"Bella, get up." a voice hissed in Isabella's ear a few days after her kidnapping.

"What?" she snapped back at Jackson.

"Watch your fucking mouth." he snapped back at her.

"Why don't you watch yours?" Jackson could tell that she was smirking at him.

"Just get up. We're leaving."

"Where are we going, Jackson?" she asked.

"Don't worry about that." he glared down at her. "Just hurry up."

She huffed at him but did as she was told, surprisingly. She was unbelievably stubborn and didn't like to do what he told her.

Jackson and Isabella really got on each other's nerves. But he did think she was kind of adorable. Not that he would admit it. He had too much for that.

Jackson roughly grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the hotel suite hurriedly. It was the middle of the night, around three in the morning. It was too risky to go out in broad daylight. Someone was bound to recognize Isabella. It was much safer this way.

His boss had decided that they should drive to the destination, instead of taking a plane. News was expected to spread fast. Plane would put them in way too much danger.

Once they got to the car, Jackson shoved Isabella into the backseat and quickly got in the car. They raced off, certain, that no one saw them.

"Jackson?"

At that moment, Jackson made the mistake of turning around to look at her.

Her big blue eyes were round and full of tears. Sure, Jackson was tough but even the storngest of men couldn't resist those eyes. He actually felt a pang of guilt.

Sure, Jackson had hurt a lot of people. But he would never hurt a child. Especially one that stood up to him like Isabella did. Sure, it's frustrating. But people like that are what keep his faith in humanity alive. She'll be an asset to the world when she's older, he's sure of it.

"Yes?" he answers.

Isabella can hear the crack in his voice as he answers her. But she presses on.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For saving me."

"What did I save you from?" he's really confused now."

"My dad."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, Jackson. Nevermind."

"I'm not going to press you now. But we're not done talking about this."

Isabella pouts in the backseat, silent tears running down her face. It's a touchy subject and it hurts to think about. But Jackson probably won't want to hear her whine.

Jackson thinks for a minute. It's not difficult to guess that Bella's dad abuses her. The bruises and cuts are a telltale sign. And that he scar on her face. He hurts her on a regular basis. No wonder she feels so comfortable with him. This is actually better than where she was to begin. That's sad. Just pitiful.

It's a foreign feeling to Jackson. It's actual feeling, real emotions that haven't been there for a long time. He hasn't felt anything since Jonathan, his twin brother left.

Jackson brushes it off. Jonathan isn't here. And he won't be ever again. He said he wouldn't come back. And Jonathan always means what he says.

It starts to pour rain outside as they drive swiftly along the highway. Jackson's mind comes to a blank and he can't think anymore. He longs for conversation.

"Isabella?" he asks?

No answer.

"Isabella? Don't freak me out like this." he asks again.

No answer.

Jackson looks back to find Isabella sound asleep in the backseat. Her head is leaned against the window. Her chest rises and falls evenly. She's snoring lightly.

Though he doesn't know it, Jackson now tries his best to avoid bumps.

Miles later, Jackson pulls into a gas station. He pays for the gas and waits for his tank to fill up. As he's waiting, Isabella's voice startles him.

"That man looks just like you." she said, happily.

She points at a man sitting inside a fancy car next to them. Jackson gasped when he saw who the man was in the car. She was right.

Staring straight back at him was his twin, Dr. Jonathan Crane.
