How Far Will She Go?

Chapter Twenty-Six

Kate's POV

"Henry you should probably explain yourself. Because I have no idea what's going on inside your head." I said leaning back into the couch.

"Okay then." Henry said looking at me confused. "Well my name is Henry Jones. I'm the youngest of me and my brother. I never wanted to join the gang just so you know." Henry said and I struggled to keep my eyes open.

"I need coffee. Anybody want anything? If so we can move into the kitchen." I said looking around and everyone stood.

"Kate I can explain all of this in the morning. You look exhausted. I think you need sleep not coffee." Henry said looking at me concerned.

"Fine. I'm going to bed." I said standing only to sway when a dizzy spell hit me. I felt strong hands grab my arms trying to steady me. "I'm fine." I said trying to shake the spell away.

"Kate come on. Sit down." Isaac said pulling me back onto the couch. After a few seconds my vision cleared.

"Henry. Isabelle. You guys can stay in which ever room you want to." I said not looking at anybody.

"Okay. Well good night." Isabelle spoke up and I heard them walk away.

"Come on Kate let's get you to bed before you pass out." Isaac said standing and pulling me with him.

"I'm fine Isaac." I lied as my head began to pound. I saw him shake his head as he lead me down the hall. He opened my bedroom door and pulled me into the room towards the bed.

"Kate do you want anything to eat or drink?" He asked looking at me as I grabbed my tank top and shorts that I sleep in.

"I could use some water." I say thinking about my headache.

"Okay. I'll be back in a few minutes." He said then walked out of the room closing the door. I quickly changed into my clothes and grabbed my Tylenol off the bathroom cabinet.

I walked back into the bedroom as there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" I called and Isaac walked in. "Hey. Thanks." I said taking the water from him.

"Well are you going to bed?" Isaac asked looking uncomfortable. I looked up at him as after I took two Tylenol.

"Yeah might as well." I said climbing under the covers. "Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked looking up at him.

He grinned and climbed under the covers with me. "Are you going to sleep in blue jeans?" I asked as he wrapped an arm around me.

"I just planned on watching a movie." He said and I felt the blush take over my cheeks. He grinned and kissed my cheek. "I'm just teasing. What do you want to watch?" He asked as I snuggled into his side.

"I don't care." I said handing him the remote. He turned on a historic movie and handed back the remote. "Do you mind if I turn the light off?" I asked as he became interested in the movie.

When he didn't answer I rolled my eyes and turned the light out anyways. He looked down at me with a surprised expression. "What I'm sleepy?" I asked looking right back at him. I heard a noise outside.

Then my window shattered. I jumped out of bed grabbing my gun off the table. I ran to the window to see a figure running down thge drive.

I looked at the floor to see a rock wrapped in a sheet of paper. Carefully I picked it up and removed the paper. Then I skimmed the note.

Kathleen
You will pay for what you have done. You killed all the family that I had left. Now I'm going to kill you.

"Someone wants me dead." I whisper not realizing that Isaac was standing right behind me.

"Why?" He asked and I jumped startled. "Why does someone want you dead?" He repeated holding my arms.

"I don't know." I reply honestly as my door opened.

"Kate are you okay? We heard a loud noise." Isabelle said quietly. "Hey what happened?" She asked as Isaac pulled me into his arms.

"Somebody wants me dead." I say stepping away from Isaac. "I think it's the same person that you saw earlier today." I add watching as her eyes widened. "Did she try to come in?" I ask as Henry appeared behind her.

"No. She just walked around. Almost like she was looking for something." Isabelle answered looking at me confused. "What did the note say?" Isabelle asked looking at my clinched fist.

"That I killed all the family she had left and that she was going to kill me." I said thinking about the phone call that I had received while leaving the hospital.

"Kate? Are you okay? You just turned pale as a ghost." Henry said and I met his worried gaze.

"Isaac. Do you remember Journey?" I asked looking away from Henry. I heard a gasp and I turned back.

"Journey as in the one we thought might be a mole?" Isaac asked oblivious to the fact that Henry looked shocked.

"Yeah. Her. We wondered how Cage always stayed ahead of the police. We thought that she might have been the leak. We were right. Only she was family." I said looking at Henry for confirmation.

"What?" Isaac asked confused.

"Journey was never a violent person. Why would she start now?" Henry suddenly asked and Isaac turned to him.

"Henry think about it. What would you do if someone killed Isabelle? Put yourself in your sisters shoes." I said ignoring Isaac's shocked expression.

"You mean she wants to revenge? But why? Her and Cage were never very close." Henry said still confused.

"She already thought that you were dead. Cage was all she had left. She might not have like him very much. But family is family. And you do for family." I explain trying to get him to see my side of it.

"But still. She would never change her mind. What if I contact her? Maybe she would leave you be." Henry suggested trying to change my mind.

"No. She won't quit now." I said as my fire alarms started to go off and I smelt smoke. "Let's go!" I screamed over the road of the sudden flames.
