A/N: Chapter 5! YAY!
"Frank...say something?"
It had been an hour since he had picked up the 'package' Frank how not said a word to Terri the entire ride. He had no idea what was going on, but all he knew is that Donald would pay, but right now he had to think of how to get Terri out of this mess.
"Why are you all dressed up?"
"Donald told me I had to attend a party, but I Don't think it's jump some party Frank...something bad is going to happen"
"Did he give you anything to give me?"
"Yes..."
Terri reached into her purse and pulled out a small disk. She handed it over to Frank, he took it with his free hand and inspected it, still keeping an eye on the road then then gave it back to her.
"What is it Frank?"
"I Don't know...did he tell you anything?"
"Only that as soon as we arrive I am suppose to meet with Issac. Who is meeting us wherever we are heading...where are we heading?"
Frank handed her the envelope. Terri opened it up and looked at the address and got wide eyed.
"This cant be right...no no...this is not right at all"
"What? What isn't right"
"The Harding House...this cant be the right address, Donald isn't this narrow minded"
"He tied you up and stuffed you in a van..."
"Be quiet. No, the Harding House, it's a piece of estate owned by the Governors son Phillip. And when you think top security this is it. No one is allowed in or out without special permission. Wait a minute..." She went back to her purse and pulled out a small envelope and pulled out what was inside, two tickets.
"What is it?"
"Tickets...to Phillips engagement. Damn it, where did he find these..."
"Wait, you knew about this?"
"In a sense...Phillip is my half brother...same father...different mothers, he invited me to his engagement to his girlfriend of 3 years..."
"Wait...Your the governors daughter!"
"Don't make a deal please! I would've told you sometime..."
"Never mind...why would Donald try to sabotage your brother?"
"It has to for money. If my father and brother dies all of the estate and power goes to me. Daddy never approved of Donald, which was a reason I tried to end it...but you know Donald. But beside the point...I cant believe this...he is trying to kill my family..."
Terri wiped a tear that had fallen down her cheek. Frank sighed, "Terri, let me promise you...no one, you or your family is going to die tonight..."
"Don't make promises you cant keep"
"Rule number 4 Terri, I never do"
Frank took her hand and pulled it to his lips squeezing it, trying to give her some hope that he would succeed in this.
"Frank you better have a plan"
"Let's just say the I have connections"
"We can only hope"
Frank pulled into the driveway of the estate. They pulled up to the gate and a man knocked on their window.
"Name?"
"Frank Martin and Terri Shaw"
The man looked over the list and made two checks and nodded to the other man at the gate. He pushed a button and it opened up.
"Enjoy your night"
Frank nodded and rolled his window up. Terri hugged herself, she had a bad feeling about this. Driving up to the space to park he turned off the ignition. They both got out of the car, Frank walked to the trunk and opened it, revealing a small bag. He opened to check that everything was in their, which consisted of many types of weapons.
"Give me the bag..."
"Why?"
"You'll never make it past security...I can"
"I guess your the expert"
Frank got the bag out and handed it to her, she nodded and was about to start walking toward the house, when suddenly Frank grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him. Pushing her against the car he kissed her passionately. When they broke apart , they both smiled.
"Frank...about this morning"
"Don't, it's fine, I was never mad"
Terri dropped the bag and hugged him, Frank didn't care about anything right now...he had Terri again and that was all that mattered, but for how long? Could they make it? Frank grabbed her hand and she took the bag, they walked to the house.
"Ms. Shaw, how wonderful to see you" The greeter at the door said smiling. Terri smiled back, and hugged the old man.
"Hello Tony, it's wonderful to be back home as well, I'd like you to meet my friend...Frank Martin" Frank held out his hand and shook Tony's
"Pleasure Tony"
"The pleasure is all mine, it's wonderful to see a smile back on Terri's face"
Terri blushed and hide in Franks shoulder, she could hear Franks laughter. They excused themselves and walked into the house. It was huge...Frank was astonished by its size. Terri found a open closet and threw the bag in there. Then she directed him to the ball room. Frank held her hand and escorted her though the doors. As they entered a voice rang out.
"Terri! Terri is that you!" Terri looked up to the voice that was calling her name, she looked through the crowd to see Phillip rushing toward her. Terri smiled and let go of Franks hand running toward him.
"Phillip!" She flung her arms around him hugging him. He laughed and spun her around.
"My baby sister...look at you...you look fantastic, your beaming!"
Phillip handed Terri some champagne. He clicked it with hers before taking a drink.
"Do i really look changed? It hasn't been that long"
"Terri, 7 months is a long time"
"I guess...so where is Susan?"
"Susan had to catch a plane to Milan for business, but she said not to cancel the party, never liked wasted money. But anyway, how are things with Donald?"
"Donald is no longer with her"
Frank said walking up to the two. Phillip looked at Terri, then to Frank.
"And you are?"
