"Alaina, Alaina, open the door, I left my spare on your kitchen counter, Alaina? Cody? Cody?" Yvetta called out suspiciously. She became more agitated when she did not hear Cody bark or make a noise. James grabbed the gun from the nightstand and Alaina held onto his arm and pleaded for him not to harm Yvetta. "I will do anything you ask, please don't hurt her, she's just a neighbor, please, I'll tell her to go away" she cried to James. "Not good enough, put on some clothes and we will go where no one will interrupt us, I'll send your neighbor away with this if you don't hurry up", James snapped waving the gun. Alaina hurriedly threw on a sweatshirt and jeans and wiped off the blood on her neck and face and called out "Be there in a sec, Yv, just a sec" trying to mask the stress in her voice. "I don't hear Cody, are you okay, sweetie?" Yvetta hollered from the door. "Yes, yes, I'm okay, just a moment, Cody is out back" Alaina answered, her voice cracked saying her dog's name. James grabbed her elbow and patted his waist to indicate that was where the gun is and to warn her not to give him a reason to kill Yvetta. Alaina nodded, her heart beating wildly. Alaina opened the door for Yvetta as Martin stood next to her, covering Cody from coming to Yvetta's view. "Oh, who is this?" Yvetta asked when she saw James, "Oh my god, sweetie, what's wrong?" she added upon seeing Alaina's face. "I slipped in the tub and hit my head, this gentleman is Martin Green's security detail guy and his name is James Traynor, Yvetta, security, you know, he will bring me to the hospital, I'll call you later, I'm in good hands, he is a security guard, like the police," Alaina stammered nervously. James pushed out Alaina and gruffly closed the door behind him, before Yvetta can come in and shook his head and said, "Ma'am, we have to go" and pushed past her dragging Alaina like a rag doll. "Keep moving or she's dead" he whispered on Alaina's ear. Yvetta watched as James and Alaina got in the Benz and for some odd reason, something just told her to memorize the license plate. She turned the doorknob to see if it was locked when James pushed Alaina out and to her surprise, it was unlocked. Yvetta ran in and screamed upon seeing Cody's lifeless, bloody body. She dialed 911 and repeated everything Alaina said at the door. The operator noted everything especially the repetition of the word "security". The 911 call was immediately patched through Washington State Troopers and the King County Sheriff's. Yvetta was instructed to wait at Alaina's place for the Bellevue police.
Lily caressed the Monster lovingly, grinning ear to ear when she heard a static on one of her hacked routers. She turned up the volume and listened jotting down notes; "State Troopers, KCS, this is an emergency broadcast, be on the lookout for a black SL65 AMG Mercedes heading Westbound on 405. License plate 345 DBF, repeat 345 Delta Bravo Foxtrot, reported abduction, car theft, suspect's name is James Traynor, last seen with an Alaina Gold. Suspect is armed and dangerous, approach with extreme caution". "Holy Fuck! I knew firecrotch was psycho!" Lily blurted. Firecrotch is a name she coined for James. "See you later, Monster" she said to her brand new motorcycle and headed to the elevator. Lily got in the elevator and pressed the 10th floor button. The elevator stopped in the main lobby and in walks Martin Green. "Lily, as I live and breathe, my computer wiz, I take it you got your present?" Martin chided her. "Yes, sir, boss, I am so grateful, you can't imagine. You're the super boss of all time, you are superfly, sir!" Lily said quirkily. Martin laughed. He has in his staff, his own brand of "the girl with the dragon tattoo and then some", he snickered to himself. His laughter turned to anger and horror when Lily mentioned what she overheard on the police line. "Sir, you know the troopers and KCS may not get to Traynor in time because 405 is bumper to bumper right now, sorry sir, but your Benz is gone" Lily blabbered on. "I just knew Gingy is a freaking psycho, boss, and a thief, and that gravel voice and that loose ass, old man skin, all dotted with freckles and liver spots, you can't even tell the diff..." Lily went on but Martin stopped her with, "they said Alaina Gold was with him? Come on Lily! Are you sure?" he snapped. "I'm sure sir, nice name, can't mistake it", Lily said. "Who is she, anyway?" Lily innocently asked. "Just possibly the future Mrs. Green" Martin said, surprising even himself.
