Ross looked at his watch and quickly changed into his tuxedo. He noticed that the light was blinking on the answering machine again.
"Honey it's me. I hadn't heard from you all day and I hope you don't have to work late tonight. I had something special planned. Well anyway, I will see you later..Love you, bye."
Her sweet voice was the last thing he heard before he slipped another gun into his jacket. He walked out the door to see Tangie dressed for the assignment.
"Very nice Tang." he said as he got into her rented car.
"I'm glad you approve." she coyly smiled.
Minutes later they arrived at the Plaza. They both entered the door inconspicuously , seeing if they could spot any unsavory characters.
"Okay you go on that side of the room, and I 'll stay over here." Ross said as he cautiously looked around . He never moved his hand far from the gun under his jacket. He noticed that the Prince had one person that never left his side. That could be a minister or that could be the trouble he was informed of. He knew he had to make his way over to the Royal entourage.
After going to the bar, he strolled casually over to the group. He kept his eye peeled for Tangie. She was over talking to a very handsome senator and smiling. He had to laugh she hadn't changed a bit since they last worked together.
Seeing the Prince, he introduced himself as a US ambassador to his country and said that he would like to discuss some important matters with him. Ross put a firm grasp on the Prince's arm and led him from the side of the minister.
"What is the meaning of this?" exclaimed the Prince. "This is kidnapping."
"Your highness, I am an agent with the SSA. I am not kidnapping you, actually that is what we are trying to prevent. One of your ministers is planning a revolution and wants to have you assassinated . One of our other agents is in the room as well to keep you safe tonight." Ross explained.
"How and when will they do this?' the Prince asked.
"There is talk of kidnapping and then putting you in exile where you will be assassinated." Ross said.
"How do you know all this?" the Prince questioned.
"We have agents in your country as well. They have been following your movements as well as those of your associates and ministers. The main thing I need to stress to you is to trust no one. I need to gain access to your suite to see if we can find anything there." Ross said.
The prince eyed the crowd and then Ross. "How do I know that you are not one of my enemies.? You said trust no one." he said.
"Trust me, I need to see that safe." Ross said.
""Then let us go." the Prince said as he moved from the room. They got in the elevator and Ross used the access code he learned that afternoon. The door opened and there were about twenty girls dressed in harem costumes standing around. "I forgot to mention, I travel with a harem. At least forty of them. Care for a wife?" he smiled.
"No just got rid of one. " Ross laghed. "But she would take any of these girls."
The prince walked to the safe and opened it. He pulled out some files and some jewels. Ross looked through them and found nothing.He sighed there had to be something incriminating in that room.
At the same time, three men in black hoods had scaled the side of the hotel. They had made their way into the Royal suite. One of them had a gun and the other had a cloth covered in chloroform .
"Please excuse me for a moment." the Prince said. He walked into another chamber to get a bottle of water. And the three men grabbed him and put the cloth to his face.
"Excellent, that decoy downstairs worked. Now we can take his excellency here and our leader can take his rightful place as the Prince of Mulrabi. By the time he has had his coronation , this one here will be dead."
Ross had a sickening feeling since the Prince took so long to return. He took his gun out of his jacket and cautiously walked toward the bedroom.
"What the hell?" he said as he saw an empty room and an open window with the breeze blowing the white silk drape. There was no forced entry or anything.
Tangie sensed danger too. She immediately made her way into the room.
"Robert I had a feeling so I came up here." she said frightened.
"The Prince has been kidnapped." Ross said. He had a feeling that things were going to get a lot more dangerous than he realized.
