."

He smiled to himself, at least she's not boring, he thought.

...

-"Do you want to tell us now about yourself?" -Miles started seeing that their guest had her lunch and was now looking rested and ok.

-"My name is Carmen Ariza. I come from Toledo, Spain."

That explains the accent, Dylan thought.

-"What are you doing in Costa Rica, Carmen?"- Drew asked.

-"That's a sad story." - she looked like she could cry. -"I was kidnapped while traveling Europe and was brought here. I wanted to travel before going to college, so I took a year off."

-"Why were you traveling alone? You must've known it's dangerous." -Miles asked.

-"I wasn't alone! I had two friends with me but unfortenately once they took us they seperated us." -she explained.

-"Human trafficking. I knew it. Maybe it has something to do with the dissappearence of Leila after all." -Miles concluded.

-"Yeah, maybe John Reins doesn't even know his daughter is missing. No one can get ahold of him."- Drew said.

-"We need to call Jason." -Miles added.

-"Don't worry Carmen, we'll get you home safely." -Dylan said.

-"Noo!" -she objected to everyones surprise. -" I can't go back before I find my friends."

Drew was now studying her once again.

-"Wouldn't you be happier if you can be with your family and notfy the authorities about what happened to you?" -Dylan asked.

-"I think we all now that in this case police is useless." -she said.

They couldn't argue. Human trafficking is a nasty business that nearly never has happy ending.

-"Well...luckily for you then Carmen, we also need to find those people that brought you to Costa Rica. And you can help us." -Miles said and everyone agreed.

-"Partners?" -Dylan suggested to her shaking her hand.

She gladly accepted. -"Partners." -she smiled.
