Chapter 11: Issues

"Mr DuBios, what is your reaction to this threat against your daughter?"

"Will you bail the men out of prison, Mr DuBios? And them them take a part of your hard earned money?"

"Do you think if you act as they wish, they will return Jasmine?"

Tom was getting a headache. He didn't know what to do. He knew it wasn't right to do it. What if the man went back on his promise? At the same time though, he wanted his little princess back, safe and untouched.

Jackson was with the two in front of the statement podium dressed in a crisp suit. Everything about the past events upset him. He hated to admit it too, but he had missed Jasmine. The mansion was lonely.

Sarah, basically being the toughest among the celebrities interviewed by the press, ran her hand flat against her neck, signalling that they should shut the whole thing down. Ethan Blake ran up to the podium and grabbed the microphone. "That's enough questions."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, but he hasn't even answered one question!"

"Mr and Mrs DuBios, wait! Just a moment of your time if you will!"

Everyone was ignored as the guards escorted the two away from the crowd.

Caesar stared at his ipad for a bit more just after the 'interview' was done. I really wish I were over there right now...he thought. The jet was landing at that moment. Caesar was escorted out by his one bodyguard the pilot through the airport and into the limo waiting for him. I wish there was something I could do...

The door was opened from the inside before the guard touched the handle and Caesar gasped. It was pushed all the way and the woman inside smiled at him. Caesar turned his head and glared at the chauffeur. "I-I'm sorry, sir! She just forced herself in!"

"Hmph, well you don't seem too happy to see me..." she said, crossing her arms under her breast.

Caesar sat inside next to her and the guard closed the door for him. "I told you to let me know when you're coming, Angelica." They felt the car begin to move.

"Really? Huh, must've slipped my mind." Angelica was a beautiful african american with big brown eyes and long braids. She was a fashion designer, but recently went AWOL after releasing her last collection. Caesar figured she was spending alone time with her money, she rarely contacted anyone in the group, but she was still seen as a friend, a distant friend. "I heard about Jas," she said, shaking her head, "Hope the bitch is alright."

Caesar looked out the window at the moving beautiful sandy beach along with the beautiful people in it. He loved Rio and its carefree state...it made him a little depressed knowing Jasmine loved it too and she wasn't with him to see it.

"You aight?"

"Yea...yea, I'm aight, just a little...depressed." It felt good to say that. Caesar most of the time didn't work with a lot of black people, sometimes he even was afraid he lost his older way of speech.

Angelica shifted closer to him and slipped her arm over his shoulders, placing her other hand on his chest. "Maybe I can help..."

Caesar chuckled. "Last time you said that it was just gonna be a one-night stand.'

"Girls change their minds, Mikey."

"So its a two night stand?"

"Boy, the fuck is a two night stand?"
