Ashley peeped through the window, the diamond necklace displayed there drew her attention. It looked very familiar, she placed her palm on the window that separated them and leaned in closer, then even closer.
Hmm...299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEIutWTTHN
Oh my God!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h2BDbEk9p
It suddenly dawned on her where she had seen it! Around the neck of her best friend that she was traveling with!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6X47EEOCT
Shauna!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLmH2TuD4T
She and Ashley had decided to vacation together in Columbia. The sights had been amazing and the people too. But, now Ashley wasn't quite so sure.
Frantically, she dialed her cell number. It rang at least 15 times with no answer.
Ashley was totally perplexed as to how her girlfriend's diamond necklace could be hanging on a pawn shop mannequin.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro5bLvre2i
She rushed inside the store hoping to find some answers.The dark atmosphere of the shop was cold, uninviting and somehow sinister. She approach the counter hesitantly,
"Hello?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Hd8zEb8n
Ashley had a creeping, crawly feeling come over her that she couldn't shake. But gathering her courage she spoke again.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9knkyVPfgW
Hello?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwa5wUrA6i
"Is anyone here?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXuSU5vWZX
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘚 𝘗𝘓𝘈𝘊𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL3GbhFUtN
Cried an arresting voice, filled with wrath.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1tVH2KbqH
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF53LcyKmTt
Ashley was pale with fright, she nearly jumped out of her body.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkLucj0A89
But with the thought that her friend might be in trouble, it gave her the strength to face whoever was behind the voice.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawWpP0NZmr
The place was dimly lit but she could see a slight figure lurking in the darkness. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zA30RB1RE
I, I just need to ask you a few questions, Ashley stammered.
"It's about the diamond necklace hanging on the mannequin in the window."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8JsxX1jw8
I need to know how you obtained it.
"Did she sell it to you?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCFLTsCfJK
"Are you deaf?" The voice said, didn't you see the sign on the door?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8YuhRJnCV
"We're closed!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO65xw1WLJ
Ashley's kickboxing instincts begin to stir. She was a kickboxing instructor at a local gym and far tougher than she looked.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aa7oNbF0e
"Well, replied Ashley the door wasn't locked."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnbPkKiKWY
Furthermore,
I am not leaving until I get some answers! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLBDB79HLL
Now come out this instant or I'm calling the Policia! I will make sure they thoroughly investigate how you came by the diamonds. And I intend to wait right here until they arrive.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHEYTuxegw
𝘞𝘈𝘐𝘛 𝘙𝘐𝘎𝘏𝘛 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘙𝘌!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI5HCPDia4
Wow! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SeMncYWGZ
Ashley thought, this dude must be on voice steroids! Abruptly, she heard a sound and seen a small figure standing at the counter, his head barely clearing it.
Ashley walked towards the figure who stepped back to see her more clearly. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEljw0pSbc0
Why! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4gQrOksqR
"You're just a little old man, exclaimed, Ashley! She seen him discreetly putting a microphone away inside a drawer."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWn9UynPSw
Oh!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn6m1NE5uj
So that's what made me think that perhaps you were King Kong! "Ok, what is your name and how did you get my girlfriend's diamond necklace?"
"My name is of no consequence to you and we purchase the diamonds."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kcRH4HKpi
And that is all you need to know the little man replied. Now, if I were you I would turn around and leave!
"Leave! Ashley said, well, that's not going to happen."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmL4hWUjBo
The oriental suddenly pulled out a whip threatening her with it. But, before he could react Ashley kicked it out his hands. And struck him with it.
"You bitch!"
The man cried, "Look what you've done, wiping the blood dripping from his face."
WHAM!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z0J921hyB
Ashley felled to the floor, her consciousness fading. A tall oriental, robust man was leaning over her clasping a slap jack.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxzlV5OnIg
"What!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsjWoWy4bf
What did you do that for?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Py3MLVL6
"That wasn't necessary cried the small man stepping from behind the counter. Is she dead Akeno?" Now we're really gonna have trouble. It's one thing engaging in human trafficking but murder!
"Don't worry about it said, Akeno, she isn't dead and what possess you to put those damm diamonds in the window anyway."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzVvozGHFk
Listen shorty, if you screw up my operations you might not live to tell the tale. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLiTDso6gC
"My name isn't shorty, it's Miguel!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzifPequpqM
What shall we do now? 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qWXfWwXlZ
When she wakes up, you know she is going to run straight to the Policia.
"Yes, said, Akeno, that is why we are going to sell her on the black market." Normally I would keep her but I need some fast cash. Now remove the diamonds from that mannequin and lock the door.
Miguel locked the door and returned with the diamonds. Akeno said, "Grab her legs and lets take her to the rear entrance."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvX8TETS53
They tied Ashley up and place her inside a limousine with dark tinted windows. Akeno followed in his own vehicle, the limousine pulled up to a ocean pier where a ship was waiting and the doors opened.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lTwBFxvXm
Out stepped two husky looking male Columbians wearing black bandanas that covered their faces. They removed Ashley from the limo just as Akeno arrived.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJoHew4Mbz
Akeno barked an order, "Get her aboard that ship now!"
The trio drew curious glances from people as they almost dragged Ashley aboard the ship. But, they probably assume she had too much to drink. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cKMl7oZc
Akeno bellowed, take her below deck and tell Santiago to come up here and pay me my money for her!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYohEfOcmi
𝘗𝘰𝘸!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU66bhYksU
A bullet suddenly went whizzing by Akeno's ear.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAS7zT1DyD
𝐏𝐨𝐰! 𝐏𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RBado4t5Z
𝐩𝐨𝐰!
His presence was rudely greeted with a hail of bullets, one striking him in his right leg. Akeno screamed in agony, drew his Sig Sauer 45 magnum revolver and returned fire. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzSG78D1iI
"I've been set up cried, Akeno, you dirty bastards!" He staggered back towards the gangplank managing to escape any further injury despite the barrage of fire.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD19MyqEB2F
He threw open the door to his car, and crawled in bleeding profusely. Meanwhile, the Columbians had scurried below deck still carrying Ashley.
The loud gunfire had woken her and she was now fighting with her captors.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vR3nbikdZ
