Everyone knows how much Mr. Flintstone likes you. I'm really happy for you. Sorry about what | said. | only adore Mr. Flintstone. | don’t have any romantic feelings for him,” said Imogen. She wanted Shirley to know she was a smart woman who knew her place.
Shirley smiled at her. “You'll find someone who loves you too.” “I hope so. Let's go. | checked the place. There is a shopping district around her. We're going to have so much fun,” said Imogen.
Shirley and Imogen hailed a ride to the shopping district. It didn’t take them long to arrive there. There were a lot of shops selling handmade items, and no two shops were alike. Shirley immediately picked one establishment and chose her presents.
Imogen was waiting for her at the coffee shop outside. She wasn’t buying anything. Instead, she was busy talking to her co-conspirators.

Now, they needed Imogen to take Shirley to their coffee shop. Once there, Shirley would be well within their trap.
Just then, Shirley returned with two items. Imogen complained, “Their coffee sucks. Let's find another shop.” Shirley nodded. So, Imogen held her arm and made their way to the coffee shop she and her fellow kidnappers designated. “That one looks nice, Shirley. She pointed at that coffee shop.
“Not a lot of customers, though.” Shirley frowned.
“Hey, sometimes shops like that are my cup of tea.” Imogen pulled her to the coffee shop.
Imogen entered the coffee shop only to see that the staff members were all overly muscular men. When the ladies were inside, the doors closed behind them with a clatter, and two waiters stood sentry.
Shirley knew something was off right then. So, she hastily gripped Imogen’s hand tightly in warning. “This isn't a coffee shop. Let's go.” Imogen cursed, “I can’t believe | brought you to a place like this.”
