Notes:

It has been difficult to make my weekly deadline as you are aware. I have made the decision to post every 2 weeks. I know you are sad and I am sorry, but with all that has been going on I really need to 2 weeks to be able to right this story. I feel like I am have had to rush through the writing at times and they will not help the story. Since I normally write between 4,000 and 7,000 word chapters plus the extra scenes, I believe this is for the best. Thank you for understanding.

April 11, 2012

Starling City

After the press conference, Moira and Walter went into the study. They had a scheduled interview with Detective Lance and his partner. The Starling City Chief of Police wanted to assign his best agent, Detective Lance, since this involved the Queen family, which makes it a high profile case. They all file into the study and take a seat.

"Detective Lance, I appreciate you coming, but isn't this a conflict of interest considering my son was dating your daughter? After all, my son cheated on your daughter Laurel while taking the other one, Sarah, on the boat where she died." Moira asks.

"In a way, but the Chief assigned me to this case because of my record of solving cases. I am well aware of what your son did and I may never forgive him, but I will do whatever I can do to get Oliver back. You can trust me with that. What I don't understand is why they kept Oliver instead of giving him back and how do you know he is still alive. Normally kidnappers kill them if they don't give them back, so there has to be a reason why they didn't. What aren't you telling us?"

Moira hands them both a document and says, "You are right there is more to it than what has been said. This is a non-disclosure agreement. Basically it says that you will not tell anyone else what I am going to tell you. It is probably what you are thinking. I do not want his name on any document that is associated with what I am about to tell you. What I am going to tell you can not get out."

Detective Lance and his partner signed the agreements as Moira spoke up, "When we got to Shanghai one of the people that rescued Oliver off the island sold Oliver to the Triads for Sex Slavery. The one that told us this was there when it happened. We have his phone number if you need it. We found Oliver listed on a website and we purchased him for 2 million. The Triads sent us a video. The video shows my son being raped by six men. Chang Wei was the first one to rape him. Chang Wei said he was raped 205 times over the 3 weeks they had him. I am pretty sure they want to keep him for sex slavery. Oliver had been beaten and covered in bruises and welts when we saw him. They fed him through an IV which was also to keep us legs paralyzed. They kept his wrists chained." Moira said with tears streaming down her eyes.

Detective Lance walked over to try to comfort her and laid his hand on her shoulder, "I will do everything I can to get him back, I swear. No one should have to go through that. I am sorry, Mrs. Queen this has happened to Oliver and to your family. Truly sorry, but when you get him back he will eventually be okay. He will need help, but in my experience in dealing with rape victims there is help for them. He will eventually be okay."

"Thank you, Detective Lance. You are a good man."

"This is of course and international case and the FBI has priority over kidnappings so it will be their case, but I will do everything I can on my side. You have my word. I think we have enough to start with for now. I may have to see the video you have, but I am sure Oliver would not want anyone else seeing it, so I will only request it if it will help. I suggest you keeping the video hidden unless it is necessary for the FBI." Lance said as he walked toward the front door.

"I am the only one who has seen the video and hopefully it will stay that way. He is no longer at that location in the video. We worked with ARGUS after they took him back. ARGUS found him and they raided the place, but there was a leak. Chang Wei took Oliver with him and left before ARGUS could get to him. Everyone else they had was rescued. ARGUS has no idea where Oliver is now. They said there has been no movement on Chang Wei. They believe he has gone underground possibly using a different identity."

"We will follow-up with ARGUS. Thank you Mrs. Queen, we will be in-touch."

Tommy was now on his way to the club to meet Christy. He was already dressed for their first date because of the press release Moira gave. While he was driving he contemplated whether the press release announcing that Oliver is alive would do any good. He wondered what Mr. Wei's reaction would be to the news. He hoped that there would not be any repercussions, but knowing him there probably will be.

It was technically their first date, but of course it was definitely not the typical first date, since he paid $1,000 to have the whole evening with her. He told himself that he was not expecting anything sexual even-though he basically bought a prostitute for the night. He likes Christy, but it is the only way he can see her at nights since she works every night as a prostitute for the club. She has two nights off a week from being a stripper, but on those nights she is on-call since a client could call in a request for her. Tommy hates it, but what can he do, it is her job?

He is willing to overlook the prostitution because she believes that it is her life. He doesn't agree that it is all she can do with her life, but he understands that it make take her a while to see that. So, he is determined to be patient and plans on helping her see that there are other options, like moving in with him or the Queen's, but he recognizes that sometimes patience is the key. He doesn't blame her for her situation because he knows that she believes selling herself is all she is worth. Tommy knows she is worth so much more than that, but he knows that it may take a long time for her to see what he sees in her.

