Millie Harrison-Rice couldn't believe her daughter Lennie was getting married. She was extremely proud of her and so was her husband Davy. Lennie's fiancée was Case Walters who was an American Expatriate like them. Case had lived and went to the same high school as Lennie in Paris. Case, was warm, open minded, sweet and caring. Millie couldn't of asked for a better man to marry her daughter. The two had been dating since they were sophomores in high school. Case proposed to Lennie after they had graduated college. They had decided to get married in the spring which was fast approaching. Lennie and Millie were very excited and Millie had been helping her daughter with her wedding preparations ever since. The family invited as many people as possible. Millie had invited her mother and father. Davy to his surprise when he called his father to invite him, he only asked him the date and time. Millie wasn't surprised at all. Davy's father had changed an enormous deal in the past thirty plus years. Davy told her he didn't believe him but Millie told him firmly yet softly "Davy Rice don't you dare say that, your father has changed, and if you can't see it your just stubborn!" Davy told her he still had his doubts but Millie finally convinced him to trust his father was going to come to the wedding and they didn't speak of it again. All in all the preparations were going quite well.After three months nonstop helping Lennie with her wedding. Millie was getting exhausted so she had taken a month off form her in-house clinic to recharge. I'm no good to my clients worn out. She thought This particular afternoon Millie was relaxing in her living room watching television with Davy. Millie picked up the remote muted the television then she turned around to face him and said “I'm so happy heart, I mean I just can't believe it, Our Lennie is getting married!” Davy scooped her up in his arms he lifted her up so that she was on his lap, then he replied “I know, darling I'm happy too, Case is a good man and he and Len are going to be real happy together” Millie feeling that no more need be said she wrapped her arms around his neck and the two started to kiss. They continued to kiss and Davy gently pushed her down on the couch he then laid down on top of her and started to take off his jeans. Millie seeing what he was doing stopped it as she replied "Not right now heart, I just want to relax." Davy pulled her up form beneath him, he helped her into a sitting position on his lap again. Once she was sitting upright he said "Okay darling, perhaps another time?" Millie laid her head back against Davy's chest. She wrapped her arms around his neck softly. She kissed him soft and slow on the lips and said"Yes heart another time, let's just relax for now all right?" Davy kissed her back and replied "Yeah, all right Millie" Millie then un muted the television, and they watched it in comfortable silence. Millie, Davy, and Lennie had showed Case that they could jump a year within Lennie's relationship with him. Millie was surprised at how well he took it, he was shocked and upset with them for a while but as the months went on he had gotten used to it and had accepted it. Two hours into their relaxing television session, the door to their condo burst open. Case ran in their living room he had large gash on the side of his head, his face was severely bruised and bloodied. He was out of breath and obviously panic stricken. Without another thought Millie switched off the television and she and Davy shot to their feet. Millie went over to Case she led him to an overstuffed armchair and helped him to sit down. She then jumped to the kitchen and came back with a tall glass of ice water. After Case had downed a few gulps of the ice water he took a deep breath. Millie knelt down in front of him and asked him as gently as she possibly could “Case what happened, where's Lennie?” Having finished the ice water Case took another deep breath and said”I don't know we were having a coffee in this cafe near here all of a sudden this woman walked into the cafe, She told all of the people to leave, She said she had a bomb in her jacket and if they didn't leave she was going to kill us all. Then she took out a syringe and drugged Len, I tried to stop her but she knocked me out with just a couple of hits. As soon as I came to she was gone. That woman took her” Davy went over to him and said “This woman what did she look like?” Case described her at around five feet, long and slender, with short blond hair. Davy and Millie recognized the description immediately as Hyacinth Pope. She was the main person who had tortured and conditioned Davy in hopes to make him an assassin for her employer Mr. Simons. Quickly Millie and Davy explained their encounter with Simons and Hyacinth. Case had a shocked and worried expression on his face the whole