Hostage

Chapter 43 - Going our seperate ways

The sound of vibrating buzzed on the night stand beside Zoey's bed. The vibrations repeated at a steady pace from Jason's phone. He was recieving a phone call. Jason's head was underneath his pillow,trying to block out the annoying noice.

"Jason, your phone, answer it." Zoey said in annoyance.

Jason heaved a sigh and took his time to reach for it. He placed his hand ontop of the phone and squinted his eyes at the brightness.

"Shit." The brightness blinded Jason. He had one eye opened and the other closed so he could focus on the screen.

Jason's fingertip slid along the bar and placed the phone to his ear.

"Hello." He said in a raspy tone.

"Jason, I'm a free man!"

Jason's eye's shot open at the recognition of who he was speaking with. His lips curved into a slight smile. This was something he has been waiting for a long time. Finally something good happened instead of bad.

"Holy shit dad, that's great news. When did you get out?!" Jason's eyebrows raised when he spoke, the tip of his tongue slipped out of the opening of his lips and trailed along them, making them moist.

"I just got out today! I think it's time we finally get our father son bond on eh?"

Jason loved the sound of that. Even though his dad did what he did, he feels like getting close to him would be a good thing for him and for Abby.

"I would love to. I could fly out today and we can catch up." Jason responded. Zoey's eyes shot up with an "Excuse me" look on her face. She didn't know what the hell they were talking about, but she didn't like the sound of traveling anywhere.

"Jason... what are you talking about?" Zoey whispered.

Jason put raised his index finger and ignored her words as he concentrated on what his father was saying to him. This was obviously more important than Zoey's complaining.

"Yeah, Abby is doing just fine. I'll bring her with me of course. Alright dad, Love you too... bye." Jason pressed the end button on his phone after his conversation was over with. Zoey had her arms folded along her chest, her gaze was deep and unfriendly. Jason rattled the sheets and blanket off of him and hopped out of bed and stretched his limbs.

"Jason, what the hell are you doing?" Zoey asked following him. Jason just knew what was going to happen and predicted what she was going to say before even responding.

Zoey's hands were on her hips.

"My Dad got out of jail... " Zoey's mouth dropped open in awe of the gravity of the unsettling news.

"he wants me and Abs to come see him." Jason spoke as he slipped a shirt over his head.

"Jase, we can't keep traveling, money is getting tight and we can't keep traveling like we do. The last time we went out of town I got fucking kidnapped... AGAIN!" Zoey said in a jokingly way.

Jason rolled his eyes.

"Zoey, I have money, that is not an issue with me. I can do what I want with it and I have not seen my dad in so long and I am pretty sure Abby would want to see dad too and Zoey obviously you are coming with me aren't you?"

Zoey heaved a sigh and placed the palms of her hands over her face and rubbed soothingly.

"I understand that Jason, I really do... It's just--"

"It's just what? You don't want me to see my dad? Is that it?" Jason said interrupting Zoey's words with attitude.

"No, what the hell, I never said that Jason you didn't fucking let me finish. It's just I know you are going to want to stay up there if you go." Jason ran his fingers through his messy tossed hair.
