Hamilton's Bermuda: Rosewood Bermuda Resort (most expensive) 20minutes from airport across Castle Harbor. 0100am

The pounding of the door is pissing me off, we just got in from the Casino in the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club. I had to have the firm wire-transfer another 38,952.75 Pound sterling (50,000 dollars). Third day in a row. The other directors are getting panicky about it. So far this retrieval of my daughter is costing me 233,718.00 Pound sterling (300,000 dollars).

We're stuck here till next Thursday, I must talk Eliana into a couple of early nights. At 54,534.20 Pound sterling (70,000dollars) when we gamble, 15,581.20 Pound sterling (20,000dollars) when we don't. I stagger to the door, Eliana is passed out on the bathroom floor.

"Alright this better be important!" I open the door to my secretary Hamilton, my fixer.

"Miss Lambert is in Seattle. A schoolmate from Cambridge called me. The Consular in San Francisco is flying to Seattle for the Countess marriage to a local business man. I learned that young Mr. Lambert flew with Sharp to Florida Wednesday. My friend confirmed: He's in Seattle with Miss Tranter. I ordered the pilot to ready the jet and get the first available time to depart. He will call me when it finalized."

"Damm it! Even if they rush, she can't marry before Saturday. Could she?"

"We don't know how long they have been planning it, but she must follow the rules your brother set up. It should be Sunday at the earlies."

"OK. Where Leia?"

"I don't know, I will endeavor to find her. Will we delay if we can't find her?"

"Yes. Send a maid to help pack, coffee for Eliana. Notify me when we know more." Leave Leia here, she'd go spending nuts without my steady hand & whistling belt. I've got to get dressed, but haul Eliana into the shower. Turn on the water and wait for her to scream murder.

O400 Bermuda:

We sit in our Cessna Citation X (Model 750), finally taking off. We must stop over in St. Louis, Missouri of all place to transit American customs and petrol up the damm airplane. I take a pill to deal with the thirteen-hour flight. I recline the seat, Eliana is already out, while Leia is buzzing on some club drug. I'm sure Hamilton or Morehouse our CPO will deal with her. I try to let my temper go. The packing took forever, what should have been twenty minutes taxis to the airfield across Castle Harbor. Took an hour, we had to reschedule departure. Damm locals had to do road work on the causeway in the wee hour before dawn.

I watch Bermuda disappear in the window. Yes blackness. I will beat the girl this time. Make her understand her place in the family. Damm my brother and mother for corrupting her. I will beat her this. (sleep takes him)

St. Louis Missouri International Private Plane Terminal is atrocious, reminds me of that terminal in Rwanda Carla drag us too; See the Mountain Gorilla. All I got was the runs. I wish these idiots will hurry. I see Hamilton get off his cell phone, looking upset, worried.

"Sir. I have more information. Miss Lambert is marrying today. This morning, at approximately 10am Seattle time. The soonest we will be in Seattle is approximately 1pm Seattle time. But she is getting a church wedding, And the Civil Ceremonies at City Hall are booked until Tuesday. I have hired a local Security company; They are moving to get her away from this business man; A Mr. Trevelyan. I'm having the firm check on what information is available; Dun & Bradstreet, Lloyds. We should know more when we land"

"Departure from this shit hole?"

"We can re-board in twenty minutes, we should depart about ten minutes later. Arrival in Seattle Boeing Field at 1pm local. Anything else, Sir?"

"No, nothing we can do till we are on the ground. Damm it! That's all Hamilton" I pace the window, Eliana is playing some phone game about Candy or something. Leia is stiffly standing; Hamilton and Morehouse were rough on her. Good she will obey me.

1300pm Seattle Boeing Field

We are circling waiting for a private Boeing Business Jet BBJ, a converted 737. I wish we could buy a plane like that. I watch as the strange colored jet lifts off. What rich uncouth asshole paints his plane gray. Planes should have some flash, like the family colors on my Citation X.
