Samantha felt a little embarrassed after landing in Ethan's arms.

“Thank you!” She said to him as he helped her stand to her feet.

“How did you know I was here, were you following me?” She managed to ask him.

“Let's just say I decided to keep an eye on you after the incident with your friend.”

“So what was that about?” Ethan stared at her.

“I was supposed to meet Jethro here but instead these guys showed up.”

“Don't you think he sent them?” He asked, walking to one of the burly men.

“I'm going to ask you a question very nicely the first time but after that, I'm going to start breaking things. Who sent you?”

A few minutes later Ethan and Samantha left the diner. Ethan called Zack and had him pick up the two burly men.

Whoever sent the men made sure it could never be traced back to him if they were caught, so Ethan couldn't get much information from both men.

That's what happened!”“I reported the matter to the police department and the men are behind bars, you can call to find out.”Loretta listened and instantly became calm.“So how did you know she was in danger?”“I had a few guys in the area and they called me when they noticed Samantha being carried by some men,” he had to come up with an explanation.Loretta felt convinced after hearing Ethan's explanation.“So that means someone has been watching you?

    Jimmy heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the mobsters behind Ethan.“What took you guys so long?” He asked furiously.“Any second now and I would have been dead meat!”“You are still not off the hook yet!” Ethan squeezed one of his fingers, snapping it instantly.Jimmy yelled in pain.“You fools! Are you going to just stand there and watch him torture me!”One of the mobsters shot Ethan a kick that he easily blocked with his hand.Ethan responded with a counter move that sent the mobster into a nearby dumpster.Suddenly the leader of the mobsters signaled to the rest of his men to stop.“I apologize young master, I didn't know it was you,” the leader went on his knees, begging Ethan.The other mobsters looked at each other and wondered why their leader was kneeling down before Ethan.“How is it that you recognized me?” Ethan asked, frowning.The Gambino mobsters do a lot of collaborative work with the black axe, so I recognized your ring.“Ah..I see.”“Why are you backing up this scu

    An hour later Tim brought his findings about Jethro.Ethan studied the report before him with keen interest.“How accurate is this, Tim?” Ethan asked with raised brows.“Very accurate boss.” Tim assured him.“Okay, thank you, Tim.”“How can Samantha be rolling with the likes of this guy?” He wondered.Jethro had been arrested for countless crimes including, theft, kidnap, assault and murder.The guy was the worst kind of criminal and yet Samantha claimed they were friends.Ethan picked up his phone,“Tim, I want you to find out the connection between Samantha and Jethro.”After dropping the call, he cleared his table and left for Loretta’s office.Loretta was sketching the design for the new prototype when Ethan walked in.“Oh, I see you are working on the new device already!”“Yeah, since the first prototype you suggested has been so successful, I decided to take the second one very seriously,” she grinned.Ethan chuckled, “I'm glad you are taking it very seriously.

Now quit fooling around and get back to work.”There was another loud sound and this time around they both heard it.“I think I heard it this time, why don't I keep watch, while you go check it out.” The other man suggested.Justin frowned but summoned courage and went to look around.There was another loud sound followed by a scream.“Justin?” The other man called out but he got no reply.“What's going on here?” He yelled.He got up to go look around and that was when Ethan and Zack revealed themselves.“Who the hell are you guys?”Ethan didn't respond but rushed at him with an uppercut, incapacitating him instantly.Ethan rushed over to release Loretta while Zach tied up the two men.Ethan consoled her with a hug and led her to the Maserati.“Do you have any idea who they are?” Ethan asked.Loretta swallowed hard before responding, “
