The Force

What Happened?

(Sorry if you saw a blank chapter! When I got a new phone I think the contents of the chapter got deleted. Sorry if it's a bit different than before. Anyway here it is!)

Bea's POV

"Jake that's amazing! I can't believe you still mess around with that kind of tech!" I exclaimed. He chuckled and smirked. I heard a faint noise and noticed that Mari had fallen asleep on David's shoulder. I frowned and looked at him. "You three should go back home and rest. We all have the night shift tonight, but I can just get some coffee," I said smiling at them.

"Nope I'm not leaving. David take Marissa home. I'm staying here with you," Jon said with a smile. David nodded and picked up Mari before walking out. I walked over to Jon and hugged him.

"You really don't have to stay," I said quietly. He shook his head.

"Even if I'm not your boyfriend and I'm really gay I still care about you. And don't you forget it!" He said laughing a bit at the end. I smiled and nodded.

"Let me grab you guys some coffee real quick. I can show you the texts if you want," Jake said. He pulled out one of those slider phones (if you don't know what that is you are too young) and handed it to me before walking to the kitchen.
I pulled up the text messages and looked through them.
(Bold = Jake
Italics = Zeke)

Hey cutie it's me. ;)
Jake I was expecting your call. Well text I guess.
Well it was hard not to. So who was that you were escorting through town today?
Oh it was just my Grandmother who had just came in for a visit.
Well she had quite an interesting tattoo on her ankle. Didn't she. Or should I say he.
I don't know what you mean.
Oh I know you do. That tattoo was the gang symbol that is left at almost every crime scene in this town. So are you gonna tell me the truth hun?
Alright you've got me. It was one of my newer gang members going in for initiation. After all the most dangerous gang in the city is getting pretty popular after that explosion a few years back. And you are talking to the one that caused it.
You are the one that killed my father. I couldn't Be happier. That asshole always cared more about Bea than me.
Oh your father isn't dead. He has been in our possession this whole time. But only members get to see him. And beat him.
That bastard is still alive. Zeke please oh please let me join your gang. I want my revenge on him and Bea! That brat has a police training session today and has to take the train to get to it.
Of course my dear. Just meet with me at this location four days from now, and then we can both get our revenge.

As I finished reading the texts I looked at Jon. My face fell as I looked at the date. Jake walked in as we finished.

"I know I know I'm a great actor," he said with a chuckle. When he saw my face. "What's wrong Bumblebee?"

"Th-that date. It was the day before I got taken. When I saw that guy on the train," I said. My hands started shaking. My breathing got shaky. Jon put his hands on my shoulder

"Bea hey look at me. You are okay I promise. I need you to take a big breath for me," he said calmingly. I nodded and took a breath.

"W-what was that?" Jake asked. Jon looked at him.

"She's been having these since that explosion...one day in the chem lab back in school we had one and she was frozen. Marissa had to carry her out," he said as he rubbed my back. Jake sat down next to me and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry Bea. I led him right to you. And you said you were taken? What do you mean by that?" He said as he looked at me concerned.

"The night you were texting...him...I saw his new member on the train ride home from the training. He shot both me and this lady who used to work with dad. She was around 75 I think. Well she pulled a pistol out of her purse and shot this guy in the head. The next day I go into the morgue and see that this guy had the tattoo. I go outside to get on my bike and then someone grabbed me and held chloroform to my mouth. Next thing I knew I was tied up in a chair. Zeke came in and I tried to break out so they knocked me out again. Then they...they pulled off my attachment. If it wasn't for the Squad I probably would have died there...oh my gods I could have died," I summarized tearing up at the last bit. I hadn't even thought about it until now. I really could have died. I would have never seen Luke, Marissa, Jon, or Jake again. At this point I was full on sobbing into my big brother's shoulder. He clung onto me as well.

"I'm so so sorry Bea. It's my fault that this happened. I just wanted to see Dad again. And I figured well Zeke doesn't like you so that would be a good thing to say to him. God I almost got you killed," He said gripping my shirt. Jon pulled us both into a hug and we sat there. For the next five minutes it was the same. I was crying. Jake was shaking and tearing up. Jon was just trying to calm the two of us down. When we did I just looked at Jon.

"Thanks Jonny. You too Jake," I said smiling a tiny bit. I sat there and thought about how they had been for me throughout the years, and how the squad has too. I still had my family. And it's even grown some, too.
