| (Howie’s View) Firebird reentered the room. She had some men with her. I guess they were her henchmen. We all remained silent hoping nothing would happen to us. She placed her gun on the table. I guess she was trying to make us a little less scared of her. Her henchmen did the same. I glanced at the others. They were watching her & the henchmen as I was. She turned towards us. “Well I guess I will tell you the truth.” She said in disgust. “As for where you are I won’t tell you, but I will tell you why you are here. You are here because I need a lot of money to get out of the country.” “So let me get this straight,” Kevin said “You kidnapped us so you can hold us for ransom & get all the money you need.” “Yes, but I am really shocked that pop singers are that smart. I thought they had all the money they needed to last a lifetime so they don’t need an education,” she said making us look like idiots. “That was the most stupidest thing I have ever heard,” A.J. said trying to find a way to get her back for the comment. “Well the first thing I have to do is find a way to let your families & management what we want so if you excuse us we will be back in a little while,” she said trying to hide her embarrassment. After she left we looked at each other & smiled for the first time during the time that we had been in here. “That women makes dumb blondes look smart,” Nick said as we all laughed. |