"Frank Martin" Frank held out his hand. Phillip hesitated for a moment, Terri didn't catch it but Frank did, not dropping his hand or gaze Frank waited patiently. Phillip them met his gaze smiled and shook his hand.
"Welcome Mr. Martin, tell me...how do you know my sister?"
"Phillip, this isn't the place"
"Aw, come on sis, obviously some thing has happened, I would love to hear about it?"
"Hear about what?"
Terri turned to see her father standing behind her. She smiled and hugged him.
"Woah...princess, I'm happy to see you to...now hear about what?"
"Mr. Martin was just about to tell the story..."
"..of how I saved Terri's like one night after work. She was attacked and I happened to be in the area and I saved her life" Frank interrupted.
"My gos..sweet ms is this true?"
"Dad it was nothing, but I was thankful Frank was there..."
"Well then..." Her father walked over and shook Franks hand, "Any man who saved my babies life is a welcome man in my home" Frank smirked and shook his hand also. Terri smiled...he had gained respect with her father.
:Thank you Mr. Governor"
"Please...please...call me Albert, I wasn't born governor"
"My mistake Albert"
"Now...who wants a drink?"
Albert walked in front and took Terri's hand , Terri gave her drink to Frank and smiled leaving him with Phillip.
"So...Mr. Martin. What are your intentions with my sister" He asked taking a sip.
"I believe that is our business, if you Don t mind"
"Actually" Phillip set his glass on the table, then walked behind Frank, Frank felt something push into him, it was a gun. Phillip whispered to him, "I need to know your exact intentions. See, my sister is here for a certain reason...one I cant have ruined. Do we have a deal?" Terri was now walking back with her father smiling, she looked so happy. Frank gritted his teeth.
"We have a deal, now let me go"
"Pleasure"
Frank coughed to make a small scene, causing Phillip to pull away from him. Frank continued to cough and went to the table resting against it, then scribbled something on on the napkin he hand used to cover his mouth with. Concerned Terri walked back over and took her place next to Frank. She wrapped one arm around Frank and squeezed him, "You ok?" Frank put his arm around her.
"I'm fine" He said.
"Ok" She said. Phillip walked over to his sister.
"Might I steal him away for a minute, you have someone that wanted to speak with you, an Issac?"
Franks arms tightened around Terri's waist, he didn't want to let her go, he didn't even want her here, something was going on and her brother was in on it. Terri didn't want to go either but she had to, she knew the kind of man Donald was, in her own home or not, he still could try anything. So she agreed. Before Frank let her go he slipped the napkin into her hand, she made sure no one was watching as she slipped it underneath the dress. Walking away she left Frank alone with Phillip and Albert.
"So Frank, my daughter tells me you are a professional driver..what for?"
"People need things delivered, I deliver them, I'm actually thinking of changing careers, sometimes it will do someone well, Don t you agree?"
"Brains and brawns, I like you Frank, I like you a lot. Hopefully this wont be the last time we see each other, tell that daughter of mine your welcome anytime."
"I will do that sir, and thank you"
Phillip drank his drink, anger gleaming from his eyes. Then something changed, Frank noticed his eyes had reverted to what was behind him. Frank looked up causally at the ceiling, the mirror there showed 3 men walking into the room Terri had just gone into, and they were carrying a large container. Frank was pretty sure that was more cocktails.
"Will you excuse me? I have some people I need to say hello to, Frank...Father"
"Nice meeting you Phillip" Frank sneered, in a tone only Phillip could pick up.
"You to Frank"
Phillip excused himself. Frank needed to get into that room, but before anything, he stopped, he saw Donald walk into the room that Phillip entered, the same room Terri was in. This wasn't good, Frank made his way over excusing himself from Albert when suddenly the lights went black. Screaming filled the ballroom. Frank stopped and braced himself for whatever was coming. Then a shot rang out, more screaming, there was no way more Frank to get out of their now. When the lights went back on security had already made its way through telling everyone to calm down. Thats when Frank took in a breath.
At his feet was Albert Harding, lying in a pool of blood. Frank knew this couldn't have looked good. Terri, Phillip, and Donald all ran into the ballroom. Terri screamed and ran to her father on the floor, cradling his head in her hands. Sobbing. Phillip screamed, "Arrest that man" Pointing to Frank.
"I didn't do anything!"
Security grabbed him before he could move and search him, they pulled out a 9mm, they opened the mag to see 1 shot missing, they pushed it up and then took their handcuffs out and cuffed him.
"Terri I didn't do this! You have to believe me!"
Terri looked up, tears glistening down her face. She walked up to Frank and stood in front of him.
"Terri..."
Then she slapped him, slapped him so hard it echoed in the building. She thinks I did it He thought. He couldn't look at her. Security escorted him out of the ballroom.
"Take him to the cell in the basement, we Don t want him going anywhere..." Phillip said smiling as he looked as his sister. She wiped her eyes and walked away. Their father was dead and Frank was deemed guilty of it.
Things are going accordingly to plan Phillip smiled to himself.
