wherewithal to push her speed dial for Odin and hit the mute button. She quickly pushed the phone in her bag as she was stuffed down and a smelly cloth was pushed in her face. Her last thoughts were of Odin.
    * * * * * * * *
    Odin felt his phone, saw it was Sally and picked it up. “Yea h, honey?” he was making a cup of coffee, and as he listened his thoughts became wild. All he could hear was Arabic screaming, though it was muffled. He couldn’t hear Sally but all of a sudden he heard Olivia and she didn’t sound happy.
    “What the hell did you put in my face? My head is killing me . Oh my God, you have Sally.”
    Odin heard someone say “Shut her up ,” in Arabic. He put his phone on mute and yelled for Thor as he ran for the security computer. He hit a few keys and knew he had activated the alarm.
    Thor was in his J ag, on his way to meet up with Olivia, and give her a ride to her first class when the alarm went off. He didn’t have to be told what was happening. He slammed the gear into drive and let the big car take off. He was screaming around the corner when he saw a woman stuffed into a late model sedan. He wasn’t sure what Sally had been wearing, knowing it wasn’t Olivia, but he knew whatever the alarm was about it was happening right down the road.
    The car leaped forward and Thor was pulling a Glock and a tracking device out of his locked box as he drove. He was almost up to the car that he was sure had at least one of the girls. Thor saw it had rental plates on. He made a mental note of the number when all of a sudden a jogger ran out in front of him. He slammed on his breaks and the car veered around the next corner. He put the car in park and jumped out. He saw a few college guys standing there their mouths hanging open. One yelled, “Someone took the girls, Olivia and Sally.”
    Thor yelled as he ran. “Watch the car and I’ll pay you guys .”
    Thor ran , and was almost near enough. He saw a lot of movement going on in the backseat. It must be Olivia. If the situation weren’t so dire he would have smiled because he knew she was probably giving them a fit right now. He made a flying leap and hit the sedan’s roof. He let a tracker slam on the roof and then he pile drove his fist with his Glock through the back window. He heard Sally’s scream and then words that chilled him.
    “Do that , you cursed infidel fool, and I will put a bullet through both of their skulls!” To prove his point the man yanked Olivia by her hair and pointed the gun to her head. She screamed and her eyes were wild. Thor saw pain and fear in her eyes.
    Thor then looked at the kidnapper in the eyes. “Should the girls come to any harm, you will wish you, your family, anyone who you have ever come in contact with , had never been born. Nothing will stop us from hunting you down like dogs that you are. We will take revenge. Stop now, and maybe I won’t hunt you like an animal. Continue, and you are dead men.”
    He looked at Olivia one last time, saw Sally coming to and moving. Heard her whimper.
    “Don’t worry Olivia, we will get you and Sally back.”
    Sally was pic king her head up when she felt a slap and a push. Olivia screamed again and Sally was sure Olivia was lashing out. She still couldn’t see. Her eyes stung and her head was splitting but she could hear and feel Olivia.
    She heard a stream of Arabic again and the car flew around a corner and then another. She made out that they were going to the airport but nothing more since her Arabic was rusty. She had been studying the language for a year. She heard another woman cry and wondered if there was someone else. She heard the man next to her tell the driver to shut the one in the front up. She heard a slap and then whimpering.
    Thor let his hand slip and he slid off the back of the car. Just as he hit the pavement Odin came running up behind him.
    “What happened, why did you let them get away?”
    Thor stood, head down, “They had a gun to Olivia’s
