up,’ Selena said quietly allowing a bitter smile to play across her stunningly beautiful face and she watched as the five year old Toyota pulled up to the kerb in front of her.
    The Toyota stopped and Selena turned face-on and cocked her left foot out at an angle from the rest of her body, she knew this stance accentuated her curvaceous frame and highlighted her legs; she also knew that Jack, from his lowered position in the car-seat would be able to see all that she wanted him to see, the short dress would not hide the fact that she had foregone the wearing of any lingerie and she hoped that the bastard could see her pussy, she wanted him to want her, to long for her.
    A ll day she had thought about this moment and the reaction that her outfit would elicit in her one-time boyfriend.
    ‘Fuck him,’ she said and she waited for the driver’s door to open.
    The passenger window buzzed down and she was startled to see the stranger sitting in the car. Selena let go of the extendable handle of one of her three cases and pulled her coat closed, covering her exposure.
    ‘I’m sorry; I thought you were someone else.’
    ‘ That’s okay, he sent us to pick you up,’ the stranger replied cordially and Selena grunted.
    Typical of him, more fucking mind games .
    ‘Jack sent you?’
    The driver’s door opened and the driver got out, another man she didn’t recognise, but they both looked like the type of man that Jack would hang around with; they looked mean and capable.
    The passenger got out of the car and opened the rear door for her.
    ‘Yes, Jack sent us, told us to bring you to him,’ the passenger said.
    The driver walked to the rear of the Toyota and popped the trunk, he came over towards her and Selena took a step backwards.
    ‘Relax,’ the driver said as he took hold of two of the cases. Selena laughed to hide her nerves.
    ‘Sorry.’
    ‘No problem Miss,’ the driver said with a boyish smile as he stowed the first case in to the trunk.
    The passenger held the rear door open for Selena and she started towards the car, she saw headlights approaching from her left and the driver cast a glance at his companion and Selena saw the look the two men shared and she tried to step back away from the car.
    ‘Jack didn’t send you.’
    ‘Fuck Jack,’ the passenger said and he pulled a small .38 from the rear of his jeans and pointed it at Selena’s face.
    ‘Get in the car bitch,’ the driver said, all attempts at pleasantness now a distant memory.
    ‘Wait, you don’t know what you’re doing,’ Selena said and she raised her hands in a “stay-away” gesture.
    The passenger thumbed the hammer back on the revolver in his gloved hand.
    ‘Dead or alive we’re fucking y ou bitch, now get in the damn car.’
    Selena started forwards, she saw the approaching car had pulled up at the kerb and as the passenger grabbed her shoulder she caught a fleeting glimpse of the new arrival’s car door open and then she was pushed in through the open passenger door where she fell across the seat.
    From outside she heard a gunshot followed by two others in rapid succession and then another shot followed by the sound of someone cursing.
    Selena scrabbled backwards across the seat and she felt a rough hand grab her by the hair and yank her to her feet, it was the driver and he raised a gun, this one a lot bigger than his companion’s .38 and he pressed it against her right temple, she could smell the man’s fetid breath.
    ‘Don’t move man or the bitch...’
    He never finished the threat and it took Selena several stunned seconds to realise that she’d heard another gunshot and she turned around to see the driver crawling away from her on his hands and knees, she could see that the left side of his face was awash in blood and she yelped when someone touched her and she spun back to see Jack standing in front of her, in his hand was a large gun.
    ‘You okay?’
    ‘What?’
    ‘Are you okay?’
    Selena nodded her head.
    Jack
