Xavier
"Florida, California, London, Georgia , etc." Ivana read off the list impatiently. "They have ten other locations that we've searched and set to blow within two days."
"You know this for certain?" I asked.
"Yes. They have one in every state and this was confirmed by a list that was found in Washington with the address of each one." She said. "We've checked them all but four. We have no one in North Dakota, South Dakota, Indiana and Arizona."
"How can you be so sure they're not out of the country?"
"He's on the no fly list and unless he can get a range rover over about 11,671 kilometers of water, he's not leaving the states." She said.
"So why haven't they been found yet?"
"We have people on their way to North and South Dakota but anybody we had in Indiana and Arizona have been compromised." She said.
I shut down my computer and stood up. "Pack your bags. We're going to Indiana and then Arizona."
"Finally some action." She got up. "I'll call Hector."
"He has an hour to meet us at the airport." I said.
"Yes sir." The door closed behind her.
I was about to follow her but I looked back at my desk.
I slid open the top drawer and picked up the picture.
Gwendolyn smiled up at me, her arms around Chase and his head on her pregnant stomach.
She won't look like this when I see her again.
I folded the picture twice and put it in my pocket.
I then picked up her necklace and put it in my breast pocket.
I slammed the drawer shut and pressed the receiver button. "Evelyn?"
"What?" She responded.
"I'm going to use a few of my vacation days."
"Oh cool." She said. "Where are you going?"
"Here and there." I responded.
There was a pause and then she said. "Bring them home safe."
"You'll be the first to be notified when I do." I told her.

Gwendolyn
After we had been released from that humiliating room I had found myself a hiding place, a small closet like the one where I had first met Miranda, and cried for almost an hour.
Now, as I sat in silence, there was a knock on the door. "Gwendolyn? You in there?"
"No." I answered.
Miranda opened the door and stepped inside. "What's wrong?"
"Miranda, I swore that I would never strip again!" I sobbed. "I want Xavier!"
"You haven't heard the news?" Miranda asked.
"What news?" I said wiping my face.
"There was talk behind stage that all the other locations have been blown." She sat down in front of me.
"Blown up? Bombs?" I asked.
