When we left Lilac and Bruce, they were being held at gunpoint by Don Pevar, a powerful politician whom Lilac thought was a friend. Will they escape yet again from these deadly criminals? Or will this be their last adventure, and the end of the Goddess as well?

"Lilac, you really should have cooperated with my associates. Now things are going to be a lot more complicated. Do as you are told, and you and your friend won't be harmed."
Lilac, pretending to be frightened, nodded. Bruce did likewise. "I will need your phones please." Said Mr. Pevar. After they reluctantly handed them over, he turned to watch the road, and Lilac quickly drew her pistol.
She kept it hidden, letting him drive wherever he would. He kept a close eye on them, but she had it well positioned. When he slowed, obviously preparing to turn into a long winding driveway, she pressed the gun to back of his head.
"Stop right here." Said Lilac calmly. Mr. Pevar did so, and Bruce quickly took his weapon and keys, and recovered their phones as well as Don's.
"Bruce, do you have any rope? We need to tie him up."
"Not on me. Let me check the trunk while you keep our friend company."
Bruce returned with a length of nylon rope, some emergency flares, a thin blanket, bandages, and a few power bars, all neatly packed in an emergency kit.
"That was handy, thanks Don!" Said Lilac. Don glared at her. Lilac laughed. "Where's your sense of humor? He kept glaring silently.
Ignoring him, she enjoyed a power bar while Bruce secured the rope around Don's hands and feet. Lilac then found a rag which had obviously seen a few trips to the car wash in the trunk to use for a gag.
They laid him on the car's floor, with the blanket over him so the car would appear empty when they left him. The two then tucked away the remaining supplies in pockets, and Bruce drove the Cadillac down the driveway while Lilac ducked down.
