Holly stayed quiet the whole ride pretending to be out of it. She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous but she truly did trust Duke and she knew he wanted to get back to Anna. She also knew in her heart that this had to end.
Duke knew he would do everything in his power to get Holly back to Robert and himself back to Anna. When he reached their destination he pulled into where he was told to and got out of the car. Carefully he got Holly out and whispered. "Nothing's gonna happen." He hated the thought of taking her to Diane but knew for their plan to work he had to.
When they appeared at the door Diane grinned, seeing what appeared to be a knocked out Holly in Duke's arms. "Perfect! You did good, set her over there and I'll take care of her." Diane had a lot of plans but had to figure out what to settle on. She knew she was definitely going to torture Robert in one way or another. "Did anyone see you?"
Duke shook her head as he sat Holly down. "No. I did as I was told."
Diane walked over to Holly, still dressed in what she wore to celebrate Thanksgiving. She was supposed to be spending it with Robert not Holly. "Pathetic isn't she?"
Duke had to bite his tongue, he wanted to tell Diane how pathetic she was but knew that he had to go with the plan. "I don't know much about her. I can't comment."
Holly was awake hearing all this but stayed quiet.
Duke had a wire on him, he knew if he got caught he would be in for a world of hurt but putting it on Holly would have been more dangerous.
Diane got down, she wanted to wake Holly up and gloat about having her. "Holly?"
Holly laid there acting as if she was out of it. She couldn't just wake up, that would look too fake. She also didn't want to deal with Diane.
"You did a good job knocking her out." Diane looked at Holly's ring that Robert gave back to her. She took it off of her finger.
It took everything in him to not grab it back but Duke stuck to the plan. "What do you need with that?" He asked.
"Oh nothing, I just don't want her to have it." Diane gave a gleeful laugh as she went and sat down.
Robert and Ethan
Robert heard the whole exchange and knew exactly what she had taken. "That bitch." He muttered. He had called Dante and asked him to come on his own, they needed as few people there as possible to ensure Holly and Duke's safety.
"Robert I am really worried she might hurt mum." Ethan couldn't help it. She shot him without hesitation, he had faith in Duke but still didn't like this.
"I got a plan." Robert started to explain it to Ethan.
Holly, Duke and Diane
Holly pretended to start to stir. "Robert?" She quietly said as she opened her eyes.
"Guess again." Diane grinned at her, holding her ring in her hand.
"Diane? Where am I? What have you done?" Holly asked as she sat up, pretending as if her head hurt.
"Oh don't worry about that. See I need the ultimate revenge on Robert, especially after what you two did to me." Diane was playing the victim, it was about her pain and not what she had inflicted on Robert and Holly over the years.
"I beg your pardon? What WE did to YOU?" Holly wasn't going to sit back and take that.
Robert and Ethan
"Oh no. We got to get in there." Robert knew Holly's temper and knew that statement struck a nerve. Robert and Ethan filled Annie and Anna in and the four set their plan into action. They knew they had to be careful but also knew that Holly could be in danger and that Duke could also.
Holly, Duke and Diane
"You made a fool of me, I'm really tired of Scorpio and his little con." Diane rolled her eyes, she tossed the wedding ring on the table.
Duke could see the fire in Holly's eyes and knew there was nothing he could do to stop this.
