Moment Eleven: Breathe
Set: The initial reaction to Jared telling John that Natalie has been kidnapped (Tess has her locked up). I was very unhappy with what was show on today's episode ( 9/17/08) and there will be two more drabbles to help fix what TIIC decided to write.
Natalie. Kidnapped. The words ring hallow in John's ears, as he tries not to hear them, tries to pretend its fine.
Jared is worried, concern evident and John wants to hit him, see blood trickle from his face. He's not good enough for Natalie- no one is.
For a moment John can't move, his face- stone cold, none of the inner panic seeping out.
Not again. Not her.
And he thinks this must be karma come to collect. God doesn't punish him, only those he loves.
And he loves her.
Natalie. Kidnapped.
And John has to remind himself to breathe.
