AN: This is part 3 of my Imagination Station. Thank you all for the reviews and love. Y'all are awesome and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Couldn't do this without you all.
These chapters ring true for so many families. It's sad how people are so cruel and down right mean. They don't have a conscience and they don't care who they hurt. All they see are dollar signs with big fat zeros.
I was walking through our living room the other night and the TV was on and there were parents and family members sitting around talking about when their child was kidnapped. Some of the kidnappers asked for ransom for the child, others didn't. One mother and father were talking about being blackmailed and if they told anyone they would hurt the child and they would never see them alive again. From what I heard and saw the mother wanted to go to the police but the father forbade her saying the kidnappers had their child in their hands and could do whatever they wanted if we fell out of line.
The main reason he didn't want her to go to the authorities is because the kidnappers had pictures of the father having sex with some girl at his job. His wife found out about his affair and realized that was the reason he didn't want to go to the police. She then went and reported this to the authorities and told them what was going on. They saved the child and found out the father was in on the kidnapping of his fourteen year old daughter. The father is supposedly serving time.
That was one child in a million that was brought home safe and alive.
This particular one was about children being kidnapped. Man it blows my mind what these sick bastards do to just pick up a child that is alone. They follow a group of children to the mall, the store, the movies, sit and watch them eat. Just waiting for one to go to the bathroom or walk away from the ones they are with.
Or they would wait till the child sat their drink down and they swap it out with theirs. The child would drink their water and start feeling bad. The bastard would watch and wait so he or she could take the child with them. Saying I'll get you back to your group but went the other way and got the child in their car and left.
Some kidnappers just walk up to them and threaten them saying they have a gun and if they scream they will start shooting if they don't go with them. What is this world coming to? Sex Trafficking and Human Trafficking sometimes goes hand in hand. Whether the children are taken for work labor or used in brothels or wherever they want to send them.
This is the top cities of Sex Trafficking
Chicago, Illinois, Las Vegas, Nevada, Atlanta, Georgia, Columbus, Ohio, Dallas, Texas, San Diego, California. New York and Florida.
California ranks the highest followed by Florida and Texas
At a broad level, sex trafficking is a form of human trafficking but human trafficking isn't limited to sex trafficking. However it is true that sex trafficking victims occupy the largest percentage of the human trafficking industry.
The worst countries are
Libya, Eritrea, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Turkmenistan
Lord, what is this ol world coming to when people walk out their door never to be seen again.
I have prayed about this over the years and it hits closer and closer to home. Hell I was worried when my girls wanted to ride their bikes to the store or go visit a friend. You never know who is lurking around the corner. I just wanted to wrap mine in bubble wrap and keep them with me. But you know that's not realistically possible. I wish it was but they have to venture out on their own and see what this big ol world has to offer them.
I have read and read so much about Sex Trafficking and kidnappings that they are burned into my brain and eyes. You know it's not just Sex Traffickers it could be anyone that is sick in the head and kidnaps a child or hell and adult for that matter.
This has been happening for years and years. People were scared to come forward afraid something was going to happen to them or their family if they told anyone what was going on.
I just sat there and cried along with some of the parents that will never see their child again.
Now back to the BDSM Clubs
What people realize is that they have to sign an NDA before they enter the main area of a BDSM Club but what they don't realize is the ones that are making them sign haven't signed one. That means they can talk about you to anyone they want to but you can't breathe a word about them. People think it goes both ways but it doesn't.
So it's like this if they tell you they are going to tell your family about your extracurricular activities if you don't help them they will blackmail you, you tow the line and do as they say. Some very sleazy people can and will rat you out if you do or don't cooperate with them. They hold your life in their hands with that sheet of paper that has your name on it. Probably along with some compromising pictures. So you don't want your family, friends and colleagues finding out about your kink so you agree to whatever they tell you to do just to keep your family and livelihood.
They have judges, doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, politicians and a whole lot more. You won't believe it unless you read it.
All these families that have missing children the majority of them never see their child again. This is beginning to be a sad, sad world we live in.
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ*
There will not be any abuse or sexual activities involving children… I just wanted to put that out there.
We are going to save the children and put the bastards in jail where they belong. Are you all ready for the rollercoaster ride that we are going on? Are you prepared for the action, yes action of one FBI Captain Anastasia Trevelyan and Agent Paula Donovan and her teams? Sit back and relax if you can. We will be traveling after we take down the bastards in New York and New Jersey. Hold onto your hats or your seats it's going to get bumpy.
We won't be hearing from Christian or the family calling Ana and Paula for a little while. The girls have to concentrate on their missions right now. The Trevelyan family will be busy helping all the children that were saved.
Chapter 32 Part 3 Arrests and Travel
"Agent Donovan, Morris and Brody come with me. We are going to see what the Assistant Manager has to say about all of this. Do you have a name for me? Who is the Assistant Manager?"
"Captain his name is Percy Drake he has been Assistant Manager for approximately three years now."
"I went to high school with a guy whose name was Percy Drake."
"Does he know we are coming to talk to him?"
"He knows something is up but not what it is unless he has figured it out within the last three hours." he says looking at his watch.
