As Jack joined back to the group they they sat in cold silence.

"Well if there is nothing else and you only came to lie and steal I will take my leave." Alex said as he stood up, "Oh just one more thing 2 years ago when Lilly came asking for money I recorded it. She stated all she was there for was money and not to she her son. This was not her exact words but I do not refer to my son in the words she used. I then took them to the court for full custody of my sone and to terminate all her rights. I only agree to today so she would leave us alone. The paper you have has no legal rights so it is worthless." With that he left with Jack and the bodyguards following.

Lilly sat there. What had just happened? She had lost her money and she also seen her Uncle as her mother use to talk about them. Why did she not listen to her. Alex said he would of given her the money. She still stood a chance but now with her Uncle help she lost everything. She had to come up with a way to get it back.

Black sat there in a cold icy atmosphere. He lost this round but now he was declaring war on Poe.

---------------------

"What now?" Jack asked as they got in the car.

"Black will be coming up with a plan to get what he wants. Our next move is to wait and plan for him to come after us all. Jack the girls are in real danger from that man. Watch tge tapes to find out. Make sure Freddie from the FBI gets copies and let him know we will need his help."Alex had to wait until Black came after them. The hardest part now was being away from Elizabeth because right now he needed her safe.

"Ok, I'll set up a meeting ASAP. We need the girls to stay at you parents home don't we?" Jack knew the answer but had to ask.

"It's for the best right now, it will be easier to plan if we know they are safe." Alex took out his phone to call his dad.

He told his dad everything that was said and done and he agreed to keep everyone at the villa and to get extra men there to keep watch.

"Do you and Jack want to stay too? I think we will all feel better knowing we are all together right now." his father asked.

"Tonight yah that will be great but we will have to wait and see where Black's plane needs us to be to get rid of him." Alex said. "See you in about an hour Dad."

They drove to the office were they met his men with all the evidence they got that night. After is was all locked up they headed for the villa.

Beth had been waiting for news. She could not follow the conversation the other two ladys were having. She had a bad feeling that something bad was about to happen. She always was right when this feeling came to her. She just found someone she could trust with all if her and this feeling was scarring her. Just when she could not take it anymore Alex and Jack walk in the door and Beth flys into his arm.

"Your all right, I was so scared. " She said.

"Yes, I'm all right, don't worry ." he smiled at the knowledge that Beth did really care for him. How lucky can he get.

"Is it over with?"She asked. Mary and Sarah both waited and hoped for good news.

"I am sorry to say No. ...Lilly and Black did not fet what they wanted and I am afraid that they will come after both you girls and AJ."Alex explained.

Mary was afraid of the Mr Black has caused many worried nights with the men and knew he would not give up easy. "Are you hungry we were waiting for you to have dinner?"

"Sounds great Mom, Thanks."Alex said.

They all went into the dinning room and Sr and AJ joined them. They talked about many things except what was really going on. Alex told AJ and the girls they would be guest here for awhile and AJ would be taking time off from the office to watch over the girls. This made AJ excited to be their bodyguard. After dinner Beth and Alex took AJ to get ready for bed. He had a bath and his bedtime story.

Meanwhile Jack and Sarah took a walk out in the garden.

"Can you be honest with me and tell me is this all my fault?" Sarah aked with the feeling of sorrow. She never wanted to hurt anyone or cause trouble.

Jack could see her emotions in her eyes."I am being honest when I say No. Black has been after the Poe's fir a long time. It really has to do with that. You were lucky to escape him because if he did get a hold of you he would of used you till he was done then you would of been sold off to work the sex trade. I promise you that I will do everything in my power to bring this man down. Sarah?" Jack passed

"Yes Jack?" She looked up him with passion in her eyes.

"When this is all over do you think ..." He took hold of her hands and held the to his chest. "...That you could see your self spending some time with someone like me?"

She smiled,"No Jack I cant..." His heart felt pain at this then she continued, "... I can see myself only spending time with you."

Jack was surprized and pulled her in to hia arms. He then bent down and kissed her. She tasted of sunshine and sugar. They kissed until their lips hurt and even then he did not want to let her go. Only after a few minutes did he walk her back inside and to her room.

"Good night beautiful, I can't wait till all of it is over to start spending time with you." he bent and gave her one last kiss before going to his room. He is now living on cloud nine.
