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...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxbWO9rqZ4
Oh my God!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyZkwGgRvZ
It suddenly dawned on her where she had seen it! Around the neck of her best friend that she was traveling with!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMcf6TuAAm
Shauna!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaftvPUYbuU
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HwC9nHFFi
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?"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBGDnredb5
Ashley had a creeping, crawly feeling come over her that she couldn't shake. But gathering her courage she spoke again.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffUm3tqHjI
Hello?298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArk9ozq1u
"Is anyone here?"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1CrK3G2gz
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘚 𝘗𝘓𝘈𝘊𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXZqI6C18Q
Cried an arresting voice, filled with wrath.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBLX5u40dc
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwIskwCuYT
Ashley was pale with fright, she nearly jumped out of her body.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaEz8hkgkD
But with the thought that her friend might be in trouble, it gave her the strength to face whoever was behind the voice.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvcsPXO9VZ
The place was dimly lit but she could see a slight figure lurking in the darkness. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHAANfQBhv
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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUMXc9g87T
I need to know how you obtained it.
"Did she sell it to you?"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAin54Yc3rJ
"Are you deaf?" The voice said, didn't you see the sign on the door?298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYU1DzSvbM
"We're closed!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8hIEwBRn
Ashley's kickboxing instincts begin to stir. She was a kickboxing instructor at a local gym and far tougher than she looked.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgoql3HyGw
"Well, replied Ashley the door wasn't locked."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiiJogUBCE
Furthermore,
I am not leaving until I get some answers! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mpj9hCW4c
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AR4OpJ8D5
𝘞𝘈𝘐𝘛 𝘙𝘐𝘎𝘏𝘛 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘙𝘌!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO2U4wGJml
Wow! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00yiibI3VD
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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OMltA9dBM
Why! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwiZs1XB2i
"You're just a little old man, exclaimed, Ashley! She seen him discreetly putting a microphone away inside a drawer."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtjvLt9uhg
Oh!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ON6L1LRrq
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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWZDwhq46H
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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfIfCaOqJX
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!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic3lva2rxN
Ashley felled to the floor, her consciousness fading. A tall oriental, robust man was leaning over her clasping a slap jack.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8rtYxGZmv
"What!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx02TKX36RR
What did you do that for?298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JxSQUuCTL
"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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UqdSizauF
Listen shorty, if you screw up my operations you might not live to tell the tale. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31NNiMmBnR
"My name isn't shorty, it's Miguel!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Hw8Flb7D
What shall we do now? 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwGNU00FTk
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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OjsR3Uw0Q
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTBwR0MoNb
Out stepped two husky looking male Columbians wearing black bandanas that covered their faces. They removed Ashley from the limo just as Akeno arrived.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGJ3X52zYQ
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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxx9Cyh6Yc
Akeno bellowed, take her below deck and tell Santiago to come up here and pay me my money for her!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhczdbZn5xY
𝘗𝘰𝘸!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH6xt4q86B
A bullet suddenly went whizzing by Akeno's ear.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NHXBe5HEq
𝐏𝐨𝐰! 𝐏𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmPNzbPZu0
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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuLRqS5Nqe
"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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96KbnfYSON
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODrExLl7eS
