Revenge of the Reprimanded Son-in-law

Chapter ten

"What do these kidnappers want anyways? I have nothing of theirs" 

"They could be after the money. Or you know this new deal" 

"The new deal? What about it?" Natasha asks 

"Well, turns out a lot of people want this partnership deal and will do whatever it takes to take a competition out of the game" 

"What?" 

"Yes, it's nothing new. We done that a couple of times, just less dangerous" Mrs. Williams said smiling. 

"Really mom?" 

"It's all business, honey." 

"Can at least call Gonzalez?" Natasha begged 

"No, dear. The call could be tracked, it's too risky. I am so sorry, but you will see your husband soon" Mrs. Williams assured 

"You do know I still have to work towards us partnering with G & G right?" Natasha asked 

"Yes, we will work towards that. Not to forget, you promised me that deal" 

"I cannot forget that, I will get us that deal, that I am sure of" Natasha assured 

(Mag's Media Company) 

"Good morning, ma'am" Carissa started 

"And what is so good about the morning? Why do I hear things? That a lot has been occurring and we haven't written a single thing about it?" Margaret questioned. 

Margaret was the C.E.O and founder of the Mag's Media Company. She always wanted her company to be the first to report the news or trending issues in the city. 

"I'm sorry ma'am, I am working on it" Carissa apologized 

"Alright, will see how you handle it. Didn't I put you in charge if the Williams family?" 

"Yes ma'am" 

"So, what changed?" Margaret asked Carissa

"Uh, the source disappointed me"

"It us why I put you there, to not give me words as disappointment. You better get there and make things right or get an exclusive interview with any of the family members" Margaret ordered walking off 

"You do that or you risk losing your job" Margaret warned

As Margaret returned to her seat, she thought of all the ways and things she could do to get an interview out of the Williams or Gonzalez. There would be too many people over at the houses so no need going there. 

"Yes?" Carissa started when she answered the phone 

"The crowd is beginning to disperse" the caller had said to her 

"Anything on their end?" 

"Nothing, they all remained indoors" 

"And Mr. Gonzalez?" Carissa asked

"Still indoors but we are hanging around believing sooner or later, he will step out as he looked quite in a hurry earlier on" 

"Okay, thank you so much" Carissa thanked. 

And then she had it, she did! She remembered all the interviews Mrs. Williams had when her daughter had gotten married to Mr. Gonzalez, perhaps she still had that hatred for him. She would use it to her benefits. 

"Mike, it has been a while" Carissa said over the phone. Mike was a friend of hers but he was a cop, a good one at that.

"You have headlines and I have the people to protect, we can't always have time" Mike noted 

"I need your help" Carissa responds, going straight to business 

"Sure, anything for you"

"I need the phone numbers for one Mrs. Williams?" Marissa begged 

"The Mrs. Williams?" Mike gasped 

"Yes, her. Why?" 

"Well, she is very influential and has top cops here on her payroll, getting information on her like that would not be easy" Mike stated 

"But you can do it, cos you're the best at what you do" Carissa praised, she knew his weaknesses. 

"Of course, I can do it. And I am only doing this because you asked me to" 

"Yes, I know. Forgive me but I'm hoping this should be the last" 

(The Williams' Residence) 

"Yes?" Mrs. Williams started

"Am I speaking with Mrs. Williams?" 

"Yes, how can I help you?" 

"My name is Carissa and I am a journalist with Mag's Media and Company" Carissa introduced 

"I should have known you were  journalist, do not call this number again, I have nothing to say to you" 

"Wait!" Carissa screamed 

"I know you hate Gonzalez, I would hate him too if he did to me what he did to you, no one should ever had to go through that" and Carissa knew she had her attention, just when and where she needed it. 

"What are you insinuating?" Mrs. Williams asked

"I am not insinuating anything ma'am, I am only saying what both of us already know, that Gonzalez is ungrateful and a failure" Carissa added 

"What do you need?" An excited Mrs. Williams asked, finally someone who understands her and she finds it in a journalist! 

"An exclusive interview" Carissa started

"Just an interview?" 

"Just an interview" Carissa assured

"Hope I don't have to mention Gonzalez so people wouldn't paint me as being the bad person" 

"Not at all. I promise you, that as I live and breathe, no questions about Gonzalez would be asked 

"Sounds like a great plan, just set the date and time and I'll be there. Nice to talk to you, eh..." Mrs. Williams muttered

"Carissa, the name's Carissa" 

"Ah, yes" Mrs. Williams agreed 

"Who was that Carissa?" Natasha asked 

"Oh, no one" 

"Mom? Are you hiding something from me?" Natasha asks 

"No, why would you utter such words?" Mrs. Williams asked offended 

"You have been behaving strangely, and too nice as well" Natasha noticed

"Haven't you always wanted me to be this way?" 

"Yes, but not when it looks so forced. You are very well trying to hide your distraught at this" Natasha noted 

(At G & G)

"Thank you, Mr. Davies, I couldn't have left the house without your help" 

"It's nothing, sir. I would do it a thousand times and over" Mr. Davies bowed 

"How are we looking today?" 

"Few clients, should be done early today.  You don't have to go home" Mr. Davies said 

"What if my wife comes back home today?" Gonzalez asks 

"About that, there is something you must know" Mr. Davies noted 

"Go on, I'm listening" 

"I know you had said to let you handle this on your own and I respect that but the truth since since the day we found, I didn't want to let you out of sight so I had people follow you and your wife around..." Mr. Davies explains 

"Where is she?" Gonzalez interrupted 

"She has been and is currently at the Williams family residence."
