Chapter 109


    Dan wasn''t sure how long he had been lying there when he opened his eyes, it took him a few


    minutes for his vision to clear, his throat felt dry and raw and his head was aching.


    He sat up and looked around for Faye, she was not on the ground where hest saw her. It hit him like


    a ton of brick that they had been drugged, getting to his feet he called out her name as he staggered


    towards the bedroom, she wasn''t there. So he went to the kitchen, still no sign of her.


    He began to sweat, his heart was racing as fear coursed through his body like a raging river, he ran


    into the main room and reached out for his phone, that was when he saw a note Lying on the table, he


    picked it up and started reading


    " If you ever want to see your wife alive do as we tell you, don''t call the police, if you do we will know


    and we will kill her. Get three million dors in unmarked American bill, ce it in a small ck bag and


    wait for instructions. Do Not Call The Police, if you want to see your wife alive"


    Crumpling the note, he sat to his knees and let out a gut wrenching roar.


    After wiping the tears from his face he picked up his cell phone and called Stefan. " Stefan I need you,


    hire an helicopter and get here now. Someone has taken Faye, don''t tell anyone about it, just get here


    as fast as you can, I will exin everything to you when you get here" Dan hung up the phone and


    picked the note up and re-read it.


    Not knowing when they would call about the ransom, he knew he had to get to the bank and get the


    money as soon as he could, all kinds of thoughts raced his mind as he made his way through the hotel.


    Pushing away those that had gotten in his way, ignoring questions and stares he made his way to the


    bank.


    He prayed to God that she was alright and that whoever had her wasn''t hurting her in any way, but one


    thing he knew for sure is that when he get a hold of them he would kill them.


    When he got to the and and told the clerk how much he was withdrawing from his ount, he got a


    strange look from the woman behind the counter " That is a lot of money sir, I will need to talk to the


    manager"


    "I understand make it quick" he said, momentter he was led to the manger office.


    "Mr sage,that is a whole lot of money you want to withdraw, do you mind if I ask what you want it for?"


    Dan was not in the mood for this bullshit he leaned over the desk and stared at the manager in the


    face " I do mind, and it is none of your damn business. It is my money and if I want to withdraw it you


    don''t need to know why, don''t piss me off or I will buy this ce and you will be out on your ass without


    a job, do I make myself clear?" He yelled at the frightened manager.


    The man knew all about Dan and his reputation, he was thest man he would want to piss off " I..I


    will have a cashier cheque made out for you sir"


    "No I want it in cash, unmarked bills" he ced the ck bag on the desk in front of the manager, "


    Have it out here and make it quick"


    The manager swallowed hard and tried to avoid looking into Dan eyes " Yes sir, there are no


    unmarked bills here, I will send a message to our headquarters in NYC to arrange for that, it will take a


    little while. Please have your seat".


    Dan sat down and kept looking at his phone to see if they had called him back, he sat there tapping


    his finger on the arm of the chair, all he could think about was if she was alright and if there were


    harming her in any way.


    Thirty minutester the manage came back with the money and ced it on the desk in front of him " I


    will count it sir before we put it in the bag"


    Dan got to his feet and started stuffing it into the ck bag, " There is no need for that"

    "Can I get you a guard to escort you out?"


    "No that is not necessary"


    "But sir, it is the normal procedure with a withdrawal of this kind amount of money"


    Dan losing his temper looked up to the man "See I don''t care what your procedure is, I have my


    protection already covered" picking up the bag he stormed out without saying goodbye to the man.


    All he wanted to do was to get back to the hotel, he had things to take care of.


    When they got to his hotel he told Liam to take the day off, he got out, grabbed the bag and on getting


    inside the hotel he saw the manager walking towards him " I want you to send me a copy of the


    surveince tape for this morning when our breakfast was delivered, I also don''t want house keeping


    service"


    "Oh sir, housekeeping service has already been in your room and finished up, why? Is there a


    problem?" The manager asked.


    "Damn it!" He cursed and walked away, getting into the elevator he suspected that the coffee wasced


    with something that had caused them to pass out, thest thing he needed was housekeeping to clean


    up, destroying evidence.
