Friends Forever?
Chapter nineDanny went down to the gambling room to talk to Nessa. "Hey, Nessa, can I talk to you?"
"Sure," the English woman replied She walked over toward Danny. "What do you need?"
"I need you to tell me what happened when Mary left last night."
"Um, she walked over to you, gave you a peck on the cheek, and then walked out of the Montecito."
"Did you see Parkerson follow her?"
"Yeah. But he didn't leave directly after her. He waited for about fifteen minutes."
"Do you know what kind of car he had?"
"I didn't take notice, but I saw the color. It was like a midnight black."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Danny is Mary all right?"
"Mary." Just saying her name made him want to cry. "Mary's fine."
"I'll see you around, Danny. I have to get back to work."
"See ya." After Nessa walked away his cell phone rang.
"McCoy."
"I'm at the hospital.. I asked what room Mary was in and they told me that she had expired last night. Why the hell didn't you tell me!"
"Ed, I'm sorry it must have slipped my mind."
"How could your best friend's death slip your mind?"
"I don't know Ed, but I gotta go."
"Danny don't you hang up on me…"
Too late, Danny had hung up on him. He couldn't take another minute on that phone talking about her. It was now all in the past.
A mailman walked up to the front desk. "I have a letter for Mr. McCoy, surveillance."
"I'll send it right up to him," the receptionist replied.
The ex-marine walked into the surveillance room just as the letter had been sent up.
"Danny, there's a letter here for you," said Mitch who was in a wheelchair.
"Thanks, Mitch. Danny took the letter from his hands and opened it. Once her read it his mouth dropped. "She's alive."
"Who's alive?" asked Mitch confused.
"Um, no one." He didn't mention what was in the letter. For if he did the kidnapper said he would kill Mary, for real this time.
10 Hours Later…Danny was at his home reading the letter over and over again.
Sticks and stones
Can break her bones
Unless you do everything I say
She won't get hurt, okay
The love of you life is still alive
Only you can make sure if she'll survive
Now drive to the airline
And get on flight 629
Before it's too late
And be dressed for a date
Danny kept thinking if he should go to the airport. Then he made up his mind and walked outside and got into his car.
Las Vegas Airport…Danny arrived at the airport a little after 11 pm. He soon walked over to the main desk. "Can I have a ticket to flight 629?"
"I'm sorry sir, there's no such flight."
"Oh." A paper airplane soared across the room and hit him in the temple.
Danny picked it up off the ground and unfolded it. It read:
Flight 629 has just arrived
Since you're here, has Mary survived?
She's waiting for you at the café
Listen to what she has to say.
Danny rushed off to the café and once he got there he saw Mary sitting at one of the tables. Danny ran over to her.
"Mary, are you okay?"
"You can't tell anyone I'm still alive."
"Why?"
"Because he said so."
"Do you know who he is?"
"I'm not allowed to say."
"Has he hurt you?"
Mary didn't answer. A tear slipped down her cheek.
"Mary did he hurt you?" he asked worriedly.
"Yeah." She pulled back her hair to reveal a new cut along her neck. "he said he would make it deeper if you didn't do what he said."
Danny reached out and grabbed Mary's hand. "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, okay?"
Mary nodded her head, but couldn't help feeling fear that she may never get to see her friends again, especially Danny.
