The Ultimate Betrayal Part 3
Jordan struggled, her eyes wide like a wild horse that had been captured when she witnessed the blast. The captor held her chin towards the building and she witnessed every last detail. It played over and over in her head as she sat chained to the bed that was overlooking the San Francisco Bay. She shed her millionth tear and laid her forehead on the window sill.
She would attempt to yell for help but the lighthouse that was out on the water's platform was to high up and the houses were to far away. She had tried one too many times, to the point she was hoarse. She had lost track of how many days she had been gone and only knew it was day or night. She had yet to see her kidnapper, making her mind go wild with fear and anxiety. Often she felt her chest tighten up with an anxiety attack, the room spin, and she would black out, only to wake up to the now familiar situation.
Her mind ran relentlessly in circles wondering if Tempest, Tiffany, Ice, and the rest of the crew were okay. She grimaced when the replay ran again in her head. She again rested her head on the white window sill and watched the vibrant , white thunder clouds roll in that were accompanied by Thunder and then shuddered when the first crack of booming thunder rang out, making it too real to the sound of the explosion. She broke into a cold sweat and drew her legs up to her chest, her head resting on her legs. The rain became soft on the calm water but eventually become faster and the drops got bigger. She took in the sea smell, wishing she could enjoy the peaceful scene unfolding in front of her. Her mind returned to the realization she was being held captive and she still didn't know how any of her friends, let alone family was.
Tears ran down her face , her sunken eyes burning from the blowing salty air as she cried as though her heart was broken. It was more from frustration and anger as opposed to fear. She looked to the sky, asking why in her mind, her pain making her body shake and the cool breeze making chill bumps rise on her thin stick like arms. If only she could remember how long she had been here or if her friends were okay. She drifted off into a non peaceful sleep, the waves crashing on the bay's bank lulling her to sleep.

"This can't be happening." Letty huffed as she worked out in the gym, her face pouring with sweat. She tired to remember the moments before it had all seemed to literally explode and fall into bits and pieces.
"Letty, it's time to go, sweetheart." Leon walked in, looking at her as though wondering why she was working out.
"Go where?" Letty asked, her confused expression making Leon's heart ache. She had amnesia and she didn't even realize what was wrong with her. She wasn't the tough talking Letty that everyone knew and loved, she was just an empty, confused shell.
"The funeral." He said softly, putting his arm around her and leading her out and up the stairs to her room.
"I don't want to go to a funeral." Letty moved her hair out of her face, not the typical way of blowing it out of her face.
"None of us do." Leon said sadly, his heart heavy, though he was trying to be strong for the rest of the crew. Letty disappeared into her room and came back out in a black dress, her hair just put in a low ponytail.
"Letty, you look …nice." Vince said, coughing, hiding his shock at her in a dress. He scratched the white gauze that was wrapped around his head, a small crimson spot on it indicating he had been injured.
"Thanks Jess." She replied, walking past the two guys, getting a concerned look from Vince. He
Started to say something but Leon reminded him that she had amnesia.
"Oh yeah." Vince sighed sadly, his mouth silent of anything else to say after that. The black limos that were awaiting them outside only darkened his mood and he put on his sunglasses to hide his sadness. Today was not going to be an easy day. He wasn't sure if the rest of his days or the crew's days would ever be easy again.
"V, Leon, Letty, you guys doing okay?" Brian asked, his black suit another tip to Letty why they were at a church.
"Holding up as best as can be expected." Leon coughed, his head down and tears in his eyes.
"yeah." Brian said, his one hand in the pocket and the other on the pew's row where his wife sat in pure silence as though her body was frozen.