He walks into the club 30 minutes early, but he figured he would just see if she was on the floor yet. He walked in and saw her milling around the bar.

"Hey, Cherry. I know I am early, so I thought I would kill some time until 8:00."

"Hey Tommy, that's cool. I have to hang around until 8:00, but I am basically free."

"Did you get a chance to talk to Jamie about coming over to the Queen's for brunch tomorrow?" Tommy asked.

"You mean Midnight. We have to use stage names inside the club. Actually, I was going to, but I haven't had the chance to ask him. Why don't we see if he is available since we are trying to kill 30 minutes?"

"Umm... but...that means going upstairs right? Can't he come down here?"

"Of course that means going upstairs and no he can not come down here while he is working unless it is to talk to the staff or with a client." She takes his hand and he reluctantly follows her upstairs, "Oh, come on."

"I don't know about this... I'm straight and if someone sees me up there thinking I am not straight, it will be on the front page of the newspaper."

"Really? Are you serious?"

"Yeah, my dad is the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. My life is the news."

"Wow. Hold on to me like I am all yours, no one will think anything?"

"Okay, I trust you." Tommy gave her a peck on the lips. Christy's heart just melted at that point. How could I deserve such a wonderful man? I am a whore and he deserves better than me, but somehow he doesn't care. I don't even see myself as worth anything at all but he seems to believe otherwise. Maybe someday I can see what he sees in me, she thought. She felt like a whore, but little did she know that Tommy did not see her that way at all. He saw a young girl who was dealt a bad hand in life. To him, she was blessing in his life and saving her from this hell is all he can think about.

So they reached upstairs to where all the male strippers/prostitutes were. Tommy looked up at the stage and one of the guys was taking off his g-string since it was an all-nude club. Tommy looks away from him, not at all interested in seeing another man's junk. "Okay, well, I... um... forgot it would be all-nude up here."

"Just don't look at the stage then." she looks around and points to toward the pool tables, "Look, I think that is midnight over there at the pool tables where those guys are."

"It looks like he is busy. Should we not interrupt?"

"We will just stand back against the wall a bit. He will eventually see us and come over. You are right we can not interfere when he is with the guests of this club, no matter what happens."

They walked over to where Jamie, Midnight, was standing with three guys around him. Tommy and Christy stood off a bit of a distance, well within range to hear, but not to make it look like they were interfering. Jamie and Christy had a hand signals that they had been using for years. Christy gave Jamie the hand signal that said 'What to talk, but only when you are done'.

"Oh, Midnight, you are so hot. Such a pretty boy, with a pretty mouth." The stranger said as he backed Jamie against the pool table and pushed his body up against him. He started to nibble on Jamie's neck.

"Yes, I have a really good mouth. You'd be amazed at what I can do with it." Jamie says seductively.

"Oh, I have no doubt about that." The guy nibbles on his neck some more.

"You are just a little slut aren't you?" The other guy says and comes up and starts groping Jamie's ass. Tommy's mouth dropped open when he heard the comment. I can't believe they have to put up with this shit, Tommy thought. He looks over at Christy and he gets the feeling that this is the way it is for both of them.

"You bet I am." Jamie says as he looked over at the man's shoulder to Christy and Tommy and rolled his eyes. Christy knew that meant these guys were assholes. She knew Jamie hated it, but this is their life. They always play into what the client wants whether they want to or not. At least that is what their boss expects.

The man reached in front of Jamie's bicycle shorts and started groping his cock and balls right in front of Tommy and Christy. "Oh, come on, you are not even hard for me. You like me don't you? A whore like you loves me doing this to you, right?" one of them says.

"Of course, Sugar. It's just been a long night, so forgive me if my cock seems to have a mind of its own. So have you thought about my offer?" Jamie says.

The third guy starts crowding around him rubbing his hands all over Jamie's body. All three of them are now touching him. Generally, Jamie would not allow the touching, but he is pretty sure they want him for sex and the boss would expect him to make this sale.

"How much for 2 hours for all three of us and what is allowed, pretty boy?" said one of the guys.