"Well let's go and see if Mr. Drake that couldn't keep his hands to himself are the same one. He was a real jerk in school trying to pick up every girl there and didn't like the word no. He was from a very wealthy family. I believe his dad owned a chain of restaurants around Seattle and a few other cities close by."
"Do you think it is the same one?"
"One way to find out, let's go and see."
They walk up to the Assistant Managers office and see his name on the door. Assistant Manager Percy Drake.
"Hey guys, has he talked to anyone and does he know why he is being held in his office?"
"Hey Captian Trevelyan yes he knows what is going on and he is singing like a canary."
"Who is in there with him?"
"Watson, Rivers and Cain Captain."
"Alright y'all stay out here. Agent Steele and Powers will take him to the Homeland Security office here when I am through with him."
"Yes ma'am."
He opens the door for them and they walk in.
Ana sees him before he sees her. Damn what the hell happened to the good looking guy from school. He's chubby and his hair is almost gone. He looks older than his twenty eight years. Man he looks like he is pushing forty. This may not be the same guy. She says to herself.
He looks up and sees Ana; he is stunned.
"Well I'll be if it ain't little Anastasia Steele. What the hell are you doing here gorgeous lady?"
"Sit back down sir and address her as Captain Anastasia Trevelyan of the FBI."
"Oh my god you're FBI? Why is he calling you Trevelyan?"
"I will ask the questions not you Drake."
He just sits there looking at her.
"Percy Drake you are under arrest for aiding and abetting Sex Traffickers in hiding children so they can be transported overseas."
He looks like he is going to faint.
"Read him his rights, Agent Morris."
"Stand up, turn around and place your hands behind your back."
He does as he is told and Morris puts the handcuffs on him.
"Percy Drake you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind do you wish to talk to me?"
"Yes I understand and yes I want to talk to you and the Captain."
"Have a seat Drake. Now what do you want to talk to us about?"
"I know I am in big trouble. I know I am going to prison but anything is better than being here day after day and doing this. I hated helping them. They told me after a year I could leave. Well look, it's been three years and I'm still here."
"Why are you here and not back in Seattle or Bellevue with your family running your dad's business?"
"Dad kicked me out when my girlfriend got pregnant and I didn't want anything to do with the baby. I refused to help her or see the baby. My parents took my trust fund and helped my now ex girlfriend out. They said if I couldn't provide for them they weren't going to provide for me to run wild."
"Why you sorry piece of shit. That is your child, it takes two to make the child not just her. Captain, can I beat his ass please?"
"Stand down Donovan you to Brody. Any ass kicking is going to be done by me." she laughs.
"Yeah I know I am a piece of shit but I didn't want a baby."
"Well the least you could have done was provide for the baby you prick."
"Okay, okay we are getting off track here."
"Sorry Captain."
"Why are you working with these people Drake? You know they are bad and they sell these innocent children to men."
"I started here three years ago but I didn't know what they were doing until last year. I swear I didn't know. I was going to resign and leave but they said I knew too much and if I left they would kill my family. My boss knew why I left Bellevue and they threatened my ex-girlfriend and baby girl. I didn't want anyone to die so I stayed and kept my mouth shut."
"So you're telling me the last year they have kept you here against your will threatening to kill your family?"
"Yes Ana I mean Captain you have to believe me. I have proof of everything here in my office and my boss's office. I can get everything you need, even the documents I had to sign. They made me sign an NDA."
"Get everything and show me right now. Where is the paperwork in your boss's office?"
"Under his middle desk drawer taped to the bottom of it and in the file cabinet the last two drawers. He has a safe combination of 28 right 43 left 56 right 21 left. You will find all the documents from all of his doings with the leader of the Sex trafficking here in Jersey and New York. His name is Arnoldo Sanchez. He talks to my boss and they plan their kidnappings. There are recordings in his office in the safe along with probably millions of dollars. He doesn't trust banks."
"Morris, you and Brody go and check his boss's office out and leave nothing untouched. Search it with a fine tooth comb you hear."
"Yes Captain, we are on it."
They walk out and Drake is pulling everything he has on the scum and himself.
"Here you go Captain. It is all there."
Ana looks at and lays the papers down. She looks at him.
"Captain, you are not going to read those? " he points to the papers she laid on the desk.
"I read them Drake."
"How the hell did you read them that fast?"
"I am a speed reader and more."
"Well hell will wonders never cease? I never knew that. I knew you were smart and ahead of me and a lot of the other kids in school but this floors me. We thought you were just a stuck up bitch. Sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud."
"Yeah well now you know. Now back to all those papers there is your NDA, your family and pictures of your daughter. There are also some papers threatening you if you don't comply with them. Damn I wish you would have come forward before now.'
"Captain our Judge is in on this and the Commissioner. If the papers in my boss's safe and office are all still there the names of everyone is there. My boss didn't take anything for granted and kept proof of everything that went down."
"Please tell me either your papers or your boss's papers give the names of the children they have taken over the years and where they were going with them."
"Yes Captain he has everything documented crossing all his T's and dotting all his I's."
The agents come back in with all the boss's papers and the money that was in the safe.
"Why are they wearing gloves?"
"Because those papers are evidence just like these are."
"You weren't wearing gloves."
