Hostage

Chapter 36 - Rehab

It has already been a few weeks since Jason has gotten back from his trip to visit his dad and unexpected new family. It was all new to him, which caused his mind to stay glued on that one topic. That was all he could think about, other than everything else in his life.

Meanwhile,

Jason was smiling at his phone, as Abby's bright smile was beaming from his phone screen. "I miss you Jason." Jason sat up in bed getting comfortable since he was sitting in a very unpleasant position, which caused his legs and feet to go numb. Jason could not stand the feeling.

"I miss you too princess." Abby's cheeks tinge red at his words. Abby was the type to smile about anything and everything. She was such a happy little soul. "Where's your mom?" Abby craned her neck, looking over her shoulder to see if her mother was anywhere near, but she wasn't. Abby knitted her eyebrows together and shrugged her shoulders, and let them fall.

"Are you home by yourself?" Abby was clueless, she didn't even realize her mother was gone since she was on the phone with Jason. "She was just here." Abby started roaming around her house, searching for her mother. "Mom?" Jason could still hear and see everything Abby was saying and doing. "Mommy?" Abby pushed onto the door, making it creak.

Jason's door swings open. "Babe, what are you doing?" Zoey asked, as she shut the door behind her. "Shh." Jason said as he was focusing on his phone screen. Zoey knitted her eyebrows together in waves, and sat down next to Jason on his bed. "Did you find her?"

"Yeah. but I think she is asleep." Abby placed her hand on Anna's shoulder and shook her as hard as she could to wake her. She didn't wake up. "Mommy, please wake up." Jason clenched his jaw as he heard Abby plead. "Mommy..." there were quivers in her voice. "Abby, listen to me, put your ear to her chest to see if she has a heart beat." Abby did as he said.

She placed her ear on Anna's chest and closed her eyes trying to focus. "There is, but she isn't breathing... I'm scared." Tears streamed down Abby's cheeks. Jason heaved a sigh, and ran his fingers through his hair. "Damn it..." Jason whispered to himself.

"Just hold on, okay, go lock the doors, and go hide somewhere safe. Keep the phone and call 911, listen to me carefully, tell them it's an emergency and you need an ambulance, they will take you and your mom to the hospital." Zoey knitted her eyebrows together in confusion. She had in mind what Jason was planning on doing.

"Jase, you can't possibly go back, you just left." Jason curled in his lips. "I can and I will... she is my sister Zoey... I can't just let her sit there alone, she is only six, and I am the only thing she has right now."

Zoey heaved a sigh and gnawed on her bottom lip. "Fine, but I'm going with you."

Jason and Zoey rushed out of the bedroom door, and grabbed the car keys from the kitchen table. Dani was sitting on the couch, as always, sipping on a beer. "Where are you guys going?" Dani asked as she sat on the couch with her legs crossed. "Don't have time to talk about it, explain later." Jason and Zoey close the door behind them, and get into the car. Jason placed the keys into the ignition and turned it, making the car come alive. Jason forced his foot onto the gas, and drove down the Alley way onto the road.

The facetime call with Abby was still going on. Since she was too scared, Jason and Zoey decided to talk to her until they had to get onto the plane. It would take longer to drive there, and they didn't have time to waste.
