Jack And Katherine One-Shots

What Lurks In The Dark (Part 2)

"Oh Jack isn't trying to scare you... but we are."

The hair on the back of Katherine's neck stood up and the sheer thrill of terror that ran through her bones was almost enough to cause to to let go and fall to the floor.

"Awe look at her Morris, she's scared."

Delancey's.

Her fear quickly turned to annoyance and anger at the two immature boys, Katherine struggled to use what little strength left to pull herself up but Oscar saw her and quickly put a stop to it.

"Oh no you don't." He said striding over and grasping one of her ankles.

"Let me go!" She snapped trying to kick his hand away.

"Ooooo hey Morris come check this out, I can see why Kelly was so reluctant to step away." He said his voice full of torment and smugness. Katherine's face heated up and she willed herself to be strong enough to get away.

"Not so fast." He said and yanked painfully down in her ankle cause if her to loose the momentum she had. Her hands slipped and she fell down on top of Oscar. He tried half hardily to catch her but she ended up in an awkward pile on top of him. She quickly rolled off and jumped to her feet feeling an awful pain in her leg, her hands were scraped badly and her face was covered in sweat.

"Where's Jack?"

"Awe come on doll, we was just getting started." he said reluctantly getting to his feet. Katherine rolled her eyes and shouldered past him looking timidly in the corner for Jack. Deep down she was scared to death because she knew Jack would of already been there to help her if he knew what had just happened, something wasn't right.

"Jack?" She called stepping into the shadow but before she could go any farther Oscar caught her arm.

"Hang on a sec sweet face, arnt ya gonna tell me what you and Kelly were doing in the Press room at two thirty in the morning?" He asked.

"No!" She said tanking her arm away. "Leave me alone."

"Nope, me and my brother are in charge of this little place here. So if you don't want me calling the Bulls on ya little boyfriend why don't you tell me what you were doing here?" He said pulling her back into the light. Katherine yanked her arm out of his grasp and turned her face back to the corner where Jack was last. Very faintly she could hear sounds coming from outside, almost like there was a fight going on. She prayed Jack could hold his own why she got rid of Delancey #2.

"What were you doing in here? We saw you look through almost every box in this room? Are you looking for something valuable?" He asked coming closer to her. "Are you thinking ya Daddy leaves stashes of cash around for you to find?"

"No." Katherine said sharply and glanced back to the sounds.

"Are you trying to steel something? When me and Morris got here the lock had obviously been picked. If that dosent scream break in then I don't know what does." He said leaning against a metal frame.

Katherine didn't answer but whipped away from him determined not to panic and not to let Oscar get to her. There was definitely a fight going on outside and she could tell someone was losing by the sounds of flesh against flesh.

"Nope not yet." Oscar said stepping in front of her path. "Morris ain't gonna kill him, just beat some sense into him like we always have."

"Jack dosent need any sence! Your the one who needs some help!" Katherine said threateningly.

"Want to help me?" He asked suggestively.

Katherine scoffed and turned away from him folding her arms her worry increasing for Jack. She knew he could hold his own, but she wasn't sure for how long.
