Chapter Twenty Nine; Northsiders Return

I woke up to the sound of Jason talking on the phone. I groggily opened my eyes and saw him on the balcony, shirtless looking agitated. "Alright see you then." He groaned, ending the call. I propped myself on one elbow as Jason walked back inside.

"I'm sorry baby, did I wake you?" He asked sitting next to me. I laughed. "No, you didn't." I lied, not wanting it to bother him. "So...who was that on the phone?" I shyly ask. "Oh it was Bruce. Something's come up." He said nervously. "You're not leaving are you? We still have a week or so left." I said placing a hand onto his arm.

He chuckled. "No I'm not leaving. Zak is coming here." "Oh, why?" He shook his head. "Nothing you need to worry about." He smiled a fake smile. "Babe you said that the last time. What is up?" I sternly asked. He sighed. "The Northsiders are down here." He whispered. I widened my eyes. "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"I mean exactly what I'm saying! They're around the area!" I shushed him. "Keep your voice down." "Sorry." He apologized. "I'm just nervous." "Nervous for what?" "Don't worry about it. Really." I reassured me. I just nodded. I got out of bed and changed into a tight casual dress. (http://www.blog-city.info/en/img1/18844_296214_284503544898273_114415241907105_1371921_7833870_n.jpg)

Jason looked at me and smirked. "Sexy dress baby." I rolled my eyes. "Grow up." I looked at the time. Twelve noon. I grabbed my purse and car keys. "Where are you going?" He asked standing up. "Don't worry. I'm going to the store. I'll be back in 15 minutes." I said, kissing his cheek. "Be careful, please." He begged.

I nodded and I waved bye and locked the door, so no one would walk in. I walked outside and into the car, revving the engine up. I reversed out of the driveway heading to the store going to buy some things for the family.

-Twenty Minutes Later-

After looking around everywhere for the things I was supposed to buy, I packed everything in the car. I reached for the handle of the door but before I could open it, I felt a cloth go over my mouth and big arms grab ahold of me.

I could notice there was a drug on the cloth making me drowsy really fast. I struggled trying to pry it off my mouth but whoever was doing this to me was too strong. My eyes drooped, all motion slowing down, sounds around me echoing, fading slowly and my whole body losing movement, as I felt my arms slowly drop away from the mans arm. All I could hear before loosing consciousness was 'We can't let McCann get her alive this time.'

*Jason's POV*

It's been almost an hour. She said at least 15 minutes. I started to pace the floor. I pulled my phone out and dialed her number. Voicemail. I furrowed my eyebrows together and licked my lips nervously. I called again. Then a third time, fourth time. All voicemail.

"This isn't good." I shakily breathed out and got off the balcony jogging to my car parked down the street. I jumped in and immediately tracked her number. It took a minute or two for it to load and it said she was on the highway heading back to Vegas. 'She's not going back to Vegas.' I thought to myself. I turned on the car stepping on the gas pedal, burning rubber driving down the main road to the highway.

I quickly dial Zak. "Hello?" "I need your guys help. Now." I sternly said. "What happened?" "I'm pretty sure Northsiders have Scar." I swallowed hard. "Just track my number and follow me onto the highway." I quickly said, hanging up following where Scarlett was going.

*Scarlett's POV*

My eyes slowly open to see my hands tied and feet tied with a rope and tape onto my lips. I was seated in the backseat of a car. My vision was still a bit blurry. I tried focusing on the two people in the front seats. My eyes widened. I saw Luke and one of his assistants, Mike. The one who touched me the first time. Tears floated into the rims of my eyes as fear took over my entire body.

I took a deep breath. Jason would always tell me to fight and not cower so that's exactly what I'm going to do. I pretended to still be unconscious, my eyes closed listening to their conversation. "What are we going to do if Jason and his crew show up?" Mike asks. "Well, he's not going the easy way that's for sure. He's dead this time." He snarled. I gasped quietly.

I slowly looked in the back window and saw Jason's car speeding behind Luke's. I tried looking at his face through teary vision. I could tell he saw me because his face instantly changed. "Son of a bitch. The asshole's girl is awake and he's behind us." Luke swore under his breath. He stomped on the gas pedal gaining more speed. Which only caused Jason to go faster also. Mike pulled out a gun and reached out the window, sitting on the door aiming it towards Jason.

He shot two bullets missing. He groaned and reloaded. Jason bumped the bumper of Luke's car trying to carefully run him off the road. He eased on the gas a bit still chasing the car. Mike shot again and again. On the third shot, it went through Jason's windshield.

Jason's car lost speed and control causing him to crash into the side of the highway. I screamed frantically knowing that the worse just happened. Mike crawled back into the car laughing. I looked behind seeing Zak and the crew also chasing behind us. I looked to my side and saw a pistol sitting next to me. I pulled my wrist out of the rope it cutting from rope burn putting it to Mike's head.

I turn to Luke pulling the tape off my lips. "Pull the goddamn car over." I growled through tears. "You wouldn't do shit." Luke chuckled. I looked at Mike and hit the gun as hard as I could against his head, knocking him out cold. "Try me, babe." I taunted.

Luke gulped slowly. I heard gunshots and the car jerking. I looked behind me and saw Ben getting back into the car. He shot the tires flat. I knocked out Luke with the gun as well when he wasn't looking at me. I jumped out of the car, blood dripping down my arms from the rope cutting me. I ran towards Zak and into his arms.

I cried into them scared out of my mind. I pulled away running towards Jason's car that wasn't too far back. I looked and saw blood on his face and a bullet wound in his chest. I managed to pull him out of the car hearing him quietly groan. I heard a ambulance in the distance.

"Don't leave me please..please. You're a fighter. You..you'll make it." I violently sobbed, brushing the bloody hair away from his face. An ambulance pulled up with a gurney, going towards Jason. Zak pulled me away and pulled me into a hug again.

I bawled in his chest. Harder then I ever have before. "Come on." He quickly said, going to the car as we all drove after the ambulance, with Ben and Andrew comforting me in the backseat.