"Oh yes I was see I still have them on." She shows him her hands and so does Donovan.
"Captain, everything he said was there and more."
She waits for him to say more.
"Oh yes Captain his boss has documents back ten years if not more."
"Call Homeland Security and talk to Agent Robert Banks and tell him we have found proof that the manager Oscar Peets is aiding the Sex Traffickers Ring and you and Waston are bringing the proof to him."
"Yes Captain and do you want us to bring the money with us?"
"No, I am going to call a private company to carry all that money with guards locked and loaded."
"Yes ma'am and where do you want us to meet you?"
"We will be at the FBI office when you all get done. Then we are going to visit New York port again. I have already made sure we have agents posted there. No one will be leaving anytime soon."
"Alright Captain see you later. I take it we are fixing to travel?"
"You got that right."
She doesn't say anything else.
After the agents leave Ana sits back down and stares at Drake.
"What are you going to do with me?"
"Oh I am not going to do anything to you. You are going to Homeland Security offices just as soon as the agents are here to pick you up. Just remember you have been read your rights and are under arrest."
She points to his handcuffs.
"Yes Captain I know."
There is a knock on the door.
Paula opens it.
"Hello Steele and Powers."
"Donovan, how are you? Where is the Captain?"
"I am good and she is right over there sir."
Ray walks over to Ana.
"Captain Trevelyan is this the man we are taking in?"
"Yes sir, his name is Percy Drake. He confessed after he was read his rights. He also turned off evidence about his boss Oscar Peets and Agent Morris and my guys are taking all the evidence to Homeland Security Agent Robert Banks sir."
"Very good and we are here to take him in."
"Steele sir as in Raymond Steele?"
"Yes, that is me. Do I know you?"
"Agent Steele, this is Mr. Percy Drake, can't take no for an answer. He is George and Ellen's son from back in Bellevue."
"Oh I thought I recognized the name."
"What are you doing all the way on the east coast?"
"Agent Steele it is all in my report for you to look at after you have him booked and locked up sir."
"Yes Captain Trevelyan let's go Drake. I am sure your parents won't be happy to hear about this young man."
"Thank you sir."
"Let's go Drake."
They walk out and leave Ana and Paula.
"Donovan asked Myers and Bailey to come in please."
Donovan walks to the door and tells the agents to come in.
"Agents Myers and Bailey I want you two to stand guard outside the door and let no one in understand? We have all this money here and I am fixin to call a security service to come and take it to Homeland Security."
"Yes Captain."
"Agents Rivers and Cain will wait with us in the office."
"Hello this is Vagovan Security. How may I help you?"
"Hello this is FBI Captain Anastasia Trevelyan speaking sir and who am I speaking with?" "
My name is Jeffery Bannister Captain Trevelyan."
"Thank you sir. I am at the port of New Jersey in the Assistant managers office and I would like for you to send six armed guards over here sir to pier 37 that is where the offices are located."
"Yes Captain Trevelyan and may I ask what they will be transporting?"
"Money and documents sir. The items are going to the Homeland Security office here in New Jersey."
"Yes ma'am I will send six of my best men."
"Thank you and may I have their names sir?"
"Yes Captain. Mitch Bedford, Amos Raynes, Carlos Mize, Barry Marks these men will be coming to the office you are in. Paul Anders will be outside the truck and Roy Sands will be in the driver's seat."
"Thank you sir. My agents Rollins and Becker will need to see identification from each man sir."
"That will not be a problem Captain Trevelyan, my men are always carrying their ID's with them at all times."
"Very good sir and what time can we expect them?"
"They will be leaving just as soon as I call them all in the office and explain what they will be doing. Ten minutes top Captain."
"Please have them bring a counting machine if you have one available?"
"Yes we do and this is for cash?"
"Yes sir it is."
"Thank you Captain, I will send them right over they are in my office now."
"Thank you sir, I will be waiting on them. I have two guards outside my door that will need to be shown proof of identity sir."
"Yes Captain, they will follow protocol ma'am."
"Thank you sir and good day."
Ana and Paula sit around and talk with the other agents while they are waiting on the security guys.
"Now my dear friend, sister that I love with everything in me. I was supposed to be taking care of you watching your six because god help something happen to you and your husband has a fit and wants to shoot me."
"Yes sister and your point is?"
She looks at her deadpan.
"Ana my god I saw you on the chopper and then on them damn lines coming down. I thought I was going to have a damn heart attack especially when I saw you duck from a bullet coming at you and you jumping in the water and then flying up like Rambo shooting two men and saving two of ours. Don't you ever do that again, do you hear me?"
"I am sorry Paula but we had to get over to y'all fast and that is the only way we could do it. I was protected on all sides. I had snipers with me. Thank you for worrying about me. I understand where you are coming from. Heaven forbid you would have to tell Boo something happened to me and I was hurt. It would kill him and he probably would murder you."
"I will take into consideration what I am doing next time."
Captain's phone is ringing.
"Hello this Trevelyan go."
"Captain this is Agent Rollins we have checked all of Vagovan Security identifications and they are all good. I am sending Bedford, Raynes, Mize and Marks up to you with a counting machine."
"Thank you Agent Rollins."
