Chapter 23 (Wait Hold It Right There)

'Mommy! You can get out of here! We can go home!' Jessie shrieked, handing her mother a bunch of roses. 'Woah little one! These are so pretty!'

'Uncle John asked me to give them to you!'

'Well do you like them?' John asked.

'I love them, thanks for taking Jessie.'

'Have you found Alison yet?'

'No... I can't believe that they had lost Alison... The police are looking for her now, she might as well be taken away from me for not looking after her.'

'The only thing you should be worrying about is getting better so that your little angel will stop worrying. She hasn't stopped saying how much she misses you on the way here.'

'Mommy can we go? I don't like it here... it's too white. This hospital should be pink with diamonds on it.' She said, nodding in confidence.

'I know Jessie, but mommy needs to help find Alison honey.'

'I don't want Alison back.' She said stubbornly.

'Why Jessie? You two were such good friends, you love her.'

'No mommy I don't like Alison! She is a monster! She hurt you mommy! No one hurts my mommy.'

'Jessie you know that she didn't mean it.'

'No she did! She hit you and said that you were going to hurt me!'

'Jessie she just don't understand...'

'Mommy I don't want her back!'

'Jessie please just think about this for me okay?'

'Okay mommy... Can we go now? We can go swimming!'

'Of course Jessie, just let mommy pack...'

John drove Katy and Jessie home after taking the two girls for lunch in a local restaurant. Katy thanked John once again for helping her care for Jessie when she couldn't before John left in a hurry to go to the studio.

'I like Uncle John mommy...' Jessie commented as she cuddled with her mother.

'Well I am so glad that you like him.'

'Mommy do you love him?'

'Yes I do baby.'

'Why?'

'Because he is a good man honey, and because he loves me and he takes care of the both of us because he cares.'

'Will I love someone when I'm older mommy? Will I love a boy?'

'Maybe Jessie but that day will not be anytime soon. You cannot kiss any boys until you are thirty honey because you are my baby.'

'Okay mommy... but I still get to look at them okay? Boys like Jason are cute and I like looking at him.' Jessie smiled cheekily as she thought about her crush.

Oh Jessie...' She said, pulling her daughter into a tight hug.

---------------------------------------

Alison tried to scream when the masked man laid her hands on her, but she was immediately suffocated by the man's strong hand. The last thing that she remembers is that she was thrown into the boot of a truck and it drove off, causing her to hit her head against the dark eerie walls around her.

'Hello? Please help me!' Alison yelled.

No answer... of course. Why would she think that anyone can hear her when she is locked up? This was probably what it was like to be locked up in the hole back at home. Who will do something like this to her? Daddy should be very well locked up and will never hurt her again, but what is this?

Alison had no idea how long she was in the boot for because she passed out soon after the truck sped off due to the lack of air in the packed surrounding. When she woke up, Alison was terrified to find out that she was tied to a chair with something covering her mouth. She heard footsteps coming towards her, fearing what fate awaits.

'So Jessica... we are so glad to have you here with us... I can't even thank you enough for running around by yourself...'

Alison tried to struggle and speak when the masked man came close to her and yanked the duct tape off her mouth. Alison winced in pain before another wave of pain attacked her right cheek.

'Well don't abuse her already! Do you have any idea how much she's worth?' Came another voice.

'Boss, we've got her.' The first masked man said as he moved aside.

'You idiot this isn't Jessica! You fool!'

'We saw this girl with Katy Perry...'

'This is not Jessica! How many times do you need me to repeat this? Just get rid of her!'

The man stared at his boss, hesitating about the command that was given to him.

'What are you waiting for? I don't need any cowards in my team! Do it or I'll shoot you then her!' The man in charge yelled.

'Sir but I swear...'

'SWEAR WHAT NOW? Get on with it or the one dying is going to be you!'

The man raised his gun to Alison's head, his finger on the trigger, ready to pull it and take the life of a innocent little girl. Alison shut her eyes as tight as she possibly could, nervously anticipating the bullet that will probably be going through her head any second now before he heard the man in charge yell and stopped the killing.

'Wait, looks like this girl wants to say something, remove the tape on her mouth, let the child talk.' He ordered harshly. Alison winced in pain as the man ripped the piece of duct tape off her mouth. 'Speak child. Any last words?'

'I know Katy Perry... she takes care of me... I live with her...' Alison whispered, her voice croaked and harsh.

'Now keep talking child, you might just as well be able to save yourself...'
