~~Boss's Point of view~~

The Boss: "Today is the Day, Rip. Are you prepared?"

Rip: "We are prepared."

The Boss: "You know where the target is right now?"

Rip: "I have eyes on her."

The Boss: "Go ahead and execute."

~~Cherish's point of view~~

I've been in school for two weeks. I start school at Six am, and I'm here until eight forty-five pm. Patty said to do what I wanted to do. I doubled my load. After everything was calculated from before with doubling, I'll be done in just under a year. I just got finish with one class I'm walking across the campus to another. Someone grabs me, and I feel a sharp pain in my hip.

My world goes black.

I wake up. I'm lying on a cold, dirty floor. My hands and feet are tied. I don't open my eyes. I just listen. One man with a deep voice.

Voice One: "You're so fucking stupid."

Voice Two: "We were certain."

Voice One: "Obviously, you were wrong."

Voice Two: "You said his daughter. She is his daughter."

Voice One: "You took the wrong fucking daughter."

Voice Two: "We can take her back."

Voice One: "You can't be serious?"

Voice Two: "Why not?"

Voice One: "How is it you've been the VP for 30 years?"

Voice Two: "We've never done anything like this. Your dad wasn't into taking women and children."

Voice One: "He isn't here anymore."

I just lay there listening. I feel someone come close to me. He's close to my head; I feel a hand on my cheek; he runs his thumb across my cheek.

Voice One: "So fucking stupid."

The man with a deep voice says. His touch was gentle, but I can tell he's very dangerous.

Voice Two: "What should we do with her?"

Voice One: "We can't keep her here. I can't send her back. I would have had more leverage had you taken Natalie. She has someone to live for and a husband who can take care of her. Instead, you take the one that lives with her big sister and has nothing. She's worthless to me."

Voice Two: "She may be worth more than you think. Her other sister is married to a lawyer. They grew up together. From what I understand, the two are very close."

Voice One: "Take her to my house. Do not lay a finger on her."

Voice Two: "Are you sure, Boss?"

The deep voice man is the Boss. Got it.

Voice One: "Yes."

I still play stupid. I feel him pick me up and put me in a car. I'm not going to let them take me without a fight. I open my eyes and take a peek. Jesus. For an older man, he's pretty muscular.
