Roxette was taking a call in the long corridor adjoining the dining room.She had just finished her breakfast and wanted to have a word with Ptolemy.
" Why did you call yesterday?" She asked impatiently.
" Signora Annette has been kidnapped," he said.
" Where is she?" She pursued.
" She is at the station and Bob will be bringing her to my place at dark," he answered.
" Look I told you just scare her away, don't take a harsh step.She should leave Harry for good." Said Roxette.
" In that case you can come over and tell her yourself," he insisted.
" What if I don't?" She rapped out.
" It had better be you or I shall inform
Harry," said Ptolemy.
" I'll come once she's there," said Roxette.
" Don't forget to bring 500 thousand pounds."
" Yes only if she leaves Harry willingly."
As she got out a cold draft greeted her.She pulled her coat tightly over herself and drove away.
Bert came out looking for her and saw her drive away.
" She has just left Sir," said Bert.
" Now listen Harry we shall discuss this later ,in the meanwhile let us look for Annette." Said Mr Tiphany.
Harry stormed off without a word hoping to catch up with Roxette .He drove speedily and soon traced her car which was ahead of him .She stopped at the Grindlays National Bank.
Harry stopped to watch her unobserved.
After about half an hour she came out again with a case in her hands and this time she drove straight to Ptolemy's mansion.He followed close behind.
