72 hours earlier
Gillian was in her office at the Lightman Group. It was late and no one was around. She was finishing up some budget reports when the Beatles song 'I Saw Her Standing There' came on. She smiled and started tapping her finger on the binder. She got up to put her reports away when she started to dance. She swayed her hips to the music.
Cal was about to leave when he heard a Beatles song come on from Gillian's office. "Why is she still here?" He said but he smiled. He went to her office and his smile got bigger once he saw her dancing. She was turned around so she couldn't see him. He opened the door as quietly as he could. He stood there staring at her ass in one of those tight dresses. He crossed his arms and waited for her to discover him watching her.
Gillian was off in own world. Then she turned around and jumped when she saw Cal. He was standing there with a smug look. "Having fun, Luv?"
She looked down in embarrassment but she walked over to Cal and punched him in the shoulder. "You jerk! You should have announced that you were coming into my office." She punched him again in his shoulder.
He backed away and said, "Truce. Let me make it up to you. Let's dance." Before she could say no, he had grabbed her and started swaying to the fast music. Before she knew it, he was twirling her around and they were having a great time. When the song was finished he dipped her and pulled her back up. They were standing very close to each other.
Gillian was the first to back away. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "Wow, I never knew you could dance. That was a lot of fun."She returned to her desk to put more folders up.
He looked at her with shinning eyes when he said, "You weren't bad yourself, Luv. Maybe we should go out dancing sometime."
Gillian laughed and sarcastically said, "Yeah, okay Cal. It's a date." Just then her office phone rang. She picked it up and said, "Hello. Oh, hi Ben! Yeah I am still in the office. Yes Cal is here too. Okay, we will see you in a bit. Bye." She hung up the phone and turned to Cal and said, "It looks like we will be working late. I think Ben has a new case for us."
"Well there goes our dancing plan, yeah?" Cal said sitting down.
Gillian laughed and said, "Ben will be here in about five minutes. Do you think we can go out dancing for five minutes?"
"Nah, it will take you five minutes to get warmed up. Rain check?" Cal asked.
Gillian nodded and she went back to her reports. Cal got out some papers from his briefcase and started to read over them.
Ben knocked on the door a couple minutes later and came into Gillian's office. "Hey guys, thanks for staying this late. I just got this case, literally seven minutes ago." He sat down in the chair next to Cal.
Gillian looked up and said, "Its okay, Ben. What do you need?"
Ben took a deep breath and said, "Well, no one can know about this case. Not even Ria, Loker or Emily, okay?" They both nodded and he went on, "Well I got a call from Scotland Yard, from my pal Richard. They have been stumped on a case for about a month now." He turned to Cal and asked, "Do you know about the Alpha Omega Club?"
Cal straightened up and said, "It is said to be the oldest club in London. It is very private and very exclusive. All I know about them is that they have this funny philosophy that they will be the last club standing. Hence, Alpha, the beginning and Omega, the end."
Ben nodded, "Yeah that club. Well there have been five kidnappings from there in the last month. Four, of which, have turned up dead. The only thing these five men have in common is that they belong to the Alpha Omega Club. Now Scotland Yard thinks that it is someone in the club, but they aren't sure who it is. The only thing left at the crime scene is a note on gold paper to the spouse, which is signed 'To London, with Love'." Ben took a deep breath and said, "This is where you come in. Since the F.B.I. knows that you know your way around London, they want to put you in as a mole."
Cal started to get angry, "Why is the F.B.I. involved. It's Scotland Yard's problem, let them handle it."
Ben looked into Cal's eyes and said, "The last person they kidnapped was an American. He had dual citizenship between here and England. They need your help. They are holding out for the best but it has been 48 hours since the kidnapping. They don't think he has survived."
"Well how am I even going to get in? We are certainly not that rich enough to get in." Cal said.
Ben said, "The president of the club has been cooperating with Scotland Yard. He wants to get these people caught. So, he has set up a dummy account for someone to come in and catch the guys behind these killings."
No one said anything for a couple of minutes. Then Gillian said, "Ben, how safe is Cal going to be? He could be walking into a trap." She looked at Cal very worried.
Ben looked at Gillian and said, "He will be protected at all times. I will be there along with help from Scotland Yard. We can protect you." He added looking at Cal.
Cal nodded and said, "It looks like I am going home, yeah? I better go pack and I need to tell Emily."
Ben stood up holding up his hand to stop Cal from walking off. "First off, you can't tell Emily where you are going or why. Second off, you will need a wife so we are also sending Gillian to go with you."
Cal started to get angry again, "There is no bloody way that you are sending in Gillian with me. What if she gets hurt? No, Gillian you are not coming along and that is final."
Now Gillian stood up angrily, "You cannot tell me what to do Cal. If they need someone to go with you then it should be me. No one knows you better than me. Or that can live with your bubbling personality. And plus, obviously the decision has been made to take me since Ben is in here talking to both of us and not just you."
Cal turned to a guilty looking Ben and said, "You made a decision about my team and you didn't consult me. Then, no we will not take on the case. You can pick someone else to do your work."
Gillian walked around her desk and whispered to Cal, "It's a done deal. You are the best at what you do. We are a team, Cal. Let's work as a team." He only looked at her but then he nodded. "Hey look at the bright side, I have never been to England and I have the best tour guide!"
Cal laughed a little and then looked at Ben, "When do we have to leave?"
Ben looked down at his watch and said, "You leave from Dulles Airport in about three hours and you will arrive at Heathrow Airport around 11:00 am. Now what names do you want on your passports and I.D's?"
Gillian stood up and said, "Can I be Eleanor Rigby? That will be awesome!" She looked at Cal, "What? I am on this Beatles kick, okay?" She rolled her eyes.
Cal looked at her with a silly look on his face. "Of course you can't be Eleanor Rigby. That will give you away in a matter of seconds. How about we become Steven and Jules Rigby? How does that sound?"
Gillian thought for a second and said, "That will do. But I still think Eleanor Rigby is cool!" She smiled and Cal had no choice but to laugh.
"Alright Steven and Jules Rigby, get to packing and I will meet you at Dulles. I will have you fake I.D.'s and all of your information." Ben said getting up and exiting the door.
Gillian got her purse and walked out with Cal. "What do you think I should bring?"
What did you think??? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Next chapter will hopefully be up tomorrow!
