Chap 7
Hey I'm able to update, I merged chap 7 and 8 into one large chapter so the next one will be shorter, I'm just happy I can update!
On with the story….
"Now would you like some dinner?" he asked again. "Be careful." he said simply as she unbuckled. To any onlooker it would seem as if he was saying careful getting out but she knew what he meant.
'Don't make me mad'
She got out of the car and he held her hand as they walked into the restaurant.
Reba made it through the dinner with out another incident. He ordered for her and she sat and ate silently with her head down. After what seemed like forever she finally slid into the back seat of the car. Jack slid into the driver seat and started the car while Reba got buckled. Once again she heard the tunes of her favorite station filter through the air in the car. He glanced at her through the rear view mirror and she started to hum along to the tune as the song that was currently on she did not know. He smiled as he heard her start to hum. He had her now and they were going to finally live happily ever after.
A few hours later found Reba singing along to every song she knew and trying not to make Jack angry. He pulled up to a rest area and parked the car. Reba stopped singing and looked to Jack.
"I have to use the bathroom. I will not be long. Be careful." he warned then he opened his door, grabbed the keys, then walked away but not before slamming and locking the door behind him.
Reba looked to the lock hoping she could open it herself but the latch went too far into the door and she couldn't get a good grip on it. As she let out a sigh of frustration and went to move back to the back seat of the car her hand slipped and landed on a small cold object. She grabbed it and smiled as she realized what it was. It was Jack's cell phone. She quickly opened it and dialed Brock's cell number. 'Why would he leave it in the car? Oh well must have slipped out of his pocket, or he wasn't expecting em to find it, he is crazy you know.' She waited as she heard it ringing. She looked to the door of the building praying she had enough time to talk to someone.
After what seemed like forever Brock finally answered.
'Hello?'
"Brock! It's so good to hear your voice! I don't have long; he is taking me up to Canada where he has a cabin in the woods. It has forest all around it and a Lake Superior behind it. He told me everything; he thinks I still love him and that when we get there we'll live happily forever! And the worse part... Brock, he's not afraid to hurt me." She whispered as if not wanting to admit it to herself yet "He acts like he's all about my safety, but he child locked the doors and the lock goes too far down, I can't get out!" Reba cried as she spilled the entire plan to Brock. She paused and waited for him to respond. "Brock?" she asked in a shaky voice. Praying it wasn't voice mail.
'I'm here, just hang on, please. I'll be there as soon as I can!' Brock said.
"He's coming back I have to go, please help me!" Reba begged then hung up the phone and put it back in its hiding place before Jack even noticed she had it.
She sat back and hugged herself as he got closer.
"OK now do you have to go?" Jack asked her.
"No." she said softly. He shrugged then climbed in and started the car. Reba looked out the window a small spark of hope in her that Brock will find her. But she could only pray that he would find her in one piece.
Brock looked up from his phone in shock, it had been hours since the police left and he had been trying to figure out where Jack might be taking her. Canada, had not been on the list. Brock called the police and told them the new info then they got started on trying to figure out where Jacks house was.
Brock had what he needed, he was headed up to Canada, and an Officer Frank would be calling him and telling more info. Brock packed up two suit cases one for him and one for Reba. He knew she did have another set o cloths and that she would want some of her own when he found her. He then loaded up his black truck and started to head to Canada. He had looked up on his GPS the most likely rout to Canada and prayed he'd catch them on the way.
Reba kept singing along to the radio but stopped when Jack started to talk again.
"...so when we get there, oh, I know you're gonna love it. I have a share on an island when we get there it'll be only you, me, and the house..." she only listens to try to pick out details she could tell Brock the next time she got a chance. She looked out the window and realized that it had gotten dark. She looked to the clock on the car radio to see the green numbers announce that it a half hour past midnight. Jack yawned, and then looked to her in the rear view mirror. "...guess we gotta stop at a hotel, huh?" he yawned again then noticed an exit with a motel right off from it along with a cluster of restaurants. He smiled and turned off the exit then into a hotel parking lot.
