Thank you all so much for the reviews. Y'all are awesome. I appreciate each one of you.

As we left chapter 30 Ana and Christian were in the car and they were on their way home and told them the good news about Chester and Clyde accepting a job from her. They will be going down to Charleston in the morning. Just Ana, Christian, the security and the guys going to work for her. A little alone time for them.

They are at home and everyone is ready for a night cap.

Would anyone like coffee or maybe a glass of wine?"

"A glass of wine would be wonderful love."

"Coming right up my love."

Ana and Gail brings the glasses of wine out to everyone

"So you are going to have two new people working for you?"

"Yes Elliot I am. I wasn't sure they would accept but I am so glad they did. They surprised me they have been cooks for so long at the Giant Crab I was afraid they would turn me down,"

"Now come on none of that. You are an amazing employer and your employees love you. We know this from the time we spent with you at each plant."

"Thank you gran."

"I do the best I can with my employees. I try to provide the best pay package I can with free insurance not just for them but their family also."

"See that is what I am talking about, you care about your employees."

"Yes I do. I believe if they are happy with their job they will stay with me and the benefits are great."

"That is what I mean, you care for them not just as an employee but as a person."

"Yes, I do."

"So I don't see any problems with the twins wanting to say no to you after they see the plant. You do what you need to do and we will be here when you all get back."

"Thank you all. I just hate to leave you all like this."

"Annie, it will be fine. Honey, you are giving two wonderful men a chance of a lifetime to make better money and have more benefits than they are getting at the Giant Crab even though they have been there for years. You are starting them out with insurance and a wonderful pay package. They will do fine and so will you. So don't worry about us, we will be fine.

If we get bored we will have Taylor make private reservations for us somewhere or we will just enjoy staying home and relaxing."

"Are you all sure?"

"For the last time we are sure."

"Ok geez I got it."

"Well I am going to pack my overnight bag and Christian would you like a walk on the beach? There is a full moon and it is gorgeous."

"Yes my love I would like to walk on the beach with you. Gail will pack my overnight bag."

"Um excuse me Mr. Grey, Gail will not pack your bag. They are on vacation the same as us. You can pack a shirt and shorts, swim shorts and underwear I believe can't you? Oh don't forget your soap. shampoo and whatever else you need toiletries."

"Yes Ana I can. I am just used to Gail doing it for me."

"Really Christian Gail packs your bags for you when you go on a trip or stay overnight somewhere?"

"Yes Ana she does. She has always done it for me."

"Who did it before Gail?"

"Well when I was home my mother did it if i wanted to go somewhere or the maid did it for me. Didn't they, Elliot?"

"But the only place you went to overnight was your grandparents. Why couldn't you pack a change of clothes and toiletries for yourself? I am sure you knew how to put a shirt, shorts, pants and underwear in a bag with all the stuff you would need for I guess a weekend with the grands.

"Christian who packed your bags before Gail came to work for you?"

"Damnit Ana, Taylor did."

"Oh my God Boo that is so wrong."

Oh my goodness Christian said the wrong thing. I guess they forgot about everyone else in the room with them

"Well he was there and he did it for me. He also unpacked my bags." wrong answer CG

"What am I hearing this right?"

"Yes you are."

"Taylor, are you his butler or his CPO and the one in charge of him?"

"Yes Ana I am his CPO and in charge of him and I helped him when the need called for it."

"Well as a CPO it is not your job requirements to put his drawers in his dresser. It is his."

"Yes Ana I know this."

"Then why the hell do you do it for him? He is capable of putting his own clothes away if he is on a trip."

"Yes I know that but if he asked me too I will do it for him."

"Oh for pity's sake. Are you just plain lazy Christian ?"

"Bro she has you there."

"Shut up Elliot, no one asked for your comment."

"Ok Boo, no reason to get mad."

"Well stop with the hundred questions please."

" I am just trying to establish why you don't pack your own bags. I pack mine and unpack them. I do not want Davidson to see my bra and panties. I don't want any of my security to see them, much less put away my dresses and tops and shoes."

