Ashton
It's around eleven in the morning and Jay is still asleep.

So I brought her some waffles for breakfast. I'll leave them on the side table for when she wakes up.

Jaylee : Mm...

Jaylee
A little noise woke me up.
I yawned and stretched out my arms.

Ashton : Good morning cutie.
Jaylee : Hi...
Ashton : I brought you some waffles and coffee. You should eat. Your baby must be hungry.

Jaylee
Awww I love hearing that!
I can't believe I'm actually carrying a baby!

Jaylee : Thank you Ash.
Ashton : Have you talked to Naomi?
Jaylee : Not since she left. Why?
Ashton : She won't pick up my calls.
Jaylee : Because she's on her honeymoon Ash.
Ashton : She always answers her phone. No matter what she's doing.
Jaylee : Again, she's on her honeymoon. I wouldn't worry too much.

-phone ring-

Ashton : Is it Naomi?
Jaylee : No......it's my dad.
Ashton : Oh!

-phone call-

Jaylee : Hello?
Mr Carson : Jaylee.
Jaylee : Steven.
Mr Carson : I know what you're doing.
Jaylee : What are you talking about?
Mr Carson : Do you want to know why I have Naomi Monroe in my power?
Jaylee : ....

Jaylee
I turned to look at Ashton in fear.
He looked back at me with concern.

Jaylee : How fucking dare you...
Mr Carson : Tell your governor to leave me the fuck alone. If not, it'll cost him his daughter.
Jaylee : ....How do we get her back?
Mr Carson : First tell your governor to drop the investigation against me and then I'll give him his daughter. -ends call-
Jaylee : Wait-
Ashton : Is everything okay?
Jaylee : .....

Jaylee
How do I tell him my father kidnapped his sister?

Jaylee : My father........he has your sister.
Ashton : ...
Jaylee : He'll let her go only if your father drops the investigation against him,

Jaylee
He didn't say anything. He simply pulled out his phone and started calling.

Mr Monroe : Ashton.
Ashton : Carson has Naomi.
Mr Monroe : What are you saying?!
Ashton : He called Jaylee. He wants you to drop the investigation against him. He'll let her go once you do your part.
Mr Monroe : Tell Jaylee to figure out the location. Let's pretend we'll drop the investigation.
Ashton : Alright. -ends call- He said to find out his location and play along.
Jaylee : Okay...
Ashton : On speaker.
