Smolder Lane Las Vegas Part VIII
Chris ends his call and Evie looks at him nervously.
“Well?” She practically screams.
“Some help is on its way. Seems they are in some warehouse,” he tells her.
“Thank you,” she sighs in relief. “Will they contact you when they are safe?”
“I asked them too,” he replies. Evie sinks down in her seat, some stress leaving her.
“Aren’t you curious where we are going?” He grins at her.
“I am hoping you will take me back to Las Vegas where my husband is,” she scowls at him.
“I told you, I want twenty four hours,” he reminds her
“Well when Brendan and the others find you, don’t blame me for the ass whooping you’ll receive!” She crosses her arms and stares out the window.
“You’re adorable when you pout,” he leans over and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Evie whips around and smacks him
“I like feisty,” he smirks. Evie frowns and wants to cry.

“Tell him, Taylor! Tell him right now!” Jlyn screams. The captain is at the door talking to one of his henchman.
“I have an idea,” Rob looks at the men. “Follow my lead?”
“What do I do?” Taylor whimpers.
“Shut up! That’s what you do,” Jlyn growls. The captain strolls over to the eight friends.
“Have our memories reminded us?” He asks.
“Yes,” Rob replies. “But I prefer not everyone to hear,” Rob looks at the two henchmen at the door. The captain narrows his eyes. “What are we going to do? We’re tied up to poles."
“Leave,” he snaps at the two henchmen who immediately leave the warehouse.
“Now,” the captain leans in towards Rob. “Tell me.” As the captain leans in Rob kicks the man in his groin, sending the man tumbling to the floor near Brendan, who jumps up, taking a dumbfounded Taylor with him. Brendan steps on the man’s throat
“I know you have a knife! Throw it to Craig!” Brendan yells. The man slowly takes out a pocket knife and tosses it to Craig. Within seconds he and LOTSLove are out of their ropes untying the others. Once they are all out, Orlando and Craig tie and gag the captain to a pole.
“That was awesome!” Jlyn exclaims and kisses Rob.
“Don’t celebrate just yet,” Caroline adds. “We have company,” she points to the door where several men are racing in.

“Chris, please,” Evie pleas on deaf ears.
“Evelyn,” Chris leans in, “you are mine for the next twenty four hours. You need to accept that.”
“But-”
“If you want to return to the others after twenty four hours, so be it,” He tells her. “But I highly doubt that.”
“You are too smug about all of this,” Evie frowns. “I just want to be with Brendan. I love him.”
“We’ll see about that,” he caresses her cheek. Evie huffs and sits back in her seat. Unless she found a parachute to jump out of the plane, she was not going anywhere. “Would you like some champagne?” He asks her and holds out a glass.
“Yes,” Evie says flatly and grabs the bottle and begins to drink from it as Chris chuckles.
“You always surprise me,” he grins.
“I should clock you in the face,” she hisses
“I prefer whips,” he winks. Evie scrunches her nose.
“Where are we going anyway?” She changes the subject
“New York,” he smiles.

“There’s only four, we can take them!” Craig rolls his sleeves up and grasps the knife.
“Says the man with the knife!” Taylor comments.
“Here!” Orlando notices some broken 2x4s on the floor and hands everyone one.
“We can pretend these are swords,” Brendan chuckles. The four men reach them as everyone swings their boards at them, minus Taylor who decides to scream. Rob and Jlyn take care of one. Orlando and Caroline knock out another. LOTSLove and Craig finish a third and Brendan handles the last one. Everyone catches their breath and looks at the men the knocked out and the squirming captain.
“Whoa ho!” Jlyn screams. “We rock!”
“Holla!” LOTSLove high fives everyone and then kisses her husband.
“Come here my hero!” Jlyn wraps Rob in a kiss.
“Legolas has nothing on you!” Caroline smirks and kisses Orlando.
“Don’t even think about it,” Brendan glares at Taylor who smiles innocently.
“Let’s get out of here and find Evie!” Jlyn says as they begin walking towards the door. They open the door to find a dozen police officers running towards them.
“Ah!” Taylor screams and jumps in Brendan’s arms.
“I don’t think so!” Brendan drops him.
“Stop!” One of the officers says. “These are the hostages.”
“We were the hostages,” Rob corrects them. “The villains are inside. We escaped.”
“Yeah. No one has to rescue us!” Jlyn says proudly. The officers’ nod and run inside the building
“How did they know where we were?” Orlando asks.
“Good question…” Craig furrows his brow.
“Who cares, as long as we are safe now,” LOTSLove clings to her husband.
“Now to find my wife…” Brendan sighs
“Where do we even begin?” Caroline asks.
“I don’t know,” Brendan sighs
“Well, if I was rich I would have a private jet or something,” Jlyn offers.
“She’s right. Let’s try the airport,” Rob agrees and they find a cab.
***
“New York!” Evie screeches. “Why!”
“I have my reasons,” he replies. “You will need to change.”
“Into what?” Evie furrows her brow.
“There is a box where you woke up, put the dress one,” he intructs her
“And what if I don’t want to?” She huffs.
“Then I will dress you myself,” he huffs back. Evie gulps and goes to the room. She finds the box with a long blue dress and heels inside
“How did he know my sizes?” She whispers and sighs. She really needed Brendan to swoop in and save her.
***
The eight friends rush to the airport to try and find some answers. They approach the information desk.
“May I help you?” The older blond lady asks.
“Yes, where do your private jets take off?” Brendan asks
“They usually use air field C,” she responds. “Are you looking for someone?”
“Chris Black,” Rob answers
“Oh, him,” the woman blushes. “He is such a handsome devil.”
“Do you know where he went?” Rob rolls his eyes
“I am not allowed to tell you,” the woman stiffens.
“Look here lady! His wife, who is also my sister, was on that jet! If you don’t tell him I will come across this counter and choke you! I don’t care if I go to jail! I have already been!” Jlyn yells at her. The woman gulps at the angry eyes of the people around her. She quickly begins typing.
“He was scheduled for New York,” the woman tells them quickly and quietly.
“Holy shit!” Rob exclaims. The others look at each other in confusion as what to do next...
“Well?” She practically screams.
“Some help is on its way. Seems they are in some warehouse,” he tells her.
“Thank you,” she sighs in relief. “Will they contact you when they are safe?”
