"We were just leaving…" Magnum grabbed Pierces arm and started to pull him towards the car. But the three men stepped in front of them, that is until they saw a few police uniforms walking their way.
"We are now between five men… with guns." Pierce commented as Magnum rolled his eyes in frustration.
"Come on Pierce!" He pulled again as the three men went the opposite way and the two continued toward the car, but the police stopped them quickly.
"Oh it was nothing Officers, I thought I saw a guy who owed me some money…I was mistaken." Pierce responded. "My friend was only trying to keep me from letting it get out of hand, thankfully I was wrong and of course, it won't happen again."
And with a "It better not," verbal warning from the Officers, Magnum and Pierce finally made it back to the Ferrari.
"Well…" Magnum said as he closed his door with more force that usual.
Pierce threw his hands up. "I'm sorry alright…I just saw her…and I wasn't thinking straight."
Magnum nodded in understanding. "I know, now all we have to do is think of another way in that place, they saw us now, so we're going to need some help."
"I have money, whatever help you need won't be a problem."
Magnum smiled slightly. "I got in mind, just the help we'll need."

"No way Thomas…Higgins has me ordering and ordering for all these big wigs coming in for some type of election party…"
"Cash Rick." Magnum knew that would get his attention.
Rick's eyes widened. "How much cash?"
"Enough…now listen, I need you to pose a player looking for a large stash of Vicodin…tell em you're from the main land and are looking for some company while you wait…preferably a blonde, fitting Jenny's description…"
"That's all…?" He smiled slightly. "And what if they don't take the bait Thomas?"
Magnum responded quickly. "We'll find another way…this girl is in deep, we have to get her out."
"And if she doesn't want out?"
"Am I paying you to ask questions or get a job done?" Pierce approached the conversation.
Rick nodded. "Alright."

That following day Rick approached the address and held an expensive briefcase in his hand. Magnum watched form a distance with binoculars, hoping and praying they would take the chance on Rick.
He saw as Rick entered and came out about fifteen minutes later, this time without his briefcase. Rick gave a thumbs up as he walked out, which Magnum saw as he got into his Mercedes and drove off.
"Looks like they fell for it…" Magnum said with a slight smile.
"That's great...what's the next move?"
"That's what we are going to find out." He turned the keys and headed towards the direction Rick had headed moments before.
