Save Him

Part 10

The flight was only 6 hours but seemed to be much longer. The anxiety was real. Jase could stop the thoughts of his wife and his son being hurt. Dave his friend went with them. He threw in his badge so that he could do things his way.

Dave saw the blank expression on Jase's face. "Hey man, we will get your family back."

"I know, but Katie..." He paused trying to blink back his tears. "She is not in great health with her pregnancy. What if something happens?"

"Let's not think that way. She is tough. She will be just fine."

Jackson chimed in. "Dave is right. She is strong enough to handle this. It is her love for you and Michael that makes her able to fight."

Back in England, Jessica had made sure that Katie was chained to the bed in the soundproof basement. Michael didn't know. He was busy playing video games with Dylan.

Jessica walked into the basement to have a chat with Katie.

Katie was lying in the bed looking up at the ceiling. She felt really weak and scared. She was looking for a way to get free, but this time it seemed it would be a lot harder and, in her condition, she knew that she had to be more cautious.

Jessica walked in. Katie turned her head to look at her. "Why are you doing this?" Katie cried.

Jessica smiled heartlessly at her. "Because I can."

"But even if you never loved me, you could have given me up. You didn't have to keep me and struggle."

"But honey, this way is more fun." Jessica wiped the tears from her eyes. " Don't cry. I will not hurt you while you are pregnant."

"Then why am I here? What have you done to Michael?"

"Michael is fine. He is upstairs, playing games with his real father."

"Just let us go home... You have the chance to start over. You never have to see me again."

Jessica grabbed Katie by the face. "That's not good enough. The only way I will be happy is when you are dead."

Jessica stood up beside the bed with a smirk on her face.

"You can't do this! I am having a baby."

"Relax, I won't do anything until my grandchild is born."

"But I am high risk? This could cause me to go into labor early."

Jessica laughed at her. "Good... The sooner you have this baby, the sooner you die."

"No!" Katie began to cry as her mother walked out and locked the door behind her.

Dylan and Michael were upstairs playing videos games.

"When will mommy and daddy be here?" Michael asked as he began to miss his parents.

Dylan felt uneasy about it. He didn't know what to say. He could see that Michael was feeling lost.

"Where's my mommy?" He asked once more.

Dylan finally answered the best way he could. "She is on her way. England is a long way away, but she will be here tomorrow when you wake up."

"Ok." The answer was good enough for him.

Michael began yawning.

"Are you tired, little man?" Dylan patted Michael on the head.

He just nodded and rubbed his eyes.

"How about we get you in bed?" Dylan turned the blankets down.

He helped Michael get in his bed and tucked him in.
