Phil pulled up the driveway of Jesse Neal's place he put the car on park as he turned off the car. He turned his attention to Ace who is asleep on the passenger seat. Phil just smirked as he opened the drive side door he went out he then walked over to the passenger door he grabbed the door handle he opened the door he leaned over as he unbuckled the safety belt he picked Ace up. Ace put his head on Phil shoulder as he moved slightly. Phil closed the door as he walked on the sidewalk he walked up to the stairs he walked over to the glass door he knocked on it he waits for Jesse to answer the door he looked around making sure he wasn't followed now that nearly everyone is out to get him he got to watch his step and back. Moments later he heard the door open he looked and saw standing at the doorway is Jesse Neal he opened the glass door as he look at Phil.
"Phil what brings you here?" Jesse asked.
"I just wanted to know if you can watch over Ace for me. It seems like everyone and their own Mother wants me dead and not to mention Valerie went with Sarah and Thea who I assumed work for Hernandez. And I just don't want Ace to get hurt as I go looking for Valerie." Phil asked.
"Sure that's not a problem I can watch over him but I have a question why Hernandez?" Jesse asked.
"Because Jeff want someone to do his dirty work I don't got any time left I need to find her quick." Phil asked.
Phil handed Ace over to Jesse. Ace was startled he rubbed his eyes as he looked at Phil with that look on his face like he don't know what is going on.
"Uncle Phil where are you going?" Ace asked in a tired voice.
"I'm going to look for your Mother and bring her home safely you be good for Jesse ok?" Phil asked.
Ace nodded his head as he put his head on Jesse shoulder and falling back to sleep. Phil don't want to do this but it's for the best and in case something bad happens to him he don't want Ace to see it. Phil look at Jesse.
"Thanks for the help." Phil said.
"It's no problem just bring Valerie home safe and sound." Jesse said.
Phil nod his head as he turned around he walked down the stairs he walked back to his car he went in the car he closed the door as he turned on the car he put the car on reverse as he backed out he then put it on drive as he drove off hoping he would find Valerie in time.
Valerie is sitting in the backseat of Sarah rental car Thea is sitting on the passenger seat and of course the one doing the driving is none other than Sarah. Valerie looked out the window just seeing different things it's good to go out and do stuff. Sarah pulled up to the Motel Valerie look and noticed that she know something isn't right she remember this Motel this is the one where they was hiding from Jeff at. She look around as she felt her heart beating really fast.
"What are we doing here?" Valerie asked.
"Just meeting a friend you got nothing to worry about." Sarah said reassuring her.
Valerie still have a bad feeling about this as Sarah parked in the empty parking space she turned off the car as they went out. They walked over to Motel room number four they stopped as Sarah knocked on the door they waited for someone to answer it. Moments later the door is heard opening and standing at the doorway is Hernandez he has a big smile on his face as he look at them.
"Good job ladies you brought her." Hernandez said.
Valerie is confused about this she know this is bad she look around knowing she has a best chance of escaping before something bad happens. She did what her gut feeling told her to do she ran getting away from them Hernandez saw this.
"She's getting away." Hernandez said.
They chased after Valerie who by now is far from them. Valerie looked around trying to find a good place to hide she try opening some doors but they are locked she noticed the office not too far she ran to it as she opened the door she went in she ducked behind the desk making sure that Hernandez and the rest don't find her. She is breathing heavily she reached in her pants pocket she took out her cell phone she dialed Phil's number as she put the phone near her ear as she heard it ring.
"Come on answer Phil." Valerie said as she is still breathing heavily.
She heard someone picking up on the other line.
"Valerie?" Phil asked on the other line.
"Phil please come and get me I'm at the Days Inn Motel and come quick Hernandez, Sarah and Thea are after me." Valerie said in a fear tone.
"Just stay where you are at and don't let no one see you I'll come and get you as quick as I can." Phil said.
