Amara's POV

April 29 2011

Today's the day I'm following Mabel to her co-workers party and honestly, I'm really not in the mood to go but my word is my bond and so I start getting ready for school first. Dressed and ready to go, I check up on my dad and Nana, I find my Nana still asleep and my dad getting dressed for work. 

"Uhm dad? What exactly are you doing?"

"Getting dressed for work"

"Uhh, I know but you aren't fit enough for that. At least, stay home just for today"

"Mara, I have something important to do today and its the weekend. I'll stay home all day throughout the weekend I promise". I sigh in defeat and agree with him. 

I go downstairs and take and apple with a glass of juice before setting a plate of eggs, bacon and a bagel with a cup of coffee made by our chef for my dad before leaving for school. I wasn't in the mood to drive and so I took the bus which I was ten minutes early for. I couldn't bring myself to drive because I had so many things going on in my head and an accident was the last thing I needed.  Got to school and went straight to my locker to get my books and blah blah blah, you get the memo already. I got to class and sat down waiting for the teacher. I have this class with Thea and Mabel. As if on cue, the both walked in and Thea took a seat beside me.

"Heyy, why the gloomy look?"

"Nothing, just worried about my dad and my Nana"

"They'll be fine don't worry"

She hugged me from the side for a brief moment before letting go. I wanted to say something about the party Mabel asked me to but I decided against because I know Thea will tell me not go or want to follow me and guessing Mabel invited only me I changed my mind. Deep down in me, I wanted someone to go with me or not go alone. The thought of the party was giving me serious chills but I'm talking about Mabel right? Nothing extraordinarily bad can happen right? I take in a deep sigh and feel Thea give my hand a squeeze thinking I'm still worried about my dad and Nana but I am indeed worried about myself. No backing out now.

The day goes by like a flash before my eyes and my fear grows deeper and stronger but I push it to the back of my mind thinking it's because I'm about to leave my Nana and my dad alone for a whole night and so I try to put myself in a good mood telling myself it will all be alright. Heading home now to get ready for the party and also waiting for Mabel.

Mabel's POV

Amara's mood throughout the whole day has been pretty down and gloomy, I was desperately praying she didn't cancel on me and was utterly relieved she didn't. I rushed home immediately she wrote her address for me so I could get ready. Once I got home, I saw that the boys had the whole house looking like they were really inviting a big crowd. I didn't care where the crowd of people were coming from all I was concerned about was that Amara's kidnapping would end up a smooth and fast process.

 On getting to the neighborhood close to her estate, I couldn't help but admire all the houses around. Men some people are really lucky in this life. When I got to her estate gate I was stopped by the security just as she had explained to me and I let them know I was here to see Amara. As they began putting a call through to her I got down from the cab and paid the taxi driver because taxi's weren't allowed into the estate.  All this rich two faced brat kids that have no manners and have everything handed down to them on a silver platter, ungrateful and will probably not ever appreciate anything or even know how to. They have everything without any struggle, while some of us are out here trying to make ends meet.  The saying that when you never have to struggle to get something, you might never know the value and worth of such thing, but some kid is definitely going to get a rude awakening and will definitely never try me again in her next life or try this again at all. It definitely doesn't pay to be a two faced b***h. 

Something in my head clicked as I began walking to her residence. There was no way I had to be seen leaving with her and her not coming back. I immediately called Chev and told him the modifications I made to the plan and he agreed. Gotta be wise in this business and also a fast thinker. Convinced I had missed my way, I called Mars and she told me she will come pick me. So I took a seat on the side walk and waited. I heard a car horn and saw her tesla.

"Hey, sorry about that. You ready?"

"Yeah. Nice car by the way". She smiled and I gave her the address and off we went.

                  ***************************************************************************************

By the time we arrived at the house, the party was in full swing and it looked like a typical college frat party. I had to say I was impressed. I guess the boys love for doing no work but party came in handy at this moment. I took her to introduce her to my 'co-worker', well if you really look at it, we all are co-workers except not the type of job people think we do, 'museum workers', ha. If it counts we do get some priceless artifacts as part of our pay so yeah. Once I see that the boys have seen her face, I drag Chev away to explain all that I have changed while I leave Mars to mingle.

The time is twelve thirty in the morning and so we start clearing people out. Mars isn't too drunk so she drives home while I tell her I'll find my way home.

"Mabel thanks for inviting me. This in a way was just what I needed. You're such a good friend. Thanks" She hugs me then drives of. I almost want to call off the whole thing but then again, I said almost and besides, she has to pay for making me feel like a fool and for being two faced with me. 

Once she leaves, I signal Chev to let him know that we have to be ready by two which is in less than two hours and then we leave. Everything has to be in motion before dawn, I'm tired of this job, need a new one already. Might as well fall in love with my f****d up life because I'm not getting another one or another chance in this one. We put hands together and clean up the whole house making sure everything is tidy before we go. 

We head into the mini van. While in the van, I start telling them everything that should be done.

" So, with the burner phone Chev has, we are going to message Amara and tell her to come outside her estate gate. The message has to look to her like whoever is sending it is in trouble and needs her help and like the savior she is, she'll definitely come out. A simple hit and the lower back of her head will be okay, just enough to make her black out, once that is done, she'll be taken to meet Mr Giovanni at his private airport and how she leaves is left to him and then we are done with this job."

" Good thinking, hope you have all the files with you Mason? Along with every other thing we owe to him" Chev ask,

"Yeah, I do."

About a mile away from Mars estate, I take the burner phone and message her. 

  *****PHONE CONVERSATION*****

Me: Mars... I need help, please I need your help, he'll, he'll soon find me and I'm afraid of what he will do to me

Mars: Who is this? That's not really important  but where are you right now? Have you called the police?

Me: No, I can't let him hear me have a conversation over the phone, he'll kill me, please help. Don't come with the police, if he finds out there are anywhere near us he'll kill me immediately. I'm currently at the back of 'Savory and Sweet' restaurant, in the woods. Please hurry. He is coming, I have to go.

******END OF PHONE CONVERSATION****

With that sent to her, I turn off the phone without waiting for a reply from her. Too much back and forth might make her suggest something I do not need her to do. I signal the boys, telling them to get in positions while I walk into the forest waiting for her. Surprise b***h.