time. Finally after a few moments of silence Millie broke it and said to him "Case think, did she say anything to either of you that might give us any clue as to where she took Lennie?" Case shook his head hopelessly and replied "I'm so sorry Mr.and Mrs. Harrison-Rice I really tried to keep Len, safe. I tried so hard to make sure that woman didn't get to her. I just....couldn't" He started to cry.Davy replied "Case you need to be strong now, we need you to save Lennie"Millie knelt down next to him she put a hand on his shoulder and said soothingly "Case,Davy and I know you tried extremely hard to save Lennie. The proof of that is all over your face. Crying isn't going to bring her back to us any sooner. We have to keep a clam head and figure this out.It's the only way to save her, do you understand?" Case wiped his face with the back of his hand and said "Yes I do, sorry for getting so emotional I'm just worried about her." Millie gave him a warm hug and replied "I know I am too" Davy who had been pacing for the last few minutes finally stopped and said "Case did she give you anything, a note, anything leaving instructions for us?" Case suddenly snapped his head up and said, “I totally forgot she did, give me a second" He then got up and fished in his jeans pocket, after a few seconds he pulled out a silver rectangular object. Immediately Millie and Davy recognized it as a iPhone. Case pushed a button. Hyacinth Pope's face appeared. She looked nothing as Millie remembered. Her youthful menacing face, was all but gone. It was replaced by a fuller face, with slight wrinkles throughout it. Her long shining blond hair was now a dull yet brilliant shade of silver. It was cut in a sharp bob that added more coldness to her features than ever before. She appeared to be in her late fifty's through she still retained the same fierce uncaring eyes that Millie remembered. Finally she spoke her voice that was completely chilling and recognizable to the two of them. It took Millie back all those years ago when she had rescued Davy form her. "Well, well, it's so nice to see that you two managed to have a child after all, Through I must say she is rather stupid. She didn't even try to run when I pulled out my syringe. Now you are probably wondering why I kidnapped your daughter in the first place. It's quite simple retribution, for nearly killing me, thirty years ago. Why may you ask, have I decided to exact my revenge now? Oh, I was just waiting for the right time. You see I have been stalking you both for years and when I learned you had a child, I realized that it would be the perfect way to get it." Millie Davy and Case sat in angered silence while they listened all three too angry to say anything. Hyacinth's voice snapped them out of it "Now I want you two to rob the Chemical Bank of New York, for me. I mean with what you both can do, it shouldn't be a problem for you." Hyacinth flashed them a snobbish smile then went on "Around ninety two million dollars should suffice, quite nicely"
" Now, when you are done go to the Park Hotel in Tokyo, fortieth floor, room forty two B." Millie and Davy exchanged skeptical glances. As if she could see them Hyacinth said "Oh and if you are having doubts about whether or not your daughter really is alive and well, say hello to mommy and daddy sweetheart." Hyacinth's camera moved to Lennie chained to a wall in her hotel room. Her hair was plastered to face. Hyacinth had a gun to her head. Millie gasped and shouted "Oh my god, hold on, Sweet!" Davy grabbed Millie's hand and replied "Be brave baby, We're coming to get you." Lennie spoke her voice a terrified but calm whisper "Mom, Daddy, I'm okay she hasn't done anything to me.Tell Case I love him and that this isn't his fault. Please Mom, Dad get me out of here!" Hyacinth back handed her across her face hard. Millie gripped Davy's hand more tightly. She snarled "That, evil bitch!" Hyacinth turned the camera back on herself and said "You have forty eight hours to get me my money."
"You don’t... Hyacinth clicked the gun's barrel against Lennie's head."Your childless, have a great time!" Hyacinth waved to them smugly and the screen went black. Millie and Davy looked at each other worriedly. Finally Case spoke snapping them out of their daze " So what are you two going to do?"Millie still holding tightly to Davy's hand turned around to face him and replied "The only thing that will get Lennie back, we have to rob the Chemical Bank of New York" Case stood up and said "Whoa are you guys sure that's the smartest thing to do, why don't we go to the police?" Davy scoffed and said angrily "And tell them what Case, our daughter was kidnapped by a ex-shadow cabinet assassin, yeah they'll will really buy that!" Millie looked at him and grabbed his hand making him look at her in the eyes. She said to him "Davy getting mad