"Can you cross hack the GPS system in the Benz, Lily?" he asked. "Fuck yeah, sir, gimme your phone", Lily immediately said. They both got off the elevator on the main floor and Martin yelled at the 4 suits in the lobby. "You, call Denver headquarters and cancel my meeting with Slim, you, call Eric and cancel the flight, you, call SSA Pepper and get the blotter on 405 West activity" he ordered before grabbing Lily who was sitting on the floor connecting her routers and uploading tracking info on Martin's phone. "Sir, your phone can track down the car as accurate and as close as 2 feet. Right now, the car is about 10 miles from here close to the floating bridge." Lily reported. "If you drive a car, sir, you won't get there for another hour since the cars are all jammed up", she added. "Let's take the Monster, sir!" Lily eagerly volunteered. "You're not coming with me, Lily, I can't endanger you like that", Martin exclaimed. "Sir, I have to or you will lose the connection without me recalculating the numbers on the router and you don't know how to ping the receiver when it changes signal", Lily explained. Martin didn't argue with her. The Ducati bolted out of Madison street like a rocket launched red blob as Martin sped off, Lily riding in the back. He cut across Interstate 90 while Lily yelled out the distance they were gaining on the Benz. "Sir good news, the car is stationary right on NE 8th and Redmond, they're not moving from the packed up cars", she yelled at Martin. Helicopters hovered above them making Lily's voice harder to hear, and Martin grew desperately rushed to close the distance between them and Alaina, as he weaved in and out of the cars piled up when they got to 405. When the Benz was within his vision, he yelled out to Lily, "What is the heaviest item you have, Lily?" he hollered. Lily grabbed a 12 USB connector box from her knapsack. "Will this do, sir?" she yelled back. Martin told her to switch position with him as Lily steadied the Ducati and tried to get as close to the Benz but an Escalade surged in between the freeway divider and the Benz. Before Martin lost his visual of Traynor and Alaina, he caught a glimpse of Alaina looking terrified while in the passenger seat. "Lily, slow down, get behind the Escalade and let me off", Martin ordered her. Lily protested he can lose a limb, but Martin wrapped the wires from the USB box on his hand and threw his leg over the bike and hopped off. Lily almost slammed to the van ahead of her but she managed to steady the bike and squeeze between the van and the Escalade. She saw Martin rushed besides the Escalade to cover Traynor's line of vision from the Benz.
James heard the police helicopters hovering above them, the troopers were on the opposite side of the freeway and he knew they won't get to him on time. He will blow his brains out but not before he slit Alaina's throat. He also saw what looked like Martin Green with Lily on a motorcycle. He will wait until Martin is close enough to see him cut the bitch. He held the knife to Alaina's neck and readied himself looking back at the motorcycle. And just like that, the motorcycle disappeared from his sight. He looked back frantically and the motorcycle reappeared behind a van. But it was only Lily on it. "Cutting you is more personal but this will fucking do" he raspily said to Alaina as he pointed the Glock at Alaina's temple. Alaina closed her eyes and as James pulled the trigger, the gun jammed and all James heard was Martin yelling "Traaaaynooor!" as Martin ran and came from the front of the Escalade and slamming an object through the driver's window of the Benz. Shards of glasses came flying towards James and he dropped the Glock as he put his arms up to protect his face while Alaina opened the passenger door and jumped out. Martin hauled him out of the car and threw him on the ground. James scrambled to his feet and lunged at Martin. Martin dropped his elbow on the back of James' head and stepped to the left and quickly gave him a body shot to the liver. James dropped to his knees, breathless and Martin cracked him again with an uppercut to the face as he flew backwards. "Stay down," Martin warned him. The troopers crossed the highway divider on foot and enclosed James with their guns drawn. James put his hands up as the troopers picked him up and slammed him onto the hood of the car and handcuffed him. Martin ran around the car, his eyes desperately searching for Alaina. Then he locked eyes with her as Lily was putting her leather jacket on her shoulders. The paramedics were 6 cars behind and can't get out of the traffic jam so the medics started rushing on foot. Alaina rushed into Martin's arms and cried uncontrollably. All Martin can do at that time was hold her and tell her how glad he is that she is okay. Her sobs wracked her shoulders and Martin felt her pain. He started kissing her hair, her forehead and her cheeks and he muttered "I am so sorry, baby". He felt Alaina went limp in his arms as she passed out, as the paramedics gained on them.
