2020-10-12 14:11:48Charlie appeared over the next morning. After showing a press ID, Harvey escorted him into the study.
Kim greeted him and introduced him to Luke, who was pacing up and down with a worried expression.
Charlie scanned the letter briefly, then turned to Luke.
“Mr. Summer, I think Kim has already informed you how this will play out. I have brought a suitably prepared bag with me that you will take with you, and as soon as the handover starts, we will access it. My men are already in the process of submitting themselves to the cemetery, so you needn't worry. ”
“ All right, ”Luke nodded, but it was clear that he wasn't enthusiastic about the plan.
"No," Kim said spontaneously at that moment, "he won't go."
The men turned their heads to her in surprise, stared at her questioningly.
“Kim? What's the problem? ”Asked Charlie.
"You can't just send him there," Kim blurted out nervously. "It's too dangerous, you know what can go wrong there, I won't let that."
Charlie frowned, glanced at Kim. There was a brief moment of silence in the room, then he barely noticeably shook his head.
"Can I speak to you alone for a moment, please?"
Kim nodded. "Excuse us a moment," she said to Luke, and went over to her room.
Charlie followed her.
"Kim, are you all right?" He asked after she had closed the door and looked into her face searchingly.
“Of course, what's wrong?”
“I know you well enough to know when something is wrong. And I don't mean to offend you, but is it possible that you have a problem keeping your professional distance? ”
She swallowed. "Nonsense," she said hastily. “Only you yourself know the risks involved in handing over money like this. I think it's too dangerous to send him there, especially since the contents of the letters give rise to the suspicion that maybe it's not all about the money after all. "Again Charlie gave her a piercing look, and Kim quickly added," Besides - think To Wainsworth, you promised him that Luke Summer's hair wouldn't be bent. ”
Charlie thought for a moment, then nodded resignedly. "All right, and what do you suggest?" She
looked at him resolutely and said without hesitation, "I'll go."
A little later they were back in the study and Charlie informed Luke of Kim's suggestion. Luke turned pale and shook his head.
"No way, I'm not going to watch her risk her life for me, I'll go myself."
"Nothing will happen to me," Kim said, "It's better that way."
"If you're so sure then it's no problem if I do it myself. Besides, you don't look very much like me, that would be obvious, ”Luke said.
“It will be dark, I will put on a cap and the jacket that the letter speaks of. By the time the blackmailer gets close enough to notice something, it'll all be over. ”
Luke wanted to say something else, but Charlie, who had watched them both in silence and thought, got ahead of him.
“Mr. Summer, I've already discussed this with Kim, and we
both agree that this is the best way. ” “ Can't you send one of your men? ”
“ No, we must expect the house to be watched, it so would attract attention if someone came to the cemetery who did not start from here. And since we don't know whether the perpetrator comes from your environment, it would attract too much attention to smuggle someone in here now. Unfortunately, I am also out of the question because I am not nearly as slim as you. Plus, Kim is on par with her male colleagues, so it wouldn't make any difference, ”Charlie said.
Although Luke still didn't seem satisfied, he finally gave in.
"All right, then we have no choice," he said softly. "How is this all going to work?" It
was getting dark outside and Kim began to prepare to hand over the money.
She pulled on the bulletproof vest Charlie had brought and pulled on a sweater. Then she took her shoulder holster and her weapon out of the case and put them on. Then she went back over to the study, where Charlie and Luke were waiting for her. Charlie handed her a small radio, she tucked it under her vest, attached the tiny microphone to the inside of the neckline of her sweatshirt and put on the barely visible earplug. Then she slipped on Luke's baseball cap, carefully stuffed her hair under it, and then put on his jacket.
"Okay," she said then, and managed a smile despite the queasy feeling in her stomach, "I think I'm ready."
"Good," said Charlie, "you know what we were talking about if you feel like it if something goes wrong, you leave immediately. You're on the radio with Tom Baker, he's in charge, I'll be staying with Mr. Summer in the meantime. ”
“ All right, ”she nodded.
"Good luck, I'll let Tom know that you're driving now."
Charlie patted her shoulder again, turned away and took his cell phone out of his pocket.