at Case isn't going to bring our daughter home any sooner, Now calm down!" Davy nodded and said "Your right I'm sorry Millie" Millie kissed him gently on his lips and replied "I know heart, I miss her too" Davy nodded again. Once she knew that Davy was calm. Millie then looked at Case and said "Case this is the only way to save Lennie. If Davy and I don't do this, we could lose her forever. Is that what you want?" Case exhaled he ran his hands through his hair and said "Of course not that's the last thing I want. But I don't want my future in-laws to get hurt. I love you both." Millie let go of Davy's hand she walked over to Case, she put her right hand on his cheek and said "I know Case I've truly come to love you as a son. I'm afraid whatever the risks this robbery entails we have to take it." Davy walked up next to Millie he took her hand in his. Looking at Case he said "Case, Millie and I are the only ones who can do this and pull it off" Millie pulled Case into another warm hug. She released him. Then Case said to them” Okay what's the plan?" Davy jumped upstairs. He came back down a few minutes later, with a DVD in his hand. Fourteen years ago their VCR had finally broken. Davy and Millie had switched all of their video taped jump sites to DVd's. Davy now had a camcorder with a DVD slot, for creating DVD jump sites. He had gotten done with switching the videos to DVd's around four years ago. He had an estimated six hundred jump site DVd's. Davy now had in his hand a Dvd jump site of the Chemical Bank of New York's bathroom. Millie switched on the television and set up the Dvd player. Davy turned to Case and said "Millie and I will jump to the Chemical Bank of New York tonight. We need to make sure that the layout is the same as it was when I robbed it twenty years ago" Case stared at Davy opened mouthed and said "What, are you telling me you robbed that bank before?" Millie laughed and said "Yes Case he did when he was seventeen." Millie kissed him on the cheek and replied "It was before I met him, before I had a chance to exact my calming and righteous attitude on him" Davy kissed her on the lips and said "You eventually forgave me through so it wasn't a bad choice" Millie kissed him back and said "Perhaps, through I must admit I secretly loved having a boyfriend who was loaded" Davy pumped his fist in air and said mockingly "Ah I knew it!" Millie no longer amused said to him firmly "Davy now is not the time for this continue with what you were saying!" As soon as she spoke those words the playful mood in the air was soon replaced by the overwhelming fear and reality of the situation again. It was enough to snap Davy back to reality "Right, thanks love" Millie punched him gently in his shoulder and said "Your welcome,sweet" Davy looked at Case and continued "Now if the layout is the same we'll jump into the vault and get the money. Then we'll jump back here and gather it and take it to Tokyo" Case said "Wait what if the layout is all different then what will you do?" Millie replied "We'll improvise, we don't have any other options. I mean this is our one chance to get Lennie back"Case nodded. Millie finally saw his eyes light with a understanding she hadn't see in them since he told them about Lennie's kidnapping. He finally gets that this has to be done, good. Millie thought to herself. Case then asked them "What about me, I mean while you two are robbing the bank what am I going to do?" Davy put his right hand on Case's shoulder and said "Just hang tight pal, I'm afraid since you can't teleport, it would be too risky for you to come along with us" Case gave them an understanding look and replied "Yeah that makes sense, I'll stay here, just be careful all right?" Millie nodded and said "You bet,just stay here till we get back okay?" Case gave Millie a hug, and shook Davy's hand Davy replied "Don't give up Case we're gonna get her back I promise" Case said "I know, you be careful too" Davy nodded and said "Right of course" Davy and Millie jumped upstairs and started to get ready. They pulled on black yet unnoticeable clothes. Millie said to Davy "You ready to do this honey?" Davy went over to her he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her then he said "Yeah, I mean we don't have much of a choice do we?" Millie shook her head and replied "Fraid we don't heart, come on let's go say good-bye to Case" With that they jumped downstairs. Millie gave Case another warm hug and said "Stay strong sweetie we'll be back as soon as we can." Davy shook his hand again and said "We'll be back in about thirty minutes to an hour, we need to come back to get bags for the money. Remember, don't give up" Case nodded and replied "Yeah, I won't you two be careful" Millie and Davy nodded at Case, Millie gave him one last hug. She whispered in his ear "Be brave, son" Case whispered