A Love Lost, A Love Found
Part 35
Towers
The elevator ride up to Penthouse F is quiet. Once inside the room, they check
for any signs of intrusion. None noted.
"It's safe. Make yourself at home."
"Good. I was starting to get hot." Danny gets out of the wheel chair
and removes the hat and wool coat. He goes to the bathroom to remove the fake
beard. Splashing cool water on his face, Danny looks at himself in the vanity
mirror. "Don't worry Michelle. This will all be over very soon."
Back in the living area of the suite, Roger is pouring himself a drink when
Danny re-emerges. "Care for a drink?"
"No thanks, but I'd like some food. And my wife."
"I'd taken the liberty of ordering before I left the hospital. I'm working
on the latter. How about you David? Drink?"
David is checking in with Frank. "Hold on Frank...no. I'm fine. Okay
so..."
"Alright. Danny, do you have any idea where your mother could have
gone?" Roger asks turning his attention back to his guest.
"No. Pilar's note said she knew they were in West Virginia, but didn't know
where Carmen was going or her plans. One thing I do know is that no matter how
deep my mother is into this, someone else is in even deeper. And that's not
good. Which is why she sent Pilar back to safety. You said Bridget will have
some new information. I'm anxious to hear what it is."
David is re-reading Pilar's note. Ray had asked Buzz Cooper to give it to Frank.
He also warned Buzz that something was going on that involved Michelle's safety.
Buzz was convinced this was the truth because Bridgette had already been by with
the same story. So he told Frank over a cup of coffee everything he knew...all
the suspicions and theories.
Frank, David, Danny and Roger laid out a plan...or trap if you will. They will
use every resource to clear this up. Once everything is in place, the chips will
begin to fall. And hopefully, Danny and Michelle will be safe and happy in the
end.
"Well Frank says everything's a go," David informs them. "All
parties have agreed to help. And there's still no sign of Dinah, Roger. Just so
you know."
"I'm not worried about her anymore. Hart's going to make it and that's all
that matters."
Danny jumps up when there's a knock at the door. Roger motions him and David to
go to one of the bedrooms. He then answers the door.
"Delivery for Thorpe."
"Yes. Come in. Set it up. I'll be right back." Roger heads to the
sleeping area.
"Danny. David. It's just the food. Go on out."
David says, "I think I'll freshen up in the other bathroom." He
departs.
"Go on and eat Danny. I've got to do some checking on Hart. Then I'll join
you."
Danny nods okay and goes back into the living area.
"Now that's a feast."
"The food?"
He walks to his wife taking her in his arms. "You of course my dear.
You."
