Mark's nerves were on edge as he watched them put the wire underneath Katlyn's shirt. He was worried something would go wrong. Jackson came over to him.
"Don't worry we got plenty of men in the woods out there, she's safe." Jackson said.
"She better be." Mark growled.
Katlyn walked over to Mark.
"Don't worry, it will be okay." She said wrapping her arms around him.
Mark held her close a minute. He kissed her on top of the head. Katlyn pulled away.
"I got to get going." She said.
"I'm going to follow you." Mark said.
"No way Callaway." Jackson said.
"Now hold the hell on, if ya think I'm letting her go out there without me your crazy." Mark said his voice rising.
"Mark." Katlyn said softly putting her hand on his arm.
Mark looked into her brown eyes mesmerized by the love he seen in them.
"You can't go, Eddie might have someone watching. Let the police handle it." Katlyn said.
Mark wanted to argue, but she was right, if Eddie seen him he might get suspicious.
"Okay little girl." Mark said.
Mark looked at Jackson.
"If anything happens to her, I'm going to hold you responsible." Mark threatened.
Jackson swallowed hard, he would hate to be on this mans bad side.
Katlyn went over and gave Mark a kiss.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Katlyn said.
Mark held her close for a moment. He looked down at her wondering how he had become attached to her so fast.
"Okay girl, go on and get this over with and will get ya tucked in to bed. We got a busy day tomorrow." Mark said.
Katlyn grinned and turned and went out the door.
Mark sat down heavily on the couch. Now he had to wait and hope for the best.
Katlyn walked out to the woods to the meeting place. Sure enough Eddie was waiting there.
"Glad to see you showed Katlyn." Eddie said.
"I said I would." Katlyn said.
"The car you needed is parked on the back road running behind the house." Eddie said.
Katlyn realized she had to get him talking.
"I hope you know I'm doing this against my will." Katlyn said.
"Well girl, you just do what your told or I'll have to hurt your little friend Jessie. We already discussed this." Eddie said.
"Well I wanted to go straight; this was all your idea." Katlyn said.
"Well it's not like your not getting anything out of it. I'm going to give you your fair share." Eddie said.
"Besides this is a brilliant heist. I'm glad I came up with the idea. I'm going to be a very wealthy man. That diamond exhibit is the biggest in the world. You just follow along with my plans or you will regret it, I have no problem killing that little brat if I have to prove a point to you." Eddie said.
Katlyn knew they probably had enough. She moved by as a swat team came swarming out of the woods and surrounded Eddie.
"You little bitch." Eddie snarled as his hands were dragged behind his back.
"I told you I wanted to go straight Eddie." Katlyn said.
"I'll pay you back someday." Eddie said in a calm voice.
Katlyn backed away afraid of the look she seen in Eddie's eyes.
Jackson came over to her.
"You did a good job getting him to talk. Why don't you go on back up to the house and let us handle the rest of this.
Katlyn wasn't about to argue. She was just glad it was over. She turned and headed toward the house. She was eager to be in Mark's arms again.
Mark was pacing back and forth waiting for Katlyn. He turned when he heard the door open. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Katlyn. Katlyn ran over and wrapped her arms around Mark's waist and laid her head on his chest.
Mark picked her up and kissed her gently.
"Are ya okay?" Mark asked.
"Yes, I'm fine." Katlyn said.
Mark sat down on the couch with Katlyn in his arms.
"Did they get him?" Mark asked.
"Yes, he'll be going to jail for a long time." Katlyn said.
Mark sat there a long time with Katlyn in his arms long after she went to sleep.
He finally got up and took her to her bedroom. He pulled the covers back and laid her in the bed. He bent down and kissed her cheek.
"Night Katy." Mark whispered. He stood up and went off to bed himself. Tomorrow was the beginning of a new life for him and her.
