Joe walked into his dining room ready to get this over with so he could be with his family. Phil looked up at him, "Joe, I have been going through all the cameras in Grant Enterprise. Nothing yet." Frank looked over at his brother, "you ok?" Joe looked at his brother and shot him the most deadly glare he could manage, "like you give a shit." Frank went to say something but shut his mouth. Joe turned back in Phil, "did you check the penthouse video." Phil shook his head, "no, but isn't Miller there?"
"That doesn't mean anything so just check for me." Phil gave Joe the thumbs up and turned back to the computer. Chet motioned Joe to follow him and they slipped into the backyard.
"Joe, are you really okay?" Chet was worried about his friend. Everyone was under so much stress. Joe sat down on the patio furniture and Chet followed sitting across from him. Joe raised his head looking at Chet. He studied his friend and noticed how drained he truly looked. He had stubble like he hadn't shaved in a while, he had more wrinkles, and it looked like he had two black eyes from lack of sleep. "My whole world and life is in an airplane flying away from me without me. How do you think I am?"
"You will get through this we all will."
"The hell I will. I have become a person I didn't even use to be. I have become Frank. Frank can't do a damn thing, he is so lost. He almost hurt my wife who is carrying my twins." Joe was getting more and more worked up with every word that passed. Chet leaned back in his chair, "Joe, you need to calm down."
"How am I supposed to be calm when my whole world has fallen apart?"
"Imagine how Frank feels." Joe was stunned that was like a slap in the face but he knew Chet was right. If Anna was in Nancy's place he would be going crazy with worry but he could never imagine turning his back on his own daughter. He understood where Frank was coming from to a certain point. Joe knew he would never go to the level Frank has taken this. "I know how he feels. I was out of my mind last year. Anna was almost killed numerous times."
Chet nodded his head, "Try to work together, the death looks aren't helping. Let's just get this over with and get along." Joe nodded in agreement and stood up walking back inside. Phil was still hacking away at the computer screens that were set up on the table. Joe looked to where Frank was sitting, "anything?" Frank shook his head without even looking at him. Joe walked into the kitchen and laid his head on the countertop. He took deep breaths and repeated to himself I am not going to have a breakdown. He hoped that his wife was handling everything better than him.
Anna looked at Kendall and Elizabeth who were fast asleep. She sighed. It had taken all of them about two hours to get Kendall settled. She kept crying for her da da and it broke Anna's heart. Laura had to take over because Anna started crying along with her. Biff took a seat behind Anna startling her out of her thoughts, "hey, how you holding up?"
Anna looked over at Biff. She was red and puffy her eyes and face. She had tear streak lines still seeable on her face. "I wish this was all a bad dream." Biff nodded, "I can understand that." Anna sighed and looked at her hands. She felt like her heart had been ripped out. She was scared she was never going to see her husband again. "Anna, please try to stay calm. You are pregnant. Please don't give us anymore scares."
Anna managed to give him a small smile, "I will try. Where are we staying at in London?" Biff smiled and pulled an envelope out of his jacket pocket and handed it to her, "that's why I came over here. I was told to give you this. If you need to talk or need me I am here for you. So is George. You are family."
Anna took the envelope and noticed Joe's handwriting on the front. She felt the tears falling again from her eyes. Biff squeezed her arm, "I will give you privacy. I will be just across from you. I mean it, I am here for you." Anna nodded, "thank you Biff. We couldn't ask for a better or more loyal friend," He gave her hand a squeezed and went back across to where George was.
Anna turned the envelope in her hands starting at it for a minute. She slowly opened it, it was a letter and photos. Anna glanced at the photos of a furnished apartment she was guessing. She began to read the letter.
Baby,
This means you are flying in the air. I love you and miss you so much. Don't worry we will be together again soon. I know how hard this is for you and Kendall. It's hard on me too. We will get through this together as a family. I'm sure you are wondering what the pictures areā¦
I got us a flat in London, well technically more of a town house. It has plenty of room, 5 bedrooms. We can always redecorate if you want. I hope you love it, it has everything. A swimming pool, gym, sauna take advantage and relax. It seemed liked a wonderful relaxing place that is why I got it. I need you to stay calm and relax.
When this is over, we will take a long vacation, holiday as they say over there. I can't wait for us to make memories there. I hope you love it. It's in Kensington and I maybe spent a little too much of our money but it was well worth it.
I love you so much baby. I will be with you soon. Kissing you all over and holding you. Give Kendall my love and kisses. Tell me unborn babies I love them. I will stay safe for you, us, our family. Don't stress or worry. Biff promised he would keep an eye on you, take advantage of him and George.
I love you so much.
Xoxo yours always,
Joe
Anna took a deep breath, her wonderful husband thought of everything. God she missed him. She prayed that this bomb was found and unarmed soon. Anna looked up at Biff who had a sleeping George on his shoulder, he looked worried. She gave him a small smile to indicate she was okay. He nodded and smiled.
Nancy was beyond scared. She didn't know what to do but she had to stay calm. She was in a van in the parking garage at Grant Enterprises. She had to get out of here. They would never find her or the bomb here. She glanced down at the bomb that was strapped to her. She quickly checked the door to make sure no triggers was on it.
Nancy slowly opened the door and glanced around the garage. The pricks just dropped her off and left her knowing that regardless of what she did, she would die along with other people. She had to find security camera to wave in front of maybe they would notice who she is.
