Jake was having the time of his life at home, for the first time in weeks there was no trouble for him to go handle or company issue that required his presence.Anything that comes up at the office will be taken care of by Max for the day, he was living the life, he could not go to the office for a full year and life would still run smoothly for him,but he was not ready to risk that, that's why he chose to give himself a full week's off from anything official.Besides it would be nice to get to know his sister better, and he suspected something between Max and Cassandra ever since the consortium's anniversary, they were too close for two people that just metHe would keep a close eye on them at the resort, who knows what he might find and for the detective, there was no particular reason for him wanting her to be there, she just came to his mind and he thought it would be a good idea if she was present, he would think about the plan later.He spent the day m, drinking a bottle of his

When they got to the beach Max was surprised at the way Cassandra took his hand at lightning speed leading him away from the group. He heard Sarah call to her and Cassie's response."How did you know that I am familiar with this place?".Cassandra continued pulling him away, sometimes Max's questions to her are baffling, ?"I just figured, since you've been into the business more than brother".Max liked Cassandra, even the way she was mean and talked to Jake always made him laugh, to him there was nothing wrong with her attitude and he enjoyed spending time with her."You know your brother would be suspicious" he said carefully, he did not want her to think something of him.She continued pulling him leading the way like she knew where they were heading to,"suspicious of what exactly?".Max was a bit hesitant with his response, “You know, suspicious of us, he might wonder why we had to leave the group when you planned the activities of the week".Cassandra stopped her movement but sti

Cassandra's mind was in turmoil when she hit the water, this time the water entered her mouth directly and she tasted pure salt. It was like a jar of salt was opened and poured into her mouth.The rushing feeling was still in her stomach but she could not throw up, she could swim but she was weak and terrified, this was the end for her, she should have listened to Max when he advised her against eating another round of crustaceans.She tried to hold the board but her body failed her, her hand was tangled by something but she could not make out what it was, with time it became hard for her to breathe and then she lost consciousness.She did not know when Max brought her out and put her on the boat after sometime she started hearing a voice, and she tried opening her eyes but the vision was blurry, and there was no way to make out who was in front of her.Max came into view but he was inaudible to her, his mouth just moved and it was hard to grasp the statement he was making even as she

Jake and Sarah stood immobile, the words coming from Fred sounded foreign to them."I said you both should sit your ass down" Fred shouted, he was still sitting comfortably and smoothened his collar again, squeezing his face at the wrinkle Jake caused by grabbing him.They obeyed and moved like zombies, waiting for Fred to go on with his next words but nothing came from him, the room was completely quiet, Jake and Sarah were having different thoughts running through their minds.Their anxiety was at its peak as Fred kept them waiting, why was he being so foolish?, Sitting before the and not saying anything?, They wondered.Fred was enjoying the look on their faces, that sad look, that they could not tell what was coming next. He enjoyed the feeling he gave them as they didn't have any option but to be patient with him and do as he ordered.The wait was beginning to bore him and he was tired of looking at their faces so he started talking, "You might be wondering why I am here, I had a

Sarah squeezed shoulder from behind,"We are going to find them, I know so".Jake could do nothing but stay positive, waiting for the manager to be through with his call, as soon as the manager dropped the phone Jake asked him if they were ready to move.The search party was divided into three, Jake insisted that Sarah be with him and not any other team. And so they left for the three caves to carry out their rescue mission.In the cave where Cassandra and Max are tied up, three men stood watching them, it's not like they would escape if they left because their hands and feet were securely tied up.Max's body ached and one of his hands was twisted as a result of the stomping he got from those guys. Cassandra too was shocked at the inhumane treatment they received from their abductors.After Fred left them in the hands of his men, she tried thinking of a means to escape but there was none, the only way out was directly through the men and it was risky.Max was in no shape to even escape