Kim took the key to Harvey's car, which Luke had also given him that afternoon, and picked up the bag with the bundles of papers. At that moment, Luke, who had watched the whole thing in silence and with pressed lips, came over to her. He carefully pushed a loose strand of hair under her cap and looked at her worriedly.
"Take care of yourself," he said softly.
Their eyes met for seconds, then Kim smiled. "It will work out."

Stuck With Him Disappear
They spent the rest of the day in the studio. Luke was busy with his music as usual, while Kim's mind jumped wildly.The conversation with Charlie was still in her stomach, she didn't like the fact that he was aware of her connection to Luke at the time. Then she had to keep thinking about what was going to happen next, she was sure that the whole thing was not over yet. After the mission had failed so miserably the previous night, it was to be expected that the stranger would try again, and she racked her mind again who could be behind it.Unobtrusively and carefully, she observed the three men who were playing music with Luke, but they all behaved completely normal and unsuspicious. She made up her mind to take another look at each individual as soon as Charlie had emailed her the evaluations.Then her gaze fell on Luke again, and she remembered how worried he had been for her last night. She wondered whether she might not have misjudged him on the basis of he
Stuck With Him In every way
When Kim woke up the next day, it was already late morning. The previous evening's events flashed back to her immediately and she began to brood.She didn't regret that she'd acted against Tom's instructions and walked around the crypt instead of disappearing. The area would certainly have been thoroughly searched the next day, but who knows whether the Walkman would still have been there. She only quarreled with the fact that she had made the suggestion that she should go to the cemetery in Luke's place, she still had the dull suspicion that someone in the house had noticed something."Maybe it would have been better if Luke had gone himself," she thought with discomfort.But the fear that something might have happened to him then immediately made this thought disappear again. No, it was good that she had tried, since she was still not sure whether the stranger was really after money, she might have prevented something worse.While she was still sitting
Stuck With Him Stayed
While Kim stood rooted to the spot and was stunned by the fact that this song meant nothing more than that her plan had already been seen through in advance, the men of the emergency team rushed towards her from all sides, especially Tom."Damn it, what were you thinking?" He snapped angrily.She looked at him irritated, first pulled the earplug of the Walkman, then the one of the radio out of her ear."Can you tell me what that was about?" Tom raged on. "Why are you defying my instructions?""Nothing happened," Kim said meekly, "But ..."Tom interrupted her. "I don't want to hear any more, you can discuss this with Charlie later."He turned away and took out his cell phone, and Kim knew he would call Charlie and tell him everything.Meanwhile, the men turned the entire area around the crypt upside down. They had brought in searchlights and combed every inch of the surrounding area, but to no avail. Aside from a plethora of footprints
Stuck With Him Unmistakable
Tense Kim drove the car through the night streets of Sunville in the direction of the cemetery."I'll be right there," she said into the microphone, and seconds later heard Tom's voice in her ear."Okay, we're ready."She parked the car in front of the entrance, got out, and took the bag from the back seat.She looked around examiningly, there was no one to be seen far and wide.It was a moonless night, and she was pleased to see that the cemetery was in deep darkness, so it wouldn't be easy to see that she wasn't Luke.She walked slowly through the gate, then stopped hesitantly."Stay on the main path so we can see you," Tom instructed.Kim followed his request, took small steps forward, constantly looking around in all directions.After a few minutes the crypt came into view, gloomy and threatening it loomed in the darkness before her."Not too close, otherwise we won't have a view," came the earphone again.

Stuck With Him Guarantee
A few days went by without any more letters or anything happening.Kim had called Charlie again briefly that afternoon, who could only advise her to wait and keep an eye on Luke. Checking the names hadn't revealed anything suspicious so far, and as expected, no usable traces had been found on the envelopes either, so Kim sighed and accepted her fate and followed Luke every step of the way. She had to listen to one or two amused comments from him now and then, but he seemed to be slowly accepting her presence and she tried not to take his remarks too seriously.They had breakfast together every morning, then went jogging together and then they mostly went to the studio, where Luke and the boys continued to work on his new album, and Kim sat quietly in the armchair, reading a book or just listening.Luke was often alone in the studio, trying out different melodies on his guitar and writing down dozen of sheets of music without noticing Kim, who watched and listene