He tells the men where to go and there will be two agents waiting on them.
They walk up to the agents and show them proof of who they are.
"Captain this is Mitch Bedford, Amos Raynes, Carlos Mize and Barry Marks. Gentlemen this Captain Anastasia Trevelyan of the FBI and Agent Donovan, Agent Rivers and Agent Cain."
They all say hello and walk in the office.
"Captain Trevelyan I was told to bring a counting machine where do you want me to sit it?"
"Right there on the desk sir. The money is in the bags on the floor sir."
He picks up one of the bags and looks inside and whistles.
"Yeah we did the same thing too."
"So you have no idea how much money is here?"
"Not a clue."
"Alright, we will start counting it. Every Time it reaches five thousand it will beep and the money will be wrapped in wrappers showing five thousand dollars on the wrapper."
"Alright you may start whenever you get ready sir."
They all stand there and watch as the money is counted as it is put in the machine. It beeps and then beeps again and again and again and so on until all the money has been counted and wrapped.
Ana looks over at the count on the machine and can't believe her eyes.
"Is that correct Mr. Bedford?"
"Yes ma'am it is. Man that is some serious money. How long do you reckon he has had that here Captain?"
"Hard to say sir but from the looks of it I would say years. Y'all wrap it tight and take it to Homeland Security to Agent Robert Banks and no one else. Ask for his credentials."
"Yes ma'am Captain and you all have a good day. Here is the receipt for the money and the video."
"Wow y'all don't leave nothing to chance do you?"
"No Agent Donovan, we have to cover our asses everytime we transport anything. Captain, you have some documents for me to carry also right?"
"Yes sir I do."
She hands him a packet of folders.
"Guard those as if they were the money."
"Yes ma'am."
They leave as soon as they take their guns out of their holsters and walk out the door.
"My god Captain, that amount was obscene. I have never seen that much money in my life."
"Yeah I know what you mean. Why in the hell would he keep that kind of money in a damn safe on the docks of the port?"
"Blows my mind."
"Let's see what else is here we can take with us and then we have to get back in the chopper and head over to New York. I wanted to see the children but they said they had already left. I think I will take care of all of them at the hospital until their families arrive."
"Do you think any of the parents were in on this?"
"That is hard to say and I am not going to speculate unless I know the facts. It is a downright shame these kids have been missing for I don't know how long and their parents haven't come forward after the first time of reporting them missing or not at all."
"I know what you mean Captain."
"Put all that in the duffle bags and let's get out of here. This room is stifling and I am not going to look at the back room in the manager's office. I am sure the guys already did."
"Yes Captain we did and no you don't want to it is a mess. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years and it probably hasn't."
"Agent Gentry is the chopper ready to lift off back to New York?"
"Yes Captain whenever you are ready."
"Very good, we will be there in ten minutes sir."
"Yes Captain."
"Snipers, let's move out, we are going to New York via the chopper."
"Ten-four Captain on the way."
They all climb in the chopper and make their way back to the New York Port.
"Set down to the east side of the entrance."
"Yes Captain Trevelyan."
"Alright y'all let's go and put a damn stop to the bastards and get the ring leader, his name is Arnoldo Sanchez. Agent Marlowe called and said he and two other men were hiding in the back warehouse building next to pier 43. From looking at the map of the port that would be to our left from here. Spread out teams and let's try to bring them all in alive. I said try. I do want the ring leader and whoever the hell is hiding with him. You all should be careful. My agent said he was armed and from what he could tell there weren't any children present but proceed with caution.
"Yes Captain, we are all locked and loaded."
"Snipers spread out around pier 43 and 45. Do not let them escape. If you do, you will not like me."
"How well we all know Captain. We will protect you all and bring them down."
"Move out teams we got some dirty rats to catch. Hope y'all ain't afraid of rats."
"The bigger they are the slower they are."
"Donovan, Begley, Fields, Cromer, Graham you all are with me."
"Yes Captain."
"Team two take the left side and back."
"Yes Captain Trevelyan. Alright team you heard the Captain let's move."
Snipers you all in position on roofs?"
"Yes Captain ten-four. Got a birds eye view of the port buildings."
"Double time teams let's rock and roll. Bring these bastards to their knees."
All you could hear were boots flying across the cement docks.
"Donovan, look to your right. Looks like he is trying to get away and hide."
"Got him Captain. Be right back."
Captain Trevelyan laughs and watches for a few seconds. Damn she is good. Knocked his ass out.
"Need an EMT over here on pier 43 got a bad guy down."
"Did you knock someone out again Captain?"
"Oh no not me it was Donovan. She walked up behind this scum and knocked him out."
"Ten-four."
"Captain Trevelyan, where is the bad guy um.. person?"
"Right there with Agent Donovan sir and you were right the first time you said it"
"Snipers see anything out of the ordinary?"
"Negative Captain."
"Keep your eyes open and peeled on the surrounding buildings. We are getting closer to the warehouse."
"Ten-four Captain."
"Captain, I looked in the window in the back and there were three men with no children that were visible. All three men are armed."
"Ten-four don't take any chances. We don't know if they are hiding children or not."
"Alright everyone surround the building three and four."
"Ten-four Captain."
