"Have you heard anything as yet?"

"Not yet sir."

"I don't want anything to happen to my son Bean."

"Sir, I am not worried about the master getting hurt. I am worried as to what he will do to the Duke."

"Oh."

"Yes sir."

"Oh dear, then you need to really find him fast."

"I agree sir."

"I mean we all know what he is capable of and if he gets it in his head to hurt Urban, he will find a way."

"Yes sir."

Billy lay staring at the ceiling. He was untied because the guards refused to go anywhere near him for fear of what he would do and he had this strange feeling they wanted him to escape. Billy always kept his promises and one promise he made and intended to keep was dealing with Karl for touching what was not his. He was just biding his time and intended to inflict major harm when the opportunity presented itself.

The door opened and Serkis entered cautiously, watching the figure on the bed. Billy didn't move so Serkis bought the tray into the room and placed it on the side table. He turned and flinched back as Billy's head turned and his green eyes bored into him.

"You're not going to hurt me are you?" Andy began slowly backing away, edging closer to the door and escape.

Billy watched as the nervous man moved toward the open door.

"Now why would I want to do that?" Billy asked softly.

"I don't know, sharpening your skills perhaps?" Andy mumbled.

"Ah yes, of course." Billy smiled. "There is that."

Andy didn't trust the smile on Billy's face. It reminded him of the way a tiger stalked his prey before pouncing.

Billy crossed his legs and Andy jumped.

"You loyal to Urban Serkis?"

"Um yes, I guess so." was the slightly puzzled reply.

"Hmmm, too bad."

Andy watched as Billy closed his eyes and gave every appearance of instantly falling asleep.

"I'm telling you, he's up to something." Andy paced the room he shared with Parker.

"Like what Andy? He hasn't *done* anything for the past few days."

"That's what worries me. He is too calm and he is almost pleasant. That can't be good." Andy took a seat near the window.

Craig watched as his partner shifted in the chair so much that the chair was minutely moving across the floor.

"So what do we do?"

"Craig, I honestly think we need to run as far away from the boss as possible because there is a bullseye painted on his chest and the prince is aiming at him."

"Any word yet?"

"No Daddy."

"Why isn't Bean calling?"

"Maybe because he is busy trying to find my brother?"

"Olivia the servants know something is up."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Cook gave me a raw chicken leg for dinner tonight."

"Are you sure it was raw Daddy?"

"The blood was still dripping from the severed leg Olivia."

"Why would Cook do that?"

"They blame me for Billy not being here."

""I'm sure they don't Daddy."

"What if they hear he has been kidnapped?"

"Uh, Daddy?"

"Or that Duke Urban has him hostage."

"Daddy, shhh."

"Olivia, why are you shushing me?"

Olivia turned her father around.

"Oh fu-ACK!"