back "I will be you be safe" Millie nodded and said back "Good-bye honey" With one final look at Case, Davy and Millie then jumped right outside of the Chemical Bank of New York. Millie took Davy's hand in hers and said "You ready,sweet?" Davy nodded and said "As ready as I'm going to be let's do this" Millie gave him a slight peck on his cheek. They then jumped into the Chemical Bank of New York's bathroom. The layout hadn't changed. The bathroom was still the same as it had been nearly twenty years ago. Davy grabbed Millie's hand and said "Come on we've got to move fast" He then jumped them into vault.Millie located the American section of the currency in the vault. She shouted to him "Davy over here!" Davy jumped over to where she was and said "Great they must of gotten more money form Washington last year. We'll be able to steal ninety two million and they won't even notice" Millie nodded and said "I know Davy, it's just this still goes against everything I believe in. It feels so wrong" Davy wrapped his arms around her waist and said "Millie, we're doing this to get our daughter back" Millie leaned into Davy's arms and said "I know Davy, it still doesn't feel right" Davy kissed her and said "Yeah but if we don't do this we'll never see our baby girl get married." Millie kissed him back and said "Yes your right even through this is wrong it has to be done for our Lennie" Millie disentangled herself form Davy's arms and said "Come on, we've been gone for two hours already, Case has got to be going out of his mind with worry" Davy nodded and said "Your right let's go" With that they held hands and jumped. Case who had been pacing the living room of Davy and Millie's condo nervously for the past two hours was extremely relieved when he saw them appear. He went over to them and gave them both a hug then he asked "So everything go all right, are you both in one piece?" Davy replied "Yep everything went fine, we're both okay, we just came back to make sure you hadn't gone crazy and to get some bags to put the money in." Millie nudged Davy in the ribs gently and said "Davy that wasn't funny. Case how are you holding up?" Case exhaled and said "As good as can be expected. I won't be complete again until I have Len back with me" Millie hugged him once again that day and said "I know we feel that way too, don't worry we will get her back" Millie and Davy soon had to leave Case alone again. Before they left Case a second time Millie said to him "We'll only be gone thirty minutes tops this time all right?" Case nodded and said "Yeah that sounds good" Millie gave him a hug and jumped with Davy back into the bank vault. Millie and Davy had brought two oversize duffel bags with them. Once they had jumped into the vault they then started to count and load the money into the bags. Millie doubled checked the money to make sure that all ninety two million were in the bags. After they had done loading each bag Davy asked Millie "So it's all there?" Millie nodded and said "Yep all ninety two million. Let's get back to Case, I said we'd only be thirty minutes and if we don't leave now we'll be late and he'll worry" Davy nodded and said "Right let's go" They both bent down and lifted the bags up. They had to lift form their knees because the bags were incredibly heavy.Davy said to Millie "Let's jump on the count of three that way we won't drop the bags" Millie nodded and said "Good idea, on my count, one...,two...three!" On three they both jumped a thousand miles away back to their beach side condo in Paris. Case who was sitting on their sofa said "Great your back, I was staring to get worried" Millie placed her duffel bag down on the floor and said "I'm sorry Case we tried to get here sooner it's just these bags are really heavy" Case nodded and said "Oh, I never thought of that before" Millie put her hands on her hips and said in a frustrated voice "Case we can teleport we don't have super strength!" The tension that they didn't even know was in the air broke and the three frightened yet determined people laughed.The fear and doubt they had inside of them poured out with their laughter. After ten minutes of laughing they stopped. Millie gave Davy a kiss and Case a hug. She then went upstairs to take a hot shower. For the first time that day she allowed herself to release all of the bottled up grief ,fear and pain she had been holding inside of her for the past twenty four hours. After she was done with her shower Millie went into her bedroom and dried and straightened her hair. As she sat at her vanity Millie examined her reflection in the mirror. She hardly recognized herself these days. When Davy had been kidnapped by Mr.Simons's henchmen nearly twenty years previous Millie was left to fend for herself. The NSA and FBI didn't help her. So Millie in the words of the FBI had 'gone to ground'. She was