Jamie takes his hand and rubs it up and down the man's chest seductively. "Sweetie, normally, it is $100 per person per hour to fuck me, but since it is your first time at the club, I will charge $300 for 2 hours for all 3 of you. House rules, for this price you can do anything to me. Leaving bruises will cost extra. No permanent marks allowed. Lube and a condom are required. No dry fucks or anything that will cause me to bleed." Jamie hates telling that they can leave bruises because it can be an encouragement to some, but when the client asks for the terms, he has to. If he didn't the boss would find out when the client spoke to the boss when payment is exchanged. He would get punished. He knows from experience.

"No dry fucks damn. Oh, well okay. You got a deal."

"Go downstairs and knock on the door next to the bar and ask to purchase Midnight. Tell him I quoted you the first time package for 2 hours. I will be there in a few minutes." The man leaned in to kiss Jamie possessively on the lips. Jamie allowed it even-though he doesn't like to be kissed on the lips by the clients. When they left Jamie's gave a disgusting look. Christy and Tommy had noticed.

Jamie walked up to Christy and Tommy. Tommy looked like he was going to be sick after seeing and hearing all of that. Jamie's emotions were all over the place after that, but he had to put on a cheerful face.

He walked up to them and said, "Hey, Cherry, what's up? Did you bring me this handsome guy?" He asks seductively while he starts to rub a hand on Tommy's chest.

"This is Tommy Merlyn and he is straight."

"Oh, hey, Sorry, I hope I didn't offend you. Are you the Tommy that helped Chrisy that night?" Jamie asked looking embarrassed.

"Yes I am and it is no problem. I am flattered really." Tommy says trying to diffuse the situation.

"Last week the Queen family invited me, you, and Tommy over for brunch tomorrow at 11:00. Do you have any appointments tomorrow morning?" Christy asked.

"No, I don't. I saw the press release that Mrs. Queen released a while ago. It was playing on the TVs in here. It seems the Queen's have enough to worry about right now. Are they still wanting us over?" Jamie asks.

"Yeah well, I was over there last Sunday and they saw the bruises on my wrists. Anyway, they thought a boyfriend or my family was beating me, so I had to tell told them what I do for a living and they seem cool with it. They were just concerned. They asked if I had a place to live, so I told them that my roommate and I live above the club. Anyway, Mrs. Queen invited me over again this Sunday and she said she would like to meet you too. They are really nice people and the food is amazing." Christy said.

"So they are trying to save us?" Jamie asks with hint of anger in his voice.

"Look just come, will you? If nothing else it is will likely be the best food we have ever eaten." Christy said

"Well, alright. Are you staying the night with Tommy?" Jamie asked Christy.

"I bought her whole night so she won't have to work anymore tonight." Tommy said.

"Well of course she will be working, she is with you?" Jamie says accusingly.

"Nothing sexual unless she want to. When I buy her night, it is always everything she wants. I would buy her every night if I could, to keep her safe."

"I am sorry... um... Thanks, man." Jamie shook Tommy's hand. "It means a lot to me for you to take care of her like that. I will come tomorrow, but I have to go now. Can't get them waiting."

"You really want to be with them?"

"With $300, I can't really pass it up. Boss would expect me to make the deal whether I want to or not. It is not really a big deal. This is my life and I am used to it. It is okay, really."

Tommy, took out his wallet. "Look here is $500, why don't you take the rest of the night off after you are with them?"

"Thanks, man. Normally, I wouldn't accept this, but I have a feeling I will need the rest of the night off after them. I just hope they won't be too rough, but groups usually are." Jamie said with sadness in his voice.

"Give me a call afterwards, okay?" Christy asked.

"Yeah, sure." Jamie said.

They all walked down the stairs and they saw the three men waiting for him. They seemed pissed.

"What took you so long?" One of the men said angrily.

"Sorry baby, I had some business to take care off. You are all mine now. I take it you got everything squared away?" Jamie cooed.

"Yes, of course."

"Henry, will you show these three gentlemen to room 17. I will be right behind you." As the men walked away, Jamie looked at Tommy, "Will you be picking me up, tomorrow?"

"Yeah, we will get you at 10:30?"

"I will see you then. Christy I will give you a call later." With that Jamie walked off in the direction of the security guard and the men having a bad feeling about these men.

"It's 8:00, you ready?" Tommy asked Christy.

"Yes, just give me 5 minutes to change into something more appropriate and get my bag."

"You look so beautiful." Tommy said as Christy met him at the entrance of the club. She takes Tommy's arm and he leads her to the Merlyn limousine he had asked his dad for.

"Why, thank you Mr. Merlyn. You are very handsome yourself." He gave her a kiss as he helped her into the limo. "This is really nice."

