Chapter 7
Jude had no idea where he was, was she just gonna leave and not try to find him? If she were in trouble he would be at her side even if they were fighting, she thought to herself. She couldn't help herself. She had to make sure he was ok before she left.
Jude's pov: I have to call Darius. I have to find him and at least make sure he's ok.
Jude on the phone talking faster than the human mouth could possibly move: Darius I need to ask you…
Darius cutting her off: Jude where are you?
Jude: "That doesn't matter right now; I just need to ask you something. And please be honest. I'm worried," speeding up her words in hopes of hiding her noticably on the verge of tears voice.
Darius: Jude calm down, I'll try to help.
Jude not beating around the bush at all: If Tommy were to disappear where would he go?
Darius: Jude I can't tell...
Jude not allowing him to finish his thought: Darius! he called me. He's in trouble, please! I need to find him. She said frantically.
Darius hesitantly told her: The only place I can think of is an area outside of Toronto, about halfway between Toronto and Ottawa. I can't tell you why, but if he's anywhere that's where he'll be.
Darius gave her directions to the church, but was unwilling to tell her what it was she should be looking for incase he wasn't there, after all it wasn't just Tommy's secret he was protecting. Jude was a little more than halfway to Ottawa to leave, but she turned around driving over about four lanes to make her way back. She wasn't far; they both had to take the same road she just had to find the right dirt road turn off. She had been driving for about 10 minutes when she saw the turn off Darius had mentioned, it should have been more like 20 minutes, but not at her speed. The road was so narrow and hidden by the massive bush trees you wouldn't even see it unless you were specifically looking for it. She drove for another 20 minutes making a number of different turns and carefully guiding around the sharp turns on the narrow road losing control a few times. Her car had trouble finding road to hold onto because of the loose dirt. She hoped she was on the right road, she hadn't seen any signs of civilization since she turned onto it. She prayed no one else was coming down the road as it was only barely fit for one car and her car was just as wide as the road. She slowed down looking for any place Tommy might be and the road became more narrow with big drop offs on both sides and no guard rail, causing her to swerve back and forth to stay on the road. She finally saw a church, but no sign of Tommy. She slowly turned around and headed back thinking she had missed something. Suddenly she noticed the clouds of smoke in the distance. The drop off was so far down she's lucky she saw them at all. Her heart dropped, she just knew it was Tommy. She stopped and looked down the huge drop off and saw the viper in flames. It must have rolled more than a few times because it looked as though someone had crumpled a piece of paper and started it on fire. It was upside down and so crushed she didn't know how anyone could have survived.