"That is my place, not our security. They are there for our protection not as our butlers and Mrs. Jones is not there to pack you an overnight bag. Her qualifications is cook, clean do laundry and household manager not pack Christain's clothes or bags."

Christian is getting pissed because Ana continues to ask him questions

"Are you done now? If you are, I am going to my room and pack my overnight bag."

"Goodnight Boo see you in the morning at seven o'clock and I will have coffee ready to go."

"See you in the morning, goodnight love."

He walks over to her and kisses her temple

"Goodnight love you."

"Goodnight y'all I guess I am going to bed. No walk on the beach it seems like I pissed off Mr. Grey. I love y'all. If I don't see you all before we leave I will call and let y'all know we made it safely."

"Night Annie don't be so hard on him he is learning."

"Yeah well maybe I can teach him a few things about life and how to treat people and take care of himself. I am not going to do it for him. He never had anyone to show him the right way when he was growing up.

I don't mean anything by this Elliot but your so-called parents were privileged and so where y'all. You didn't do housework, wash dishes or your own clothes. Never cleaned house.

"No Ana we never had to, we had a maid and a cook and as far as I can remember we always have."

So I understand why he is the way he is. But damn sometimes you gotta help yourself and that man doesn't know how to do that."

She walks off up to her room and changes out of her clothes and puts on a pair of shorts and t-shirt and goes to bed

Morning comes early. Time to shower and get coffee and get on the road. She walks into the kitchen and sees Christian and the guys talking and drinking coffee

"Good morning y'all any coffee left for me?"

"Good morning love here you go just like you like it."

"Thank you Boo, are we ready to go? I know how traffic can be on a Monday morning."

"Yes Ana, we are ready. Just waiting on you. Give me your bag and I will put it in the car with ours."

"Dav I forgot to ask you but I need you to email the guys to let them know that there will be a grocery pickup for both condos. Same as before but I added a few more things. They should have tags on them which goes to what condo."

"Yes ma'am I will text them before we leave. Do I need to make a food order for the apartments in Charleston?"

"Yes' cause I am going to cook tonight and cook breakfast in the morning. Just order for my apartment and y'alls if there is something else you all would like to have you know. Snacks, drinks, water, coffee, whatever is fine."

"I will text the order to you and you can order it while Sawyer and I go and get Chester and Clyde."

"Alright, we should be at their house in about twenty minutes."

"Boo are you alright? Are you still upset with me about last night? I am sorry if you are, I apologize for hurting your feelings."

"No Ana I am alright. I was just waiting until you finished talking to Dav so I could give you a good morning kiss."

Christian leans over the seat and kisses her softly on the lips and she kisses him back

"Now that is better and you are smiling Boo. I love you."

"I love you to my angel."

"Ana we are here. Man, they have a nice place."

"Oh my goodness yes they do. Look at that fountain, isn't it gorgeous? The house is very pretty. You wouldn't expect two bachelors to live here. It is quaint and lovely. I think this is where Chester lived when his wife was alive."

"Come on Sawyer, let's go and get the boys."

"Yes ma'am let me open your door please."

Sawyer opens his door and then opens Ana's and they walk up the gravel walkway to the front door

Ana knocks on the door and it opens with both the guys standing there

"Good morning y'all are you ready for this new adventure you are fixin to embark on with me?"

"Oh Ms. Ana more than anything in the world. It will be nice to get out of here. We are keeping the house so when we come home for vacations or get home sick it will be here."

"Oh I don't blame you a bit I would too. It is such a lovely home and I love the fountain out front."

"Thank you ma'am my Trudy had me buy it for her three years before she lost her life to cancer. This was our home for almost twenty years. Everything you see has her handprints all over it."

"Sorry for your loss and yes it is a lovely home. She loved everything she did to this home. You can see the love all around you from the fountain to the flowers and the hanging porch swing. I love it."

"Thank you Ms. Ana for saying all that. Yes she did."

"Alright gentlemen shall we go? Where are your bags? Please give them to Sawyer and he will put them in the back."

