He took a big swig and I saw the president's lips move to slurp the drink I swatted it out of his hands. "You'll thank me later." I say as Joseph says, "I knew I couldn't trust you !" I climbed though the little window and swerved the car, I took Ricardo's hand and we jumped off the bridge into the crystal clear rivieras the car ran into the bridge support and exploded. A presidential escort boat whisked us away as the bridge crumbled and fell down on top of an empty cruise ship at the dock.
I doubted that our little friend was still alive but to take precautions I am going to take my child and husband to the safe house with us.
When we got to my house it was ravaged there was a note on the table saying that Lucy would be first if the president did not die in the next 48 hours. Ricardo looked at me, and I back. "I have a plan." I said, "But I'll need you help."
