Coursework is done so back to writing sorry about the wait. This chapter is dedicated to Barbiegirl 22, who keeps me writing this fanfic. Hope you all enjoy!

Carl walked into Mum’s room. “One of the kids wants you to leave Cobra alone.” He chuckled. Mum looked up at her bodyguard. The other employees would never have talked to her like he did but he knew as long as he didn’t quit he was safe from her boredom. “Which one?” She asked.

“The girl.” He replied regretting ever saying anything. If anything happened to the child it would be his fault.

“So Cobra’s lying to them. They are going to be surprised in three days time.” She grinned widely and looked at Carl, he relaxed.

“You look tense Carl. Calm down I will not touch the children while Cobra is alive.” She looked back at her book and her eyebrows rose. Carl stared at the woman for a while then took his position next to the door. “While Cobra is alive?” But he’s…they… She likes him, surely he is safe from her boredom.

Three days. Rose thought lying in her bed. It was seven in the morning and terror flew through her veins. She forced herself to calm down. Everything will be fine. We will get our children back and everything will be fine. But what if we don’t find the bag? Then we’ll just have to go save them without it.

She led in silence for a while, not even her thoughts filled the silence until one word, Mutt. She couldn’t stop imagining him with that woman but she had to. If they were ever going to work things out she had to forgive him.

*

Ian’s loud snoring had kept Mutt up all night again, well that’s what he would tell Rose. She was right, the old Mutt would have broken the law and started digging where he pleased but it was the old Mutt who had got him in this mess. The old Mutt was the voice inside his head that told him that his wife who he adored would never find out about his one-night-stand. It was the old Mutt who stopped him from grovelling at his wife’s feet and begging for forgiveness.

He lifted his head up to look at the time, Ian had stolen the alarm clock and put it by his side. Once seeing the time, seven o’clock, he bashed his head back down on the pillow. He turned over and tried to sleep but his stomach started rumbling. He sighed and threw on his clothes before going down to the buffet.

When he arrived he was led to a seat then went to grab his food. He didn’t realise in his absence a woman had sat as his table. As he turned round he spotted her and turned to sit at another table before realising she was beckoning to him. Mutt took over his food and sat down opposite the woman. “Henry Jones the third?” She asked.

“Um yeah.” His full name sounded weird to him.

“I haven’t got long, I can’t put myself or you in any more danger. I came to tell you there is no point in looking for the item you seek, she already has it. Just go and get your children. Do not let her know that you know they have the bag. Do not try and find me, contact me or follow me.” The woman started to get up when Mutt grasped her hand.

“Danger? How do you know about all this and who has it? Please.” There was panic in his voice.

“We are both in danger, and you making me stay is putting both my family and yours in grave danger. My husband works for her, the woman who has your children.” She stood up and started to back away.

“Who?” He cried as she walked away.

She stopped and sighed, “Nobody knows her name they know her as “Mum.””

“What is your name? Please?” He shouted and added quietly as she hurried out of the door, “Thank you.”

For the first time in days he ran up to his wife’s room and knocked on the door to tell her what the woman had said.

*

The woman marched away from the little hotel she pulled her coat close around her and the phone began to ring in her pocket. “Hello?” The woman asked.

“Is it done Sarah?” replied a frightened voice.

“Yes it’s done, Tom. I’ll be-” Before she could finish her sentence she felt something sharp go into the back of her head. She didn’t feel her legs crumple or her head hit the ground and turn it scarlet. She didn’t see the sniper situated just five-hundred yards away in the bushes. The voice on the other side of the phone stopped abruptly and began to sob as he put down the phone. The only sounds coming from the corpse was of the dial and blood gushing onto the pavement. The sniper took the phone in her gloved hand and dialled 999.

“Then we have to leave now!” Rose shouted once Mutt had told her everything. “Look they’ll know that we know that they have the bag if we randomly turn up three days early.”

“First of all it will take more than today to get there, second of all they don’t need to know we know. We could just go there and pretend like we found it!” She was clinging onto the hope of finding her children and every second they wasted brought them closer to death.

“I don’t know, Rose. I think you may have too much faith in humanity, what if the woman was lying to us?”

“What would she achieve by doing that?” Rose screamed.

“She would take us off the trail and we would go to this woman empty handed which would mean certain death!”

There was a loud knocking at the door and Mutt opened it to find a red-faced Ian. “Thank God. You’re ok.” Ian was huffing and puffing.

“What’s wrong?” Rose asked.

“I went downstairs to see if you were eating and there was a huge amount of police and medics I thought something had happened to you.”Mutt’s eyes grew he ran to the window and Rose followed. They were overlooking the pavement. There was a corpse inside a taped-off area. “It’s her.” Whispered Mutt.

“You really think they would have killed her after giving us that information if she was supposed to give it to us?” Rose asked softly.