They are on their way and the ride isn't that long, just a few hours. They have time to talk some about the company and what she is going to offer them

"Alright now Chester and Clyde I have some papers here I would like you to look over on the way down to Charleston. They are just telling you your new job descriptions and what I will be offering both of you. It is the same job but in two different buildings. I want you Chester in my baby food plant and Clyde I would like for you to be in the Juice plant."

"Ms. Ana this is way more than we deserve."

"No it is not. You deserve everything I am offering you both. Just read it and if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them. I have looked at both of your resumes and they are outstanding. You both are qualified for these jobs."

"Gentlemen, how long have you both been in the food industry?"

"Mr. Grey, we have both been doing this kind of work for close to thirty years now. From busboy to dishwasher, cashier, server. I was a manager for twelve years at a big truck stop here on ninety-five until they shut the doors. When I started at the Giant Crab I was the chef and then later was promoted to Executive Chef. I have been at the Giant Crab for ten years."

"Wow yes you are more than qualified to work for Ana. How about you Clyde?"

"Mr. Grey, I did basically the same as Chester. I started to work at a fast food chain for five years. Then I went to work with Chester at the truck stop for nine years as his assistant manager. Now I've been head chef at the Giant Crab for the last eight years."

"Guys you both are very qualified to work for Ana or anywhere as far as that goes. Hell I would offer you both a job at my restaurant but Ana has beat me to it."

"Mr. Grey, that's mighty kind of you but we will stay in the south. Might visit sometime. "

"You both are more than welcome. I am moving out of my penthouse and into my home on the sound. I have plenty of room for friends and a large guest house. Ana has a lovely home too."

"Thank you for the invite. We might take you up on that sometime during summer, not in the winter. I know it rains a lot there but hey I love walking in the rain."

They all laugh at walking in the rain

They arrive at the apartments that belong to Ana. The guys get their bags and follow Sawyer to the elevator and they all get on and go up to the twentieth floor. The elevator opens to a lovely view of the beach. The whole back wall of the apartment building is made of glass and beautiful granite

"Oh my lord look at that view Chester? It is amazing."

"Have mercy on my soul, yes it is. Ms. Ana I can't wait to see the apartments if the hall looks like this."

"Come along guys I will show you. I have mine here number twenty-three. The other two will be y'alls if you like them twenty-one and twenty-two. Now you don't have to accept them, you can live anywhere you like. I just thought you both might like the view here you are right on the beach."

"I am anxious to see Ms. Ana."

They walk down the hall and stop at twenty-one and Dav presses a few buttons and the doors open into a spacious living room with a very expensive chrome and glass chandelier hanging in the middle of the room.

They walk in and see two very nice comfortable couches facing eaching other in light blue with throw pillows on them in blues and beige colors with a hint of pink and violet. There is a large coffee table in the middle made out of mahogany and has a top coat of clear to make it shine.

They walk into the kitchen and it is a dream kitchen. It has every appliance you cook ever hoped for. The bar seats six and over to the left of the bar is the dining room with a table for twelve also in mahogany.

Walking back into the living room Ana walks over and presses a button on the wall and the drapes open to reveal the most spectacular view you have ever seen.

"Guys come look and tell me what you think?"

"Oh my goodness Ms. Ana it is like being at home. Thank you so much. Yes I will take this and I know Clyde will take the other one."

"Hey y'all haven't seen it all yet. There are three bedrooms, each bedroom has an ensuite and there is a half bath in the hall to your right for guests. The hall closet is over here for coats and things.

Come on, let me show you the bedrooms. The master bedroom is the biggest with a large walk-in-closet that goes right into the bathroom. You have a balcony if you would like to sit outside. There are chairs and a chaise lounge out there with end tables and a small fridge for you."

"Ms. Ana we are sold, we don't see anymore. Do we Clyde? Well we could look at your apartment if you want too?"

"No, if it looks like this I am happy with it."

"Yes Clyde it is just like this one. The color is different. Where this is in pale blues, beiges and violets yours is in creams, light yellows and bits of oranges. Would you like to see it?"

