CHAPTER 14 FARINAH IN TROUBLE, AMI CAUGHT IN BETWEEN
As it happened, as soon as the Al Fahezi entourage landed in Abu Dhabi, there was no time to rest nor get in touch with the Gonzales group aboard the Siren of the North. It was utter chaos, the Al Fahezi household was disorganized with Farinah missing. The nannies who remained were fearful they would be blamed for the disappearance of the girl. There were police cars outside the villa and the normally peaceful Al Reef area was suddenly caught in the mayhem. The Sheikha was beside herself and Ami tried to console her as best she could.
“Madam, the police are looking into the matter and I believe Sir Abdullah’s influence will hopefully help.” comforted Ami.
“I don’t know Habibti, if only I insisted on bringing Far

Ali was stuck in traffic for almost two hours thereby costing him precious time to get to Ami.

Ami was not sure what to do next and not wanting to risk discovery, she quietly went inside the room.These kidnappers are either dim-witted or just plain stupid. But she couldn’t complain because she was left with all the resources she needed to save Farinah. She checked her watch, 1:30 am. She crawled towards the window and peeked under the balcony, there, how had she missed the slide lock catch underneath the terrace floor. She approached the sleeping girl again and tested her weight, a bit heavy but if she did a fireman’s carry, she could manage Farinah. She stepped out onto the balcony again and took a glance at the rest of the suite, the curtains look to be the same as they were earlier. She was about to haul Farinah to her shoulder when her phone vibrated. It said, “Ami, stay put, Mansour and I are coming with a few police friends.” “Oh blast!” cried Ami a bit loudly but no sound cam
