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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0bJP9Vzta
Oh my God!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnahY4LWNX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1xHb0LKBX
Shauna!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchwzs2rGN9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cOvLUkPMd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRZ5nhGSz4
Ashley had a creeping, crawly feeling come over her that she couldn't shake. But gathering her courage she spoke again.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwUgT3MH9P
Hello?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVInfcsPSPT
"Is anyone here?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFjFu2vygI
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘚 𝘗𝘓𝘈𝘊𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52LXK9Cpej
Cried an arresting voice, filled with wrath.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lHuZ3WXNE
𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘞!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmMB3pci5K
Ashley was pale with fright, she nearly jumped out of her body.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGBF5E77AF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqR0EQo68E
The place was dimly lit but she could see a slight figure lurking in the darkness. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjDCvpsa1G
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapxrcdHG2g
I need to know how you obtained it.
"Did she sell it to you?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9RN0KhmW5
"Are you deaf?" The voice said, didn't you see the sign on the door?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixt2663Li
"We're closed!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8EDARa0TW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VGpElr7ez
"Well, replied Ashley the door wasn't locked."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG5QXZj7ta
Furthermore,
I am not leaving until I get some answers! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqsxhWgogi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdapxml1f
𝘞𝘈𝘐𝘛 𝘙𝘐𝘎𝘏𝘛 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘙𝘌!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYjzuvcRoQ
Wow! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK7ct3Ikyl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm37dbnWKo
Why! 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbUjfDM0fp
"You're just a little old man, exclaimed, Ashley! She seen him discreetly putting a microphone away inside a drawer."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeOVSWityI
Oh!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHVSZmaiNf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ae7km8PPV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3bicB7eC5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5FCmqvHJ1
Ashley felled to the floor, her consciousness fading. A tall oriental, robust man was leaning over her clasping a slap jack.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM6GHNd3RQ
"What!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5UgpOitMg
What did you do that for?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYMXTm3gtY
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHwRG1lRZg
Listen shorty, if you screw up my operations you might not live to tell the tale. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4EEj9gZYz
"My name isn't shorty, it's Miguel!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0CyayTdwe
What shall we do now? 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqMvoEDOQ6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPkGD3tgYQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgRx9uvJIR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SmZC8FZPV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sSdssqF9c
Akeno bellowed, take her below deck and tell Santiago to come up here and pay me my money for her!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfqzfZ0Wd1
𝘗𝘰𝘸!299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHzQsljkF
A bullet suddenly went whizzing by Akeno's ear.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPKjTW3xTu
𝐏𝐨𝐰! 𝐏𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰, 𝐩𝐨𝐰299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR6fWmzNF0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnbNmBOrdG
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17OjlcChQ9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAprv79pm2
