Chapter Twenty-Five

Bear was checking out the spot were Hammond wanted Serenity to meet him at, and when he found out that there was plenty of cover for the others, he called the Manor and told Roland, “It's safe for Serenity to go meet Hammond, we'll have plenty of cover.”

Roland thanked him and as he hung up the phone he looked around the table and said, “Its on for today, Helga will take care of Amber and Chester has the money in that case for Serenity to take with her.”

Joey then asked, “But what if that bastard has a weapon, how safe will my sister be if he decides to shoot her?”

Cheyenne then said, “Hell Bear and I will be armed and Bear is a crack shot, hell he can shoot a fly off a match stick at one hundred yards.”

Joey then said, “What in the hell does that mean?”

Roland laughed and said, “Joseph, what Cheyenne means is that Bear can hit Hammond before he can shoot your sister, besides she'll be wearing a bullet proof vest just in case.”

Serenity looked at her brother and she said, “Joey I trust all of them with my life, so please doesn’t be such a pain in the ass, alright.”

Joey wanted to smack her, but instead he said, “Alright, I'll stop, but you can't blame me for worrying, hell we've just begun to know each other and I'm not about to let anyone take you away from me.”

Serenity went over to where he was sitting and she put her arms around his neck, gave him a hug, kissed his cheek, and said, “I love you and I'm not going anywhere, I've got a daughter who needs me and like you said we've just begun to get to know each other.”

Helga picked up Amber and she held her while Serenity gave her a kiss and hug and she said, “Mommy has to take care of something, but I'll be back soon, you be good for Helga.”

As she walked away, Serenity prayed that what she told her daughter was the truth and she would be coming back.

They all walked outside and got into Roland's Hummer and he drove to the area where Bear had parked his car, they all got out and Bear used his radio to let Roland know where he was.

They all went over to where Bear was and as they looked out towards where he was pointing he said, “That's the place where Serenity's suppose to be meeting Hammond and his son.”

Roland then handed Serenity his cell phone and he said, “Call Hammond and tell him that you need to meet him now, that if he doesn't come, well the deals off.”

Joey said, “Won't that piss him off?”

Seto then put his arm around Joey and said, “Listen, Roland knows what he's doing, please be quite or I'll take you back to the Manor to wait.”

Joey glared at Seto but he shut up and stood there with his arms crossed and it was all Serenity could do not to laugh at him. She called Hammond and said, “I have to meet you today, if you don't come then I guess the deals off, you see my step-father has offered to take Amber and me back to Germany to live.”

Hammond saw red, it took all his concentration not to start cussing at her, then he took a deep breath and said, “We'll be there in an hour and if this is a trick you'll live to regret it, I promise.”

Serenity then said, “It's not a trick, I'll be there.”

She gave Roland back his phone and then she said, “This had better go the way we want it, because if I lied to my daughter about coming back, I swear that all of you will be in so much trouble.”

Bear then said, “You'll see your daughter as soon as this is all over, now let’s go, I'll drop you off near the location and then I'll come back here.”

Serenity then smiled at her brother and followed Bear over to his car, got in and then they were gone. When they got close enough, Bear stopped his car and said, “I want you to wear this medallion, it has a microphone in it and we can hear everything that goes down, please don't do anything to piss this bastard off alright.”

Serenity kissed his cheek and as she opened the passenger side door, she said, “I'll try.” Then she got out and walked over to wait for Doug and his father to get there.

When Hammond parked his car, he took out his binoculars and looked around to make sure that Serenity was alone and then they got out of the car and walked over to where she was standing.

“I'm glad that you decided to listen to reason, now lets get down to business, do you have the money?” He asked her.

Serenity then picked up a silver valise, held it up, and said, “The money is all here, but before I give it to you I need proof that you'll leave Domino and never bother me or my daughter ever again.”

Hammond couldn't take his eyes off the valise and then he said, “This paper was drawn up by my lawyers and it has been notarized, now give me the money and I'll give you the envelope.”

Serenity then said, “Who do you take me for a fool, I want to see the letter first and then if it looks real then and only then will I give you the money.”

Hammond handed his son the letter and said, “Go let that bitch see the letter.”

Doug took the envelope over, opened it up, and held the letter while Serenity read it, he was begging her with his eyes not to make his father angry, he knew what he could do if he got mad enough. Then Serenity said, “The letter looks real, now give it to me and you can have the money.”

Doug gave her the envelope and then he took the valise and went back to where his father was and he gave it to him and as Hammond was opening the valise, Serenity was waiting for him to blow a gasket, you see there wasn't any money in the valise.

When she made the switch, Roland said, “Let’s go take down that bastard.” Then Roland, Bear and Cheyenne ran towards Hammond and Bear reached him first and as he took him down Hammond was screaming, “You no good bitch, you double crossed me you bitch.”

Doug walked over to his father and he said, “No I doubled crossed you, and if you call the mother of my child a bitch again, I'll cut your damn tongue out of your mouth and make you eat it.” Then he double up his fist and hit his father so hard that he jammed all his knuckles in his right hand.

Doug did not feel the pain at first, but then he grabbed his hand and said, “What in the hell did I do?”

Cheyenne went over to where he was and as he looked at Doug's hand he said, “I guess we better get you to a doctor, you've jammed all your knuckles.”

Serenity ran over and she said, “What in the hell did you hit him for, now look what you did to yourself.” Doug looked at her and then Joey said, “You'll get use to her temper, hell she's just a little pissed wait till you really piss her off.”

Serenity looked at her brother and she said, “Why don't you quit while you can, or do you want to give Doug a demonstration of my temper?”

Joey raised his hands up like he was trying to protect himself and he said, “No way.”

Roland laughed and then he said, “Cheyenne, take Doug to Kaiba Corp. Hospital and tell Dr. Temple that Roland said to take care of this young man.”

So Serenity and Doug got into Bear's car and Cheyenne drove them to the hospital at Kaiba Corp. When they left, Roland looked at Hammond and he said, “We are going to have a little talk, you and I and when were through I'm going to make damn sure that you never bother that young woman and her daughter ever again.”

He then looked at Bear and he said, “Lets get back to the Manor, this man and I are going to have a little discussion.”
