The park provided many photo opportunities. I sent dozens of photos from my phone to her father. He texted back the go ahead to talk to the family. I dressed in a business suit. This was business. I waited until they all were home, probably doing family things, homework, chores, etc. I almost felt guilt for the impact my news would have. I walked up to the door, rang the bell, and introduced myself with an alias, a detective nobody with information for them. Harmless. For now. I sat in their tasteful living room while they perused the various documents. I listened as they began to change their tone from innocence, to defensive, to outrage. I maintained my composure and calmly asked them for the girl. Of course, they refused. I excused myself and made a phone call from the hall. &quot;They are scared, boss. They must know they will lose her in a trial. They might flee, tonight. How should I proceed?&quot; &quot;Watch them this evening, in the shadows, and intercept them if they leave. If not, get her. I WANT that girl!&quot; 2008-08-09T19:35:07Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/22502 <p>i think the pc term is villianary support</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/22502?basename=85627 2008-08-09T19:35:07Z Mighty-Joe Young http://ficlets.com/authors/user_8969 <p>i love a good henchman</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/22502?basename=85626 2008-08-09T19:34:37Z Mighty-Joe Young http://ficlets.com/authors/user_8969 <p>the father sounds mobish and undeserving of the girl. his creepy henchman is just that creepy. suspenseful.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/22502?basename=46505 2008-03-08T16:49:53Z Kermitgorf http://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorf <p>If that&#8217;s the father.. why&#8217;d he give her up in the first place??<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/22502?basename=45223 2008-03-03T01:24:24Z .:band baby:. http://ficlets.com/authors/bandbaby <p>oh please sequel!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/22502?basename=44290 2008-02-28T02:06:28Z xxcatiexcatxx http://ficlets.com/authors/catiecat <p>whoa.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/22502?basename=44225 2008-02-27T23:27:20Z One Time, One Chance http://ficlets.com/authors/one_chance <p>oh god!
