Good afternoon :) Hope you're all having a fantastic day because I am! Just to clear up some confusion, I'm not stopping this story until it's finished, so don't worry the drama filled lives of Liz and Ginger will continue, I'm just simply starting something new (I write in advance)...Thanks for the reviews and keep them coming...Read, review and enjoy :)
Ginger arrived at O'Hare airport and casually walked up to the ticket counter purchasing a one way ticket to Miami. The flight wasn't scheduled to leave for a few hours, so she perused the airport keeping her eyes open for any sign of Wade. After walking around for a half hour, she bought a coffee and took a seat before once again settling into her nonchalant people watching. She never noticed Wade until she heard him whisper in her ear.
"Well hello love, it's been a while. What do you say we have a chat?" Ginger wanted to scream or do something to draw attention to herself, but Wade gripped her arm and pulled her out of her seat before wrapping his arm around her and guiding her out of the airport and into a waiting car.
Punk had just hung up the phone with Liz and he thought about what she had said about Ginger. He hadn't seen her in almost a half hour and got up from the couch assuming she was relaxing in Colt's room. When he reached Colt's bedroom, the door was open and Ginger was nowhere in site. Before heading into the office, he noticed the door to the master bathroom was closed and went over to it knocking gently.
"Ging, are you alright? I just talked to Liz, she's with Dwayne. You could have let me in on those details, but it's okay. As long as you're both safe it's fine." He listened for a response and was surprised at the silence he got, "Ginger, I don't find this funny at all!"
He jiggled the door knob only to find it was locked and then shook his head already guessing what had happened. Punk backed up a few steps before he raised his foot and kicked in the door to find the bathroom empty.
"God damnit Ginger!" Looking up Punk noticed the open window that she had escaped from and let out a sigh as he started yelling for Colt. Just when he thought things were going to work out and both girls would be safe, one of them had to be her daredevil self and take matters into her own hands.
Wade was quiet once he got Ginger in the car and she wasn't sure what to think or do. If she tried something rash to defend herself, it could back fire horribly. She knew Wade had a gun permit and he was known to have it at all times despite traveling through airports. While thinking up a plan, she realized they were headed towards Liz's house. Sure enough, the car winded up the driveway and stopped in front of the vacant house. Wade grabbed a hold of Ginger's arm and pulled her from the car. He dug through his pocket before pulling out a key, the one that Ginger assumed had gone missing from the door mat, and let himself in. Ginger tried not to wince as he gripped her arm tighter slamming her into a chair. Wade reached into the bag he had grabbed from the car and pulled out a long piece of rope that he used to tie Ginger to the chair. Once he was satisfied that she wasn't able to move, he backed away from her and stared into her blue eyes before hitting her hard with the back of his hand. Despite the burning she felt on the left side of her face, she made it a point to hold in her emotion knowing crying would just make everything worse. After studying her reaction, he kneeled down so that he was eye level with her.
"Ginger, I've missed you. I don't understand why you wanted to leave me, were things really that bad off?" Ginger remained quiet as her eyes wandered away from hers, which resulted in Wade grabbing her face and shifting her focus back to him, "You're going to tell me why you did what you did. I loved you so much and you ran away taking my only child with you. How is Wade Jr.? I have big plans for him and I once I'm finished with you and Elizabeth. Speaking of Liz, I think we should give her a call." Wade stood up again and grabbed his phone out of his pocket dialing Liz's number.
Liz had just got to her hotel in Boston and Dwayne gave her the key to the adjoining room. Collapsing on the bed, Liz felt exhausted. She got comfortable and started to drift off when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Remembering she was supposed to call Punk when she landed in Boston, she figured it was him, but saw it was an unknown number instead. Usually she ignored such numbers, but something told her to answer this one.
"Hello, can I ask who is calling?"
"Hello Elizabeth! I heard you managed to escape Henry thanks to Dwayne. It's a shame because now you're not here for the party." Liz sat up trying not to panic as she listened to the thick British accent that came through the phone. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath before responding.
"Wade what do you want with me?"
"You're really asking me that? I know you lied to me about everything."
"Wade I don't know what you're talking about. I know it's hard to accept, but Ginger is gone."
"Ginger's gone, really? Well that's funny because there's a woman who looks just like her sitting in your living room. Are you ready to stop lying?" Liz tried not to panic, but knowing that Wade had Ginger set her into overdrive.
"Wade please don't hurt her. What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to come join us and accept the punishment you deserve. Make sure you come alone, or it'll be a long and painful death for both of you."
"I'm in Boston, so you're going to have to give me some time."
"Fine, you've got until midnight to get to your place. The clock is ticking Elizabeth, better get moving." Wade hung up the phone and Liz felt her eyes flood with tears that she refused to let fall. It was up to her to end this and get Wade out of their lives forever. Liz left the room choosing to take the stairs. After hailing a cab, she headed right back to the airport.
Punk paced back and forth as he tried to call Liz again. He hadn't heard from her that she'd landed in Boston and there was no reason for her not to be there by now. On top of that, Ginger was missing. He had sent Colt out to look for her and he stayed behind hoping she'd come back, even though he knew there was little chance of that. Punk glanced at his phone and saw that it was 11:30. He felt exhausted both mentally and physically, but knew there was no way to solve either problem. Colt interrupted his pacing as he slammed the front door shut.
"Hey you haven't gone down to your place today have you?"
"No, I took the cab here from the airport, why?"
"I noticed on my way back up that there are a couple lights on and just last night it was dark." Before Punk could question anything, his phone rang and he saw Liz was calling.
"Liz, are you okay? I'm sorry if I'm overreacting right now, but I expected you to call a while ago and something happened."
"Punk, just stop right there and listen. I'm in Chicago on the way to our place. Wade is there and he's got Ginger. He called me and told me to come alone, but I figured you and Colt could figure out a way to get in without him realizing it."
"That explains the lights being on. Listen to me, don't go into the house alone."
"Punk it's too late, I have to go. I'll be okay, I love you." Liz hung up the phone before Punk could say anything. Feeling all of his emotions crash together and boil over, Punk threw his phone.
"Woah, calm down Punkers, what was that all about?"
"Liz is in Chicago and she's going into the house alone. Wade has Ginger inside, and we need to figure out a way to sneak in."
