Previously-Jake tells Leyla about what happened, and she goes back to his house with them.
They get home, and the man pulls Jake, who is still tied up, through the front door with Sandrine and Leyla following.
"JAKE!" Ellen yells as she runs up to her son. She hugs him, and starts crying a bit.
She pulls away, and glares at Leyla's father and Sandrine. Duncan walks over "Where have you been, what's goung on here, and why is he tied up?"
"We had to step out for a little bit so we-" Kramer is cut off by Duncan
"You took him as your hostage" Duncan says. He pulls out a knife, and cuts the tie off Jake's hands.
"Yes we did" Sandrine says
Duncan looks over to see Leyla standing there. "What's she doing here?" he asks
"Hi, uncle Duncan" Leyla says
"Uncle?" Jake asks
"Yeah, he married my dad's sister. So yeah, he's my uncle" she says smiling. her smile fades as she realizes something. She looks at her uncle "You're in on it too" she says
"Alright who told her!?" Duncan yells. He grabs Jake by the collar "Was is you?" Once again Jake is completely terrified.
"Let him go!" Ellen yells as she tries to run to him, but Brian holds her back.
"Archer!" Duncan yells, and Archer grabs Ellen and Brian "Take 'em away" he says, and the man pulls them out of the room.
"I'm gonna ask you one more time. Was is you?" Duncan puts his face right in front of Jake, and the boy tries not to cry.
Of course he told her, and Leyla knows that Duncan knows, but she said that since her father was one of them that it would be okay, and that no one would get hurt. She just hopes that she can keep that promise.
Leyla's father grabs her, and cover her mouth "STOP!" Leyla yells pulling out of her father's grip "Yes he told me, but I told him to. Please don't hurt him"
Duncan looks at him, and throws him to the ground. Leyla runs over to him "Are you okay?" she asks
"Yeah" he says. They both stand up, and are face to face with Duncan and Kramer.
"How did those two meet?" Duncan asks Kramer without taking his eyes off of the teens
"I took him to my dad's house, and she got home early, so she found him-"
"Tied up in the living room" Leyla says
"Shut up!" Kramer yells, and a tear slips from her eye
"If either one of you tells anyone else I promise you that you will die" Duncan says "Kramer"
"Yeah?"
"Take her home to get her things. She's gonna be staying here-"
"Wait. What?" Leyla asks taking a few steps towards her uncle
"You are not leaving this house until the president's dead" Duncan says
"So your gonna hold your niece hostage?" she asks
"Yes. If that's what it takes" he says. Leyla backs away from him, and walks over to Jake again
"Let's go" Kramer says grabbing his daughter, and Duncan grabs Jake
"Wait!" Leyla says, and they let go of the teens. She walks over to Duncan and Jake. She hugs Jake, and whispers in his ear "Be careful"
"I will" he says squeezing her gently. They let go, and go their separate ways.
Sorry it's kinda short, but the next chapter is longer.
