Chapter 5

"Anthony?" Jeannie called from the couch.

Tony walked in and sat down next to his wife, unsure of how she was feeling.

"I am sorry for getting angry with you today."

"It's okay Jeannie I understand. But I would like to make it up to you. How would you like to go out tomorrow night, just the two of us?"

'More like the four of us.' Jeannie thought to herself.

"I would love that Anthony. But there is something I must tell you." She said and looked down at her fingers.

"Sure sweetheart what is it?"

"Well," She started but was rudely interrupted by the telephone.

"Just a minute Jeannie." He said and stood to answer the phone.

"Hello? Oh hello sir."

Jeannie was upset that she couldn't tell her husband about their children. She figured he would not be on the phone long and she would be able to tell him soon.

"Yes this is Melissa Stone, look Jeremy I need a favor."

Melissa was standing in the middle of a hotel room talking quietly over the phone.

' Anything you need Liz.' Came a soft male voice on the other end.

"I was hoping you'd say that. This will be the last thing I will ever ask of you."

'The last? Too bad, I thought it would be nice working together again.'

"Well after this we wont want to have any connection to each other, I can assure you."

The voice was hesitant with its reply.

'What is it you want exactly?'

"I need to get rid of someone." She said roughly, making her point.

'You mean you want me to kill?'

"No, nothing like that, I just need someone out of the way for a while."

'What for?'

"Well, she has something I want."

"I will be there momentarily sir. Yes I understand. Yes sir, goodbye." Tony hung up the phone and grabbed his hat.

"Anthony where are you going?"

"I'm sorry sweetheart, but the general needs me to do some testing." He said then saw the hurt in Jeannie's eyes.

"Don't worry darling I will be back as soon as I can."

"But I need to talk to you. Master, it's important."

"Tell me when I get home, okay?"

Jeannie sighed and nodded.

"I'll see you when I get home. I love you."

"I love you too."
