Hostage

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I let the warm water from the shower heat every inch of me and after I had relaxed a little bit, got out. I walked to the kitchen and saw Jack looking at the T.V

"Whats on?" I asked.

"You" I heard the T.V reporting my disappearance, my father was on TV too talking about where I was last seen. Then I had an idea.

"I know I shouldn't be helping you kidnap me, but I wanted to change things up anyway. I have an idea" I said, he turned around and looked at me with a puzzled frown.

"an idea?" I  grabbed the cordless phone off the side table and started dialing my Vegas friend Desmond. But Jack got the wrong idea and tried to take it away then started chasing me around the condo. I knew he thought I as going to call the cops and by all means I should but things would be over soon, and I wanted to ride this out to see where it went.

"Hello" Des answered on the first ring.

"Desmond! it's Raven!" I said,it was hard to talk while I was running though.

"Raven! Girl I missed you!" he yelled.

"I need some help"

"Anything, whats up?" he said.

"I want to change my hair from brown to something a little different" I exclaimed.

"Sure get over here soon i'm booked most of the day" he said

"Your in town right?" Des asked.

"Yeah, okay see you soon" I hung up right when Jack tackled me to the bed.

"I got you!" he said happy that I was caught.

"Yeah now get off! You weigh a ton" I yelled.

"Who did you call?" he asked angry.

"Desmond"

"Who's that!?" he asked.

"get off and i'll tell you!" I tried to yell but had no breath. Jack obeyed and stood in font of me.

"Desmond, is a stylist buddy here in Las Vegas and I thought since people might be on the lookout for me that it would be helpful to do a little makeover and change things up" I looked down as I tried to get my breathing back to normal. He laid his hand on my back and kneeled to see my face.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to knock the wind out of you like that" he said while softly patting my back.

"I'm ok" 

"Well can we trust this guy?" he asked.

"Of course we can, he won't catch word of my "disappearance for another week or two, he's always been a little behind on the less prominent news but we have to go now he's booked most of the day" I looked at Jacks attire and knew he wasn't ready.

"I'll change" he jogged off to his room and I got up and fixed my hair in a bun. When he came out we left together, but when we were in the elevator it hit him.

"Desmond isn't helping you escape is he? He could tell the cops what you look like after the makeover." he asked angry now.

"Jack really! I had the phone but I didn't call the cops,Ii could have left during your shower and I didn't, and why would I bother to change my hair if I plan to escape. I've had a million chances and haven't taken them how about a little trust here"

"Are you sure" he cautioned.

"Paranoid much" I looked at the door as it opened and we both walked out, he had paid so we were able to just leave, he told the guy what car to bring and a silver Jeep pulled up, Jack slipped in and so did I.

"Nice car" I smirked.

"The other one wasn't mine" he said smiling at me.

"I prefer motorcycles though" I ran my fingers along the dash and looked out the window.

"I do too, but it would be more difficult to travel in a motorcycle" he said.

"Jack?"

"What?"

"I'm hungry" I complained.

"Wait you'll get your hair done then we'll get some food"

"But i'm hungry now" I whined.

"Too bad" he smiled at me but I didn't smile back. I directed him to the salon where Des works and convinced him I should go alone. Jack insisted that he was watching and if I tried anything he wouldn't think twice about barging in guns ablaze. I walked in and instantly greeted with a bear hug.

"Raven!" he squealed.

"Dezie" I laughed as we caught up and talked about our past years in high school.

"You ready to get a new look?"

"absolutely" I smiled and he worked his magic after about 40 minutes I had shoulder length blonde hair that looked great.

"Oh! Desmond it's amazing!" I squealed.

"If I may say so you look great! A total change but a good one" he smiled and hugged me again.

"Oh! i'm going to have to stop by again but right now i'm on my to a new modeling job" I sighed.

"Aw! Raven I haven't seen you in so long be sure to come again!" he hugged me again then I headed out the door. Jack was waiting for me outside. I got in the car and he drove off.

"You look good, you were right, a total change." he smiled at me.

"Thanks, so where are we going now?" I sighed a bit annoyed we had to leave so soon.

"Spain" he smiled at me.

"We're leaving the country!?" 

"we can't stay here, it's not safe"

"Not safe!? For you or me?" I glared at him but he was completely focused on the road.

"For either of us. I'm here to keep you safe believe it or not"

"I don't believe that" I scoffed.

"Look it was a race to see who got to you first me or the bad guys"

"You are a bad guy"

"You have a lot to learn princess" He chuckled.
