She's the Governors daughter btw! Not the Mayors. =P
"Antonio Caggliano huh? Well isn't that something. I've got some friends that know some people that will deal with trouble from him for me.
Don't worry about it, it won't be anything bad. I just know some people in high places you know?
You...you on the other hand..."
Jimmy would laugh heartily while shaking his head a bit, before continuing.
"....you could be in a lot of trouble.
So I don't think I'll be stopping this car until I either hit another light or we get to little Italy.
After all..."
Ginger laughed softly at the mention of her "being in a lot of trouble"....she knew he was right, but didn't want to think about it much.
Jimmy would then wink her way before going on about how it would be rude to just drop her off - a statement that made her smile grow, as she twisted a strand of her hair around her finger.
When he mentioned Blues & Jazz, Ginger was pleasantly surprised in his interest in both......but the casual conversing between the two wouldn't last long, for when he turned up the radio there was a news bulletin proclaiming that; "The Governors daughter has been kidnapped"
"WHAT!?" she yelled, before listening to the full announcement.
"I can't beleive Jordan actually told them i was kidnapped, that's nuts." she'd complain, before turning the radio down.
"Well looks like our day just got a little more exciting.
Listen, maybe we should have a slight change of plans, how are you on getting out of the city for a bit? I know a place in Jersey, just across the river."
Ginger listened as Jimmy told her stories of his childhood, and she'd smiled at her own memories of the beach.
"Listen to me rattling on like you don't have some stories of your own to tell huh?
So tell me something about you... any psychotic boyfriends or ex-boyfriends I need to know about?
Some memory you've been keeping tucked away in that head of yours?
You can trust me, after all if you can't trust your kidnapper who can you trust huh?" he'd say jokingly.
"Oh well gee, with that i think i'll tell ya my whole life story now!" she joked back, before looking down at her bag where her phones were. She knew her family was probably trying to contact her frantically, which caused a knot to form in her stomach.
"I should call them" she'd think to herself.....but her desire to spend the day with someone new, outweighed her want to contact home at the moment. So after sighing softly to herself, Ginger turned her head towards Jimmy with a small smile on her face.
"No psycho boyfriends, i promise.
You see, my familys been in the political realm for a while now, so dating isn't something that's really easy to do. My sisters are lucky, they had High School sweethearts. Me, i dated a couple guys in high school, but both ended well before graduation......so no H.S. sweetheart for me. It's been a rather uneventful road, in terms of relationships, ever since."
She'd clear her throat a bit before quickly putting on a broad smile to lighten the mood.
"But never mind that, I um.....don't mind going to Jersey, use to live there myself and i haven't been back in a while. Plus it would be nice to see the ocean too, but I just feel, well, i don't know....."
Ginger would shimmy down in her seat some and stare down at her legs for a moment, before speaking up again.
"......worried. I can't beleive he told them i was kidnapped, you know? If they found us i'd of course tell them you didn't kidnap me, but my father would probably still want to make your life hell for the foreseeable future....."
As they reached the GWB Ginger pressed her glasses tight against her face, and pinned as much of her hair underneath his hat as she could. And as Jimmy paid the toll, she'd look nervously in the other direction - hoping that no one would recognize them.
"Oh thank God!" she'd whisper, as soon as they were able to continue over into Jersey.
It was now nearly 3pm, and they seemed to miss the worse of the afternoon traffic going into NJ.
"Gah...." she'd mutter as her stomach suddenly began to rumble, before turning the radio back up at the sound of the DJs coming on again.
"Hey this is your groovy fresh DJ Nala King, hope everybody's having a lovely day out there. So, we're just getting a print out here in the studio, and we're suppose to let yous guys know that the kidnapping of Ginger Caggliano was a mistaken report?"
"Mistaken report?" the other DJ, Tommy T., would chime in with.
"Yeah, a mistaken report - that's coming directly from the Governors aid apparently."
"That's one hell of a damn mistake, if you ask me." said Tommy.
"Couldn't agree more, i think someone just lost their job for sure. But lets get on with other news, such as the record breaking........
Ginger would quickly sit up and turn the radio volume down again before flopping back into her seat and laughing.
"A mistake? Are they serious?? Thank God you're not a real kidnapper, because i don't think they get a deaf dumb and blind person not to suspect something was amiss in that retraction!
Well, at least we won't have normal people looking for us left and right, but i guarantee you my father and the NYPD are still looking....i hope this beach house you have is a somewhat secluded place."