"Let's have a look see and take the fools down."
"Captain got the back door covered."
"Ten-four."
"Captain all windows and upstairs locked down. No one is getting out of here."
"Alright, let's do it."
They all approached the building silently and slid into place like ghosts. Now you see them now you don't.
"Captain T. no dangerous maneuvers I got my eyes on you."
"Who me Donovan?" she laughs
"Yes Trevelyan you. I don't want anything to happen to you." she says with a choked up voice.
"I'll be careful and you do the same."
Captain Trevelyan stealthy walked up to the door with Donovan, Jasper and Morris.
"Captain, we need to take that scumbag Sanchez alive. You won't believe what all they have recorded."
"Welcome back Morris. Okay y'all now."
There was so much commotion going on that the scumbags didn't know what was happening. The noise was so loud they didn't know where it was coming from.
"Drop your weapons and kiss the floor."
He raises his gun and aims at the Captain.
"FBI drop your weapons I will not repeat myself. You all are under arrest."
He aims and the Captain shoots his hand holding the gun and he drops it and screams.
"Anyone else want to try me today?"
"Drop your weapons and kiss the damn floor now." she yells at them and they drop their guns.
" Very slowly reach in your back pockets and take out your wallets and hand them over to my agents. Don't try anything because you all are covered and the least attempt to try anything will put your ass on the floor with a bullet or two, do you understand?"
"Well look here Captain we have none other than the Sex Trafficking Ring Leader himself. Arnoldo Sanchez."
"Agent Morris please do the honors and read him his rights."
"Arnoldo Sanchez you are under arrest for Sex trafficking children here and across the globe to other countries. You are under arrest for pedophilia for having pictures of under age children on your computer here at the pier and your home. We had a search warrant and searched your house sir."
"Arnoldo Sanchez, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me?"
"Yes I understand my rights and no I do not wish to talk to you. I want to call my lawyer."
"Very well Sanchez you can do that down at headquarters. Take him away Andrews and Cole. Get him booked and processed at the Homeland office."
"Yes Captain."
"Let's go scum drum."
"Archer Rhodes you are under arrest for the aiding and abetting of children and kidnapping. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If You cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind do you wish to talk to me?"
"Yeah I understand and no I ain't got nothing to say to any of you. I want my lawyer."
"Take him away Morris and Fieldstone. Straight to the Homeland Office they are expecting these criminals."
"Young Campbell you are under arrest for aiding and abetting of young children and kidnapping. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind do you wish to talk to me?"
"Yeah I understand and hell no I ain't talking to no one but my damn lawyer."
"You know Campbell for someone so young you got a helluva mouth on you. I hope you don't kiss your mom with that nasty mouth. Get him out of my face."
"Let's go prissy boy scumbucket."
"Don't look at me like that? Hell man you dress like that. That's what you look like all deck out in bright pink. Lord help us, what is this world coming to?"
"I ain't no fairy."
"Didn't say you were Campbell, I was referring to your clothes because they are bright pink."
They were read their rights and cuffed.
"Did you all search these three warehouses?"
"Yes Captain and there is no sign of any children anywhere on the premises. We went over the ship and found nothing. No clothes or any sign of children being on board."
"Thank god for that. Good job everyone."
"What's next, Captain?"
"We have two truck drivers still sitting in their trucks. One here and the other still in Jersey. Donovan have two of our agents that are still over there going through everything to check the driver out and bring him to the FBI office here in New York."
"Yes Captain."
They have no phone or any way to connect to anyone. I would say they are ready to talk or maybe not. We will see. Then we will be going over to the two companies that loaded those containers for New York and New Jersey. Homeland has their guys already there over there posted everywhere so no one can come in or leave."
"Have the driver in the blue truck come over here. Check him before he gets out of his truck. Never know when they are carrying something to protect themselves. Guns are illegal in commercial vehicles but I wouldn't put anything past them."
The agent walks over to the driver and introduces himself as Agent Brant of the FBI and tells him to step outside his truck and stand with his back to him.
"Do you have anything in your pockets with sharp objects?"
"Nope."
"What is your name, driver? I need to see your ID."
"Am I under arrest?"
"Why would you think that?"
"Because I have been sitting here for hours and I couldn't leave. My phone doesn't work and I would like to know what is going on."
"As of this moment you are not under arrest but my Captain would like to ask you some questions. ID please and what is your name?"
He hands his license over to Agent Brant.
"Manny Riggs, how old are you? He is looking at his license.
'Twenty-two sir."
"How long have you been driving a commercial vehicle?"
"This is my second year sir."
"Hey now don't get testy I am just asking because I need to know this information."
"Sorry I am just tired and want to get this over with."
"Very well come with me and don't try anything or I will be forced to handcuff you."
"I will cooperate sir."
They walk over to Captain Trevelyan and the agents.
"Captain Trevelyan this is Manny Riggs he is twenty-two years old and has been driving a commercial vehicle for one year."
"Mr. Riggs, were you aware of the contents in the container you brought over here to the port?"
"Am I under arrest?"
"Not at the moment you are not but I would like an answer. You can talk to me here or over at FBI Headquarters your choice sir."
"I had a blank bill of lading. It was blank. They always give us a blank bill of ladings after we hook up the containers from the loading dock."
