Chapter Thirteen

Empty, that's the only emotion that I held within me as a squad car pulled up as the four of us played in the snow. Two officers stepped out the the squad looking over at the four of us who had froze on the ground the moment they pulled up.

Jagger was the first to stand, in front of me, might I add. "May I help you?"

"Yeah, we're looking for an Andrew Ericson. We've been lead to believe that he maybe why his younger sister is missing."

I stood hugging Jagger from behind, poking my head out slightly to look at the cops.

"Have you seen this girl?" One of the officers came up to us holding out my picture.

I was blonde in the picture, no make up on my face. I looked different from the way I do now.

"No sir, we haven't seen her before." Jagger said grabbing my hand in his own. "How did she go missing?"

"Possible kidnapping." The other answered. "Now can you tell us where we can find Andrew?"

"You just missed him." My voice whispered out to them. "He just left with his girlfriend to go back to the city. They have a two hour drive home, maybe you could find him there."

The officer nodded as Jagger glanced at me.

"Thank you very much." The officer said to us. "And we're sorry to be of any interruptance."

And as they left Jagger let out a soft growl in frustration as he grabbed me in a hug. "Dammit! They've gotten to close for comfort, we need to get out of here."

"But where?" Echo asked.

Jagger thought a moment. "Maybe it should just be Emma and I." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know if I could keep us all safe where as in if it's just the two of us then maybe we can cover more ground and hide a bit better."

"Then you're gunna need my help." Andy said from the door way. "I've been hooking up with a couple old buddies of mine. Turns out some of them are highly trained in disappearing which is why I've been talking with them. Jagger you and my sister can be off the grid totally and the rest of us will be fine."

Jagger nodded before looking at Gale. "That means Eskape has to go on a hiatus for a while till we can figure this out."

Gale nodded. "That's bearable."

Jagger sighed heavily as he tightened his arms around me, resting his forehead against my own. "I'm gunna keep you safe, I promise."

I nodded looking up at him, his electric blue eyes starring down at me. "I love you."

"I love you, too." I whispered back to him.

*************************************

*"I never loved you, dammit!" Jagger yelled at me as his electric blue eyes blazed bright with anger. "I was just playing you! I've never loved you! I've felt sorry for you but I've never loved you!"*

*My body stood there frozen like a statue. Did the man I love really just say he never loved me?*

*"J-J-Jagger." My voice stumbled as my lip wobbled. "W-why?"*

*"He laughed at me, everything about him that I loved had changed. He wasn't the man I fell in love with anymore. "You're so pathetic."*

*"B-but I-I'm p-pregnant....with y-your child." I nearly sobbed. "Jagger I love you!"*

*"I never loved you!" He spat. "Never!"*

*I began to sob as he walked off and away from me, away from the life we could have had together.*

I awoke screaming, somebody holding me down when I thrashed about. Hot tears streamed down my face as I kept screaming and then suddenly someone pulled me into there arms before I felt lips press against my own calming my every nerve.

"Baby girl, I'm right here." Jagger whispered. "Shh!"

I buried my face I his chest as I sobbed. "Never leave me."

"Shh! I would never leave you, Emma. I promise." Jagger said to me tilting my face up to look at him. "What was his nightmare about?" His face was filled with pure concern as he looked deep into my eyes.

I shook my head not wanting to say a thing to him.

"Emma." He looked at me sternly but his face softened. "I want to help you and I can't do that with you shutting me out."

"Just never leave me, okay?" I said.

His face twisted as he asked. "Is that what this is about? That I would leave you?"

I nodded slowly.

"I would never leave you. Never! I promised to keep you safe and that's what I'm gunna do." He told me just as the car stopped. Jagger looked up at the front seat. "Why are we stopping, Andy?"

Andy turned around in his seat. "The guy I was talking tto you bout, Andrés, he's a gang leader but he can get you everything you want for a new life with my sister." Andy looked over at me. "Don't hate me when you here the things Andrés has to say bout me. I knew about what dad did to you but I was trying to work for what you and Jagger are gunna get. I love you, Emma." He then turned back to Jagger. "Keep my sister safe." He then handed Jagger a hand gun. "Put it near the small or your back in the waist band. Use it when needed."

Jagger nodded. "If this is a set up I'm killing your ass." He then got out of the car pulling me with him.

Andy speed off when we were out.

"Great, no going back." Jagger mumbled sticking the gun where Andy had told him to. "Lets go."

Jagger grabbed my hand as we made our way toward the abandon looking building. What were we doing here? Was Jagger really gunna go this far, getting involved with a gang, just so that he could keep me safe from my father?

I sighed heavily pressing up against him, I was scared not just for myself but for my boyfriend. We were really doing this.
