IN RETROSPECT, HE should've worn the contacts. Tim Scam gave a grunt as he was pushed into the limo, which purred. It was the 21st century and he was being treated like a type of wild animal. The bodyguard is an aging man, looking as if he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. "I'm Jerry. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Tim." His voice is calm and with a roll of his eyes, Tim nods. He knows who Jerry is. In fact, a good portion of the nation knew who Jerry was. He was the head of the 'Scam Search'. Tim crossed his arms and made himself comfortable. This was going to be a long ride.

The limo has a mini TV, which is tuned in to the news. Tim is not too surprised to see the news of his capture. If Galvan, a tiny kingdom in Europe ruled by the Simpson family, is good for anything, it's their news. The chirpy news anchor gives a broad smile as she bursts into the history between the Scam and Simpson family. "The Scam family is related to Jackson Scam, a criminal mastermind that managed to steal some of the royal family's fortune. Upon King Zachary's will, Jackson Scam and his family will stop their reign of terror if a Scam is accepted into the royal family through marriage." He gives an expaserated sigh. He was a genius, very much like his great-grandfather. But he was foolish to forget his contacts.

"We were fortunate enough to get ahold of Lady Alexandra, a close friend of Princess Samantha." Tim looks out the tinted windows, watching as the city slowly slipped away. There's a large castle in his line of sight, the Simpson coat of arms on a flag that waved proudly. He turns back to the TV, glowering at the knowing look Jerry wore. A picture of Samantha is on the screen. She's pretty with her red locks and green eyes. A half-smile is painted on her lips, almost as if she's sharing a secret with you. He is immediately reminded of his hatred of the young princess. She is too prim and proper and he is like a jagged glass. He will break her.

"Thank you for having me, Grace! Samantha is excited to see her fiance. She's been waiting for this day her entire life." Tim could spot her lie from a mile away. The young girl, barely an adult, is twiddling with her gloved fingers and her eyes seem to be slightly dimmed. He is suddenly distracted by the limo rolling to a stop. The gates of the castle are open, revealing the royal family upon the steps. He manages to catch sight of the princess and he snickers. She was anything but happy to see him.