"Well, this is technically our first date. I thought I should do it right. Would you like some champagne?" He asked as the car headed to the 5-star restaurant that Tommy made reservations for.

"Yes, that would be nice." Christy felt nervous for some reason. She has been in this type of situation before, but it was always with some nameless client. For some reason, she did not see Tommy as a client even-though he technically was. She started to nervously fidget with her fingers.

"You okay?" Tommy asks.

"Just nervous, I guess, which is just absolutely funny because I shouldn't be."

"I know what you mean. I am nervous too. I have been on so many dates, you would be amazed, but you... you are different. You are special."

"I feel the same way about you. I have not been on a real date. I mean one where I really wanted to be on, anyway." she pauses, "I am sorry, I shouldn't talk about my situation. I guess sometimes it is just hard to separate things from my reality."

"It is okay, I understand. I know you don't want to be a prostitute."

"It's not that I don't, it is more like it is what I am used to and I really don't see a way out of this life. I can't even see any other life for me. I mean I have been doing it for the last 5 years. It is who I am and I have accepted it a long time ago."

"Look, if you want out, you can have it. My family and the Queen's have resources. We can get you and Jamie out together."

"Maybe we will take you up on that offer. We are just scared. We think they may come after us if we leave, but they have not said they would. Thank you, but can we just enjoy this evening?"

"Of course." They both drink the rest of their champagne as the limo comes to a stop at the finest restaurant in Starling. They get out of the limo and Tommy walks Christy in to the front desk. "We have a reservation for two?"

"Right this way Mr. Merlyn. It is good to have you with us tonight." They reach their booth. "Your server will be right with you."

"Thank you." Tommy says.

The owner of the restaurant spots Tommy and says, "Mr. Merlyn it is good to see you."

"Likewise, Mr. Rizzoli. How have you been?"

"Wonderful, may I interest you in you favorite wine? We just got in a very good year which is just exquisite." The owner says.

"Yes, that would be good." Tommy says.

"I assume your guest is 21?"

"Yes, she is. I vouch for her."

"Well, for you... your word is good enough for me. I will be right back with it."

"They just take you word for it? Isn't that breaking the law?" Christy asks astonished.

"They are more worried about upsetting a Merlyn then making you show ID. Honestly, I wouldn't have gotten upset. I know they would just be doing their job, but my father is very different than me. He's well hard to deal with, so they bend over backwards to keep us happy. I know I shouldn't have used the favor we have with them, but their wine is the best. Besides I will leave them a very generous tip. I hope you are not disappointed in me."

"Of course not. I know you are just trying to make this evening perfect for me. Besides I love a good wine."

Just then the owner came back with the wine and poured Tommy and Christy a glass. They both took a sip of it. "Well, how is it? Would you like for me to leave the bottle?"

"This is amazing." Christy said.

"I believe you have out done yourself, Mr. Rizzoli. This is the best. Please leave us the bottle."

"Very well. Thank you for your kind words."

Christy looks at the menu and realized there were no prices on it. This place has been a first for her. Generally, if clients take her to dinner it is not at this type of restaurant. Clients would rather save their money for another night with her or for someone else. They are not trying to impress a prostitute, so there is no point in a place like this. "There are no prices on the menu. I guess no prices because people that come here do not care how much it costs? I have never been to a place like this before."

"Pretty much. I recommend the lobster or steak depending on what you like. It really is the best in the city."

"I think I will have the steak. Thank you for this. For everything..."

"You are so welcome. You are an amazing person. You deserve so much." Tommy reaches down and takes her hand in his. He leans over and kisses her hand and then he rubs the top of her hand with his thumb. They just keep staring into each other's eyes.

The waiter comes and they order their food. Tommy wants to talk to her. Wants to get to know her, but if he asks about her family or childhood, then that goes back to the child abuse. If he asks about now or what she wants to do with her life since she is just 18, well that only points to one topic: prostitution. He is at a loss for words for once.

Thankfully she speaks up. "So Tommy, tell me about yourself? I want to get to know you."

"Well, let's see... well my dad is a billionaire so I guess that makes me one. I graduated college with a bachelor in Business. My dad wants me to get my master's degree so I can start working for the company. When my dad retires someday the company will mine. It was really hard to concentrate my final year of college because it was when Oliver got on the boat. My heart is just not in it anymore, especially now since he is alive."

"Do you want to work for your dad?"

