When She Is No Longer Mine «Jason McCann & Justin Bieber»

80

The next morning

I slowly sit up, careful not to wake my wife. I glance over to see all the kids in bed, except Carson. "Babe," I shake Nezther gently. "Baby, where's Carson?"

She rubs her eyes as she sits up also. She stands up immediately when she sees he isn't in his bed. "Carson!?" She shouts into the room. She goes to the bathroom. "Baby, this isn't funny! Where are you!?" She looks around the entire room. "Call Kinsley, please. Oh my god," she panics.

Jasper climbs out of his bed. "Momma, what's happening?" He asks confusedly.

"Carson's gone," she cries. As I was about to click call on Kinsley's contact, Nezther's phone starts ringing. She quickly jumps for it. "Hello? ...." her jaw drops and she puts the phone on speaker.

"He's here, Nezther, and he's fine for now. But believe me, if you aren't back in your house in Malibu by noon, he's dead."

I recognize that voice anywhere.

"Justin, please!" Nezther sobs. "Just bring him back to me safe, please," she begs.

"Hmm," he thinks aloud. "Nope, we're already at the exit to get off in Malibu. I'll be at your house in fifteen minute. Come alone or I'll kill your retarded kid," he chuckles before hanging up.

"My baby," Nezther gasps for air. "Oh my god. He has my baby," I watch her slide on her shoes.

I grab her arms. "What're you doing? You can't go, he'll kill you," I motion to her stab wound.

"Jason, please," she cups my cheeks. "That's my baby, the one who needs the most protection, the most vulnerable one, I have to go get him."

"Kinsley and I can follow you in her car."

She just nods. "I'll meet you down in the lobby. Make sure Leigh can watch the kids though, if she doesn't want to, you stay and have Kinsley follow me."

"Luca, is everyone in position?" I ask into my phone.

I hear Luca ask something into his walkie talkie. "All clear, sir. Justin is in your room, I can see him in the window closest to your bathroom."

I nod to myself. I turn to Kinsley, "tell Nezther to go in slowly." She tells my wife to go. "Make sure someone can see her."

"Yes, sir," Luca mumbles, "I can see her entering the house. Hang on." I wait a few seconds before he speaks again. "Justin hears her, he just grabbed Carson and is holding a gun to his head. He's now entering the bathroom."

A gun shot goes off and I drop my phone and run to my house. I bolt up both flights of stairs and push open my bedroom door. Nezther is on her stomach on the floor. "He missed," she whispers.

"Is he still in there?" I point to the bathroom.

"As far as I know."

I take the gun from my waist band and hold it up. I cock it then push the door open. The bathroom is completely empty with the window open and a small rope ladder hanging to the ground.

I hear David's voice in the distance. "Move, move, move!" He shouts.

I turn back to my bedroom. "Okay, baby, up," I reach my hands to her. She takes them and I help her stand up. "Stay behind me, just in case," I whisper. She nods in reply. We make our way downstairs to see a note on the counter.

I said come alone. Now have fun finding your son alone.

I crumple it up and let out a grunt. "Motherfucker thinks he'll get away with this." I start making my way out of the house. "Look at me," I cup my wife's cheeks. "Sofia is in the car with Kinsley. She's going to take you to the hotel to get the kids and bring you to the safe house. You get in your truck and drive behind them, don't stop for anything, don't look at anyone, just go. I'm sick and tired of this psycho fucker messing with my family. This time I will kill him." I kiss her forehead and run to Luca's truck.

"We back in business?" He asks as I buckle myself in.

"Fuck yeah, we are," I growl.

An evil grin spreads across his face. "We've missed you, man."

"I filled out a police report, I waited at the hotel to see if he'd come back... what if he killed him, Jason?" Nezther sobs into the phone.

I chew on my bottom lip. "I don't know, baby. The only thing you can do is wait. We're looking everywhere, the police are on the look out, there isn't much else to do."

"Promise me you'll hurt him if you find him?"

"I promise you I'll fucking kill him when I find him. No if's, only when's, babygirl. You know that, Angel. I love you," I say to her.

"Daddy?"

"Yes, Princess?" I grin.

"Promise you're gonna let me do it?"

"My crazy little baby," I chuckle, "do I ever say no to you?"
