~Chapter 14~

Shannon watched the news again. She’d actually done it. Guinevere had hired a man to kidnap Alyssa just like she said she was going to do. Of course it had failed. Miserably failed, but she had done it. Without taking her eyes from the news account she answered the phone without looking at it.

“So, did you see it? That fool Sheppard fucked it all up, but she’ll come running back to you now, see if she doesn’t.” Speak of the devil—Guinevere. “I’ve already taken care of him so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Shannon had a second to wonder just how she’d taken care of the man, but they were pulling Alyssa out of the limo again and she wanted to see that. She looked so helpless and every time Shannon saw it she got just a little happier. Yes, by God, this might work.

“I was going to go down to the hospital, but the news report hasn’t said which hospital they had taken her to.” She called them both, too, and they wouldn’t give her any information unless she could provide them with the code to do so. “I don’t suppose you know which one, do you?”

“Bethesda. The one on Forrest Avenue. Cain has privileges there and that’s where they took them both.” They were pulling out the man when Guinevere suddenly spoke up. “Hey, do you know that man she was with? I can’t seem to make out his face on this TV I got.”

Oh, Shannon knew him all right. The lawyer. “Andrew Miller. His grandfather used to work for my late husband. He’s been a pain in my ass since Alyssa came back.”

“Hum, nice-looking guy. Wouldn’t mind getting a little of that myself.” Shannon shuddered at that when Guinevere cackled at her own joke. “He single that you know of?”

“No, I don’t know.” She started to ask if she thought he might be a tad too young for her, but decided she really didn’t care all that much to know. “So, what do we do now? You said this was a three part plan.”

“Next, we go after one of mine. That way there’s no suspicions about you or me having anything to do with this. I was thinking that we’d go after Quinn. She’s the one that had my Roscoe killed, you know.”

Shannon didn’t know her version of the events, but the paper had said that he’d taken his own daughter and had held her for ransom for the two million dollars that he felt had been promised him. Shannon honestly thought that Alyssa should have paid him. She had no idea why her daughter had to be so tight-fisted with her money. It wasn’t as if she didn’t have plenty.

“You know what you’re supposed to do, right? You snatch her right from her office and then take her to that place that idiot was supposed to take your kid.” Guinevere snorted. “Watch out for the mess in there. I don’t think the people who helped me with my…let’s call it a problem, were all that neat.
