As soon as Vince had seen that the taxi was taking the girls to Pride’s house, he slowed and called Gus. Pulling onto the street he realized the cop car that had been watching Pride’s house was no longer there.

He pulled over to the curb about four houses down from Pride’s and sat waiting for Gus’ instructions. He was sitting there on the phone when Carrie’s black Charger crept down the street and parked in front of the house next door to Pride. He had hit the jackpot!

As soon as Carrie and the blonde lady had gone inside, Vince stepped out of his vehicle and walked toward Pride’s. When he’d almost reached her front yard, he heard a voice call out from inside and then a clatter from the back.

He was standing alert and ready when Lisa ran solidly into him. In an instinctual response Vince resisted the impact with the full force. The result left Lisa sprawled on the ground. The impact against Vince, then the hard slam to the ground had rendered her immobile.

Then he saw a slight flash of blonde hair and grabbed the blonde lady around her middle raising her off the ground. As she screamed, he released his grip enough to punch her solidly in the face.

Now both ladies lay out cold on the ground. Gus was not close by, and it would take him time to get there. Making a quick decision, Vince decided he would take the two, tie them up and put them in his vehicle.

He picked up Lisa like a sack of potatoes and slung her over his shoulder. It took only a minute to heave her into the back of the SUV and tie her arms and legs. Soon he had done the same to the blonde lady, and both were secure.

He got back into the driver's seat and called Gus again, explaining the situation, and waiting for further instruction.

“So the lady cop and Jenny are still inside with Pride?” Gus asked for confirmation.

“Yes,” Vince answered. “Wait. The lady cop just came outside. She’s looking around. I’m sure she is looking for Lisa and the blonde. I can’t stay here, boss.”

“Yeah, right. Okay… Go on over to the house on Ivan Street. I’ll meet you there.

Vince shut off the phone and hesitated. He was hoping the lady cop would go back inside and he could slip away unnoticed. There she goes, he thought, as Carrie turned to go back inside.

As she stepped back into the house and out of sight, Vince turned on the SUV. Hearing the car roar to life, Carrie bolted back out the front door and into the front yard.

Realizing that both Sandy and Lisa were missing, the car roaring to life brought her to rapt attention. She flung her car door open and was quickly inside, moving hard and fast after the SUV.

It had to be Gus or one of his men, didn’t it? Her instincts from her OKCPD days compelled her to call her pursuit in and ask for backup, but this was abnormal.
