Chapter 7

Going Home

XxXxX

It had been weeks since the kidnapping of Alanta, Jackson and Lisa's. Lisa's ribs were healing as they should and Alanta was still in the hospital. The doctors wanted to keep her under their watch till she had recovered. Alanta had received more injuries than just the gun shot wound the shoulder.

Alanta sat up in her hospital bed. She had fun playing with the bed controls. Just as she had put it in an up right position, the nurse walked in with another tray of food. "Thank you" Alanta said smiling. She removed the covering to reveal the food. Slowly beginning to eat she groaned, I want a cheeseburger.., she thought to herself.

Lisa walked in and closed the door behind her. "Hi Lisa," Alanta said a mouthful of food.

"Hi Alanta," She said laughing looking at her. Lisa moved over to her and sat down at the end of the bed, "How are you feeling today?" Lisa asked, folding her legs.

Alanta shrugged slightly. "Look at my chart and tell me. I would be better if I was at home in Miami." Alanta said quietly. Lisa looked at her and nodded slowly.

"Maybe you should talk to you brother about it" Lisa said looking at her.

Alanta looked at her. "Maybe, he wouldn't want me to be in more danger than I need to. Jackson is protective" She said. Lisa snorted and looked down rubbing her nose, pretending she didn't do anything. Alanta scowled at her. "Jackson may be a killer in your eyes but in mine he saved my life and is my older brother" She said harshly.

"Sorry didn't mean anything by it," She smiled a bit. "He seems like he is a good brother. Have you seen him lately?" Alanta shook her head and continued on with her eating. Lisa watched her. "I will talk to him, if you like? No that I really want to but if it means you coming home."

Alanta looked at her. "You would go see my brother? The man that tried to kill you and reason with him for me to come home?" Lisa nodded slowly. "Ok then, well the first thing you actually got to do is find out where he lives first. He moved so I don't know where he is."

Lisa sighed. "Thought as much, his sister is in hospital and he doesn't even think of telling her where he lives or how to contact him." She shook her head disapprovingly.

Alanta watched her. "Ah, he's not thick headed you know. Of course he left some way for me to contact him." She pulled out her cell phone. It was quite clunky. "He gave me this when I was younger. Long story on that one. But I've been keeping it running for the last few years. I have his private contact number on it." She smiled. "He doesn't really like people getting into his private life. Never has." Alanta sighed and put her phone beside her while taking a bite of her apple. Lisa watched her. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it again.

"Why don't you call him now Alanta?" Lisa asked. "That way I can let dad know your coming back, he will be happy to you see you again" Lisa smiled brightly. Alanta thought about it and then picked up her phone and called Jackson.

"Hello?" Jackson answered.

"Hi Alanta, how are you feeling?" He asked.

"Good, I'm ok Alanta. What are you calling for?"

"Okay, ask away"

Jackson sat down on his work chair. He had flown back to Miami. He had lead his company back to Miami so they would not hurt Alanta or…Lisa, much to his despise. Jackson ran his hand through his hand through his hair.

"What? You will be in danger all the time Alanta!" Jackson went into his kitchen and got a drink.

"Well, if you do come home. You will have to live with Lisa. Okay? You will only get to visit me." He said in reply to her comment.

"Why can't I live with you? I want to live with you Jackson." Alanta said looking at the apple in her hand.

"But really I'll be safer with you. Why? Because Lisa is a bigger target…she's the one that screwed up your assignment/mission impossible thing. Whatever you want to call it." She said getting fed up quickly.

"What?! How often would I get to visit you?" She asked. "Three days a week! Yeah yeah, I know it's better than nothing" She said.

"Okay, yeah I will, always do and you too." She said sadly. "Bye" Alanta hung up and put the phone down.

"So what did he say?" Lisa asked pulling out some things from her bag till she got her purse and cell phone.

"Well, if I want to live there, he said I had to live with you and visit him three days a week or I stay here with a new foster family." She looked at Lisa. Lisa smiled brightly.

"Well when do you think the doctors will let you out?" Lisa said jumping off the bed and going to see Alanta's doctor. Alanta looked at her food tray. She pushed it away, having lost her appetite.

A few minutes later, Lisa walked back in grinning. "Your out next Tuesday!" Lisa said crossing her legs once she sat at the end of the bed. Alanta smiled slightly.

"Great, I'll get the tickets sorted out for us" Lisa said.
