They walked into the hall where they met up with the other guard.

“So did anyone question the bartender or waiter or waitress?”

“Yeah, John did. He was on last night.”

“And?”

“We got nothing. The bartender and waitress had no idea how it got to her table. There's no video camera in the bar either."

"Okay, thanks guys I’ll give him a call. Needless to say we will have to be extra vigilant now that there is an actual threat.”

The men nodded and Wes and the one guard returned to Ginger's suite.

Ginger and Leena were sitting on the couch talking and Wes joined them.

“Ginger we need to take this threat seriously.” Wes told her gravely. Ginger nodded.

“You have one week left here. We need you to lay low. You go to the movie set and come right back here. That’s what I recommend.”

“But Leena…” Ginger whined.

Leena held up her hand to Ginger to stop her from speaking.

“Wes I promised Ginger she could attend the opening of a new club on Monday night.”

“That’s tomorrow Leena.”

“Yes I know but it’s a great PR opportunity.”

“Leena she’s just received a viable threat.”

“Come on Wes. If you’re with me I’ll be safe. I won’t leave your side.” Ginger pleaded.

“Ginger I know how you are at a club and there is no way you won’t be dancing.”

“So you can dance with me.”

“That’s not happening.”

“Well then one of your men will. How about that Jace guy?”

Wes had to laugh at her audacity. “You are unbelievable.”

“Make this happen Wes.” Leena said. “Her limo arrives tomorrow at 10pm.” Leena said.

Ginger stood up and said to no one in particular,

“I have a ‘to die for’ outfit picked out! I can’t wait!” before she sashayed back to her room.

“Leena she better not pull any crap. I don’t know if I can get Jace to come and I’m not dancing with her.”

“Did the video really personally hurt you Wes, or did you just not like how it was sprung on you?”

“She orchestrated it Leena. You know she did, and yes it has touched my personal life and I’m hoping I can fix it.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were dating anyone.”

“It’s not something anyone needs to know Leena. My private life and my team's private lives have nothing to do with this job.”