"So you're telling me there was nothing written on your bill of lading? You have no idea what you brought over here to the port? Is that what you are telling me Mr. Riggs?"
"Yes ma'am that is what I am saying."
"You seem nervous for some reason. Who do you work for Riggs? I believe you are not being truthful with me Riggs."
"I work for Extreme Loading Captain."
"How long have you been employed by them?"
"This is my first driving job in one year as a driver and I started working for them as a forklift driver when I was eighteen years old."
"Yes you seem very nervous now young man you are sweating and you can't stand still long enough to talk to me. You seem very agitated. Now do you want to talk to me?"
He looks at her and smirks.
"You just had to come in here with your high mighty agents and whoever and fuck this up didn't you you little bitch?"
"Whoa hold on there sonny you have no right to call me names."
He gets closer to her face.
"I am going to say this one time and one time only back the fuck away from me."
"Why are you scared little bitch?"
All the agents just stand there looking and waiting.
"Step back Riggs now."
They are in a standoff. Captain doesn't take her eyes off him. She sees he is just biding his time.
All of a sudden he lunges forward toward her.
She sees this and kicks his legs out from under him. He goes down on the concert with a big oof coming out of his mouth.
"You Riggs are under arrest for attempting bodily harm to a FBI Captain."
She jerks him off the concert floor and pushes him to Agent Tomlin.
"Read this jerk his damn rights and get him out of here and to our building and process him and sit him in the interrogation room. I will be there later."
He was read his rights, handcuffed and led away.
"Why didn't any of you help her?"
"Did she look like she needed our assistance? The Captain can handle you and more. Don't underestimate our Captain Trevelyan. Come on Riggs time to get your fingers dirty and have your picture taken."
They leave with him.
"What is it with men and women calling me a bitch?"
"Damn if I know Captain but you know how to put them in their place right quick like."
"Yes Donovan I sure as hell do. I can't wait to interrogate that little piece of shit. He will sit there until I decide to pay him a visit. Let's go to the warehouse."
"Ready whenever you are Captain."
"Let's be on our way. We are going in the chopper again and the rest of you drive over to the Extreme Loading. Here is the address. 23647 Holcomb Lane Bronx, New York. We will meet you there."
"Ten-four Captain."
"Captain, when you went back to Jersey the manager of the port here in New York showed up. He was read his rights and arrested by Agent Robert Banks and taken to the Homeland Security building. Thought you would like to know. Also his assistant manager was taken there as well."
"Very good news and two more bastards out of the way."
They all climb in the chopper and head to Extreme Loading.
"Captain, there is a huge wide open field in the back of the company building. That is where I am going to sit her down. It will be a little bit of a walk for you all but I can't get any closer."
"That is fine, not a problem."
They all climb out of the chopper and walk a little ways to the building. She sees Homeland Security and her agents standing all around.
"Captain, we have the owners in separate rooms and the managers in separate rooms. The building is on lock down. No one is getting in or out. No one has left the building."
"Thank you Markson, has anyone talked to them yet?"
"Only to say they were going to be questioned and that they were under arrest. No one has asked for their lawyer. They are all staying quiet."
"Did you obtain the search warrant?"
"Yes Captain. They tried to object but it did them no good. We searched and found all kinds of incriminating evidence. I am no lawyer or judge but these boys and girls are going to prison for a long time."
"Speaking of judges, get with Morris as soon as you can. He is at the Homeland building right now turning in some scumbags. He has a list of lawyers, judges and more for you all to look at and get search warrants for."
"Yes Captain. Who are you going to see first and do you want any of us with you?"
"I'm going to talk to the Owner Mr. Charles Wentworth then his wife Brenda. Yes I want one agent in there when I talk to him and then her."
"Right now we have an agent with each of them and from the messages we are receiving neither has spoken a word."
"Who is in there with Mr. Wentworth?"
"Agent OBarr and with his wife, agent Jessica Hammonds. No one is with the shift managers."
"Thank you and you come with me to Wentworth's office."
They walk into the office and she looks around until she finds a pudgy red faced old man who looks like he has had one too many double bacon cheeseburgers. That's all you can smell in here is bacon.
"Mr. Charles Wentworth my name is Captain Anastasia Trevelyan of the FBI and this Agent Markson. I am sure my other agent introduced himself when he brought you in here."
"Yes Captain Trevelyan he did. I am really confused as to why we are being held here and why the hell you shut down my business."
She just looks at him. Did he really say that? She looks at her agents and back at him.
"Mr. Wentworth you are under arrest. I am sure you have been read your rights. Now I am going to ask you if you would like to talk to me here or down at the FBI Headquarters?"
"I have nothing to hide."
"Let me make something very clear to you sir you see we had a search warrant and we have been through your and your wives office and the manager's offices. Your home has been searched from top to bottom. Every piece of paper, file and computer that is here has evidence on it. Everything you have done for the last fifteen years Wentworth. Now I will ask you again, do you want to talk to me or do you want your lawyer present down at Headquarters?"
"I have nothing to say. I want my lawyer. But first you are coming with me Captain Trevelyan and you two stand down. If I see anyone reach for their gun I will kill this bitch do you hear me?"