"Not really. We really don't get along. I was seven when my mom died, the night that it happened he just left for two years. I mostly stayed with the Queen family during that time. When he came back he was so cold. I didn't recognize him anymore. We haven't been close since. I want to help people somehow. Honestly, after meeting you I kinda wish our family can do more for the street kids. Maybe if we can provide for them, they won't have to prostitute themselves. I would also like to help the others in the club get out of that life. I know it is stupid, but that is where my heart is right now."

"Well, that is admirable. There was a shelter for kids, but if a kid showed up there that was under 16, they were taken into foster care by the cops. Probably a law. The police don't really care if kids don't want to go back in the system. Jamie and I were in foster care together after he was released from the hospital, but it turned out we were safer on the streets."

"I'm sorry."

"I am sure there are good foster parents, but some do it for the money and other do it because it is easier to get away with abuse. At least that was our case. The system doesn't always believe the foster parent is at fault for abuse unless there is physical evidence. Sexual abuse is hard to prove unless there is physical evidence and pedophiles know it. I know my view on the foster care system is tainted by our experience. I am sure there are many wonderful foster parents out that that help a lot of kids. It is just some of us street kids have had bad experiences and feel safer on the streets."

Christy continues, "With your money, you could have a group home for the street kids. But you would have to let them come and go as they please or they won't stay. It could still be tricky, but it might work. They would not pass up 3 meals and a safe place to stay unless there are too many rules. It is true if we had a place to go that we felt safe, we wouldn't have started to prostitute ourselves so we could eat. But that is life. Can't change the past."

"Yes, that does sound like a good idea. Maybe someday you can help me since you and Jamie would know what they need to stay and not go back to the streets."

"You should know that if you do take over your dad's company, the company can do a lot philanthropy work with the homeless. Provide shelters and places for food. Stuff like that costs tons of money I am sure. I am not trying to guilt you into working with your father, but corporations can do a lot of good along with other's donations of course."

"Perhaps that would be enough for me to make it worth working for my father. Thank you, it is something to think about."

"That was the most amazing food I ever had. Thank you."

"Yes, this is one of my favorite places." Tommy is thinking how to bring it up, "Look, I want you to know that we do not have to you know... do anything... tonight. Just being with you is enough for me. Really I want this night to be whatever you what. We can have a night on the town if you like."

"But what if I want to do something to you?" Christy says smirking.

Tommy smiles and starts to blush.

"Tommy, I want to be with you. I never really want it, but with you I do for the first time in my life. Please don't think this is because you paid because I know I would want this even if you didn't."

"Okay... I want you, too."

Back at Tommy's apartment, Christy and Tommy walk in with the bottle of wine Tommy purchased at the restaurant. The restaurant had packaged it up for them since they did not get a chance to drink all of it. Tommy grabbed two wine glasses and they both headed to Tommy's bedroom.

He sat the two glasses and the bottle on the nightstand and took off his suit jacket. he then took his shoes and sock off as she took her heels off. He went over to her and ran a finger through her hair. He then brought his hand down to her cheek and caressed it lightly. He then leaned in to kiss her.

Before long they were kissing passionately. Tommy reached around and unzipped her dress and she started to undo his dress shirt. The dress dropped to the floor and she had on a very sexy black lace see-through bra and thong. Not undoing her bra yet, he kissed down her neck with little sensual kisses. Christy tilted her neck back in ecstasy. No one has ever taken their time like this. She loved it so much that it made it difficult to get his belt undone. He kept kissing until he was down to her cleavage. She undid his pants and they dropped to the floor. He kissed her nipple through her bra as he undid the clasp. The bra dropped to the floor.

"You are so beautiful." He says as he leads her to the bed. He gently lays her down in the middle of the bed and hovers over her. He starts to kiss her lips again and then trails his tongue down her body to her belly button. He kisses her belly button lightly and then he drags his teeth lightly down to her thong.

He gently pulls her thong down with his teeth as his lips skim her pussy lips. He pulls the rest of her thong off with his hands because he does not want to rip them with his teeth. He pushes his own boxers down and kicks them off the bed so that they are now both fully naked.

Tommy is rock hard but this is about making her feel good. He starts to lick her pussy lips at first slowly and teasingly. He lightly nibbles on her clit and she arches her back and moans loudly. "Oh...Tommy...Oh..." He continues to eat her own as he plunges his tongue deep in her pussy. "Ahhhh... so so good... I'm-I'm gonna come..."

