A Flower For My Grandparents

A Prime Target

Christian
Mia is missing after she slipped away after a charity event she attended. Security hasn't been able to trace her movements. Her bodyguards were handling a man who has accosted her during her trip to the restroom. We had no available female bodyguards due to the flu going around and I don't want them working and spreading germs that might cause my sons to become ill.

Mia
I walk into the men's restroom and change into a men's outfit and I head out to meet Alexander Brown. We are going to get married in Vegas. It wasn't hard to hire someone to pretend to accost me so the bodyguards would get distracted. We head to the airport for a private flight to Vegas. Alexander has my suitcase and his in the commercial van. We finally get on the plane and he is texting someone who is meeting us in Vegas.

Alexander Brown
Calvin helped me get to Mia and he helped with this plan. Mia thinks we are going to Vegas to get married. But I have other plans for her. She looks like a man and has kept her disguise on. We finally land outside of Vegas and she has drank the water we drugged her with. I was going to sell her jewelry but it's cheap and not worth anything. We land and my trunk is ready to be filled with Mia Grey. Can't have anyone question us about Mia in the airport. The trunk is taken to the waiting friend who has money waiting to give me for Mia. He has been looking forward to getting her as his wife. Today that happens.

Thomas
I enabled the chip when I gave Mia the cross and the watch. She started disappearing and I got concerned for her safety. Barney built the trackers and made them look like part of the watch and cross. They can't be detected at all. Soon we get a location on her and she's moving pretty fast. Christian has people find out if any flights have taken off since Mia disappeared. A weird looking man in a van was seen leaving with two men from the charity. There was no trace of Mia in the ladies room. She is very clever about slipping from our clutches, but stupid about trusting people. We are flying in the same direction as her trackers are going. Jason, Debbie and Linda are traveling with us on the Steele Jet. Carrick and Grace are flying with us just in case something has happened to her.

Carrick
We finally land and it takes a while to get a ride and we finally are approached by someone who was asked to meet us here. He is an old friend of Raymond Steele's and he wants to help. Thomas shows him the IPad tracking Mia and she has landed thirty minutes ago. Anastasia has a better jet than the one that had Mia on it. It's normally used for transplants.

Brooks Duncan
I owed a favor so I am going to help find Mia Grey Anastasia's sister in law. We get into the numerous hummers and fly past the people in line to get out of the airport. These people recognize us and know it is urgent we aren't delayed. I look up the people that have been in contact with Mia and I am able to find things out that others can't. Calvin Jefferson is very bad news and a human trafficker. His cousin Alexander Brown was in Seattle recently. Soon we have caught up with the limousine and the other two cars with it. We have bulletproof vests and the hummers are as well. These guys mean business and they have Mia Grey. The only person who can get action like this is Carlos Rodriquez and we have to stop him before they get to his compound. I hand guns to the security that have came with me. I tell them they most likely drugged Mia so she won't cause them issues.

Grace
I am with Carrick and two others in the back vehicle and it has medical equipment in it just in case because after all we are in an isolated area. I am scared for Mia and I want to ring her neck at the same time for giving her security the slip yet again. Carrick and watch as six hummers surround the limo and the two other cars. Bullets are flying as we are protected by two hummers. Soon they are opening the trunk of the last car and Thomas and Brooks open the trunk with a crowbar. They have everyone on the ground and begging for their lives. Including Mr Rodriquez who tried to make a deal with his captors. I watch as Brooks uses a needle to put the monsters under like they did my Mia. I see the needle mark as she is put on the gurney in the Hummer. We are taken to the closest hospital and they test her for drugs and luckily it is a sedative that won't harm her in the long run. Christian told me she's going to wish she hadn't given her bodyguards the slip. He plans on having her surrounded by bodyguards.

Mia
I wake up with a splitting headache in a place that I have never seen before. I check my ring finger and there's no wedding ring at all. Mom walks in and she's been crying. Dad is with her and they both come and hug me and telling me they love me but I will have six to eight bodyguards from now on. They explain that Calvin and Alex planned all of this and were selling me to a human trafficker as his new bride. Apparently I am his 12th wife and the eleven prior to me have all died in accidents. Carlos Rodriquez paid a lot of money for me. They are all in custody and I won't need to testify against them. Dad told me not to worry about their fates. Thomas and Barney tracked me and Brooks Duncan helped save me from being sold.
