And She Was Caught (Completed)

Chapter 11

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Jack sat at the steps towards the doorway, burying his face in his hands. He scrunched his eyes shut as the headache started to seep in. What was wrong with him? Those words were nothing but lies, they were all wrong and twisted! The look in her face? Damn, how could he cause that?

He didn't know what occurred to him, all that he knew was how pissed he was that Vanessa cried over that murderer, it pissed him off she told him she loved that Alex. It pissed him off that there was this urge inside him that making him embrace her and never let go. It was wrong! He shouldn't be feeling that way because at the end of the day, Vanessa and him was impossible.

He rubbed his eyes with the sole of his palm and hissed. A car pulled over the drive way and he saw Cain going out of the car. He needed to apologize to her, explain to her and what? Then what, fucko? What would happen next after he explain to her? And what on Earth was he even going to say to her?

Because I kept on thinking about you.

Jack stood from where he was sitting and strode purposely towards his friend. "What? You guys are done already? Where's the chic?" Cain asked grinning but Jack was not having any of it. His friend felt his mood and the grin fell from his face. "You did something really fuckin' stupid."

"Yes and I am going to set it straight." Jack took the keys from Cain and took off with one thing in his mind --- Vanessa.

Even a block away, he already knew something went wrong in the Bennet's. There was an ambulance and EMTs and police coming out from the house. He cursed under his breath then parked and went out of his car.

"What happened?" He asked one police officer who looked at him apprehensively.

"Who are you?" The man asked and Jack's patience exhausted.

"I'm a family friend, now I am asking you what happened?" He bit off. Just as the same time the police officer talked, the EMTs went out with a stretcher. "Joshua!" He ran towards the unconscious man, his heart pounding hard inside his chest. He was shot in the chest for fuck's sake! Alejandro Motreal was here!

The EMT's lifted the stretcher to the ambulance. "Are you coming sir?" The nurse asked and he shook his head but he gave them his card.

"Call me where you will bring him." The guy nodded and the ambulance took off.

Jack ran his way inside the house, called out Vanessa's name but she wasn't there. Where could she be? Three of Motreal's men were dead, Vanessa couldn't possibly had done this. Somebody else was in here.

He dialed Melissa Norman's number, "Who's this?" She asked her voice sounding thick.

"Jackson Matthews. Can you go here at Vanessa's house? His father's house, rather."

She sounded more alert when she spoke again, "What happened to her? Is she okay?"

Jack sighed, "I am not sure yet ---"

"What in the hell do you mean you're not sure?" She shouted over the phone making Jack wince.

"She's not here when I arrived but her father is in the hospital. Can you get her cat here and take care of him while I get Vanessa back?"

"O-okay. Okay, please bring her back, safe." Melissa stuttered and Jack's lips quirked.

"I will." He ended the call.

He mounted his car and took off, calling Cain. He needed to get her back. After that, they'd both figure things out between them. So God help him, let Vanessa be safe.
