Alexa Collins My eyes widened. "Kayson I dont want you getting in trouble with this person." I sighed. But then I dialed the number. "Who is it?" a man asked, same voice as before. "Alexa Collins. The girl you're blackmailing. There's someone here with me who wants to talk to you, and they won;t call the cops, I can promise you." "no. No one else but you will I speak to. Anny one else tries to talk to me, and the boy will die. I'm sure you wouls hate that." The line ended. I sighed hanging my head. "They wont talkt o anyone but me."

Kayson. James. King.
He sighed, closing his eyes tightly. "Ring it again, ask them what they want..tell them if its money they are after, they can have it. But if they harm him, well.." he stopped. "Just ask them," he said nodding for her to continue and patted Cira as she whined at her masters unease.

Alexa Collins I sighed and then redialed the number. The man answered again, and seemed pleased that it was me again. "What is it you want? If its money then i can easily give you that. All I want is my little brother back safe and sound," I said, trying to rid my voice of my nerves. "What we want is for you to come to us. Alone. With the money" I shook my head trying to think of a way to placate them. "How much?" "Ten thousand. Midnight. Tonight. The old bridfge. Alone." The phone call ended. I shuddered. He wants money, but only wants me to come and give it to him. Ten thousand."

Kayson. James. King.
Alexa or James. That was how it looked. He would have to pay 10 grand to someone who had kidnapped James and have a chance of losing them both once more? He shook his head, eyes shutting and squeasing tight. He could easily pay the money, but would he let Alexa take it?
"Okay," he rasped as if he had been crying. "Okay..." he sighed, turning the car around and thinking hard, There had to be somehting.

Alexa Collins "We will find a way, Kayson. Maybe if we think about this, we can get there cops involved, just have them waiting out of sight until I've gotten James safely behind me. They'd have to use unmarked cars though," I said, thinking hard. "It does not sound like they want to hurt me at the moment, so this might be the right time to get the cops in there, before they can hurt me." I smiled. I was sure that it was the right thing to do at the moment. "But if they're armed..." Talila started. "I'll worry about that if I have to," I told Talila.

Kayson blinked, looking from one to the other. Alexa..he thought in desperation but then remembered James. He pondered it for a moment, large hand running though the thick locks before replying. "Okay...lets get home and talk about it," he decided already planning bits and pieces in his head. They needed to both be safe. He flashed Talila a look and knew she was thinking the same thing. He didn't smile but gave Alexa's knee a resuring pat before pulling back into there driveway.

Alexa Collins “I know we cannot get the cops involved but there will be a way," I mused. I knew this was going to be hard. I did not want my family any more than it had been. I loved them all and with the flight only days away, this had happened at a bad bad time.
I sighed as i thought about the problem at hand all the way back home We only had a few hours before I had to go and meet them with the money.

Kayson nodded, closing his eyes and rubbing his wrinkled forehead. He was worried and had every right to be. "I'll go to the bank and get the money out..." he said finally and jumped out of the car. He looked at the time, he had 20mins.
He turned to Alexa, looking at her with all the love and worry an ablebody was able to hold. "Something...good will come of this," he said gently, giving her cheek and peck and ran back to the car. "I'll wont be long..."

Alexa Collins I nodded and watched as he got out of the car. I could not beleive home much the guy wanted just to give my kid brother back to me unhurt. There had to be something else planned that he knew and i did not. There was no chancve he would do this without bothering to have some backup plan. I knew the cops would have to be involved.

He dropped by the bank first, ignoring the odd glances as he withdrew $10 000. But, he was quick for he went straight to the police station. None knew that he was involved, it was only Alexa's face they knew.
He knocked on the front station, speaking quietly with the officer on duty befor ebeing directed into another room. An older, tried and worn looking police officer entered and sat across from him. "Young Kayson, I haven't seen you in years!" he said somewhat cheerfully and Kayson couldn't help but smile. "I know uncle, but things have kept us both busy," he said and they both nodded. He wasn't really his uncle, just a close friend of his dead father/.

Alexa Collins I sat there in the car waiting for him to come back. I knew things were not going to go easily this time. This was something i had not easy time thinking about. I was too worried about my little brother.

He quickly hoped back into the car, squeasing Alexa's hand before pulling out of the parking space and quickly getting back home. "Come on, we have a few hours yet," he said quietly and looked at Talila. "And you can get settled in..," he said gently, unsure what else to do. There was nothing, he had his plan now and was comfortable in it. He chucked a bag into Alexa's lap, motioning for her to open. "Money's in there, can you count it? make sure I got it all," he asked

Alexa Collins My hands moved quickly, it did not taken me long to count the money out. At least that was one thing i was good at. "What took you so long? Its all tehre." I still could not believe he was willing to do this. Again I did not deserve him at all. I was worried more than anything that something would go wrong.

Kayson flashed her a look, for once not smiling, and sighed. Nothing, he would stop at nothing to get James back. Even if it ment putting himself in danger. But he knew, that he could never ever put Alexa in danger. Even if she wanted to be.
"I just ran into somebody," he said, hating that he had to lie to her. Someday, he would tell her what he had done. But at the moment, she was being watched. "Old friend," he added

Alexa Collins I knew people were watching me, so I said nothing about the fact I knew he was lying. I knew he'd tell me later when all of this was over and done with. All I wanted was for James to be returned to me safely. That was the priority here.
Kayson knew that as well. I sighed, knowing this was hardly easy for him to deal with, He cared about my whole family, excluding my chaos bringing father.
"We'll find a way through this. I know we will. Nothing has stopped us before, you know that."