"Now Mr. Wentworth you don't have to do this sir. We can talk about this calmly. No reason to make it any worse than it is on you sir."
"Do you think I give a fuck what happens now. I am guilty as hell and I am not going to prison. You hear me bitch you and I am walking out of here alone."
"Mr. Wentworth we have agents surrounding this building you will not make out of here alive."
"Just watch me you fuckin prick move your pretty ass bitch."
"I am so fucking over everybody calling me a bitch. How many times is it now y'all?"
"Way too many Captain."
He jerks her arm and pulls her toward him.
"I said move you damn stupid bitch. How about that stupid bitch now?"
"You are playing with fire sir and fire burns."
The door opens and slowly walking in is Donovan. Ana sees her and the agents see her but they keep their eyes on the subject and their Captain.
"Back to the door bitch."
Ana is boiling mad.
She looks out of the corner of her eye and sees Donovan getting closer. She shakes her head quickly to stop her.
"Mr. Wentworth last time for you to stop this before someone gets hurt."
"Only one that's going to get her is you stupid bitch now fucking more your ass."
She moved so quickly that he didn't see her. She turned and threw herself at him knocking his gun on the floor. He wrestles with her trying to push her off him so he can get his gun. She kicks him in his balls and he screams like a little girl. He reaches his gun and aims it at her. They fight over it. Ana lifts it away from her and he pulls it back down.
"You ain't gonna win stupid bitch I am twice as strong and twice as big as you are."
"Size doesn't matter asshole. Look at you already sweating and can hardly breathe."
They continue to fight over the gun. She knees him again and he jerks so hard the gun falls down between them out of his hand. He tries to reach for it same as Ana does and the and the only sound you hear is the bullet releasing from the chamber and then the ominous sound of a loud bang as the gun goes off.
No one moves or breathes wondering who got shot. No one is saying a word. Ana and Mr. Wentworth aren't moving.
"Call 911 now, call them now dammit."
Paula yells out the door and she is crying even though she doesn't know who is hit. All she sees is a lot of blood.
The EMT's arrive and take in the situation. They carefully lift Captain Trevelyan off the man under her so they can assess the damage of who was see that the Captain wasn't are trying to slow the flow of blood that is coming out of Mr. Wentworth's stomach.
"Agent Donovan, sit down you can't do anything right are in their way."
"That is my best friend, my sister. I need to know if she is alright. There is so much blood I can't tell who it is coming from and the Captain is not talking."
The EMT Betty is trying to talk to Paula.
"Agent Donovan calm down, she was not shot but she has passed out."
"Oh thank god."
"As they are working on Mr. Wentworth comes to and looks at Paula.
"What is going to happen to my wife?"
He barely gets the words out of his mouth with blood on his lips.
"You are worried about your damn wife right now and there has been a shooting caused by you sir?"
She just looks at him
"You sir,should worry about you, we are adding attempted murder of an FBI Captain to the list of your arrest."
"Your wife is under arrest."
He shakes his head and closes his eyes and passes out.
The EMT's have them on the gurneys and takes them to the ambulances.
The ambulance that has Mr. Wentworth is hauling ass out of the parking lot.
"Agent Donovan, again Captain Trevelyan was not shot, she has passed out and we are going to check her out."
Paula wants to ride with Ana but they are trying to wake her up. They haven't left the grounds yet.
They hear her screaming and one of the EMT's opens the door.
"Agent Donovan she was not shot but she has passed out. I know she is your friend but we need to check her out and there is no room for you. She had a bump on her head when she fell over on the man. Now let us do our job and I will update you as soon as I can."
This is Paula thinking the worst…..Just thinking
Oh my god what if he is lying to me and she did get shot. No they wouldn't lie to an agent of the FBI would they? What am I going to tell Christian? Oh dear lord she can't die please god you can't take my best friend my sister. This will kill everyone. Oh granmomma and Ray oh lord please let her be alright. Elliot will lose it if he loses her. Gran and grandpa bless everyone's heart/ We can't lose her, we just can't.
Paula is on her knees bawling, screaming and praying for her best friend and their family.
Paula's thinking the worst is over
Why won't these idiots tell me anything? Dammit."
She bangs on the door of the ambulance.
The door opens again and they let her in.
She walks over to the gurney they have Ana on and looks down at her best friend and holds her hand crying.
"How is she, is she going to be alright?"
"Yes she is, she passed out. She didn't get shot the man did and he may not make it Agent Donovan. I told you she passed out because hit her head on his and once again she was not shot."
"You mean all this time y'all were trying to wake her and make sure she was alright from hitting his head?"
"Um yes ma'am."
"Why you idiots? I have been crying and screaming for the last twenty damn minutes praying she was going to live."
They look at her like she is crazy.
"What, you didn't believe us?"
"I wanted to but she is my best friend and I was so worried when that damn gun went off and all that blood. I was scared shitless you know."
"We are sorry but our patient comes first. We told you she had not been shot, you would have known if anything serious was going on with her and we would already be at the hospital. Please believe us next time. We had to assess the situation with all the blood having to find out if she had any scratches or sores on her body from all the blood. We had to give her some fluids as she was starting to get dehydrated. She has been out working the field all day right with you and the other agents?"