able to live off of the grid for the two weeks that Davy had been held hostage by Simon's and his group. Her hair used to be a blackish brown and was shoulder length. In order to make herself be less of a target for Simon's group Millie drastically changed her appearance. She had dyed her hair a platinum blond and had gotten three inches taken off. She then had gotten out fitted with contacts. Through now she had gone back to her black rimmed owl like glasses. Over the years Millie had let her hair grown out and it had grown quite long, nearly down the middle of her back. She still kept it a vibrant platinum blond for she liked being a blond and still dyed it regularly each month. As soon as she was done straighting her hair, Millie got dressed. She pulled on a simple white long sleeved Hanes tagless shirt, coupled with her favorite deep blue stretch-waisted jeans. Millie then slid on her glasses. She ran a brush throughout her hair so it smoothed out. She then checked her reflection and happy with her appearance Millie then jumped downstairs. Davy was sitting on the couch. While Case was sitting in the armchair. None of them were talking. As soon as Davy spotted her he said "Are you all right, I mean you were up there for two hours" Millie walked over to the couch she sat down on Davy's lap and kissed him.As they pulled apart she said "I'm fine Davy I just needed time to think is all. I'm ready to get our daughter back form that bitch!" Davy kissed her and said "That's my girl, I'm ready too" They stood up and held hands. Millie turned to Case and said "I'm sorry honey but you need to stay here, this exchange could go south any second and it's just too much of a..." Case finished Millie's sentence for her "Too much of a risk, I know just get my fiancée back to me in one piece all right?" Millie gave him what seemed liked to her her millionth hug she then collected her duffel bag. Davy shook Case's hand and said "Listen Case we are going to bring Lennie home, just hold onto that thought till we get back all right, don't allow yourself to think anything different" Davy pulled him into a one armed hug. Case then said "I will, just don't take forever to come back" Davy smiled slightly and said "No problem, buddy" Davy gathered up his duffel bag, turning to Millie he said "You ready?" Millie allowed herself a small yet determined grin as she replied "Oh yeah let's get our daughter and teach that Hyacinth a lesson!" Davy and Millie both said to Case "Good-bye will be back with Lennie" Case said to them "I know, be safe" With one final look at Case Davy and Millie jumped to the Park Hotel in Tokyo Japan. They jumped to the fortieth floor and walked the long hallway to room forty two b. Soon they were outside the door. Millie said to Davy "Well do you think we should just jump in or knock?" Davy shook his head he made a knocking gesture with his hand. She picked up on his single and nodded understandingly. Millie gently knocked on the door and it swung open. Davy mouthed Be on alert somethings up. Millie shook her head slightly and the two started slowly into the room.They saw no one, not Hyacinth or Lennie. Finally they heard a gun shot and a second later they saw the tall slender form that was Hyacinth. She sneered at them and replied "I must say I'm quite surprised you both showed up." Millie spat out icily to her "You have our daughter. Where is she?" Hyacinth wagged her gun at them like a mother would wag it's finger at a naughty child she then replied "Ah, ah, ah, not so fast, money first then you can see your pretty little girl" Davy's hands were shaking. He calmed himself long enough to reply "We want to see that Lennie is safe first then we'll give you your money" Hyacinth pointed her gun at them and said "Do as I say or you are all dead." Davy was about to attack her when he suddenly locked eye with Millie, he read what her eyes told him. Let's distract, disarm her and get Lennie and ourselves out of here Davy answered her back with his eyes. Remember what we did thirty years ago? Millie answered him You bet. Davy gave her a slight nod. A minute lapsed. Davy then put their plan into action. He widened his eyes slightly just enough for her to notice him. Millie took his single. She ran at Hyacinth and pushed her down. Then Millie took her gun and threw it out the opened window. She then grabbed Hyacinth around her waist and jumped her to a chair. She tied her to a chair and slapped her twice across the face. Just as she was going to knock Hyacinth out. She heard Davy's voice form the bathroom. "Millie in here!" Millie jumped into the bathroom and found Lennie tied to the assistance bar in the bath tub. She quickly untied Lennie. Millie then embraced and kissed her daughter. "Oh my god, Lennie my baby are you all right?" Lennie said nothing for a second then she replied "Yeah I'm