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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJNvq5sjSk
Oh my God!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZxRtcWJNI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgw5XvokHK
Shauna!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi436yASOQ2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj96N1ZEXY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKfjRMxxmX
Ashley had a creeping, crawly feeling come over her that she couldn't shake. But gathering her courage she spoke again.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQPHeHffwT
Hello?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7KD1i70rO
"Is anyone here?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE9Sw3Bqiv
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘚 𝘗𝘓𝘈𝘊𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzYhkTzYhT
Cried an arresting voice, filled with wrath.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVVFwcgIzZ
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeUvHFwoq3
Ashley was pale with fright, she nearly jumped out of her body.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbowrAgV9c
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Tg9dtg6K
The place was dimly lit but she could see a slight figure lurking in the darkness. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs2zH6m4u7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVfDKHDtvr
I need to know how you obtained it.
"Did she sell it to you?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcwX0fo3MU
"Are you deaf?" The voice said, didn't you see the sign on the door?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04yE6HfTyv
"We're closed!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcVIy7ACIp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRZFarl74
"Well, replied Ashley the door wasn't locked."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMQLBgYlLZ
Furthermore,
I am not leaving until I get some answers! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJGT5YC22E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh0yXsrNY7
𝘞𝘈𝘐𝘛 𝘙𝘐𝘎𝘏𝘛 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘙𝘌!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrJIf5datG
Wow! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZCvQh8w1z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyi3aOW9SC
Why! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79kMgwjqCR
"You're just a little old man, exclaimed, Ashley! She seen him discreetly putting a microphone away inside a drawer."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoZAnnrjBZ
Oh!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOg7liniJ3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoej5ybjsuY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxtdjsbw4n
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8vBzV2LvV
Ashley felled to the floor, her consciousness fading. A tall oriental, robust man was leaning over her clasping a slap jack.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxDmuGfy8B
"What!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqefUffGO8
What did you do that for?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ6lk9ZeYB
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7r4CR7hpZ
Listen shorty, if you screw up my operations you might not live to tell the tale. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdDwqTLA0g
"My name isn't shorty, it's Miguel!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzBXUb2W4o
What shall we do now? 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQyTHHvumt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58zqifbxLi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFOl5rQ56T
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMom1YuMqkJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F94AUXynR
Akeno bellowed, take her below deck and tell Santiago to come up here and pay me my money for her!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpded5ANqr
𝘗𝘰𝘸!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vfgJVaUQe
A bullet suddenly went whizzing by Akeno's ear.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztWGfPLWEF
𝐏𝐨𝐰! 𝐏𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc0LrcQ4xF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZoAaDNgYk
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW8HSidz6P
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6zKtncftJ
