Irresistible

Chapter thirteen

Tori's POV

After the doctors told me I could go home, I found Patrick in the waiting room.

"Tori," he said when he saw me. "Baby, come here."

He pulled me away from Joe and Andy and Elisa. "Are they all okay? Where's Pete?" I asked.

"They're going to be fine and so is Pete. I need to talk to you." He said.

"What's wrong now?" I asked. I was getting tired of this.

"We were wrong to trust Will." He said.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"I talked to Pete. He said that it was Will who put him and Joe in the basement. And that Sally had Megan and Ashlee. And now he's gone, and so is Sally." He said.

"But you and Andy restrained her." I said.

"We did." He said.

"Then how-oh no." I said. Will. He'd left. And released our mother.

"Tori, were going to Sally's beach house to get Megan and Ashlee." Patrick said.

"Okay. When?" I asked.

"Now." He said.

"Okay, I'm ready." I said.

"No, babe. I want you to stay." He said.

"No, no I can't." I said.

"Tori, I need you to stay with Pete. He's in a dark place right now and he trusts you. Besides, it's safer for you here."

"But Patrick-"

"Char, please. Stay."

I sighed. I knew he was right, especially about Pete. But...i looked over his shoulder at Elisa.

"Is she going?" I asked.

"Yes." He said.

I glared at him.

"Tori, she's not eight months pregnant. And she can help. And pete hates her." Patrick said.

I sighed. "Fine." I said. "Just be careful."

"I will. I'll come back to you. I promise." He said.

"I'm gonna hold you to that." I said. He smiled.

"I know." He said.

He kissed me and walked away, leaving me there.

Patrick's POV

A long drive took us to the beach house that Pete told me about. Hopefully we'd beaten Sally and Will there. Or, if we hadn't, that they hadn't left yet.

We got lucky when we pulled up. They were here. We had to get them out.

"How do we do this?" Joe asked.

"I'm not sure. But I think they're inside." andy said.

"Well go around back. See if we can see them." I said.

So Andy drove the jeep around the house and we carefully got out and walked to the back.

A peek in the window showed neither Sally or Will anywhere near the door. Joe tried to handle and it was unlocked. They weren't being very careful.

We stepped inside and listened, holding our breaths.

Then we heard Will. "They're out." He said.

"Good. Get them into the truck." Sally said.

Andy pointed the a set of stairs in the next room. They were above us.

We all listened again.

"I need to go and make a phone call before we go." Sally said. "Get them ready to move, but don't do it yet."

We hid behind the wall and prayed she would go out the front door. She did.

When she was gone I spoke. "We have to take Will. It's three on one. We can do this." I said in a whisper.

"I agree. Let's go." Andy said.

We all went up the steps and found Will blindfolding Megan and Ashlee, who were both unconscious.

"Will, how could you betray your sister?" Joe asked.

He whirled. "How did you find me?" He asked.

"Pete." I said.

"Turns out you didn't hit him hard enough." Andy snapped.

"You're too late." Will said.

"Are we?" Joe asked. "Because it looks like your only backup turned on you, buddy."

"I was going to cross her. Take the girls to the hospital." Will said.

"Don't think we're going to buy into that again, Will. It's over." I said.

"Not quite." Someone said behind me.

I turned. Sally was standing behind me. She held a pistol in her hand.

I expected it to be like those crime shows, where there's a forever long standoff and then the cops show up and the bad guy is arrested. But this didn't go that way. There was a flash, a bang, and blackness.

I'm soooo sorry I went MIA on you guys. I'm back now with great news.

I'm engaged!

YAYYY!

I'll try not to abandon you again!

Love you all!
