FALLING FOR MR J

Chapter 20

CHAPTER TWENTY

The only downside to listening to his messages, we have to listen to all his business ones. Christ, he needs to clear out his mailbox. Once I had deleted most of them my messages finally came up.

Message one...
"Hey, it's me. I um... I'm calling, just to... Well, I got your message along with the others. I-I'm not sure what to say? I'd much rather like to speak with you in person. You know, rather than to me. Call me when you get this."

Message two...
"Hey, it's me again. Please call me. I'm getting seriously worried now. I didn't like your last message and now I'm kinda freaking out. Beezman this isn't fair. I shouldn't worry about you. Damn it! You walked out on me. I told you who I am, and you walked. Yes, I walked first, but I had my reasons and you know why. Fucker, I've told you everything. That's including being in love with you. Now I'm not even sure about that anymore. My head's kinda all over the place with it, and I don't know if I'm coming or going. Things are happening right now, and I know I've fucked-up. So my leaving is probably a good, thing. I need to leave to find out who I am and where I belong. I guess hearing your message spooked me. I just need to know you're okay and then I'll leave you alone for good. You walked out on me after I opened up to you and placed everyone in danger too. But your 'walking' told me you're not ready either. Maybe one day we'll see each other again? Until then, I..."
BANG! We hear Chester enter the room.
"We need to leave. Our position's been compromised. Get dressed and pack your shit up. We leave in ten."
That's the moment where he's pulling out his bag.
"What do you mean? Ches, nobody knows we're here. How could we have been compromised? I don't understand what's happening? Where have you been? I've not seen or heard from you since yesterday morning. All I've received from you was that text telling me you know me!"

"JUST MOVE IT! Kat, we don't have time for this shit. Please, just pack your bag up. I'll explain on the way."

"What... on the way, where...? Where the fuck we going, Chester..."

"FUCK SAKE! We don't have time, okay. KAT! Now, hurry!"

"Ches, you've kept me hidden for months now. With no information about what's going on either. Hell, I'm still unsure of how much danger I'm in. He wasn't a nasty person, not like Ste did anyway. So I don't think he'd hurt me. I..."

"Fuck sake! Why can't you just do as you're told for once? Just pack up and move it NOW!"

The call finally cuts out, and as I turn to look at Trev and Mrs Franks. I see their eyes go slightly wide. I have to prompt Trev to say something. He shakes his head and with a slight grin on his lips, he tells me to save everything.

"In fact, double save it. We have to hide a few copies just to be safe. If he has other coppers looking out for him, we'll need to be smart about this... if they get their hands on this? I've no doubt it'll 'mysteriously' disappear."
I know he's talking sense, but I still asked if they need the text message.

"I-I mean, it's about me and my life, Trev. I don't wish for the entire world to know what I do. I..."
He's shaking his head and with a sigh, he tells me, I have to give them it.
"Kat, it shows how much he wanted you. How desperate he was to, make you his. So if that meant getting Mr B and your ex out the way, then this is a motive. We have all the timestamps along with the dates. We have the bomb which will blow these dodgy coppers out the fucking window and into jail where they belong."

I take a deep breath, knowing I have to give them that message, frankly scared the hell out of me. Though I know I have to I need to help Johnathan... even if he doesn't want me anywhere near him I still need to help him.