Tommy lifts his head up for a minute, "Come my dear... come for me"

"Oh god it fe-els s-so good." At that moment Christy comes in his mouth and he love every bit of the way she tastes. "Tommy, I need you...need you in me."

"I need you too." He reaches over to the nightstand and grabs out a condom and slips it on his dick. "Want you... you are so lovely."

With his dick painfully hard, he climbs up through her legs and kisses her on the lips as he pushes in. She gasps and sucks in a breath as Tommy's dick pushes into her pussy.

"God your pussy feels amazing." Tommy says.

"Your dick feels amazing... so good..." Christy says.

Tommy starts out at a slow pace. He wants to make love to her, but then he is beside himself so he starts to speed up. As he is going faster, Christy says, "Oh, yes, yes, I love it." At this moment Tommy realizes that she likes it fast and probably a little harder so he continues.

Tommy speeds up faster and pushes in harder. She responds by moaning louder and louder. Tommy manages to keep this up for about 20 minutes. It is difficult to do, but over the years he has learned to make it last and not come too fast. "I am about to come... you are wonderful."

"Come, Baby." Christy says.

Tommy grunts and comes like crazy as he says, "Christy, you're amazing."

"Your amazing Tommy. Definitely amazing" she says.

Tommy pulls out and collapses next to her on the bed. He gets his breath back and then he leans over and pours them each a glass of their wine.

They lay on their sides facing each other for a while trying to catch their breath and basking in the afterglow of great sex.

"You were awesome." Tommy said.

Christy giggled, "Me? You're the one that was doing all the work. I just laid there."

"Oh, no. Your pussy was definitely participating." Tommy said. They both laughed for a while at that.

"Should we continue this in the Jacuzzi tub?" Tommy asked.

"Definitely" Christy agreed. "You wouldn't mind if I checked my phone real quick, would you?" Christy asked as she kissed him on the lips.

"No, of course not. You go ahead I'll start the water."

Christy got out her phone and noticed there was a missed call from Jamie. She dialed his number, "Jamie is everything okay?" Tommy stopped filling the Jacuzzi and hung in the doorway to the bathroom. He didn't feel like he was imposing since he knew Christy was just checking to see if everything went alright with those three assholes that Jamie took on as a client.

"Everything is okay, I guess. They were rough. More than I anticipated."

"Jamie, is anything broken?" Christy asked sounding worried. Tommy came to stand beside her and put his arm around her. Tommy could hear Jamie talking on the phone.

"No, nothing is broken. It is not that bad, but one them was choking me so my throat is sore. I don't think it is bad enough to go to the doctor, but I will probably be bruised from it. Got a split lip. My face will probably be bruised tomorrow, through."

"Look, why don't you take a pain pill and get some sleep okay." Christy said. Tommy went to start the water again so the Jacuzzi will be ready when she gets off the phone. He then ran downstairs to get the Strawberry Vodka that he was saving for her when she came over. He thinks something a little bit stronger than wine might be in order for tonight. He just hopes that he and the Queen's can convince them tomorrow at lunch to give up this life before it gets them killed.

"Whisky is working real good right now. I hope I didn't ruin your night. I am fine really. Night, Christy."

"You didn't. Good night, we will come by in the morning and see if you are up to going to the Queen family mansion."

"I'll be ready. I have been through worse." Jamie said and with that he hung up. He brought the whisky and the ice packs into his bedroom and laid down in his bed. He turned on the TV to help calm his nerves so he can go to sleep.

Christy and Tommy made their way to the bathroom. Tommy poured a couple of shots of the vodka in their wine glasses. They both get in the Jacuzzi and Christy lays on her side between Tommy's legs. She rests her head on his chest. She looks like she is going to cry, but she doesn't. There are no more tears to cry over her and Jamie's situation.

"Christy, I think it is time you both consider getting out, don't you think?"

"Yeah, I think you are right. Will you help us?"

"Of course. I will help you both. Don't worry you and Jamie will be free."

Christy smiles and kisses him on the lips. "You are a dream come true, Tommy."

"So are you Christy. So are you." Tommy says while kissing her forehead. They both drink their 2 shots of strawberry vodka and enjoy each other's embrace in the warm water.

Christy sighs in relief feeling a sense of peace that she has never felt before.

End Notes:

So forgive me for not having Oliver in this chapter. I wanted to have him in it, but it just did not fit. Oliver is my favorite character, so I will have him in every chapter if it is possible. I hope the sex scene was hot. If was my first fluffy sex scene that I have ever written.