all right" Davy hugged and kissed her as well "Darling it's okay now, it's all right we're here." Lennie was crying as she said "Mom, Daddy I'm so glad you found me. I thought I wasn't never going to see you both ever again" Davy stroked her hair gently and said "It's all right baby girl it's all right your safe, you've been found it's all going to be okay" Millie hugged and kissed Lennie again she then replied "Come on sweet let's get you back to Case"Lennie smiled with pure joy and said "Case, my babydoll, take me to him Mom" Millie said "Of course sweet, but first we need to take care of something" Davy nodded at her. They led Lennie into the living room . The three of them looked at a beaten and Hyacinth she was still confined to the chair that Millie had tied her in. Millie walked over to her and said "What do you have say for yourself. Are you surprised, didn't think after all these years we still had it in us did you?" Hyacinth said smugly "No I must admit I didn't I underestimated you both just like thirty years ago. You can leave me here you know. I'm not going to come after you any longer" Davy led Lennie over to Millie who supported her while Davy walked over and faced Hyacinth. He said to her angrily "Your word isn't good enough, how can we be sure that you won't come after us!" Hyacinth laughed heartily for a few seconds she then replied "I've been free for the past thirty years and during that time my only goal all these years was to get back at you. Now I've tried and it didn't work out. I'm far too old to tried a second time. In laments terms Mr.Rice you and your wife are far too good." Davy smiled he untied her and said "Your right Ms. Pope we are, through I warn you if you ever try something like this again, I may be forgiving but my wife... I can't say she will be understand?" Hyacinth nodded she replied "Certainly I was wondering if I could have some of the money?" Millie laughed and said to her "Absolutely not, we're taking it back where it belongs!" Millie then walked right up to Hyacinth and slapped her with as much force as she could muster across her face. She then said "That is better than you deserve form me. What my husband said is true, you threaten my family again and you'll answer to me" Hyacinth nodded and said "Yes well, won't that be an interesting day" Millie said back "No it won't because it's not going to happen" Hyacinth nodded and said "No it isn't" Millie was startled because she actually believed her. Davy and Millie gathered up the duffel bags and Lennie they then jumped home. "Babydoll, I'm so happy to see you!" Lennie squealed with joy. Case swept Lennie off her feet and spun her around four times. He set her down and said "Oh Len I'm so glad your all right. I love you" They kissed with extreme passion. They came apart and Lennie said "Ah, babydoll I love you so much" Millie smiled she was so happy that her daughter was safe and sound.As fast as they could Millie and Davy returned the ninety two million dollars back to the Chemical Bank of New York. They then returned to the condo. There they found Lennie and Case making out intensely on the overstuffed armchair in the living room. Millie smiled and said to Davy "Remember what I said to you this afternoon when you wanted to have sex?" Davy nodded and said "Y-eah... the realization dawned on him and Davy said shocked "Millie your not thinking..!" Millie nodded and said seductively "It's later, come on Davy we deserve it after what has gone on today" Davy looked at Lennie and Case and said "What about them?" Millie held up a room key. Davy said "What's that?" Millie shook the key and said "I booked at private honeymoon suite for Lennie and Case at the Plaza, since they occupied at the moment and the wedding isn't for a few weeks.. I was thinking why not you and I test it out for them?" Davy laughed he put his arms around her and said "You are such a crafty hard ass of a woman!" He kissed her with as much passion as Case had kissed Lennie. Millie smiled at him and said "I'm that and more heart, just you wait and see!" Davy grabbed her hand and said "I'm dying to find out lead the way darling!" Millie then jumped them to the suite. Four hours later when they were dressed both felt better than they had in thirty years. Davy was asleep. Millie was still awake.Her mind was replaying the day's events. Even through what had happened to them today was a living nightmare for her. Millie realized that the experience of the horrific events of the day had brought her and her family closer together than ever before. That is Especially true between Davy and me, I mean we haven't had that much fun in the bedroom since we first started dating! Millie thought happily.She turned around and gave her husband a small kiss on his cheek then she rolled over on her side and fell into a very deep and content sleep.
