Chapter 140: Ransom

Hello”

Nicklaus voice called out over the phone followed by a deep breath of satisfaction from Juliet.

“How’re you doing this fine morning? Hope you had a goodnights rest? Well...what was left of it”

“Cut the crap!”

Over Nick’s harsh tone Juliet sang humorless laugher. “My bad, how could you sleep well when your bed warmer is somewhere lost with another man? I was too impulsive, forgive me”

Her mocking voice seem to do the trick.

“Enough! Say what you wanna say and get lost”

“In that case, my night was fine, thanks for asking. I’ll text you the address now. You’ve got just thirty minutes to get there with my ransom of course, otherwise...”

“...I’ll leave you to imagine the worst-”

Nicklaus finger clicked the red button and ended the call. Her yammering usually had no effect on him but this time it was different. He was really losing it by the second. No doubt Juliet belongs in the psych ward, she’s like a mad dog that bites deep, not letting go until it’s got a good chomp!
