"Where is this guy, Sam?"
The five of us had been standing up front for almost an hour. Some whales have been known for showing up late, but an hour was a little extreme. This whale had said four o'clock on the dot, and now it was a quarter until five.
"I don't know, but this is getting ridiculous. I've tried calling the number he left the casino like five times and no one answers. Ever."
"Should we call daddy down?"
Before anyone can answer Delinda's question, an well dressed man in his late thirties come walking through the front door, and we can only assume that it is the whale.
"We'll see you ladies later."
Danny and Mike say, before turning to walk away. For some reason, I didn't want them to go, though. This guy was giving off bad vibes and I had a horrible feeling about what was about to go down. The man steps in front of Del, Sam, and I and just stands there, a stone cold expression on his face.
"Are you Jack Keaton?"
Sam asks, just to verify that this is the guy we are waiting for. I see a spark of recognition in the man's eyes, and he slowly nods his head.
"Hi, I'm Sam Marquez, and I,"
Sam steps forward to shake his hand, just like she greats all of her other whales, but the guy freaks out, and pulls a gun out front inside of his jacket. The three of us slowly take steps backward, not wanting to make any sudden movements.
"All of you stop moving or I will blow your brains out!"
Hearing the man yell, everyone in listening distance starts to stare at us, not sure of what to do or say. Looking behind Jack, I see Danny and Mike walking over to start negotiations, which to me sounds like a good idea, because I hadn't brought my gun with me.
"Everyone listen! If I don't get exactly what I want, these three ladies here are going to die!"
I looked over at Del who looked like she was about to bawl and over at Sam, who looked more pissed off than anything else. I knew I should try to do something to stop this, but I couldn't do anything without putting the girls at risk.
"Look, Jack, just let the girls go. They're of no use to you!"
We hear Ed say as he practically runs into the room, standing next to Mike and Danny. Both of them were ready to draw their weapons and fire at a moments notice.
"Oh, Mr. Deline, you have no idea how much these girls are worth! They are worth the million dollars you are going to get me right now before I lose control!"
He shouts, waving the gun around, making all of us more and more nervous.
"Do you even know who those girls are?"
"Well, this one I know is Samantha Marquez, and this one is your daughter, Delinda Deline, but her, I have no idea who this gorgeous woman is."
None of us has time to react, before Jack grabs me and holds me in front of him, like a human shield. He has one arm around my neck, holding me there, while his other hand is holding the gun to my forehead. It was at that very moment that Danny made one of the toughest decisions ever; he would trade his life for mine.