Charlene was in the middle of telling her assistant that Nordstrom's will be featuring 2 lines from their Winter Collection when she saw Martin on TV. "Turn it up, turn it up", she ordered one of her fitters. "Breaking News on a developing story, Billionaire Playboy Martin Green successfully subdued a kidnapper and car thief. The suspect is now in the custody of the King County Deputy Sheriffs and the victim is being transported via Chopper Medic One to Harborview Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition", the newscaster reported. There was a deafening silence within Charlene's office staff, then in unison, they all went, "Oh My God, Ms. Baxter, isn't that Mr. Green, your best friend?" Charlene nodded and grabbed her phone and dialed Martin's number. It went directly to voicemail. She then dialed Kyle's number and he immediately picked up. "Are you seeing this?" she asked him. Kyle was also watching and said "Char, Traynor tried to kill Alaina", he told Charlene. "Oh my god, it was Alaina? Is she alright?" she echoed. "I don't know", was Kyle's answer. "Where is Martin now?" Charlene asked, then answered her own question, "He will likely be at Alaina's side so I will meet you at the hospital, unless you just want to come get me at the office," she stated to Kyle. Kyle agreed, "I'll come pick you up in 15", he said.
Alaina woke up and saw white orbs of light indicative of a medical facility. Her eyes tried to focus on her surroundings when she saw a patch of bright purple by the door. The "patch of purple" disappeared behind the door partition and Alaina can hear a barely audible conversation going on. She tried to move her head for a better angle to see who was outside the room but she couldn't. Her head felt like it was made of lead. Frustrated, she slumped back down on the pillow. She can still hear the faint conversation in the hallway and as she turned her head, Martin Green appeared and walked in alongside the "patch of purple" and a nurse. Lily saw Alaina's eyelids flutter and slowly opened. She stared directly at her but seemed disoriented and can't really see her. Lily immediately stepped out onto the hallway and said, "Boss, she's up, boss", Lily called out to Martin. Martin told the nurses' station to call Dr. Stanton and told them Alaina is conscious. They walked in as the PA system came on. "Dr. Stanton, code blue, 3rd floor, Dr. Stanton, code blue, 3rd floor". Martin held Alaina's hand to his lips as the nurse asked him to move aside. The nurse explained she needed to check Alaina's vitals and her pupils. "You can proceed," the nurse sarcastically muttered to Martin afterwards. Lily rolled her eyes, "Sheesh, someone's got sand in her vagina!" she quipped sarcastically. Martin turned to Lily and motioned her to come closer to Alaina's bed. "Alaina, this brave young lady made sure I got to you in time. This is my tech guru, Lily Moore," Martin introduced Lily to Alaina. Alaina smiled faintly, her cheek still burns with the pain when James struck her. "Thank you, Lily. I owe you my life," she murmured softly. Lily took her hand and squeezed it lightly. "Nah, Ms. Gold, I just twiddled my thumbs, Mr. Green saved your life, it was really cool, jumped off the bike like a boss and swooshed, he was on gingy's ass like white on rice!" Lily animated and characteristically herself, recounted. Martin shook his head, and Alaina half laughed after hearing Lily speak.
