Jake stood at the window... he was just about to head out with his wife when something caught his eye and he stopped her from exiting the room... quickly he moved to there luggage and pulled out another gown he had brought this one less.. 'risky' and tossed it to her.. "Put this on.. NOW..." he voice was firm and commanding and he saw the look of fear in her eyes... he smiled.<br/><br/>He moved to his wife and took her in his arms, "I'm sorry honey but it looks like some of Michael's dealings are finding there way back into his life." the fact that he had been approached by the DEA/FBI/CIA/ Homeland Security liason and shown evidence that Michael Darling and his Partner Mikael had been working illegal deals with a known terrorist cell not caring where there 'blood money' had come from had bothered him. More so that a part of the funds had been used to fund the incident on 9/11<br/><br/>He had a cousin 'distant' who knew he sold the Darlings horses and thus was part of there inner workings and he had been working with them for the past year uncovering just who was involved.. and it was a long list.. Mikael had been the brains convincing Michael Darling but keeping his wife Harriett out of it.. .o0(thank God.. ) both knew she would never have gone for it and the fact that it had been a large part of HER money that was used to originally front the operation in South America would mean that she would not be as well off once everything was said and done.<br/><br/>Part of the deal he had made was that EVERYONE who had nothing to do with the actual operation was to be given immunity and after a period of time.. .o0(which could be years) the bulk of the Manning money's would be released to Harriet.. until then she would be almost penniless and since it was his fault he had planned on offering her sanctuary with Jazz and himself.. but he had not planned on them moving in NOW.. this weekend... espically with his wife here.<br/><br/>He moved back to the window and Jazz slipped of the near see through gown and placed the more sexy black one piece on... he looked at her.. she still was ravishing.. but not as 'slutty' he saw the door open and Mikael stepped in.. he had a worried look and moved to Jake... "I have to get out of here... your horses ... can you help me get someplace.. " behind him walked Michael a look of anger as below the heard movement and the first of the join task force entered the villa and started to arrest people.<br/><br/>Jake moved to his wife and wrapped his arm around her.. he shook his head once .. "No.." and then he saw Harriet quickly run in.. she was naked save for a pair of heels ... her eyes wild... she moved to first Michael who shrugged her off them Mikael who pushed her away as the two men dashed to the window and balcony trying to flee..<br/><br/>When Harriet moved to follow Jake grabbed her arm and pulled her back in.. she was bigger then his wife and she struggled.. he slapped her once.. and she looked at him tears in her eyes.. "Harri there not after you..." she stopped struggling shock in her eyes.. she tried to slap him but he caught her wrists.. and that was when the four man team came in guns out and ordered everyone down.. eyes locked on him a nod and he saw his wife look to the man then to her husband ... confused and in shock... he just grit his teeth and motioned to the window balcony with his head.. "Two men primaries I guess you would call them.. heading to the stables.. " he let go of Harriet as a female officer came up and drapped a robe over the woman... by this time.. he saw Harriet has stopped fighting and was crumpled to the floor.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>When it was over and hit the news word of what Michael Darling and his Partner had done had shocked the world. The name had been drug through the mud and all assests frozen. Also accused was one Raymond Jacobs & Kris Gallows who were the middle men in dealings with the middle eastern terriost groups and members of an american cell called 'Red Death' whose goal was the elimination of the president of the united states.<br/><br/>No mention of Jake or Jazz were made and of Harriet Darling all that was said was that Mrs. Darling had been proven to have known nothing of her husband or his partners business that she when questioned about certain key personal that had visited the Darling Estate and been shown to be members of Red Death she had complied with all questions and in fact had been instrumental in aquiring even more evidence as well as possibly saving the vice presidents life by identifying a certain.. 'lady' that her husband had set him up with.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Two weeks have passed since the incident and Jake and Jazz are back at there ranch, Jake has sent several messages to Harriet apologizing and wanting to explain what had happened and he knows that it was because of his testimony and the proof that he delievered to the task force she was cleared of any criminal charges... his wife took his part in what happened first with anger .. at not being told.. (partly because Roger is just making this up on the fly in hopes of getting a thread going with just Jazz and Harriet) and of the danger he had put her and there unborn child in.. but he had explained that in order to keep the ruse going he had to show up.. he just wished he had been told before hand that they planned the take down that day.<br/><br/>He also had asked his wife what her thoughts were of offering Harriet shelter... it would be years till she could get back the funds the goverment had locked down.. and she would have no were to go and few friends .. true friends.. now that the money was gone...<br/><br/>(( tags to Jazz and Harriet.. well ladies what do you think??? a little threesome at the ranch?? Ya can make Jake pay by fucking his ass raw Kaz nice long strap on revenge.. and Jazz ya sort of hinted at an offer to continue with Jake.. *winks*.. figure it would be only right to offer Harriet a home .. ))
