They continued with their shopping, laughing and joking around. They even went into a jewelry store to look at the different earrings that were on display. Cassie bought Janet ruby and diamond earrings and a necklace set since it was her birthday in three days time and there was a half price sale going on.
While Cassie was buying them, Sam was looking at the different rings that they had displayed; she saw one that she liked. A couple of minutes later Cassie joined her.
“Hey, found something you like?”
“Yes, that one there.”
Sam pointed to an emerald cut emerald with diamonds on each side of the 18ct gold ring.
“That is a lovely ring Sam.”
“It is, come on lets go to the base to see what your mom is up to.”
“How about trying it on?”
“I don’t know Cassie” then a shop assistant walked over to them.
“Hello, can I help you with anything?”
“Yes, this ring here” Cassie pointed it out.
“Which one?”
“This one, 151171.”
“I see it, ok” she got it out of the case so they could have a better look at it.
“Try it on Sam.”
“I don’t know Cassie.”
“Here let me”
Cassie grabbed her left hand and took the diamond ring off and put the emerald and diamond one on.
“It’s a fit Sam,” she said grinning.
“Yes it does and it is a lovely ring.”
Sam took it off and put Pete’s ring back on and then she passed the ring back to the assistant.
“Thank you. You know it is a half price sale?”
“I know, perhaps another day. Come on Cassie, we had better get going” they smiled just before they left.
They left the mall and headed to the mountain. When they arrived there, they bumped into Daniel who was reading a book.
“Sorry” then he looked up to see who it was.
“Sam, Cassie, I thought you two were shopping?”
“We just finished and we came to see what mom would like for dinner.”
“Ok, ah Sam, can I see you for a few minutes?”
“I’ll go, see you later Sam.”
“Ok Cassie” then she was away.
They turned to go to Daniel’s office and as soon as they were in, Daniel closed the doors.
“Ok Daniel, what is it?”
“Jack told me about the blackmail and I’ve seen the disk.”
Sam sat down on one of the stools at the table looking upset and then a tear started to fall. Daniel put his book and coffee down, then walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.
“I don’t know what to do. I’m used to solving problems but I can’t seem to fix this one.”
“I’m sure you can think of something Sam. If not you then perhaps Jack will come up with something. What ever happens we will be there for you.”
“I know, thanks.”
