the road,”
suggested Saki, also realising that the blame would lead to Donald.
    “Excellent! We can go bowling as well then,” added Lela.
    Tom winced. Lela was unbelievably good at ten
pin bowling. In fact, she was good at anything which involved hand-to-eye coordination, a by-product of her intensive martial arts
training.
    The rest
of the meal passed without incident and Donald quickly excused himself to make
the call which would answer Rachel’s questions. Just
what he needed, he thought to himself as he walked to his study. He was in the
final stages of completing the largest corporate deal ever. Alba was bidding to
buy IBC Ltd and would, if accepted, result in Alba becoming the largest
corporation in the world and making Donald the richest man alive. Donald would
employ more people than the Chinese Army and Wal-Mart combined. The deadline
for bids to purchase IBC was Friday 12 th August, less than 36 hours away.

    Conor finalised the details of the
plan. He had spent the morning and early afternoon going over and over the
results of their painstaking research of the Estate. If the answer were there,
he couldn’t see it. The only option was to trigger the alarm and go for it, the
police reaction would be minimal, they certainly would not be expecting nine
heavily armed and experienced Irish Nationalists.
    Conors crew had spent the last two
weeks spending the millions they would receive from ransoming the two kids.
Giving up was not an option and they all agreed to go ahead with the plan, except
for one person, Sinead. Sinead was Conor’s number two
and didn’t like it. She couldn’t help think that a man who spent that amount of money on visible security, probably spent at least the
same amount on stuff they hadn’t seen. She voiced her concerns but they were
ignored even though she was brighter, tougher and a damn site more ruthless
than Conor . Had she not been a woman, she would most
certainly have been the leader of the crew. Mercenaries in Ireland had still
not caught up with equal rights. She couldn’t help think that they were making
a huge mistake.
    The plan was simple. That night, just after dark, they would use
long ramps to get four high powered motorcycles into
the grounds. Within 3 minutes, they would be at the house, grab the kids and
use one of the Kennedys’ high powered boats to cross
the Loch to two cars waiting on the other side. They would then drive the cars
under tree cover to avoid detection by helicopter to the safe house 30 miles
away. They would then issue their demands and either give the kids back or kill
them, whichever proved easiest.
    They began to prepare themselves for that night’s operation. Two
of the team went back to the main gates to monitor all comings and goings. Two
other members of the team set about constructing the ramps required to scale
the walls, while the others prepared the weapons and vehicles.

    Tom and Lela had also excused themselves from the table,
explaining they needed to get ready for their friends’ arrival However, instead
of going their separate ways, they both went straight to Tom’s room.
    “OK,” Tom said closing his door. “What do you think about this
new school?” he asked.
    “I don’t know, I mean, we don’t even know where it is and I can
see why your mum is angry. By the sounds of it, your dad had accepted,” replied
Lela as she sat on her favourite bean bag .
    “I know, he forgets he’s not the boss sometimes, at least when it
comes to home.”
    “So what about you?” asked Lela.
    “I thought it sounded really cool but I want to see if we can
find where it is.”
    “How??”
    “My dad mentioned a couple of clues, remember he said it was on
one of two islands cloaked in secrecy and it must have been built within the
last five years because that’s when that bankruptcy happened, yeah?”
    “Yes but…” Lela stopped, she knew Tom better than
