Chapter 13

Few things frightened him. Least of all some clown in a mask. But it wasn’t the masked man on the screen that wrenched his insides until all he felt was sharp, ceaseless pain. It was the threat against his father that was destroying him.

His grip on Heather’s hand tightened as he realized that in the semi-darkness of the ballroom, she might not be safe either.

“Your suffering has arrived, Simon,” the masked man went on before laughing bitterly. “If you ever want to see your father alive again, you won’t do anything stupid. You can try going to the police, but they can’t save your father. Now, wait until you receive further instruction from us.”

The screen went black, and the room was again swallowed by darkness. Gasps and screams erupted as the lights suddenly flickered back on.

He blinked rapidly, his eyes trying to adjust to the sudden brightness of the room. “Heather, we have to get you out of here.”

Simon didn’t care if she argued or put up a fight. He was determined to get her to safety. Nothing was going to get in the way of that.

He held on to Heather’s hand and started to guide her away from the table. The ballroom was already in chaos as guests started racing towards the exits. How the hell was he going to get Heather out of here before the crowd prevented them from leaving?

Cursing under his breath, he scanned the room and spotted Jake, Dover’s security head, barreling towards them.

“We need to get you two out of here!” Jake barked.

“How?” Heather’s voice was shaking, and Simon detected the hint of panic in her tone.

“Follow me,” Jake instructed. “I know an easier way out.”

“I’m not leaving while people are still stuck here,” Simon said.

Heather gasped as he released her hand. “Simon, no!”

“Go with Jake,” he commanded. “He’ll protect you until I find you.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to leave you behind, sir,” Jake said.

“I’m ordering you to get Heather safely out of here,” Simon said, narrowing his eyes.

Jake frowned before finally nodding. “Okay. I’ll keep her safe.”

“You’d better.” Simon didn’t wait to listen to whatever Heather was shouting at him. No doubt she would be pissed off, but he had a duty to his company.

As the panic in the ballroom seemed to rise Simon raced into the crowd, looking for anyone who needed help. It wasn’t easy to ignore the voice in his head telling him to get to safety. Wasn’t easy to focus on duty while his father had been kidnapped and Heather wasn’t by his side. But his staff was counting on him. Even though security was already around to help Simon stuck around to help anyone who tripped, found stragglers who got so scared they hid under tables, and helped some of the more elderly staff members out of the ballroom and out of the hotel to their cars.

By the time the crowd thinned, he was exhausted. Making his way to the lobby, a wave of grief washed over him.