Valerie hanged up the phone as she put the phone in her pants pocket. She want to cry cause she is really afraid she don't want nothing bad happen to her so she hope that Phil does come as soon as he can. Valerie look over and see no one is coming so far she let out a sigh of relieve she got up as she look around at the desk she find a knife that is used to open envelopes she picked it up as she ducked back down she closed her eyes as she slowly crawled behind the desk. She heard the door open she hold her breath.
"Valerie...come out come out wherever you are." Hernandez said.
Valerie is trying her best not to make a sound so they can leave. Hernandez looked around he don't see Valerie in here so he nudge Thea and Sarah as if to tell them nothing is here they left the office. Valerie let out a sigh of relieve she look out the window she saw Phil pulling up she smiled she slowly got up she walked over to the entrance she went out as she walked over to Phil car she is just happy nothing happened yet. She almost got to the car when she heard a noise sound like someone is opening a switchblade she froze then she felt the tip of the knife on her back.
"Going somewhere?" Hernandez said.
Phil who was in the car saw this and know that Valerie doesn't got a chance especially since Hernandez would most likely kill her. He turned the car off as he got out he walked to them Hernandez see this he moved the knife to Valerie's throat Phil stopped as he look at him.
"I know Jeff sent you to kill me but don't you think it won't make a difference if you kill her?" Phil asked.
"You honestly think I work for Jeff? I work for one person and one person only myself see I only do stuff for Jeff because of how much he pays me other than that I don't care about him." Hernandez said.
Valerie remember that she still have that envelope opener knife in her hand she did what she felt is right she stabbed Hernandez on the thigh. Hernandez yelled in pain as he removed the knife from Valerie's throat she was going to make a run for it but Sarah is not going to let that happen she went after Valerie she grabbed Valerie by her hair and she slam her down on the ground. Valerie fell to the ground holding on to the back of her head. Hernandez slowly got up as he winced he just smirked as he saw Valerie on the ground.
"You think this was going to be easy?" Hernandez asked.
Hernandez circled Valerie around like a vulture does to it's pray. Valerie slowly got up as she got on her hands and knees Hernandez see this and decide to kick her in the ribs. Valerie fell back to the ground as she coughed Phil saw this and got pissed off he tackled Hernandez as he start fighting him they are throwing punches at one another. Valerie slowly got up as she is holding on to her ribs she look and saw that Phil and Hernandez is fighting she has a bad feeling this won't go well. Hernandez threw Phil to the ground as he start to kick him Phil is trying his best to protect himself by blocking every kick Valerie was about to go over and stop Hernandez but Thea and Sarah blocked her way.
"STOP IT!" Valerie shouted.
Hernandez didn't listen he continue to kick at Phil then he kicked Phil in the head as hard as he could. Phil stopped moving and Valerie saw this tears begin to form around her eyes she can't believe what she just witness.
"Phil get up please you got to get up." Valerie said.
Hernandez just smirked he like what he did he turn his attention to Valerie still have that smirk spread across his face. He dust his hands off as if he got the job done or so he thinks he walked over to Valerie he stopped as he look at her.
"You see that? Your Brother is nothing more than a punching bag. Now come on you are coming with us." Hernandez said.
Hernandez grabbed Valerie's arm tightly she winced as they walked away she look over her shoulder to see Phil still laying on the ground as tears trickle down her face.
"PHIL GET UP!" Valerie shouted hoping that Phil can hear her.
"Shut up you caused enough trouble today." Hernandez said.
They walked over to Sarah rental car as he opened the backseat he threw Valerie in the backseat he told her to scoot over so he can sit in the backseat with her. Thea and Sarah got in the car as Sarah turned on the car and she pulled out they drove away. Tears are flowing from Valerie's eyes Hernandez look and saw the tears.
"What the hell are you crying for?" Hernandez said.
"Go to hell all three of you." Valerie said.
"Feisty I like that looks like I will have some fun with you." Hernandez said as he laughed.
Valerie feels sick to her stomach she hope that some how and some way that Phil wakes up and continues to find her or else she is screwed and she don't want to wind up dead in a ditch or something. Fear is rising in her she hope to find a way out or it's goodbye freedom for her.
