Epilogue Pt. 2 – Brave New World

—St. Claire  – One Month Later—   

“Did we get the parts for the Shelby?” Gavin asked, going over the list of inventory as Ray locked the garage doors and pulled them shut.

“Not yet. I spoke with our distributor. He said he’ll have a shipment by Friday so we should get ours this Monday.”

“Sounds good.”

“Hey, Gav, you got a phone call.”

“Take a message!”

“I tried. The chick says it’s urgent.”

Epilogue Pt. 1 – Out to Sea

—Suvadiva Resort, Maldives  – One Week Later—

“Reservation for Mr. & Mrs. D’Amico.” Alexa stood beneath the sheer awning enjoying the smell of the ocean and the relaxing island life surrounding them. Taking a few steps forward, she felt the soft, golden sands slink between the soles of her sandals and looked down at the sparkling turf with a smile. A light breeze skirted more gravel across her toes and she slowly reached down to brush it away. Cool, crystal clear waters and warm, sunny temperatures was not what she expected when she stepped off the boat in the middle of December, but it was paradise. “Here you are, Mr. D’Amico. Please let us know if you need anything during your stay.”

Season 5 Recap

Alexa and Kasper learned of a member of WET’s Board of Directors, Jennifer Barnes. They broke into her home and held her at gunpoint until she gave up the members who put the target on the Starks, but Alexa got more than she bargained for: an entire black box of information.

Chapter 10: Bloodlines

“What is taking so long?” Alexa growled leaning against the car door. They were tracking Malcolm Foster’s movements but the computer screen in front of her indicated he hadn’t left his office. Three hours had passed since Kasper made the call to inform the final WET CEO of their demands but, he didn’t seem in too big of a rush to meet the ransom.

“Relax, A. Foster will do as he’s told or else.”

“Or else what? What did you do, K?”

“Whatever was necessary to ensure we got what we wanted. I added a little incentive for Malcolm Foster so he knew we meant business.”

“What does that mean, Kasper?”

“Jerome,” Alexa’s eyes widened and she took a threatening step forward.

“Jerome who?”

Chapter 09: At What Price?

“Hey, hey, good, you’re back!” Kasper said as Alexa stepped in the front door. She dropped a couple of grocery bags to the counter and started over towards him, smiling at the way he was eagerly waving her over. “Come here I wanna show you something.”

“What is it?”

“Well, I think I may have found a way to get the cash we need right here and now.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. We use blackmail.”

“Blackmail?”

“Exactly. It’s perfect.  We can get the money we need to get our asses to Dubai or wherever you want to go.”

Chapter 08: Snow Job

Kasper admitted he had passed over the name a handful of times in his tireless research on WET. Alexa as well remembered seeing it but, neither could have guessed he was who they had been looking for. If it had been a snake, it would have bit them. Chris Cyrus was a man of many talents. Listed as Director of Asset Retention, he was described as the kind of employee any company would be lucky to have. However, it was his other background that piqued their interest.

“He’s Special Forces, A,” Kasper started as he reviewed the information on his screen. “And by that I mean Delta. He is listed as still being in the reserves but, his file was transferred to the DOJ in 2001. It was around this time he became an employee of WET and from what I can see of his passport, he gets around…a lot.”

Chapter 07: Closing In

Renee Szymanski was easy. Had Alexa not been in such a rush the first time she crossed his path, she’d have finished him off then. But, there were children’s lives at stake and she didn’t want to waste time on the torture these WET executives deserved.

And now with nothing but time on her hands, Alexa had finished the job. He’d begged, he’d bargained, he’d cried and in the end, he’d soiled himself like so many of them do. Had she the capacity for sympathy she might have stopped to think about her victims but, that would be affording them a kindness they never considered for their own victims; numbers that towered into the thousands. Innocent women, children, and men who were casualties in their war for money and power.

Chapter 06: No Time for Games

“Night, night, sweetheart,” the man growled. Alexa heard the slide lock into place behind her and counted down from three as she prepared to strike.

Just then, Kasper popped up from his cart and fired down at the gunman. The man jumped, aiming up towards the wild shooter and Alexa took the opportunity to attack. Tackling into the man, she knocked him back and away. He fell against the wall of the Thunder Coaster and she quickly scrambled for his gun, firing once into his head.

Racing back to the controls, Alexa flipped the switch on the ride and it grinded to a start, lowering Kasper to the ground. “Thank you,” she said, retrieving her weapon from him.

“Don’t mention it. Now perhaps we should…?”

Chapter 05: A Cornered Snake

Alexa swiftly ducked behind a large plant sitting in the corner of the hall. “MELISSA!” Gavin cried in shock as he looked down at the unconscious body of his baby sister. Lifting her from the floor, he hurried her inside his apartment and shut the door.

Alexa let out a sigh of relief. As she turned for the stairs, she could hear two voices inside; one distinctly feminine. Alexa waited a moment longer before quietly exiting to the alley and Kasper’s awaiting car. “You get her squared away?” he asked with a hint of disdain.

“Yeah, all good. Let’s go.”
