Lost Then Found (29)

"Okay babe, I have to tell you something. But you can't be mad when I tell you."

He looked at me suspiciously. "What did you do..."

"I kind of... sort of... went to bjjgkfssghjkg." By that part thats what it sounded like, because I lowered my voice so he couldn't hear me.

"What did you say? I can't understand mumble."

"I said, I kind of... sort of... went to visit Alysha in jail.."

"You WHAT?!"

"Listen man, I'm not repeating myself again."

"Why would you do that? Of all people, you choose to visit ALYSHA DAVIS in prison?!"

"Well, if you think about it, there was no one else that I knew in prison." I smirked. And he looked at me with the straightest face, and I stopped.

"Why did you go and see her?" He asked. His patience thinning.

"For information. She called and told me that she had to talk to me face-to-face about the kidnapping and I thought long and hard about it. But I decided to go. She gave a lot of info though.."

"Well what did she say?"

"Well, no one hurt Jamie. But it wasn't only her doing the crime. Marcus and his dad were in on it too. And guess who his father is... wait for it.... Mark." His eyes widened. "Yes mom's Mark. Thats the son he always talked about."

"Told you those guys gave me a bad vibe."

"Yeah yeah, you were right."

"And why'd he team up with Alysha anyway?"

"Because hdrhjfdkovzsgjjvhuigf."

"What?"

"Because they gmogdhvxgnvgg." He gave me a straight face again.

"Dammit because they were together! They cheated on us with each other Bennie."

He stopped for a second. I was afraid of his reaction. "Well those idiots are perfect for each other."

"Thats what I said!"

"I actually have to thank them though, because if they didn't, I wouldn't have you." He grinned. I kissed him and crawled into his hospital bed.

"But there's more, she told me that Jamie's kidnapping was only the beginning... Bennie he's not gonna stop until he hurts everyone I love."

"That's not gonna happen. I'm not gonna let that happen. We're gonna stop him..okay?" he wiped my tears and kissed my forehead. "Okay?"

"Okay."

I have to find out what really happened that day Jenn had that burger. So there I was at Barnie's waiting for Fran to start her shift in 3.....2.....

"Sammie honey! How is my Jenny? is she okay?" She was very concerned.

"She's fine. Actually thats what I came here for. Can I speak to Joe for a quick sec?" Joe is Barnie's oldest son and the head chef and boss of the place. He took over after Barnie died a few years back of heart failure. Fran is Barnie's first daughter, and Joe's twin sister.

"Sure hold on just one... second. JOEE!!!"

"WHAT?!"

"Come out here! Sam wants to talk to ya!.......... JOEE!!"

"I'm coming!" He walked out of the kitchen.

"Hey Sam. What can I do for ya?"

"A couple weeks ago, you told Fran to put some kind of cream sauce on Jenn's burger.. Where'd you get it from?"

"Well her dad came that morning telling me that it's her favorite sauce and to put some of it in her burger. He even gave me a crisp hundred!"

What? Her dad knows she's highly allergic to Cajun Red Peppers. And he's always on business trips. He wasn't even there that day because he had to fly down from New York when he found out that she was in the hospital. So it definitely can't be him

"What did he look like?"

"Well, he looked like he was uhh 6'2 or 6'3, probably in his forties, blonde hair, scruffy beard, and glasses."

Mark.

"Thank you so much. I gotta go."

"Wait Sam honey! I heard about Ben. Give him this pie. I know hospital food tastes awful. And give him a big hug and kiss for me."

"Thanks I will."

~~~~

"He did it!" I burst into his hospital room. He jumped out of his nap.

"I'm sorry for waking you but he did it! Mark and Marcus are responsible for Jenn's allergic reaction. Oh, here's a pie from Fran. Appearently, Mark posed as her dad and paid Joe a hundred dollars to put the sauce in her burger."

"Dumbass didn't know her dad was on a business trip." He said, his mouth full of pie.

"I know right? He flew down and came straight to hospital when he found out. Joe even gave the exact description the coach gave for Jamie. 6'2 or 6'3, probably in his forties, blonde hair, scruffy beard, and glasses. And we have your statement- seeing him driving the car that hit you. Baby do you know what this means?!" I jumped as I stuffed a fork full of apple pie into my mouth.

"We got 'em."