"No ma'am I like those colors they bring the sunshine in."

"Now guys if there is anything you don't like just tell me and I will change it. The places are furnished but if you want your own furniture we can move this out and change the colors whatever y'all want this is your home.

The couple that lived here before asked if they could change the color scheme and I told them they could. That's why it's this color. All the bedding, mattresses and linens and cookware are all new. The couches are new they had a few parties and spilt something on them and they had to be replaced

"No ma'am let's leave them as they are. We might bring some things with us but not the furniture that will stay at home."

"Alright then if y'all are satisfied let's go to my plant it's only twenty minutes from here?"

"Alright, we are looking forward to seeing it. I know the pictures online don't do it justice. Yes, we have been looking at them."

"Ok guys, let's go times a wastin."

They all walk back to the front door and to the elevator.

Oh their way to the baby food plant. The guys are excited you can see them looking around

They pull up to the private entrance gate for Ana and her office personnel and Dav swipes a card for them to go through

"Guys this will be where you will park. It's for my office personnel on the property. This entrance will be for y'all, managers and assistant cooks."

"Wow this place is huge and you have three buildings here?"

"Yes the one you are looking at is where the baby food meats and vegetables are prepared. After we park you will be able to see the glass and plastic plants. The glass jar section is in the back and where they prepare the juice and desserts will be in the front. I will walk you through there after I show Chester where I would like for him to work."

"Chester you will meet a wonderful, sweet lady. Her name is Mrs. Adams. She is the supervisor for the meat and vegetables department here and Mrs. Dickson does the soups and prepares them for the vegetables. Like vegetable soup only condensed.

Chester you will be the executive chef here over all three sections. Do you think you will like it? Come on, let me show the kitchen departments. They all have state of the art appliances, everything you could ever dream of having."

"Lead on Ms. Ana."

They walk into the kitchen and Chesters eyes get big as saucers. He is in food kitchen heaven

"Oh my goodness Ms. Ana this is a cook's dream. Look at all those shiny appliances and those bowls and dishes. The floor is so clean you could eat off of it. I am in heaven."

"Ana, I believe you have sold Chester on this job."

"I think so too Christian."

"Let's go meet Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Dickson, bless her heart, has finally taken a vacation. She will be here when you start. By the way, did you give your boss a two week notice or longer? Either way is fine."

"I gave a two week notice, that is all he asked for. He said they would miss me but I needed to go where it benefited me the most. He was sad to see me leave."

"Yes I am sure you will be greatly missed. But I am so glad to have you working for me."

They walk over to a little lady and as she turns around she is surprised to see Ana again so soon

"Lordy, are my eyes deceiving me? Chil what in the world are you doing back here? Oh please tell me this is our new executive chef? You know we need one desperately since you fired that no good Alfred."

They all laugh at what she is saying and throwing her hands in the air

"Hello Mrs. Adams yes this Chester Patterson and his brother Clyde. They are both starting here in two weeks. Chester will be over this plant as executive chef and Clyde will be over the juice and dessert department."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Adams." they both say

"Well it is a pleasure to meet you both gentlemen."

"Ms. Ana, this is like a dream come true. I have always wanted to work in a food plant and now I have a chance too. Thank you so much."

They all laugh

"I take that as a yes Chester?"

"Oh yes ma'am definitely."

"Alright then let's go see the departments that Clyde will be over. Guys, we will come back and meet the floor managers in a little while. They knew we were coming. I let them know last night. They are looking forward to meeting you both."

As the walk to the middle of the plant she sees her managers

"Hey y'all I need a few minutes to introduce you to our new executive chefs."

"Come on in all of you. Yes Mr. Grey you and Davidson join us"

"Thank you Devon." they both say

"Chester and Clyde Patterson, they are brothers. Chester will be over this plant here and Clyde will oversee the juice and dessert department."

"Guys this is Casey Brown, Devon Shaw and Tracey Fields. They make sure that everything is running smoothly and have all the products you will need. They will ask for your input on how your team is working and how the production is going and if there are any improvements you would like to implement to make everything run better."

