Secrets are revealed in this chapter! Hope you enjoy it!
Kim was trembling in the corner of the room where she and Jack are being held. Jack looked over at Kim. She was trying to hide from herself. Or Jerry.
"Kim, what's wrong?"
"Oh, you know perfectly well 'what's wrong,' Jack!"
"Kim, You shouldn't be this scared of him."
"Why Jack? Why shouldn't I be scared?"
"Listen," Jack whispered, "I sent for the Black Dragons. They will bring help."
"Why? How?"
"Jerry was the main reason why they didn't like us. So all I had to do was call…"
Kim cut him off, "How did you know they were going to help you?"
"Ty owes me a debt. I think he will help."
Kim tried asking more but Jack expertly dodged each question until Kim gave up. It was almost night and one of Jerry's friends came and gave a blanket to them and left. It would get very cold, so Jack offered the blanket to Kim, but she refused. Finally the decided they would sleep together, I mean its not like they haven't done that before or anything. Kim looked at Jack, because when she was in his arms, she was safe. Except maybe every other time she was safe because at that moment Jerry burst in and said, "How cute."
"Jerry if you didn't want me and Kim to share a blanket, you could have given us two."
"Kim. Come with me."
Kim tried to hide behind Jack, just as she saw Frank. FRANK! The Black Dragons had come after all. Jack whispered in Kim's ear, "Just do it. Frank will tail you. Find out whatever info you can."
Kim nodded and slowly stood up. Jerry laughed and took her by the hand. Kim purposefully made lots of noise, in case Frank made a noise. If he did then Kim wouldn't have someone to tell everyone where she was.
"Kim, Jack has lots of secrets and things I want..."
"Like me?" Kim interrupted.
"No. Well not at first. I wanted you because you would; well you were pretty and popular. Was I? Not yet. I wanted you to bring me to a whole new league. But then you took Jack. So then I realized it might be for the better. The Brewer family had dishonored mine some years ago. We were told that if we could dishonor them then…"
Kim broke in again, "So basically you are pretending to be a knight."
"NO!" Jerry calmed down, "Kim. I could burn his Black Belt or baby blanket, but that would be something he could get over. I tried to scare you out of your house..."
"So you were the one who made those noises!"
"Yes, and no. I had a noise bouncer that I could use, all I had to do was make a noise and it would travel to where you were."
"But how did you know where I was?"
"I helped Jack pick out that necklace you are wearing. I just implanted a chip on the back."
"But why Jerry?"
"Hold on, I'm getting to that. See, once I scared you out of the house, all I had to do is capture you and torture you until Jack gives me back the Martinez Mintez."
"What is a Mintez?"
"It is the heirloom for prestigious families who had nothing better to do other than mine. They would mine for Mintez is a mineral, you see. And it is very rare. Some of the women make Mintez into necklaces.
"Mint with a Z!" Kim cried. She remembered that when Jack gave Kim the necklace, he also offered her, 'Mint with a Z'!
"What?"
"Nothing."
They walked the rest of the way in silence, Kim prayed that Frank wouldn't give him self away. They walked until they reached they reached a room. Inside were all kinds of medieval torture devices.
"No! Where is my hammer" He strapped Kim in and ran off in search of his hammer.
Kim saw Ty peak around the corner before running to Kim and unstrapping her. She took off her necklace but not before she tried to pry what she thought was a fake diamond but was really Mintez.
"Kim, we don't have much time!"
"Ty wait, there is a tracker in this necklace!"
She had finally pried the Mintez from her necklace and put it on the table where she had lay just moments ago. Kim and Ty raced from the chamber and right into one of Jerry's friend's arms.
