Monday Evening

Samantha Monroe stopped at her mailbox around 5:30 to retrieve the mail. Her husband was on a business trip. Samantha pulled the mail out of the box along with a wide suspicious envelope addressed to her. Her mind raced as she drove up to her three story mansion. She wondered what was in the envelope. She knew that she had not ordered anything lately. She turned the key and then the knob as she ran in to deactivate the alarm. Samantha walked to her bar and placed her items down. She proceeded to rip open the envelope as she saw the contents she became sick to her stomach. How could this be? she thought. Who would play such a horrible trick? Samantha looked at the ten pictures of her and her lover kissing and sharing some private moments she tried to pull herself together. She thumbed through the pictures as she came to the last picture she saw a note that read:

My name is Ironside and I want twenty million dollars by Wednesday morning. I will calll you with the rest of the details. If you want to save your marriage and your reputation. Do not say a word to anyone.

Samantha looked stunted as she could not believe this was happening to her. I'm being blackmailed. she thought. She knew that twenty million dollars was not a problem to come up with. Her problem was how would she be able to explain it to her husband Stephen, since they shared the same bank account.

Samantha went to the phone as she nervously tried to dial her lover's number. With tears swelling up in her eyes "I'm being blackmailed Ryan." "What!" yelled Ryan "By whom?" asked Ryan. "I do not know." said Samantha. "Where can I meet you Sam?" asked Ryan. "No, Ryan they might be watching." said Samantha. "You might be right."Just calm down Sam." said Ryan.

"How much are they asking for?" asked Ryan. "Twenty mill." said Samantha. "Twenty M-I-L-L-I-O-N stuttered Ryan. That is a lot of money." said Ryan. "I know but I'm not worrying about the money said Samantha. I just want this to go away." "Go and calm down I will call you back later ." said Ryan.

Around 9:00pm the phone rang."Hi Honey how are you doing?" "I'm fine." said Samantha. "What's wrong Samantha it sounds like you are crying." said Stephen. "No dear it's just my sinues." said Samantha. "When will you be home honey?" asked Samantha. "Well we will be finish on Thursday and I will be on the first plane leaving."O K honey I have to go now, I love you and I will see you then and make sure you take something for your sinues." said Stephen