"Hello I am Casey. Nice to meet you both. We are pleased to have you here. When Ana called and told us last night about you two we couldn't wait to meet y'all."

Hello I am Tracey. Nice to meet you both."

"Hello guys I am Devon. Very nice to have you on board."

"Thank you all so much for having us." they both say shaking hands with all of them

"Guys I need to speak with my managers for a few minutes. Chester, you and Clyde take a seat in the waiting room for a few moments please."

Chester and Clyde walk out the office and Dav shuts the door

"Alright y'all give it to me straight? What kind of problems are we having since I fired Alfred three weeks ago?"

Christian looks at her but doesn't say anything

"Well he has been trying to get through security and guards stop him every time and tell him he has no business here. We have called the law on him several times but before they get here he has driven off."

"Devon what are they going to do? Have they checked his house?"

"Yes Ana they have quite a few times with a warrant for his arrest for theft but he is never there. We see him on CCTV footage but no one can catch him. He has vandalized the back of the glass plant and tried to tear the gate down."

"Damn what are we going to do? Hell, I fired him cause he wasn't doing his job. He was late coming in and he always was causing trouble with the employees especially the ladies. This started about three months ago. I let it go until he got so bad that he would come in and start bitching and throwing things that the last time was enough for me."

"Ana, may I say something?"

"Of course Christian any help is appreciated."

"What if I got Welch and Barney to look into this situation. I know you have your resources but another pair of eyes or two won't hurt will they? Besides, you are still tied up with my company and I don't want you spreading yourself too thin. You have enough to worry about."

"Ana, he does have a point. He can get his guys on it from Seattle and keep you posted. We can add some more state of the art cameras and he won't know where they are if he comes back here. That way he can't avoid not being seen."

"What do you all think? I know we need to find him and if this will help I am all for it."

"I agree with Mr. Grey and Davidson. We need more security down here now for all these new cameras we are going to install. The security office is large enough to have at least ten guys watching the cameras and have a few scattered around as workers in all the plants."

"Devon, that is a great idea. I will need to hire more security guys. We are also going to put a security office in the glass and plastic plants. You never know what could happen."

"I'm sorry Christian I wasn't ignoring you I was just in my head about what to do. Yes please get the guys on this man ASAP. His name is Alfred Mason. Guys can call give Christian the file on him so he can send the information and his picture to them?"

"Here you go Mr. Grey already got it for you. I knew she would do it. Ana is an amazing boss and friend."

"Thank you Tracey. I appreciate that and yes she is."

"Alright Dav, call Sawyer in here to go with us to the other plants and have security to stand guard at the front and back entrances. I want you to liaise with Christian's guys while we are gone."

"Yes ma'am I will contact them now. Guys, can I use the other office?"

"Yes Davidson, come with me."

Dav follows Tracey out of the office

"Devon we will be back in a little while."

"Alright see y'all later."

"Christian we will talk about this once we are back at my apartment."

"Of course Ana not a problem I understand completely love."

They walk out of the office and walk over to the guys

"ALright guys come on let me show you where you will be working Clyde. Now anytime you have to go back to the glass section you must wear safety glasses and a hard hat. That is for all my employees."

"Yes Ms. Ana I sure will."

They walk out the door and go to the plant's front entrance. They walk yo right of the yellow line until they come up to two big doors and they open automatically

"Wow Clyde this place is huge. Lordy I smell some grape juice, orange juice and is that pineapple and banana juice Ms. Ana mixed together?"

"Yes it is. Wow you have a nose for smell. Not too many can get that combination as fast as you did."

"Yeah well I helped our mama in the kitchen a lot and figured out the spices she was using when I was seven years old."

"Damn you just lived and grew up in the kitchen."

"Yes Mr. Grey I surely did."

"Clyde, what about you?"

"Oh I was always around my grandma helping her in the garden and she always let me mix the cake batter and make the cookies and stuff."

"Wow that is awesome guys. I wish I had that growing up but Ana is teaching me how to cook."

