*I could hear footsteps on the stairs. I turned to the man I'd set free.*
We're running out of time. What's the best way to get out of here? A servant's stair, a trellis from a window, anything! He'll be here any moment.
*I tried to conceal my growing worry. We'd be trapped in this room if we didn't hurry.*

Jeff quickly ran up to the fireplace.
"I'd never thought I'd be able to use this, but I suppose today is my lucky day"
He pulled the third brick from the left and two bricks down, outwards. Suddenly the fireplace swung sideways revealing a secret passage but also caused a a bookcase passageway to open as well.
"This way," he gestured.
After dashing behind the fireplace, they climbed down the ladder to the start of a long escape tunnel. Jeff stopped and turned to face his rescuer.
"With luck, my 'butler' will chose the open bookcase escape route, which will empties into the trash chute"

*I laughed to myself... This was a brilliant solution. I followed him down the passage.*
Very clever... Where does this let out? We'll need a car, and mine is parked at the street in front of your house.
*A sudden flash of irritation struck me... My shoes were still outside the front window. I liked those shoes, and I probably wouldn't be able to go back for them for a while. I depended on the extra inches those shoes added... and I never like leaving potential weapons behind. I sighed. I'd just have to make do for now. Besides, it looked like we were free and clear, at least for a while.*

(Note: Stop calling me the butler. Jeff, how would you even know that Gena though I was your butler? That don make any sence!)
As I was walking up the stairs, I couldn't help thinking that I made a mistake telling Amarie that I was holding Jeff hostage. I should not have even opened the door, but my curiosity got the better of me that time, I just can't pass up a potential piece of useful information. I could only hope that the name she gave me was not a fake, then I could find out more.
*Sees the open door, loose rope on floor, and two secret openings
"Bloody hell!"
Must have been Amarie, she's either EPOSWAS or a really brave relative. Damn, I knew I should have just taken Jeff to a safe hideout and not wasted time here. I guessed that both of the passageways were boobytrapped, Jeff would not allow a 50% chance of failure for his getaway plan. I ran outside just in case the police were on their way.

((Future reference? Gina, not Gena. It'd be a tiny bit easier to not call you the butler if we knew you weren't. To the best of my knowledge, you Are, and no one has said otherwise. So what we assume is that you are someone who is posing as the butler, but if you wish to specify so we know, that'd be good too. That may not have made much sense, but I hope it did. Just trying to be helpful...))

I dropped the phone in shock
The Jeff's being held for ransom!
10 grand... what sort of movies was that guy watching? Does he think I actually get paid a lot for taking these cases?!?!?!?!
Well, the Great Neone Prive Eye never gives in to bribery! I will be there at the dock... but he won't see me! I laughed
Not to mention that he may be wearing a mask, but I can certainly recognise his voice. Especially if it is recorded in one of the police gramaphone record interviews (Hey~! Why not?). I'm sure that whoever took The Jeff is somehow related to Geneva's disapearance. Why else would he be so interested in the Tanzenite?!
I'm on the case! POSE

There is a PI posing like a PB (professional beauty) in front of me
ransom? well, the EPOSWAS has funds, most of us being high society femme fatale, on the shady side of the law
we can get however much they want "made" ^.~
doesn't matter what it costs, WE NEED GENEVA BACK!!!!!
hell, if necessary, you can can cover me, whilst i stand in the open with the money
NO ONE can take down an EPOSWAS on a mission, especially one involving our beloved geneva!
*charlie's angel type pose*
(time for some jane bond)
sides, you never catch an EPOSWAS unarmed
..... now excuse me as i go rack up the um... money

*Lets out a small laugh*
I could say the same thing about you... And sorry, but Thursday nights is cards night, looks like you missed out...
Perhaps I'm making this too complex for you... Allow me to put it simply... *Pulls his gun out and points with deadly aim* Tell me what I want to know.

Things have just taken a hideous turn for the worse! What will become of our dear EPOSWAS heroine? Find out after this commercial break!

Geneva stands with startlement, knocking her chair over as she back into it. Her hand clutched protectively to her chest, her eyes widen like a deer caught in the headlights.
The small girl looks even more tiny next to the rough bloodthirst of the merciless villan. Her eyes well with tears, and reflected in the their golden pools, the harsh gleam of the gun sits, unwavering.
And just as it looks like she might burst and tell the whole truth...!
"You know, something really quite amusing just occured to me."
Geneva is suddenly the picture of composure and sinister innocence.
"If you kill me, I can't possibly tell you what you want to know, now can I?"
She smiles dazzelingly at the ruthless mobster.

*Pulls the trigger... Click!*
Hmmm... Wrong chamber was ready... *Flips out the bullet chamber and views the bullets remaining* A little russian roulette perhaps? *Spins the bullet chamber and stops it abruptly* *Points it at you again* *Returns it to it's holster* Perhaps not, I rather do like keeping you alive for now... At least as long as I still need information...
*Takes a seat*
Ok, you don't want to talk about the muffin... Fair enough, you don't tell a stranger everything about yourself on the first meeting I suppose... Tell me something else... The tanzanite... Why do you want it? I doubt it's because you think it "looks pretty"... All gemstones have a greater use to them... A new weapon perhaps? Stop me if I've gone to far already...

Geneva glares at kk. "Didn't anyone ever tell you to offer the chair to the lady?" She sighs and holds out her hand. "OBVIOUSLY I think it's just pretty or I wouldn't be wearing this ring of it!" "You think I'd wear a WEAPON on my fingers?! COME now, you MUST know by now that the EPOSWAS aren't that sly..." She smiles unconvincingly at him. If i can get him suspicious of the tazanite, then he won't be thinking of the muffin, which is good. Maybe I can even convince him to take me to whereever he hid my rocks and maybe I won't lose all that money after all...
