Skye's P.O.V


Moving an unconscious Jake around is hard. I finally got Jake laying down normal in the bed, so when he wakes up he won't notice I'm gone right away. I walked out the room and started putting my plan into action. I placed the letter on the coffee table hoping no one sees it before Jake does. I grabbed the box I got with the night-night syrup. I walked to the door and stopped. I turned around and looked around the room one last time. I quickly dried the tears that are trying to escape. I whispered out, "Goodbye Jake" I slowly shut the door not wanting to wake anyone up. I checked my phone and it was going on midnight. I cursed under my breath as I made it to the elevator. As the elevator dinged out the doors opened and the only person standing in the lobby was him. I walked slowly towards him as he just looked me up and down. "Well hello glad you saw the light in your judgment" Christian said with a smile of pride smeared on his face. I rolled my eyes, "Whatever I'm not doing it for you or him" He just started to chuckle, "Oh that's right you are doing it for that bastard child" Without thinking my hand connected with his face and judging by the look on his face, he was just as surprised as I was. His face snapped back to me, "You little bitch, I should kill you right here and now instead of waiting" I flinched and threw up my arms in a defensive way. I didn't feel anything. So I peeked and saw two very big people in all black suits wearing black sunglasses even though it is midnight. "You were told not to hurt the package" the one gripping Christian's hand from connecting with my face. Christian mumbled something and yanked his arm free and headed out the door. The two guards nudged me to get going and they followed behind me. When we got out side there was a limo waiting. If I was not in a near death situation and with Jake, then this would me romantic. But instead I'm being dragged to meet the person who wants me died. As we all get seated in the limo I speak up, "So is he keeping his end of the bargain?" Christian smiled. "Yeah we are heading their now just so you know we didn't hurt him" I let out a sigh of relief. At least my plan is going as planned. I looked out the window and saw LA blur on by as we made our way to the Airport.


We pull up in front of the airport. I'm placed in the middle as the two guards are walking behind me and as Christian is walking in front of me. I was told to wait with the guards as Christian got the one way tickets. I could feel their eyes burrowing through me just waiting for me to try and make a run for it. After what felt like hours, Christian walked over and handed us our tickets and pushed me to begin walking again. We make our way through security and now are in line waiting to board the plane. We come up to the happy perky flight attendant, "Tickets please" The two guards go in first then me and Christian. I felt hot breath on my neck, "Don't even try for help or the kid gets it" Christian says as the guards make their way towards the plane. I shivered with the thoughts of Nolan getting hurt cause of me. So I just handed my ticket and faked smiled. The guards were waiting for me as we turned the corner to board the plane. We enter the plane and found our seats, "I'm getting the window seat since I'm being kidnapped" I whisper to Christian. He nods his head and we take our seats. I look out the window and sigh, "This is going to be the longest plane ride of my life and possibly the last"


We have been up in the air for couple of hours and Christian has already told me twice to try and rest so I can be at fully energy to meet my doom. I just brushed him off and kept my eyes focusing on the world blurring right by us. I can feel my head bobbing up and down as I try and fight sleep. I feel someone tap my shoulder. I don't bother on turning since I know it's just Christian. I again feel his hot breath on my neck, "We are about to land" I don't make a sound or anything. As the plane lands we are instructed to apply our seat belts by the flight attendants. The plane comes to a full stop and people start to make their way off. The two guards lean in and whisper something to Christian and he turns to me, "We are to be the last people off the plane" I just roll my eyes, "I need to pee" Christian huffed and puffed. He waved me through and one guard followed me to the bathroom. As I entered the tiny room I hurried and checked if I still had the box on me. I let go of a breath that I didn't know I was holding when I felt the box still in the inside pocket of my jacket. I splash water on my face and hear a knock on the door, "Let's go, he hates being kept waiting" I turn off the water and dry up. We make our way off the plane and back into a car this time a Ford Escape. After a couple of minutes we pull up to a nice looking neighborhood. We pull up to a two story house. Christian gets out and grabs my arm and pulls me out of the car. "Here we are and see he is okay" I roll my eyes again, "Well can I at least tell him goodbye too?" Christian went to say something but the one of the guards raised his hand and he shut up. The other guard motioned me towards the house.


Approached the door and hesitated to knock. I took a deep breath and just went for it. I knocked and counted to 10. I got to 4, when a nice looking lady opened the door. "Well hello it's quite early for visitors" I just smiled. I totally forgot it's really early in the morning here. Just as I was about to speak up, I heard little feet racing up towards the door. The lady at the door looked behind here and smiled, "Nolan do you need anything?" he smiled and shook his head no. Then meet my eyes, "Skye!!!" he raced past the lady and tackled me in a hug. "Nolan how do you know this lady?" I spoke finally, "I'm a friend of Jake's" I bent down too meet Nolan eye to eye, "Hey buddy I got an important task for you to do, do you think you can do it?" he nodded his head yes. I reached into my coat and pulled out the box and opened it. Inside the box was a key placed on a necklace. I smiled at it and placed it over Nolan's head, "Now give that to daddy tomorrow when he comes to see you okay?" "Yes" he said while looking at it in awe. I gave Nolan one last hug and said my goodbyes to Jake's mom and headed off the porch. "Are we done now" Christian said a little irritated. I nodded yes. We piled back into the car and headed to meet my doom. We pulled up in front of a banded building. "This is where I'm meeting him" there was no answer I was just pushed out of the car. I landed with a thud. I mumbled ouch and some few choice words. "At last you have arrived" I heard a voice coming from the building. I stopped because I heard this voice from somewhere. Now I heard footsteps getting closer. "Have you finally realized who I am?" My mind was racing at the speed of light now how could I not see this coming. Before I could react to the news that was just dumped on me, a black sack went over my head.

I can't see a thing but I know I'm sitting in a chair and I can't move. In a flash the sack was removed from my head and I was sitting in front of him. "So is this how you treat all your step-daughters?" he just laughed, "Took you long enough to figure it out" I tried to move but I noticed I'm tied to the chair. "Well I hope you know why you are here because I really don't want to explain it all because you will be killed anyway so it's a waste to explain" he said rubbing his face. "Wh-why did you kill that poor girl y-you sick bastard" I screamed out. He just looked at me with no emotion. After a couple of minutes he let out a deep sigh, "It was all just business" he cleared his throat, "Now I'm only going to ask this once, where is the flash drive" I didn't say a thing. He got up and moved towards me, "Acting a little too tough now are we?" he grabbed my face. "I can fix that my back up plan should be falling into motion right about now" and before I could answer back with a question I felt a sting a crossed my face and with no sleep darkness took over quickly.


Jake's P.O.V


I jolt right up. I noticed that I'm in bed. I try and think back to what happened last night but all I got was my head hurting. I looked around and noticed Skye not around. Maybe she is out watching TV. I draped my legs over the bed and tried to stand up but got really light headed. After the room stopped spinning, I tried again. This time I made it on my feet. I made a mental note too never drink again as long as I live. I shuffled my way out of the room and into the living space and found it as empty as my room. I looked around and spotted something on the coffee table. I made my way towards it and picked up an envelope. It read, "For Jakes Eyes Only" My head started to hurt and it feels like I have seen this before but before I could think about it anymore there was a knock on my door. I made my way over to the door and opened it to a brown hair boy in just a white beater and basketball shorts. He was out of breath. "Um I didn't order room service" he picked up his head, "I'm not room service, I'm Cameron...Cameron Dallas"