"That's great, all men at one time or another need to know how to prepare at least two meals. Breakfast and supper."

"Yes I am learning that."

"Ana, Dav said you needed me with you all?"

"Yes Dav is handling some security issues for me. Thank you for coming."

"Come on y'all now that we have Sawyer with us."

Clyde this is the juice section and over here to your right is the fruits and spices section. They have made my cinnamon rolls dessert and I want you all to try them. Christian you and Sawyer have had my cinnamon rolls. Now try this dessert and tell me what you think?"

They all got spoon and tasted the cinnamon rolls dessert

"Jesus Ana this is as good as your cinnamon rolls."

"Yes ma'am so good."

"Ms. Ana, what did you put in this recipe?"

"Clyde it is all on the IPad over at your desk."

"In other words Clyde we are not supposed to know."

"So true Sawyer."

They all laugh

"Come let me introduce you to our supervisor."

"Mrs. Beck, I would like you to meet our new executive chef Clyde Patterson and his brother Chester."

"Ms. Ana, lovely to see you. Hello there, nice to meet you."

"A pleasure Mrs. Beck. I look forward to working with you ma'am."

"Nice to meet you ma'am."

"Mrs. Beck, my boyfriend Christian Grey and our security Sawyer."

"Very nice to meet you Mrs. Beck."

"Nice to meet you ma'am."

"Nice to meet you gentlemen."

"Mrs Beck, I'm going to show the guys around. Clyde will be joining us in two weeks."

"Can't wait to have someone who knows what he is doing. Janie is good but needs to work somewhere other than here in the kitchen. I am sorry Ms. Ana but she has gotten lazy and sits all the time."

"That's alright Mrs. Beck, I will have it taken care of before we leave today."

"Thank you ma'am."

"My pleasure Mrs. Beck, we will see you before we leave."

They walk toward the back of the plant to another set of double doors and they open automatically

"Gentlemen here are the safety glasses and hard hats please put them on and walk to the right of the yellow line for safety."

They all the safety gear on and walk into the glass section

"This will be a quick tour. Basically because you will not be back here unless they are running short on baby glass jars. All you have to do is pickup the phone and dial three and the manager will pick up your call."

"This section over here is where we store the glass jars. Some are small, others are the larger size for older and hungrier babies. These blue bins here hold the large jars and the red bins hold the small ones."

"These doors back here are where we store the pallets until we need to use them. We have sticky sheets over here to the left in these bins for labeling the jars and bottles."

They walk around to the side and she shows them where the forklifts are kept and the batteries for them unless they use fuel

"Ms. Ana, are we going to have to learn how to drive one of these machines?"

"No, no, that is not part of your job description."

"Thank you sweet Jesus I would probably tear the wall down trying to drive one of them."

Clyde started laughing and everyone joined him

"Rest assured that won't happen guys."

"As Clyde said thank you sweet Jesus."

"Let's go see the plastic plant and keep your safety gear on at all times. When we go through the double doors please stay to the right of the yellow line as you did earlier please for safety."

They walk to the double doors and Sawyer opens them for everyone to walk through after he takes a look around

"Christian, Sawyer when we were here Friday night y'all didn't get to see anything but the third floor where Quality Control is. Come on let me show y'all where everything is."

"They walk to the another set of double doors and Sawyer opens them for everyone to walk through as he did before

"This floor here is where we keep the preformed plastic in overhead bins to the right. This is where they load the plastic that will be made into bottles. Over here to the left is a long conveyor belt that goes up and around to the place where they take bottles off and put the juice in them and see that belt over there to the far right?

That is where the bottles will come down when they are filled and ready to be packaged in the boxes that the employees have on hand beside them."

"Ms. Ana I am not trying to be nosy but will you tell us how to come to the decision to open your own business and have these wonderful plants?"

"Oh that's easy guys. I started in the basement of our home when I was nine years old. We lived in Washington, DC daddy worked for the president and I wanted to experiment with different foods. My wonderful daddy made me a state of the art kitchen down there and I went to work perfecting my recipes I already had.

