Chapter 28

Max was heaving, he was so angry and didn't know how to handle it without changing but he had to, to get revenge on that old woman. How could she do this, even better how could they be so stupid but to trust the mother of someone his wife had killed. Even if it was self defence, she still took the life of another it isn't surprising that she decided revenge was a dish served best cold.

It all makes sense, the places that were targeted where the places that everyone who mattered to D were, including her daughter. The fact that people came to both Max and Darley and virtually held them in place, it all makes so much sense. Mary wasn't anywhere to be seen after the bombing, or in the coming weeks.

She killed the Queen, and now she has to pay.

He watched as his wife slept, he had to tell her what he thought but he couldn't she would start from the beginning again, how she was when her grandma first died, she wouldn't sleep constantly looking over their shoulder, she won't leave thier daughter alone, at all. She had a feeling that she was next. So it was easier that she had constant eyes on her, Max was worried. He didn't want this to happen again.

Mary, she had wormed her way in and waited until all of us were in the same room, but because she was there it wasn't obivous at first, they trusted her, god knows why would you trust the people who killed your daughter.

Max went downstairs to the security, he ordered to get him the lead investigator on the phone. They complied.

"Sir." Damien answered.

"I know who did it, its the only thing that makes sense." Max told him everything about Mary and what had happened between them. He listened.

"We have had suspicions for a while." Damien admitted. Max wasn't happy with this.

"Why haven't you said anything?" He asked

"She hasn't done anything that we can pull her on, she's being watched constantly and we have tapped into her phone and wifi signal. The only thing she has done is look at airlines but she has yet to book anything." Max thought, he could guess why.

"We have yet to make the date of the funeral public knowledge, I think she will wait for this time. When the whole country is distracted she will make a run for it, mark my words." Max and Damien came up with a plan, disperse with her security and tell the press we have someone in custody, then make the date for the funeral public knowlegde and see if she books a flight, the net is closing. She will be caught.

Over the next few days it ran like clockwork, the date was announced, and low and behold Mary booked a flight to Washington DC where she has contacted her apparent family who live there, she is going to seek aslyum there on the basis that because she has family there she can become an American Citizen. A man had been arrested in connection with the bombing and as far as the country knows its all over.

Except it is all a trap.

She is smart enough to know that they are in her WIFi and that they know her plan, they fully expect her to show up at the funeral. She wants to see what she has done to Max and his wife, the woman who murdered her child. She will be there, and when she does something stupid she will be caught and she will be arrested for the murder of their Queen.

Snow was taken by the police and kept there, she will be safe no matter what. They will not get to her.

Max looked at his wife on the day of the funeral, she was all in black and her anxiety was setting in, she knew what was going to happen but it didn't mean she wanted it to happen.

They went to the car and got in, the entire ride was a blur he was nervous, he knew there was a chance it wasn't going to go well.

They got to the cemetary where the cermony was taking place, in case you don't know this isn't a real service it was a fake one to draw her here.

They got the coffin out of the hearse and the funeral procession started. The guards were looking all around, so far she wasn't in sight. They were starting to get worried.

The funeral ended with nothing happening. Darley walked to the side near a tree to be on her own, sort of anyway. But that is the biggest she has made to yet. a gun cocked and got pressed against her temple. Someone came to her ear.

"Guess who."
