"They think they've won. They think they've beaten us."Jake nodded, his eyes burning with anger. "But they haven't. Let's make them regret ever crossing us."They crept closer to the group, guns at the ready. But before they could make a move, one of the culprits spotted them and sounded the alarm.A fight broke out, fists flying and guns blazing.

"We can work something out. Let us go, and we won't tell anyone what happened here tonight."The mastermind laughed the sound grating on Ethan's nerves."You think we're stupid?" he said. "We know that you're too dangerous to let go. You'll come after us as soon as you get the chance."Ethan shook his head, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a plan.He couldn't let Emily get hurt. He had to protect her.

Emily spent the next few days trying to come up with a plan. She couldn't ask Ethan for help, as she didn't want to endanger him.Finally, she came up with an idea. She would pretend to be a jewelry appraiser and offer to evaluate the diamond for the man who wanted it. This way, she could get her hands on the diamond, and then deliver it to the man without raising suspicion.She spent the next few days researching everything she could about diamonds, learning everything she needed to know to pull off her plan.And then, she put her plan into action.She made contact with the man and told him that she was an appraiser who could evaluate the diamond for him.

Emily took one look at it and knew that it was worth millions of dollars.She spent the next few hours evaluating the diamond, taking detailed note

He arrived soon after, a tall, muscular man with a serious look on his face."What's the plan?" he asked.Ethan explained everything, and the man nodded."I can help you," he said. "But it won't be easy."Together, they came up with a plan. They would sneak into the boss's headquarters, find the evidence they needed, and then get out without being caught.It was risky, but it was their only chance.As they made their way through the building, Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that they could be caught at any moment.Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching."Quick, hide!" Ethan whispered.They ducked behind a nearby pillar, just as two guards walked past.Emily's heart was racing as they continued, finally reaching the room where the evidence was stored.But just as they were about to grab it, the boss appeared, flanked by his men."Well, well, well," he said. "I see you've come to steal from me."Emily and Ethan stood frozen, unsure of what to do.But then, t

Emily had a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I'm in. What's the plan?"The man grinned. "First, we need to get you and your husband to safety. The boss is going to be coming after you now that you have that evidence."Emily felt a pang of fear in her chest. "How do we get to safety?""I have a safe house a few hours away from here," the man said. "We can take you there."Emily hesitated. "What about the evidence? We need to get it to the authorities.""We'll do that, too," the man said. "But we need to make sure you're safe first."Emily nodded. "Okay, let's do it."They made their way back to Ethan's car and the man gave them directions to the safe house. They drove in silence for a while, each lost in their thoughts.Finally, Ethan spoke up. "Do you trust that guy?"Emily hesitated. "I don't know. But we don't have a choice at this point."Ethan nodded. "I just don't want you to get hurt.""I'll be okay," Emily said, placing a reassuring hand on his arm.They arrived at the safe house

The men took them to a dark basement, and they were thrown into a corner. Emily winced in pain as her body hit the concrete floor, and she could feel her arms starting to bruise from the man's grip.Ethan got up, anger boiling in his veins. He walked up to the boss and got into his face."You think you can scare us into submission?" Ethan asked, his voice cold and hard. "You have no idea who you're dealing with."The boss laughed again. "Oh, I think I do. You're just a washed-up former detective, and she's just a pretty face with a trust fund. You're nothing compared to me."Emily watched as Ethan's fists clenched tighter, and she knew he was about to explode. She reached out and touched his arm, hoping to calm him down.But before she could say anything, the boss's phone rang. He answered it, and Emily could hear a voice on the other end."What do you mean they're missing?" the boss growled into the phone. "Find them, and find them fast. I want them dead."Emily's heart sank, and she