"My grandmomma taught me how to cook some and she gave me a lot of her recipes. To make a long story for now. The president's wife had a baby and she knew I was making foods like vegetables and different fruits. She asked me to try and make some baby food for her baby. So I did and word of mouth got around and then I went on live tv two different cooking show networks and made food on there.

"Then daddy and I had to leave for Texas because my grandfather and uncle were killed in a plane crash. After that we moved back to Bellevue and I continued school and graduated high school and college early and decided to travel for a while. Then after going around to different restaurants and cafes I decided this is what I wanted to do and now I am living my dream."

"That is an amazing story Ms. Ana, thank you for sharing it with all of us."

"My pleasure guys. Now let's go see if anyone is in the Quality Control room before we leave? Maybe Terrie is testing. Have you guys ever seen someone heat plastic and blow to form a vase or glass before? It's called blow molding."

"Yes, one time we went to the mountains and saw the exhibit for glass blowing at the state fair there. It was pretty amazing to watch. I was fascinated by it."

"Well then you know basically what they do here? Well kind of the process is different she will pull and stretch the plastic to see if it has bubbles or tears in it and no lines. I hope she is in there. If not, you can watch her another time."

They walk to the double set of windows but they don't see anyone in there

"Well maybe another time you will get to see her work."

Christian sees Sawyer on the phone and he doesn't seem pleased with whoever is talking to him

"Ana the guy you fired is trying to get on the property and he is ramming the front gate with his truck. Dav said he is pretty messed up. He is calling the security and nine-one-one as we speak. He says you all need to stay inside until he either leaves or the cops get here. Hopefully the cops will be here soon."

"Damn that's all I need is for a disgruntled ex-employee to start trouble."

"Why do you have an ex-employee that is mad?"

"Well he wouldn't do his job, he started coming in late and not wanting to work. All he had to do was make everything up to speed and keep an eye on everyone. He didn't and his job was in jeopardy. He had been verbally warned, written up twice and then he just didn't care. So I had no choice but to fire him."

"I understand that but if you don't want to work, leave so someone else that does can have a job. They are hard to come by."

"Yes Chester they sure are."

"Sawyer, any word from Dav about what is going on outside?"

"Just that he is still there ramming the gate and swearing like a sailor wanting to see you. He says he knows you are here."

"How the hell does he know that?"

"I don't know Ana unless he has been watching for you to come to the plant."

"Well hellfire he must be spying on me or he had someone here tell him we are here."

She shakes her head and starts for the door

"No Ana, you are not going out there. He is dangerous, you heard what he told Sawyer."

"Do you know if he had any friends that work here or anyone he was kinda close to that would let him know you are here today?"

"I don't know. I was never that close to him and he always was busy when I was around up until three months ago when he started being rude and all."

"Ana, Dav just found out that one of the security guards at the gate informed him that you were here."

"Why the hell would he do that, Sawyer? Did Dav question him?"

"Yes ma'am and he is a cousin of Alfred's."

"Well I be damn. I did not know that. I didn't hire the security guards for the gates, that is why I didn't know."

"Please have Dav put one of our guys in the guard house and have him bring this cousin to the manager's office as soon as possible."

"Yes ma'am right away."

"Why would the guard do this? I know they are cousin's but I haven't done anything to him. I don't even know him. Sawyer what the hell is his name?"

"Eddie Stewart, he is twenty six years old. Married with two children a boy age seven and girl two years old. He has been a guard here at the guard house for four years."

"Well damn Dav is on the ball today. Thank you Sawyer. Let's go gentlemen I have bone to pick with Mr. Stewart."

They walk through the plant and almost have to run to keep up with Ana. She is one pissed off and mad lady. You do not want to be around her

Ana doesn't wait for Sawyer to open the doors or check before she enters. Yeah she'll hear about it later. Right now she has more important things to do

"Ana slow down love. You are going to break a leg walking that fast in those shoes. And you know you are supposed to wait for Sawyer to open the door's security protocol."

