Plans Gone Wrong

Theresa stood outside the airport waiting for an available taxi, her luggage by her side. Theresa scanned her surroundings, she inhaled deeply. Everything around her bustled with life and the scenery was so beautiful she couldn't help but smile.

Theresa spotted an empty cab and waved to the driver hoping that he would see her and help her with her bags. "Bonjour monsieur." Theresa said in French. "Bonjour mademoiselle." He said giving her a friendly smile picking up her bags.

Theresa stepped into the cab and once the driver jumped in she gave him the directions to her Aunt's apartment. They drove at a rapid speed but Theresa enjoyed it. It had been so long since she enjoyed something.

Once they arrived Theresa paid the driver. He took her bags out of the cab and then continued to help her bring the bags up to the apartment. "Merci." Theresa said thanking him for the help. She stood in front of the apartment door and took out her keys.

Theresa pushed the door open and brought her bags inside. Theresa was amazed at how beautiful the apartment was. It was decorated with black leather sofas, gorgeous artwork and a beautiful balcony that looked out towards the busy streets of Paris.

Theresa shut the door and ran to the balcony looking out at the vast scenery. The Ifel Tower loomed in the distance. "Oh this is breathtaking." Theresa said with a sigh. She reluctantly went back into the living room and looked around.

She spotted a full bar just off of the living room. The stools were also black so they would mach the leather couches. The countertop was made out of a beautiful glass. "This is going to be the best vacation ever.

Theresa was going to spend two whole weeks in Paris and she wanted to get in enough site seeing before she had to leave for home. Theresa brought her suitcase into what was to be her bedroom.

When she walked in she was surprised at how breathtaking the room was. The large king-sized bed was covered with romantic night-blue sheets. The floor was covered in a beautiful white Persian rug. "I wonder why I haven't heard a lot about Aunt Nancy?" Theresa thought out loud. Theresa knew she was going to enjoy her two weeks immensely.

Theresa flopped on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. 'I wonder if I should pack know or if I should just pack later.' Theresa thought. 'Maybe I should start unpacking know that way I don't have to unpack when I'm tired later.' Theresa got up and quickly began to unpack.

When she finished she changed out of her clothes and took a long bubble bath. Theresa sighed as she laid her head back. 'I deserve this.' She thought closing her eyes and relaxing falling asleep.

"Mr. Crane?" Asked a short balding man poking his head around the door. "What have I told you about disturbing me." Said Alistair angrily. "I'm sorry Mr. Crane... but... I have some bad news." He said pushing the door open more. "What is it? And this better be good." The man swallowed and stepped forward.

"Well I... The Lopez-Fitzgerlad girl has left Harmony." "So... how does her leaving Harmony bring me bad news." Alistair asked. "Well sir... she left for Paris." He said closing his eyes waiting for the wrath of the all and mighty powerful Alistair Crane. "What!" Said Alistair slamming his hand down on his desk.

"Well sir she left just this morning... and she got there a few hours ago." 'How could this happen? All my planning and the little bitch still seems to find her way to cause trouble. If she some how runs into Fox they will piece it together that I was the cause of them thinking that they were both dead.' Alistair had to come up with something.

He had to get rid of Theresa. 'But how?' Then the idea struck him and he started to carry out his orders. He knew just how he was going to fix this little problem.
