After a few minutes of fighting Jack thought the fight was over. She had Jacky pinned to the ground and was sitting on top of her. Jack's dress was torn and her left breast was hanging out, and she was aware that Jacky's fingernails had scratched her shoulder drawing blood. 'Do you give up?'
'I think she does' a voice replied
Jack inwardly groaned. The voice that replied didn't belong to Jacky. It was Rick's voice and Jack looked up to see the man standing over her.
The man's hand reached down and wrapped around Jack's waist. He lifted her up as if she was a toy. 'What have we here?'
Jacky scrambled to her feet and took the opportunity to slap Jack. 'The bitch had Sharon's handbag'
'Oh? In that case how about we invite her in and thank her for returning it. You two have attracted enough attention already' Jack heard a door shutting somewhere.

'One of my women! Now why did you have my handbag? Where is Sharon?'
'I don't know a Sharon. I found the handbag in the garden' Jack's excuse sounded rather pathetic.
'I'm not sure I believe you. Why would you fight over a bag that you had just found?'
Jack realised that to make her excuse plausible she had to deny knowledge of Jacky. 'I was taking it back to show Jacob and that woman tried to grab it off me. I just fought back'
Jacky returned to the room, she had just located the medallion in it's hiding place in the handbag and was very relieved. 'She's hiding Sharon somewhere. Sharon wouldn't leave her bag'
Rick replied to Jacky 'We will have to leave. Your performance outside no doubt attracted attention. Someone will have called the police and I don't need their attention at the moment' He then turned back to Jack. 'You can pass on a message to Sharon......
