Be Still

Chapter Three: Unraveled Knots

The storm had now passed and Jordan had just put his car in his garage. He pushed down the garage door and moved to lock it when he was suddenly pushed into it and he turned around to meet the murderous eyes of Jason. "Where's my money?"

"Rob and I...we snatched two kids who have really rich parents and once we have them hidden we'll send out a ransom note."

Jason's eyes lit up at Jordan's explanation, his eyes shining with a sick, carnal gleam. "I like children...how old are they?"

"A boy about 10 and a girl about 8..."

"A girl?" Jason repeated, vile ideas flying through his head. "I would like to see them...to, you know, make sure you're not trying to pull my leg here."

"They're being taken up the river right now to "the place". I'm meeting with Robert tomorrow morning just before Knot Bridge. You'll be able to see them then."

"Good...and I may do a little more then just "see" them."

"I'm sorry?" Jordan replied confused at Jason's reply.

"Don't worry about it. I'll meet you at the bridge tomorrow, what time?"

"I'm going to get there around 6:00."

Jason nodded and began to walk down the driveway quickly throwing over his shoulder, "You better not be lying to me, Jordan."

"Oh, Gomez, we've been looking for hours out here and there isn't a sign of them anywhere!" Morticia called out distressed as she walked up to him from a separate forest path.

"I know," Gomez replied as he held her hands in between them. "But Lurch just went home to fetch Kitty; he has a good nose on him."
