Chapter 26 (Take the Risk)

'Meet me at 27th street Katy at 3:00pm exactly with a million bucks in cash if you want your Alison back alive.'

'Please don't hurt her whoever you are... she's been through a lot...' Katy begged, hoping that Alison will turn out okay.

'Well then hand us the money then... and don't be late. Don't think that we won't hurt her... we have done much more terrible things before.' The man on the other side of the line said before the line went dead.

'Hello? Hey!' Katy hollered. 'Hey!'

'How was it Katy?'

'Three pm... they want me alone at the 27th street.'

'Well are you going to go?'

'Yes I am... I have to. I owe it to her and I need to do this.'

'Is it going to be safe for you? I'd hate for you to get hurt Katy bird...'

'I know mom, but I have to do this. I'm sure that if I were the one that had been kidnapped you will do the same for me.'

'Of course I would... Look Katy I know where you are coming from... I just don't want you to get hurt... ever...'

'I know mom, and I'll be careful. I promise. If anything were to happen to me, will you take care of Jessie for me please?'

'Oh Katy don't say that, the both of you are going to be just fine.'

Katy got up and hugged her mom before she went into her bathroom for a shower. The atmosphere around her had been so serious and deep. Katy felt as if she couldn't breath as there was just so much on her mind. This was just the kind of things that you really will over think on... well at least that was what she thought. All Katy could think of was the fault around the incident. 

After a long cry in the shower, Katy got dressed and started making phone calls to different banks, hoping to get 1 million dollars in cash. Unfortunately, most of Katy's assets are tied up as she had just bought a house and she also spent lots of money on her tour. 'Damn it!' She cursed as the third bank denied her the money in such short notice. Each bank would only offer her $250,000 which means she still needed another two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 

'Mommy what are you doing?'

'Alison is in some trouble right now honey.. mommy just needs to go and sort her out.'

'But I don't want Alison back mommy...' Jessie moaned. 'She's a monster who hurt you and I don't like her...'

'Jessie honey you really liked her before... don't hate her just because she hurt me... She didn't mean to actually hurt me I'm sure...'

'She called you a monster, so I really don't like her...' Jessie said. 

'Jessie please give her another chance? For me?'

'Okay mommy... but only for you...' Jessie said before going downstairs to read. 

'So what's happening now? What's up with Jessie anyways? She seems to be a bit off.' Mary whispered, afraid that Jessie could hear her.

'Nah she's fine... she's just being protective of me that's all. She hates Alison for hurting me.'

'She is so cute... so what's the plan now? Are you going to call for back up or not?'

'I think that I'll go alone, I mean it is not like it's in the middle of nowhere. Let's just pray that all they want is money and nothing else... but I cannot get enough cash in such short notice.'

'Yikes... is there a friend that you can maybe borrow money from?'

'Yes... but it's a bit awkward to ask.'

'What about John?'

'John is in London right now, I cannot ask him for money.'

'Are you two alright?'

'What do you mean?'

'I mean are you two still dating or not?'

'Mom this is really not the best time to worry about my relationships, I'll call a friend.'

'Who will have that much money lying around?'

'I know someone...' Katy said before she pushed her mom out of her room and shut the door.

Katy paced around her room as she scrolled through her contacts. She knew exactly who she wanted to call, but she was anxious to call him because she likes him a little bit more than she should since she is technically still with John but she just couldn't resist him.

Here goes nothing... Katy pressed the call button and waited, hoping that he would pick up. She chewed on her fingers as she walked around in circles. 'Hello?'

'Oh thank god!' Katy shrieked.

'Hi Katy, is everything alright? You sound a bit... tense if you don't mind me saying.' He said in his charming british accent. 

'Yeah...'

'What happened? Is everything alright?'

'Not really... I think I need your help if that's okay.'

'Of course Katy! I'll do anything I can. Are you okay?'

Katy sighed before telling him everything. He listened patiently as Katy broke down and told him the whole story. 'Oh my... I am so sorry about this Katy... of course I'll do what I can do, but you cannot possibly go by yourself... I mean you cannot risk it. I'll come with you.'

'Orlando... thank you so much for helping... but I don't want you to risk it... I mean you have your son.'

'Well you have your daughter. If you want the cash from me, then you will have to let me come with you.'

'Okay... thank you so much Orlando... I don't know what I'll do without you...'

'Um... yeah of course... I'll be over in 30 minutes with the money, and don't you worry... it'll be okay.'
