The next morning the three men decided to let Megan sleep in for a while, that was their mistake. When Megan still hadn't shown up at 2:00 PM Jose decided he needed to go see what was wrong. What was wrong was that Megan wasn't there. Her horse was missing and was finally found at Chase's private airstrip, where her plane was now missing.
I didn't have a heart to tell the three guys that I had been with more than 90 days that a missive from Riley had shown up on my laptop forwarded from Beverly. I knew between Riley and I that we had all of this handled, but now we were in the tying up loose threads. As I sat on our plane, I thought back to the short missive Riley had sent me.
Hi sister
This will probably be the next to last you will hear from me. It is imperative that you go to Miami immediately and meet Nico. You are to tell him everything you need to to make sure that Theo takes his place at the next meeting. It is probably going to be hard to talk him into this, but you have to.
Then I think you need to call Bashir' or better yet go see him and tell him to call off his dogs. If he has a security force running around, it probably will foul up everything both of us have tried so hard to put together.
I know you're not proficient at handguns, don't worry about it. I'm sure that Jose and James taught you enough. We will just get Chase to train us on a sniper rifle.
I'm hoping that we're going to be able to take care of Theo in a manner that won't point to anything other than natural causes.
Now off with you to Miami!
That is how we wound up on this plane heading towards Miami. We figured that as soon as we landed there was going to be a call from four men we really didn't wanted to do right now. Thank goodness for being able to see who was calling me on my cell phone before answering, I'm just going to ignore that they called like a voicemail. With that thought Megan curled up and decided to get some sleep.
"Roman is going to kill us, he's going to kill us slowly and painfully. "
"Quit being so dramatic James, he isn't going to do anything."
"OK Chase if you're so sure you call Roman."
"Jose you have the best chance with Roman, I mean he really respects you."
"Don't blow sunshine up my ass, let's face it we all don't want call Roman. Maybe if we knew where she was going this would be easier, but we don't. We have no idea where she's gone and what she's doing because Riley has control over Megan."
"I for one would like to call Bashir and see if he's tracking the plane, maybe that way when we call Roman we might have some information."
"Well as seeing it's my ranch and my airstrip, I will call Bashir."
Chase placed a call to Bashir and asked him if he had a tracker on Riley's plane. He told them that he did and it looked like she was heading for Southern Florida. He thanked his old friend and fellow Dom.
"OK, he has her going to Southern Florida. Now I guess I'll call Roman. "
Chase called Roman with Jose and James listening in. When Roman found out that they had lost her he became livid. When they started hearing glass breaking and obscenities started flying they knew they should have more information. It didn't settle him down at all to know that she was flying to Southern Florida. For all he knew, Riley decided to take a vacation in South Miami Beach for a few weeks. Maybe she was going to Disney World, who the fuck knew what she was going to do. They had all been following her like little puppies and here they were among the wealthiest men and Doms in the world. They were the ones other people followed, not the other way around. This had been going on for over six months and he was tired of it. Just today Aki had called him and told him that the next meeting would be on the first of next month that was three weeks away. He sat down in his chair and told them when the next meeting was. Now he got to hear obscenities from the other end.
I got off Riley's plane and into the waiting limousine, Nico sitting inside waiting for me. I was hoping that Riley had spelled it all out for him so I didn't to. Obviously from the look on his face that was not going to be case. He looked angry, confused, and slightly put out.
"Well Nico we meet again. I can't say that I'm not surprised it has been left to me to explain Riley's plan."
"Megan, it would be a whole lot better if you just came out and told me what my part is in this play. I would suggest that you make it sooner rather than later."
"It really is fairly simple, Nico. Theo is going to take your place at the next meeting. You are coming with me on my plane and we're spending the next three weeks with each other were ever you want."
"Are you going to tell me what you'd been up to for the last month or so?"
"Sure I have no problem telling you that I've been trained in weapons and by a mercenary. I'm not really proficient at handguns, but give me a few knives or a piece of wire and I'm good to go."
"You're going to kill Theo aren't you?"
"Unfortunately, that is the plan."
"What if I try to stop you? I could always call Theo and let him know what's going on."
"That is why we are going to be together until the meeting. Riley's instructions were pretty straight forward. I hope you realize she loves you to death, but she left me instructions that if you tell Theo, your life is forfeit and I'll still kill him."
"Well it looks like little shy Megan has been lost. Riley really did number on all of us. I was hoping that Theo would be arrested, but having known Riley for as long as I have I should've known. He is my twin you know."
"He never should've gone after us. You do realize that he is one sick puppy and like any rapid dog he has to be put down. When all this started I thought Riley may have gone over the deep end, but after going through everything she planned I have to agree with her now. I also found out that he's a major player in the human trafficking circles. You can do what you feel is right Nico; I just wanted to let you know what would happen. I also have become rather fond of you. Now, where would you like to go?"
"I hear the skiing in the Swiss Alps is good right now."
"Skiing in the Alps it is."
