Crystal and Je
‘I need to let the hose out a minute. If you don’t mind ladies I’ll be back in a few minutes.’
The reference to “hose” made the two girls blush, Jason smiled again and walked off down the aisle towards the toilet. Both girls watched him until he was out of sight, and turned to each other.
‘Dam, I wish I got one of those cabins instead of this open space seating.’ Jenifer said.
Crystal gave her a side glanced look that was peppered with confusion.
‘Why on earth would you want a cabin for? These seats are fine.’
‘HELLO?!? A gorgeous guy and a cabin equal a much more entertaining train journey.’
Crystal looks shocked at her friend’s comments.
‘You can’t just sleep with the guy! You just met him, plus you don’t know him from anywhere. He could be a creep for all you know.’
‘Who said anything about sleeping with the man? There are far more ways of making a man happy then just sleeping with him. He’s hot anyway, what’s wrong with having a little fun?’
‘There’s fun and there’s danger, I’d rather stay on the safe side then jump on every guy I see.’
‘You’re being so lame Crystal. That father of yours has put too many bows around your life. Live a little, who knows he may enjoy the both of us giving him something to smile about.’
‘God sake girl, I am not into that sort of thing. I’m really starting to not recognise you anymore, your changing from the girl I’ve always known to someone I’m not sure whether I want to know.’
‘Be quiet, he’s coming back’
Jason walks back over to his seat looking relieved. He looks at Crystal and Jenifer.
‘Is everything okay?’
‘Yeah sure it is. I’m just admiring the view.’ Jenifer says looking at Jason’s rear.
Jason gives her a candid grin and sits down opposite her, while Crystal saves face behind a book.

‘What’s going on then?’ asks Frank
The incident room is once again in turmoil with phones going off left, right and center. A group of officers and detectives are staring at the big screen where Co
‘I thought we cut Chase’s media exposure? Who’s broadcasting this?’ asks Frank
Shaw turns around to Frank abruptly; the sound of his question seemed to shake Shaw’s attention from the big TV screen.
‘YouTube lad, he’s got a live stream on every major video website on the internet: Justin.tv, YouTube, Dailymotion, and Livestream. He’s even got some streams on pornography websites. There isn’t one video streaming website on the internet that isn’t streaming this, including news networks from out of the country like Aljazeera and the BBC.’
‘Can’t we do anything about it?’
‘I know we are the Boston’s finest Frank, but unfortunately we are not the world police. We can’t be shutting down streams of videos just like that.’
Frank shakes his head in disbelief.
‘I was under the impression we could do just that. I know we have the capability.’
Chief Shaw nods in agreement.
‘We do have the capability it’s just we don’t want to step on other people’s toes.’
‘I hardly think it’s the time to worry about public relations chief’ Frank says scornfully.
‘Believe it or not laddie, it’s always the right time for public relations. You make one wrong decision and it impacts the investigation. Before you know it we have every Tom Dick and Harry poking their peckers into our business.’
Frank was growing impatient and refrained from continuing his opinionated stance on the matter. He walks away from Shaw towards the TV to get a better view of what was happening. Co

Frank thought how clever it was that Co
‘Hello again, for the people who don’t know me, my name is Co
The atmosphere in the incident room changes in a heat beat when a woman is shoved into the cameras view. She is pushed towards Co
‘This woman’s name is Tasha Mitchel. She is my ex-boss. Not only that but she’s also working with the police to try and make my capture a reality. Thing is she never counted on the fact that my reach goes further then she and everyone thinks. I’m not here to divulge secretes; but she is. So I’m afraid……’
At that moment Co
‘She had to go.’ Co
He puts the gun back into his classy white tux.
‘The 28 amendment will amend all the wrongs of this anti privacy government we live under. If I do not hear from someone in the next hour then I shall shoot someone else. I am not saying I want the law passed in an hour. I just want a courtesy call to show me that you people are taking this seriously. Might I add that if you are not taking this seriously then I will kill all of the hostages. Message understood I hope…’ The TV screen goes blank and is replaced with a distasteful TV test card that reads: “REVOLUTION TV WILL BE BACK WITH YOU SHORTLY” With a cartoon picture of “Uncle Sam” flipping the bird.
