Princess da Vinci: Hey there you are again :) Thanks for your nice review. I never am quite sure if the story is really exciting… But I am happy you think so. Keep reviewing hun, I missed you! Much fun!

i run with scissors: Hello dear! Thankies for your review. I tried to create a really sympathetic character when I made the first notes about Janus' character. So happy everyone seems to like him. I think it's really a difficult matter about the Bishop… But in my opinion he is the most difficult character in the book anyway.

Kelly Tolkien: Thank you… Face gets better everyday… I nearly look pretty again (looooool)

Fabala4077: Thanks for your review and much fun with this chapter :) I like him, too… He is no danger for my love for Silas though (g)

DarkSarcasm: Hehe… I loved writing the small beating-up scene… But I kinda had my problems writing it… That's nothing our teachers taught us back at school (g) I hope I can find some good fist-fight scenes in some of the English-written novels I own so I can write a good showdown… I already wrote the last scenes down, by the way. (in German that is!) Have fun dear.

Raki505: My face… Operation stuff and all… Nasty story (g) Oh I am so thankful you like the story. The reviews of my readers make me keep writing and trying my best :) Have fun ;)

Eiri-Uesugi: (g) Yeah. I hope you will like this chapter. Have a nice weekend I hope to see you at msn.

Lady Niyha: Thank you very much :) I defiantly will punish Lucius… Even though it was me who made him do all these things but… Hey I am the author… It's my job to entertain my readers (g). Have fun.


Chapter 9- Enough

Lilly blinked several times before she nodded. The man sat up and grinned at her.

"What is your name?" he asked in a friendly voice.

The small girl smiled a small smile and sat down on the floor again, offering her hand to the stranger.

"My name is Lilly Figen. Who are you?"

Her big blue eyes looked up at him. She remembered that her Mum and Dad had told her not to talk to strangers. Normally she would obey to her parents' rules but… This was a different matter. They were both locked in a room and she had felt lonely anyways.

The tall man shook her hand and bowed his head.

"I am Janus Degray… His brother." He said and nodded into the direction of the door. The small girl was surprised.

"He is your brother, Sir?" she asked, not really believing what she had just heard. Brothers should not beat up each other. This man was nothing like the bad one. He looked much more friendly than the other.

The man chuckled though.

"Yeah…"

Lilly frowned. Why would the brother of the bad man want? And why did his… brother locked him in as well? The small girl was a bit confused.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

Mr Degray stood up slowly, held his head and moaned. He grinned a bit he offered a hand and pulled her up to her feet. The girl giggled a bit.

"Getting you out of here."

The girls' face lit up.

"Really?" she asked quite excited and Janus nodded. A squeal could be heard and a three year old was jumping up and down happily. Janus eyes widened in shock and he kneed down to cover her mouth with his hand. The girl made a shocked noise behind his hand.

"Shh… You don't want him to know, do you, Lilly?"

Turning her head slightly she shook her head. Letting go of Lilly he eyed her. She looked at him sadly. Janus had scared her.

"Then you need to be silent! I bet someone will be coming quite soon to help us." He told her and she smiled again.

"Will my Mommy and Daddy come, too?" she asked and Mr Degray nodded friendly. "He will not hurt them if they come, will he?" Lilly added a bit shocked.


Janus hesitated for a moment.

Aringarosa wouldn't be so stupid to come alone with Silas and his wife.

He smiled a bit.

"No he won't! I bet your Mum and Dad will be happy to see you again, don't you?" he asked to make her think of something else. The girl smiled enthusiastically.

"Yes! Do you know if they are okay?" she asked.

Janus wasn't really sure.

"I was told that they are at your house right now… I think they are fine… The man that asked me to come here didn't tell me much, you know!" he explained to her.

Bishop Aringarosa had called him one hour ago. He had known this would happen… But he had hoped that it wouldn't be necessary. Lucius had come to a visit two weeks ago… His older brother had been kind of… Janus didn't even know a word that could describe his state back then!

"I will do it, Janus!" he had said while he drank a cup of tea.

"What do you mean?" the small brother had asked in a concerned voice. Lucius had given him an almost happy smiled… No not happy… proud!

"I will punish the ones that want to destroy Opus Dei… The ones that tried to criticise us…and Silas… I will…" he stuttered but his brother interrupted him.

"Lucius… What are you talking about?"

His brother hadn't told him about the things he had planned but… When the Bishop had called him he knew it had something to do with Lucius and his plans. But he would never have thought that… He had kidnapped a child… On the other hand he should have known that his brother hadn't been kidding…

Damn!

Janus himself had two daughters and he couldn't even think about a day when they where not around… let alone taken away from him.

So he had asked Aringarosa if he could help in any possible way… and the Bishop had thanked him and had agreed.

Silas and his wife would get their daughter back!


The phone called and Silas and Anna jumped up from their chairs. The tall albino was the first to pick up the phone.

"Hello?"

Anna was by his side and she grabbed his hand to hold it tightly. Silas knew it was Bishop Aringarosa… It just had to be him…

"Silas? It's Bishop Aringarosa… I know where your daughter is."

The albinos' heart was beating faster as he heard the good news and he looked down at his wife. She gave him a questioning look.

"He knows where Lilly is!" he whispered and she smiled up at him and tears were coming into her eyes. Silas freed his hand and gently touched her face, feeling how his own eyes became wet.

"Where is she Bishop?" he asked.

Aringarosa gave him the address he noted on a note-block that lay beside the phone. Anna took the paper and scanned it.

"I know where that is." She told him and Silas nodded.

"Thank you, Bishop!" he told the other man and wanted to end the talk but Aringarosa began to talk again.

"Wait! I will meet you there… I… I do not want anyone to get hurt!"

An angry look must have crossed Silas' features because Anna's hand was placed on his shoulder gently.

"You cannot be serious." He hissed into the phone but the Bishop stayed calm.

"Please Silas… I…"


Anna had enough of this.

The small woman stood on her tiptoes and took the phone from her husband.

"Listen Bishop… I will personally make him regret even to think about doing any harm to us if he touched my daughter. Come if you need to… But do not count on getting him out of that healthy." She said and hang up.

Silas gave her a surprised look.

"I'm sorry… Let's go Silas…" she said and rushed over to grab their coats. Her husband followed her and they left the house together. "We will need some time until we are there." Anna told him as she went over to the car. Normally they did not really use it but she wanted to hurry up. "You will drive Silas…"

He nodded.

"As you wish…" he said and grabbed the keys from her. She was not able to drive now and she knew it… Anna would probably cause an accident while trying to get to Lilly as quickly as possible.


As they drove off Silas looked at her for a moment.

"Are you fine?" he asked and as she looked at him, Silas saw that she was crying and smiling at the same time.

"Everything is going to be fine… I know it!" she said and leaned over to kiss his cheek.


That's enough for today don't you think?
