Episode 15

 

Simone was the first to react turning to her secretary and demanding what had just happened. She took one of the candles that ornamented the table and used it to walk up to the stage she had meant to use at 10:00 to give a speech. She stood at the podium ready to calm everyone’s fears when she suddenly felt lightheaded and lost her balance falling off stage.

<><><><><><> 

 

When the lights went out, Tina was in the ventilation system flash light and gun in hand. She had changed in to a black nylon body suit and had night vision goggles poised on top of her head. She pulled the goggles over her eyes looking around. She could hear the people below her and as she walked a long the beam, she tried to think about not falling.

<><><><><><> 

 

Lorene looked at Tori in the darkness. “What do you want?”

 

“I want you to stay away from Garrett Porter; people could be tracking him looking for you.”

 

“Who are you?” Lor asked suspiciously

 

“I’m FBI…WPP is being swamp right now, and they needed some assistance.”

 

“So I get stuck with the FBI…that makes sense.” Lor rolled her eyes heading toward the kitchin. She was feeling her way when she heard a curse behind her.

 

“You know…I don’t like this job anymore then you do, but until Garrett leaves town and we’re sure no one comes after you, you’re stuck.”

 

“I’m sure.” Lorene continued down the hallway leaving Tori stumbling behind.

<><><><><><> 

 

Ann looked at John who was holding her arm. They had been dancing, an excuse to talk in private, when the lights had gone out. She looked at John. “I think something’s up.”

 

“What? What is it?”

 

“Not sure, I need to find Cassie.” Ann grabbed John’s hand dragging him through the darkness.

<><><><><><> 

 

Simone work looking up into the eyes of Garrett Porter. He had been there to catch her when she made the embarrassing mistake of fainting on stage. Someone shined a flashlight in her eyes and she recognized that it was Jacob.

 

“Are you ok, darling?”

 

“I’m fine,” Simone winced trying to get up but instead closed her eyes. “Not so much,” she mumbled.

 

Jacob nodded pulling out his cell phone to call a paramedic.

<><><><><><> 

 

Tina pulled one of the pieces of ply wood from the girded ceiling thinking that for 1000 dollars a plate Hi-Wit was using a really cheap facility.  She moved the plywood adjusting her goggles and focusing down on the crowd below her.

 

Everyone was crowded near the stage around a girl lying on the floor. Searching the crowd she found Nikki still sitting at her table, but Ann and John were somewhere else. She looked around until her eyes caught sight of Cassie. She stopped. Tin could see Cassie was talking to Ann in the darkness, but there was someone behind her. It was still a clear shot.

 

Tina grabbed the gun balancing along the beam. She moved to stand up, but her body suit got caught on a screw head. Kneeling in an awkward position Tina aimed her gun at her target.

<><><><><><> 

 

Ann stood looking at her grandma, her hand on her arm to make sure she was talking to the right person. “Cassie, have you called the limo yet?”

 

“Yeah, but why is there all the rush? The lights will come on in a minute.”

 

John turned on the mini-light to his watch. “Ms. Spence it’s been an hour.”

 

“Yeah, so let’s get out of here. We’ll find a nice diner or something.” Ann looked at Cassie desperate. “Besides I think I might have changed my mind.”

 

Ann felt Cassie tense she imagined the look of pleasure on her face. Cassie opened her mouth to saw something when a shot rang out. People started to scream rushing toward the door. John hooked his arm around Ann, but she wouldn’t move.

 

“Ann, we have to get out of here.”

 

“No…no Cassie—she’s been shot!” Ann screamed as the lights came back on and she saw Cassie on the bleeding from her gun shot wound.