He unbuckled and turned around to face Reba. "Now I know you aren't quit ready to admit that you love me and are happy that I took the initiative to plan this," he spoke in a calm voice. "...but if you continue to play your little game then I'll be forced to make you stop." at the end of his sentence Reba could see in his eyes that he meant every word and her fear only increased. "Do you get it now, Reba?" Jack asked. Reba looked to him and nodded her head telling him she understood. And she understood perfectly well that this man was crazy and was not above beating or killing her to get what he wants. He smiled and it struck more fear in her then Van's winning smile. She felt a wave of cold run from her head to her feet and she knew this stay at the motel would not end well.
Brock had been driving for hours praying the he would catch them before they made it to Canada. But soon he noticed it was coming up to midnight so he started to look for a motel to stay in. He would be no use to Reba if he got into a crash due to him being deprived of sleep. An hour later Brock pulled off an exit to a hotel with a cluster of restaurants surrounding it. Brock sighed not wanting to stop his search but Officer Frank had insisted he take a break. As Brock pulled into the hotel he noticed the light rain had turned into a downpour. Brock didn't unpack his car be just locked it and went to get a room for the night. Making sure he had his wallet in his back pocket and his phone in his front he ran up to the front door. He turned as he heard what sounded like Reba cry his name. But he saw no one. 'I really need some sleep I'm hearing things' he said to himself as he walked through the sliding doors to the front desk.
Reba sat in the car with tears streaming down her face she was stuck and she knew that her chances of being found were growing slimmer by the minute. She looked up as another car pulled into the parking lot. For a second she thought it was Brock's truck but she knew she must be seeing things. A steady rain had settled in the area as she had been sitting in the car. She watched the truck carefully as it parked three spots down. Then the driver stepped out of his car and Reba's heart soared as she saw Brock walking to the hotel. She started to slam on the door and the window hoping to get his attention.
"BROCK! HELP! Brock! Brock! Brock! Brock! Brock! Brock!" she cried. But her please were lost in the rain and the barrier of the car. She crumpled into hysterical sobs as the only man that could save her disappeared into the building. She was doomed and her chance of being found just slipped right through her fingers. A minute later Jack came out and grabbed their bags. He was soaked from the rain he had a bag for him but he also had another change of cloths for Reba. He opened the door to find Reba sobbing. He put the backpack with the cloths in it over his shoulders then grabbed the hysterical woman by her upper arm.
"No no no! Brock!" Reba sobbed as she was jerked into a standing position. The door to the car was still open and the rain soaked her causing her hair to cling to her face and neck as she tried to fight Jack off and started to get louder hoping someone would hear.
"Shut up!" Jack bellowed and slapped her across the face. "I told you to stop playing around!" he said as he slapped her again. Reba was dizzy from the hits and the crying. She felt herself falling along with her tears but Jack caught her and slammed the car door behind her then not so gently pulled her into the building. All the while Reba prayed that Brock will figure it out and find her.
Brock had just found his room. 213. And was about to step inside when he glanced to his left and thought he caught a glimpse of Jack shoving a sobbing Reba into the room next to his. He blinked and they were gone without a trace. He just placed it as another way his mind was playing tricks on him. He walked into his room and did his best to get some rest.
Reba was being pulled along by Jack and she saw faces of people. They did not move to help her; they just stared as if in pity that she had fallen into the trap of this crazy man. She cried harder and when they got to the room she saw Brock opening the door to the room next to theirs. She turned to fight Jack but he already had the door open and he shoved her inside. A moment later she heard the door to Brock's room close and she knew he hadn't noticed. How could he not notice! She was not ten feet away! She fell to the floor by the door of the hotel room and curled into a ball as tight as she could and she let the sobs rack through her body. Jack watched her cry her heart out on the floor all he could do was smile. He was one step closer to breaking her, then she'd be his forever, he'd be able to do anything he wanted to her and she would believe he was only out to help her. 'But I will never hurt her, once I make her realize that this is what we've always wanted she'll love me forever' were just some of the thoughts running in his head. 'Tonight is the first of many' with the smile still on his face he knelt down and gently placed a hand on Reba's arm.
