Chapter 2

The Mission Begins

A few days had passed since Van and Fiona were given the mission. After a few reherals they got the idea. They were still a bit nervous about the marrige thing, but they both knew they had to do it.

A black car arrived at the port where the Shadow Night was. Van and Fiona were inside. A soldier dress as a chauffer handed them something in a black box.

"Colonel Crougar told me to give you this in case you might need it." Said the soldier as he handed them the box.

Van opened it and found a gun. He hoped deep inside that he wouldn't have to use it.

The chaufeer open the door so Van could get out. Then Van held out his hand so Fiona could get out.

"Ok let's get this done." Said Fiona. Van put an arm around her and then heade towards the boat.

******

"Mr. Price everyone has boarded the ship. If you wish we can head out sea now." Said the Captian.

"Alright. Have everyone meet me in the main dining room." Said James Price.

"Yes sir." Said the Captian. The Captian then left.

James went threw a some files until he found the one he was looking for. A smile appeared in his face. Even though it was just a picture he started to caress it.

"Soon." Was all James said.

******

Both Van and Fiona were amazed by how big and beautiful the ship was. ( Just imagen Titanic. )

"Wow this place is great." Said Fiona as she look around.

"Yeah I know. This guy must have a lot if money." Said Van as he too admire the ship.

"Attention everyone. I'm Captian and I'll be your captian for this trip. Please everyone go to the main dining room so that you may meet the owner of this amazing beauty." Said Captian.

Van and Fiona headed towards the dining room. As soon as everyone was there James appeared.

"Greeting everyone. I'm happy that you are here. I'm James Price the owner of the Shadow Night. I hope you all enjoy your trip here. If you have any questions or comments feel free to ask me or anyone of the workers." Said James. He sparkeling green eyes searched for someone. A smile appeared as he found her.

"So that's James Price. If he is the one who is guilty for all the deaths of those women I'll make hime pay." Said Van as kept starring at James.

"I know Van, but don't hurry yourself. We can't jump into conclusions." Said Fiona a bit worried.

"You must be Mr. and Mrs. Edwards." Said James as he came out of know where.

Both Van and Fiona where a bit startled.

"Uh yes we are." Said Van a bit unsure.

"You seem to doubt it." Said James.

"Of course he doesn't. You just surprised us." Said Fiona covering for Van.

"I'm sorry if I scared you. Are you enjoying yourselfs?" Asked James.

"Yes we are. This is a lovely ship." Said Fiona feeling a bit nervous around him.

"But Kathy your more lovelier." Said James as he just look at her. It seem like Van wasn't even there.

Fiona was taking back. She had forgotten that her name was now Kathy.

On the other hand Van hadn't forgotten. /This guy is making a move on my wife!/ Van getting annoyed by this.

"I think we should go rest." Said Van trying to break this little conversation.

"Oh of course. I'll see you at dinner." Said James, but it seem that he was saying it to Fiona. He grabbed her hand and kiss it.

Van didn't know why he wasn't liking this. This feeling kept bugging him, a feeling he hadn't felt before.

Fiona just smiled. Chills ran down her spinde when James kissed her hand. What ever was it she didn't like it.

"We better go." Said Van. He grabbed Fiona's hand and headed towards their room.

******

James just watched as they left. / Soon./ A smile appeared in his face. "Very soon."

Some guest approached him to talk with him.

******

Fiona was putting her clothes inside the drawers. "Van do you want me to put our clothes away?" Asked Fiona as she had finished putting away hers.

"I don't care." Said Van who was still annoyed.

Fiona looked at him. "What is wrong Van?" Asked Fiona worried.

"Nothing." Van got up and headed to the living room.

Fiona stopped what she was doing and went after Van. Van just sat on the couch and turn on the t.v. Fiona sat next to him.

"Tell me what is wrong?" She asked.

"I said nothing." Van didn't even know why he was mad.

"Look Van I know you. I know something is wrong." Said Fiona hoping that Van would tell her what was wrong.

"I just didn't like that way he was looking at you." Said Van. Why was he mad because he had stared at her for a long time?

"I didn't like it either, but there was nothing that I could do." Said Fiona who had felt shivers down her spine when James was looking at her.

Van was happy that she agreed with him. He didn't know why, but he was happy now.

"Van we should finish installing the camaras around this room." Said Fiona.

"Yeah you're right." Said Van as he got up.

******

"Go annunce that dinner will be serve in an hour." Said James.

"Yes Mr. Price." Said one of the servants.

James had a bright smile. He just needed to arrange a couple more things so his plan can begin.

*****

There was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Said Van.

Van opened the door and found a servant.

"Mr. James is asking all of our guest to meet him in the main dining room for dinner. In an hour it will be ready. " Said the servant.

"Sure will be there." Said Van.

Van closed the door and went to tell Fiona.

"Hey we should get ready. A servant came to tell us that dinner will be ready soon." Said Van as he help Fiona put away the stuff.

"Ok. I guess it's time to start acting." Said Fiona. Fiona opened the closet and grabbed a dress and matching shoes. "I'll go change in the bathroom."

"Ok." Said Van. He started to look for something that he should wear. /Great, now I have to weat some suit. Oh great! How am I suppose to this a knott for a tie?/ Thought Van.

Fiona looked at herself in the mirror. She satisfy herself. The pink dress fight her well. It was a spagetti strap dress the it reached a couple inches below her knee. The shoes were the same color so they match.

Fiona exited the bathroom only to find and angry Van trying to do a knott with the tie. She let out a giggle. Van turn to see her.

"This isn't funny. I'm suppose to be a rich guy and rich guys know how to do a knott tie." Said Van who was annoyed.

"Here let me help you." Said Fiona as she grabbed the tie. She started twirling it and moving it. "Ok it's done."

Van looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a blue suit. "Where did you learn how to do a tie knott?"

"When I was working for Dr. D. Sometime he neede to go to important meetings so he tought me how to do it." Said Fiona with a smile.

"We should go now." Said Van. He let out his arm, "Are you ready my lady?"

Fiona smiled and put her arm around Van's arm. "Yes milord." Fiona let out a soft giggle.

******

The room was fill with many people. There was laughter in the air. People were talking and having fun.

"Ok so what do we do now?" Whispered Fiona to Van.

"Blend in." Said Van.

"Hi you must be Mr. and Mrs. Edwards." Said a man.

"Yes we are." Said Van.

"Nice to meet you." Said a woman the is next to the man.

"Nice to meet you too." Said Fiona.
