Disclaimer in chapter 1. Y'all know the drill by now, R/R, no flames, and yes I think a monkey has better editing skills then I do, but were just going to not admit it. Another short chapter for you simple enjoyment.
"I think I may have a solution." Jesse suggested, everyone was suddenly aware of Jesse, they all stared at him waiting for him to continue.
"What is it Jess?" Mark persisted, his patients slowly dwindling away.
"We can give them the one million dollars, real bill to guarantee Cheyenne's safety, and grant them access out of the country as soon as they release Cheyenne." Jesse explained.
"Jesse that's exactly what they want!" Steve snapped. Jesse shifted nervously, ignoring Steve's tone.
"See, but what I'm thinking is the minute they release Cheyenne and were sure she's safe we let them go, surely they're going to move straight for the border, all we got to do is stop them." Jesse finished. Low mummers were all over the room.
"It's possible, but what if the kidnappers have already thought of that, I don't think these guys are so naïve that they'd give away their ticket out of here up, what if they don't release her until after they cross the border." The captain gave a reality check.
"Then all we can do is pray." Mark suggested. "Jesse's suggestion is currently the only logical one, it's either that or letting the kidnappers kill Cheyenne and get away." Steve sat on the couch rubbing his neck, he didn't want to be in this predicament, he didn't want to be part of the planning that may lead to the signing of his wife and yet-to-be born children's death certificates.
"If only I'd gone by the book, and called for back up before entering my house. Then they wouldn't have Cheyenne." Steve silently scolded. Captain Neuman and Mark observed this the inner conflict of a soon-to-be father, devoted husband, and a cop.
"It's risky, but anything else would be pure suicidal and lead to the death of somebody. Dr. Sloan, start rounding up the money, I'll start getting teams assembled to block the borders." The captain was the one to make it final. He loved his niece he really did, but at the same time he feared he was letting a ring of drug dealers free. He decided to take Dr. Sloan's suggestion…and pray.
