"Where the fuck is he!! But more importantly, who the fuck are you!! And how the hell do you have my fucking number!!" I shouted, banging the hood of the car.
"Didn't I tell you NOT to ask questions?"
"Just let me speak to my son." I demanded.
"Fine."
"Daddy?" Jason's voice asked nervously. I gasped, "Buddy, are you okay?"
"Daddy, I miss you." He said.
"I miss you too." I replied. "Tell me where you are." I added. "I'm gonna come and-"
I didn't have to time to finish my sentence because the man who took Jason interrupted my sentence and said; "Sorry, he can't tell you where he is. Otherwise, I'm gonna have put him to sleep for eternity."
I tightened my jaw, "How long do I have?"
"To what?"
"To get the money and pay it to you." I said. "You have exactly 30-days." Another voice chimed in. But it wasn't a man's voice. It was a female's voice. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm Bill's partner." The girl said. Oh so the guy's name is Bill. "My name's Caitlin."
"So, Caitlin, where's my son?" I asked. "Sorry, can't tell you." Caitlin replied. "Anyways, you have exactly 30 days to give me the money in exchange for your son. If 30 days come by and you still don't have the money. You can say goodbye to your son." Bill said. "Do we have a deal?"
I really wanted to say no, but Jason's life was balancing on this deal, and if I say no, that stupid bastard's going to kill Jason. "It's a deal."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After the talk with Bill, I shoved my iPhone back inside my pocket and ran inside the mansion. I ran up the spiral glass stairs and into the bedroom that Crys and I share. I sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at the wall in front of me. Crys was laying on her back, staring at the ceiling. She was probably in deep thought so I didn't want to interrupt her. "Justin?" She asked, her voice weak. "What?"
"Are we ever going to see Jason again?"
"I don't know." I replied quietly. "I wish I did know."
I watched as she rose up from the bed and walked inside Jason's bedroom which was right across from our bedroom. I stared at her as she stood at the doorway of his room and began to sob, sob like she never did before. Hearing her cry like that made me feel like someone took a hammer and smashed my heart into a billion pieces. I stood up from the bed and walked over to where Crys was. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and kissed her cheek. "It's okay." I whispered. "We'll get him back, I promise."
She turned around, her tiny frame pressed up against me, wrapped her arms around my torso, and buried her head into my chest. "I miss him so much." She mumbled.
"I miss him too, but don't worry. We're gonna find him soon." I replied.
~~~THE NEXT DAY~~~
"Whoa!!" Crystal yelled from the bathroom followed by a thud. I woke up from my sleep and climbed out of bed. "What's wrong Crys?"
"Nothing!" She shouted. I walked over to the bathroom and opened the door wide. "Crys? What happened?" I asked. Crystal was laying face-flat on the cold-tiled floor of the bathroom. She lifted her head up, "I tripped over my own feet."
I laughed under my breath, "You're so clumsy."
"Hey, don't judge me." She said, getting back up on her feet. She brushed the dust off the back of her pants and dashed out of the bathroom. "I'm gonna make breakfast." She stated. I watched her disappear out the bedroom door before logging onto my laptop. "Time to do this without Crys knowing." I said.
"Without me knowing what?" Crystal asked as she came back into the bedroom right when I logged onto my laptop. "Um....nothing." I replied, slowly closing my laptop. "Justin...you're hiding something."
"No I'm not." I quickly said. "Just, going on twitter."
"Justin, tell me." She demanded. "It's nothing!" I shouted. "Nothing you should know about."
"Okay." She said, grabbing her iPhone from the nightstand and disappearing out the bedroom door again.
