C H A P T E R XI:

O N E W E E K P A S S E D:

Simon POV:

"Danny, could we talk for a minute?"

"What sup?" Danny said.

"We have a huge problem," I replied back.

"Is Jess okay?"

"Maybe not. Look, listen to the news." I clicked the remote control of the flat-screen TV.

"Here in Channel 9 news. Henry Jones who escaped from prison is coming back to find his stepdaughter Jessica Mayberry. He killed seven cops and murdered a young-woman age 21. The body of Crystal Aniston was found two days ago from Jefferson, Louisiana," she continues. "If you see this man," shows the picture of Henry. "Call your local police station. This is channel 9 news," goes to commercials.

"Dude, his close. If he finds Jessica...were all dead," Danny says.

"He's not going to find her nor us because he doesn't know were we live."

"You don't know Henry. He'll do anything to catch Jessica. We need to move somewhere else. Lie or something," we walks to the kitchen.

I sat down on the couch and covered my face with my hands. Theres so much things going on Jessica's life that I haven't talked about with her. She only has me and Danny. I can't hide this from her. What if he finds her and takes her away from me.

"Simon, I was wondering if we three go shopping to the mall," Jessica said from behind me.

"How about if we all go on a Vacation?" Danny asked.

"Why?" Jessica asked.

"It will be cool to go Hawaii. Feeling the waves ocean or seeing the beautiful sunsets," I told her.

"Are you guys hiding something?" I gulped down when she said that question.

"Never mind. Let's go shopping," I grabbed her wrist and down the elevator we went.

"Simon. Simon, calm down."

"Jess, promise me something," I said to her.

"Sure."

"Please..." I paused.

"Simon, your scaring me."

"The first time I met you Jessica, I thought...I wouldn't see you again. You--" she interrupted me.

"Simon, l love you. Believe me I wanted to said that on my birthday but I thought you wouldn't love me back."

"No, no, no, no. I also love you, Jess. But always promise me that if you ever be in trouble that I will save you. No one else but me," I kissed her. I touched her cheeks and neck when I was still kissing her. She pulled away.

"I know you will save me, Simon," she puts her arms around me. She moan inside when we still kissing.

Henry POV:

"You wanted to see me my old good friend Henry," my friend Christofer said.

"It's been a long time, Chris."

"I know. What have you been doing?"

"My ex-wife died two years ago and I'm here tracking my stepdaughter," I explained.

"You're the one that escaped from jail and abused your stepdaughter. You really killed that 21 young-woman?"

"Yes. She wanted more-if you know what I mean."

"Haha! Still insane just like in high school," Chris says.

"Chris, I came here for your help as...a friend, I guess. Could you track my stepdaughter?"

"It will cost you, Henry."

"How much?"

"1,000."

"I have 900," I told him.

"It will work. If you want me to track her I need small information. Age, name and last name, where she was born and finally mother's name," he tells me.

"I'll find it," we talked an hour or two until I robbed a white FORD car to find money and alcohol.

T W O D A Y S P A S S E D:

"We got the information," Christofer said.

"Where is she?"

"New Orleans, Louisiana."

"Thanks, Chris" I stood up but I stopped when he said something important.

"You know Henry she's very beautiful stepdaughter you have there. Maybe when you get her, you could bring here and--" I interrupted her.

"I know what you do, Chris. I'll bring her to you," I gave him the evil smile and left to a different FORD car.

*******

I arrived there to New Orleans within 48 hours 'cause somehow the cops keeps chasing me. I called Chris to know where she's living, "Chris which building?"

"Apartment A34," I hanged up and saw the name of the Apartments 'Sterling Villa.'

Jessica POV:

"I have to down to the elevator," I said to Danny.

"Alone?"

"Of course. You're busy," I said.

"Can you wait for me?"

"No. Do you know what happen when you burn your mothers house for not paying attention to the apple pie?"

"Just be careful," he said.

I went down to the elevator since Simon left to find lightbulbs in the market. Down I went to pick up the mails and saw that the doorman wasn't here checking in for people.

"Billy?" I said. "Billy, are you here?"

"Hey, Jessica!" I screamed with the lungs I had. The mails fell to the ground.

"What are you doing here?"
