In The Blink Of An Eye

The Mess You Made

"His name is Ted Madruga...."

"I'M SORRY WHAT? DID YOU JUST SAY TED MADRUGA???"

"Do you know him?!?"

"You've got to be fucken kidding me. What the fuck was Hannah doing visiting him in jail?"

"Well Ted was the murderer of a girl named Jennifer. He was boyfriend and they found her fingerprints and other stuff in his car so they took him in."

"How the fuck did he kill Evan is he is in jail?"

"He got out thanks to the man without a face. Supposedly somehow the evidence they had on him was incorrect and mistaken with someone else."

"That happened 10 years ago... there is no way."

"Well, it seems when you get the man without a face involved, anything is possible. Ted is actually one of the men that's most loyal to MWAF. He will do anything to keep himself out of jail again."

"He killed an innocent man, he left a child without her father and me without a husband. That is for sure one way to get his ass back in jail."

"Not if he doesn't get caught."

"I need to find him and you need to help me. Can you help me do that?"

"Look I know you want to find Ted and you have every right to but he is a very dangerous man and not someone you should ever get in contact with."

"Yeah well... looks like I have no choice."

I don't know where Jake was all this time or how long he had been there but the minute he heard about Ted, he completely lost it. He came out from behind the building and grabbed me by my arm and pulled me towards him.

When Daron saw Jake, he looked at me and I could tell how frustrated and mad he got.

"Is that how much you trust me? You had your boyfriend hide and spy on us?"

"I didn't know he followed me I swear..."

"Fuck you man, you think I'm just going to let you sweet talk your way into dragging her around Ted and the rest of your company. How fucken dumb do you think I am?"

"Jake!!! Enough! I asked you nicely not to follow me and you couldn't even trust me enough to do that."

"The deal is off! You can find them yourself. I am trying to help you but I can't do that if you won't even trust me."

"Daron, wait! I didn't know that he was coming I swear."

"Madisyn, I've had just about enough. Get in the car right now and we're going home. And you... don't ever again contact her. Am I making myself clear? You literally just said that she is the final prize. So her life for the sake of all your pleasure of watching her die, is that it? If you step a foot close to her again I swear to God I will blow your fucken brains out!"

Could you imagine the chaos of all the people around us? They were all standing there watching and recording as if we had been putting on a free show! I was beyond pissed!!!! I couldn't believe that Jake would do such a thing. The last thing I needed right now was this mess getting everywhere online because of people and their recordings. I looked at Jake and I looked back at Daren who were still there arguing and going back and forth at each other. I had just had enough and I was over it!!!

"You both should be ashamed of yourselves. This isn't about either of you, it's about me and my life. I am trying to do the right thing here and end this mess that has made my life a living hell and yet here you two are somehow making this about yourself. I will do this on my own without the help of either of you. But, from now on I need you both to stay out of my business and let me do whatever it is that I need to do to finally put a stop to this."