"Yes, yes she has and come to think of it I don't remember her I or anyone drinking anything or eating for that matter. Damn we need food."
"She is coming too."
"Oh my god woman don't you ever do something like that again you hear me. You could have been the one who got shot. I love you Annie Rose but I am so mad at you right now. You had no right to take that upon yourself when you saw me and the other agents walking in. We had him dead to rights and could have taken him out. Then oh no nothing but our brave Captain jumped in our line of fire. I almost pulled the trigger and so did a few others. You are damn lucky no one had a hair trigger or you would be dead. Dammit woman."
The EMT's just stand there with smiles on their faces. The love these two have for each other.
She says hugging her best friend and crying.
"I am sorry Paula I am so very sorry. Please don't be mad at me. I am the Captain and I have to protect my team."
Whoops wrong thing to say.
"Yes you are our Captain and we take care of each other not just you pulling all the weight. Do you hear me, woman? Do you?"
"Yes Paula I hear you and I am sorry."
"Can I go now Allan? I feel fine and this fluid is all gone."
"As long as you are not dizzy and I need to check your blood pressure again. Then I want all of you to go and eat and drink plenty of liquids. I only gave you a small bag of saline."
"Yes sir."
Paula helps her sit up.
"Are you dizzy or feel sick Captain?"
"No, I feel fine and I promise we will all eat and drink plenty of water. Now I need to get out of here."
"Alright, your Blood Pressure is fine. Please be more considerate of your health. We got all the blood off of you and checked to make sure you didn't have any scratches or open sores on your body where the blood could get in. You didn't so don't look so worried you are fine.
"Yes sir I will. Have a good day and make sure the other EMT's know that Mr. Wentworth is a criminal and he will have guards at the hospital."
"Yes Captain, they are already aware of his situation."
They step out of the ambulance and walk back to the office building.
"Donovan, follow me we are going to talk to Mrs. Brenda Wentworth. There is an Agent Jessica Hammonds in there with her."
"Do you feel up to doing this Annie Rose?"
"Stop worrying, I am fine. Not weak or dizzy at all."
She opens the door and they walk in. She looks around and sees how immaculate the wife's office is compared to her husband's drab and dusty. She seems to be about twenty years younger than her husband. Dressed to the nines, why come to work looking like you are going out on the town? Her makeup is two layers thick and her cheeks look like she sucked on a vacuum hose. Her lips got way too much botox. Her enhanced breasts are up under her chin. I guess she wanted to look like Dolly and wanted bigger breast and a wasp-like waist. Hell I can almost put just one hand around her waist, that's how small it is.
"Who the hell are you and if you are done looking at my office and me you can turn around and get the fuck out. My husband will be right in here to throw all of you out."
She stands up and yells at them.
"Mrs. Wentworth please sit down and be quiet. I have to talk to you about your husband."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Sit back down Mrs. Wentworth I am Captain Anastasia Trevelyan of the FBI. This is Agent Paula Donovan and I am sure Agent Hammonds introduced herself."
"What is the meaning of this intrusion in our business?"
"Agent Hammonds, was Mrs. Wentworth read her rights and placed under arrest and told the reason for the arrest?"
"Yes Captain Trevelyan she was and yes she knows why she is under arrest."
"Thank you Agent Hammonds."
"Mrs. Wentworth first and foremost your husband is on his way to the hospital he got into an altercation and is at the hospital now. Now please sit down and an agent will be here in a moment to take you to the hospital but you will be under guard and you are still under arrest. I am allowing you to be at the hospital with your husband for now. Do you understand what I am saying Mrs. Wentworth?"
"Yes, yes I hear you yeah I understand I'm still under arrest. Can we go now please?"
"Agent Hammonds I have Agent Conners outside the door waiting on you so you can take Mrs. Wentworth to the hospital."
Paula opens the door.
"Agent Conners change of plans, you will be going with Agent Hammonds to take Mrs. Wentworth to the hospital. She will be under heavy guard and so will her husband. I will check in after supper with everyone and see how Mr. Wentworth is doing."
"Very good Captain Trevelyan, ladies if you will follow me."
They arrive at the hospital and ask the condition of Mr. Wentworth.
"I am Agent Conners and this Agent Hammonds of the have Mrs. Wentworth whose husband was brought in by ambulance earlier and we would like to know his condition please?"
They show her their badges.
"Mrs. Wentworth, can I talk in front of these agents?"
"Ma'am she is under arrest, same as her husband so anything you have to say we need to know."
"At the moment he is still in has been since he was brought in at four thirty. It is now six o'clock. The doctor will come out or send a nurse out with an update as soon as they can."
"Thank you ma'am, where is the surgical waiting room?"
"Take this elevator to the seventh floor and the waiting room is to the right."
"Thank you very much."
"Yes sir."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Well that is all for now. Hope you liked the action. More to come in part 4. We have to wait and see if Mr. Wentworth makes it. How long do you think Paula will stay mad at her best friend?.
Thank you all for the wonderful reviews so much appreciated and with so much love.
Until the next chapter. Won't be long. Take care everyone.
Thanks,
Linda (octobermist11)