"Yes I know and I am sorry but I am not in the mood to be lectured on protocol right now but I will slow down."

"Thank you Ana, please let me proceed?"

"Yes of course."

"Alright let's go, the coast is clear."

As they make their way out of the plastic plant there is a loud boom and the whole building shakes

"What the hell was that? Somebody better talk to me?"

"Sawyer what is going on? What was that? I know we don't have earthquakes here."

"Ms. Ana I don't have time to explain what is going on. All I can say is that there are bombs going off in this building and the glass building. We have to get out of here now."

Christian looks at Ana then at Sawyer and everyone takes off running for their lives

"Guys run get out of here. Straight through that door and to the right will take you out the back door and into the parking lot. Run and hide somewhere safe. We are coming."

"Ms. Ana we are not leaving without y'all."

"Yes, run, get out of here we are right behind you."

As soon as she said that another bomb went off and they all fell to the floor

"Come on love, let's go. Run guys run, we are with you."

When Ana fell she hurt her foot and can't run now. She took off her shoes and tries to run but it hurts to much

Christian picks her up over his shoulder and runs for the exit

"Put me down Boo you can't run with me on your shoulder I am too heavy. I am holding you back."

"Yes I can and I am not leaving you here. If you stay I stay. We are in this together and you are not heavy my love."

They run for all they are worth just before they get past the last door to the exit, another bomb goes off and the ceiling collapses and they run for the exit.

"What are we going to do now Sawyer? Sawyer, where are you?"

"They all made it out Boo. We are here alone. I pray everyone gets out of the buildings. Come on, let's try the lower level. I had a tornado and Hurricane shelter built on the bottom level. It is huge and has plenty of room. We have food and drinks down there. Let's hope some of the employees found their way down there or outside."

"Are you sure it is safe down there?"

"Yes Christian it is safe. It was built to withstand hundred fifty mile an hour winds and it won't collapse on us. Daddy made sure it was built like the bunkers the army and all use."

"Alright my love point the way and let's get the hell out of here."

"Ok turn to the right and go down those stairs and turn left then the next stairs …

and before she could say anything else another bomb went off and she and Christian were throwed off the stairs and hit the wall and fell

"Ana , Ana where are you? I can't see you there is no light down here. I imagine the power was knocked out. Ana damnit answer me love please?"

"Christian I am over here not sure where but my leg is wedged in between something and I can't move."

"Ok love, keep talking I will make my way to you."

As he said that a beam falls and hits him in the back

"Boo, Boo where are you? What happened, talk to me Boooo?"

"Ana I am alright."

"Don't lie to me. I hear the pain in your voice."

"I was hit by a beam in my back but I am making my way to you. Keep talking to me love."

"Christian where are you?"

"I'm coming love, keep talking to me."

They hear a god awful noise and know the roof is coming down

"Christian hurry I am scared baby please come to me."

"Ana love I am almost there if it falls we are together.'

Just as he reaches her he grabs her in his arms and the they duck their heads and the roof caves in on them

Nothing but the dust settling around them no sounds from either one not a whisper or a moan

Meanwhile outside they have arrested Alfred and his cousin for attempted murder. No one knows how many are in there and no one knows where Ana and Christian are

Dav looks up and sees people running

"Chester, Clyde, where are Ana, Christian and Sawyer?"

"We don't know Ana told us to told them we were not leaving them. Ms. Ana told us they were right behind us. The first threw us all to the floor and Ms. Ana hurt her foot and took her shoes off but couldn't walk so Mr. Grey put her over his shoulder and was carrying her out. The last time we saw them was as they were trying to make it to the door but the ceiling started falling as another bomb went off. That's the last we saw of them."

"Where is Sawyer, did he make it out?"

"He was right behind us but I don't know where he is now. He might not have made it out the exit he was closer than Ms. Ana and Mr. Christian were."

"Oh my god in heaven look there Mr. Dav."

"Oh dear lord no please no."

Sorry for the cliffhanger…don't worry the next chapter will be up tomorrow.

Thank you for the reviews they mean the world to me
