Chapter Twelve
Jessica POV
Okay, that was one of the worst spy films I ever seen. Nobody will ever be a James Bond, but sheesh they can atleast make it decent. "Last time I ever go see a movie where the star is famous for taking his shert off," I said.
He walked next to me and a grin cracked across his face. "Yeah well next time, I pick out the movie," he said. He walked over to the trash can throwing away the popcorn bucket we shared, " but you did have a good time right?"
I took a sip of what was left of my drink, "maybe if the movie was better, I probably would actually enjoy it." I threw the cup away and turned toward the bathroom, "anyways I need to go really quickly."
He nodded and pointed outside the theater, "I'll wait for you out there."
I turned around and headed inside the bathroom. I checked myself in the mirror after washing my hands.
Thats when Tina Walters walked in with a grin on her face. She leaned back against the sink, and crossed her arms. By looking at her, and knowing she is the gossip girl of the school, I knew she was up to know good. "So, whats the deal with you and Mr. Solomon?" She turned around to check herself in the mirror, "I mean are you guys having an affair?"
I nearly fainted. I mean I know nobody in the school knows why I'm really there, but where does she get the idea that I could be having an affair with him. I mean I didn't know whether to be schocked and embarrassed, or to start laughing hystracally into the sink.
"Well, you guys are always sneaking around," she said adding lipgloss. "Don't act like I haven't seen him follow you out a room, or waited for you in the hall. I mean what was the real reason he kept you in his classroom all those times."
I rolled my eyes and looked her straight in the eyes. Well I'm not telling her the truth, but atleast some of it wouldn't hurt. "First of all there is nothing going on between us, second my life doesn't concern you."
Tina gave me back the same intensity, "listen new girl, you go to Gallagher your business is mine. Nobody hides anything from Tina Walters." Tina closed her lipgloss, zipped her purse and walked to the door. "I will find out the truth."
Great I'm being threatned by a gossip girl, big deal, I've seen things scarier then that. I'm not worried, if he hasn't found the truth, then a junior whose biggest worry is who is dating who, isn't. I was about to walk out when another blonde girl walked in, and no it wasn't Liz. It was Grace, one of my so called friends from the past.
"Oh hello isn't it nice to see you here?" she asked in the sweet southern voice with that fake smile.
I crossed my arms, "You can quit the act Grace no one is here."
The girly smile dropped quickly, now I knew I was in for a threat. "Good now we can get to the point on why I'm here," she said as if I didn't know. "We came to take you back, and this time we're not giving you a choice." Grace walked closer to me, and I could see why she was recruted. She may have that American girl look, but deep in those blue eyes I saw no mercy. "The boss is tired of having a little mess up walking around carrying information that could be spilled to former CIA agents."
"So why not just have me killed?" I asked. "Atleast then he wouldn't have a mess up walking around."
Grace cocked a smile, "that was Plan A, but then we heard where you were headed." She started circling me, "then we found out who your father was."
Okay if my heart wasn't beating fast it was now at the mention of my dad. "He has nothing to do with this, leave him out of it."
"No see you're wrong, he has a lot to do with the Circle." When she saw the confusion on my face she explained everything. "Your father was a trained assaisen for the Circle, he abandoned and turned on us just twelve years ago, he was recruted at just about your age." She checked her nails, "father like daughter I guess." Grace leaned into the wall, I could see she felt proud. "Now we're here to bring you in, hoping that your father will make an exchangment."
I licked my lips at the realization. "My life for information about the CIA."
She started ticking things off her finger, "and Gallagher blueprints, and his allegiance to the Cirlce."
Now as much as the news was shocking, and I may not know him that well, but I knew he wouldn't do all those things for my life. I shook my head, "he won't do it."
"Maybe not just for anybody, but for his daughter... well after today I'm sure he would do anything to keep his precious daughter alive." Grace got off the wall, pulling out plastic cuffs. "Now we could do this the easy way or the hard way."
I sighed, and put my wrist out. Grace looked surprised I was giving up so easly. But when she started to slip them off, I grabbed her wrists and flipped her onto the floor. While she seemed to shocked to relize what happened I kicked her in the torso and ran out of the bathroom. Thats when I saw Justin and his friends across the room. Damn I really am surrounded. I looked outside, he was only a few feet away. Thank God I was wearing converses, I ran out the door and passed him.
He followed after, about a few feet away he stopped me. "Jessica, what happened?" he held me at arms lenght.
I looked back, I knew Justin, Grace, and whoever they brought wouldn't be far. I knew they weren't going to stop till they had me. I looked back at him, Grace said it was him they wanted. They were just using me. I pushed him away and he looked shock and confused. I thought about the movie, and how the kid was adopted to be kept safe, and how he lived in a life of lives. "Why did you really leave my mom?" I asked, "was it to protect her?"
"Your mom left me, I told you that." He said looking confused, "I had nothing to protect her from."
"You're lying, thats what you do." I had to get him to hate me, so he won't follow me. "I hate you, this whole day was nothing but a joke, I'm so tired of being near you." I hate myself for hurting him like this, but I had no choice. "Just do me a favor and stay out of my life."
He took a step back, he looked more destroyed then he could possibly ever be. "That was the thing your mom ever said to me before she left."
I'm sorry, I wanted to say that, but I couldn't. I had to run, and hope he doesn't care about me enough that he'll come after me. I ran down an ally and stopped, I ran a mile from where I was. A van pulled up infront of me. Grace walked out, Justin in towe. I was so tired from the run, I couldn't even defend myself from the punch Grace gave me in the face. I fell down, I felt to tired and weak from everything.
Justin cupped his hand over my mouth, "you scream, we'll hurt you more." I froze when I saw a gun in its holister. He smirked, putting a blindfold on me. I felt the plastic cuffs on around my wrist. He stood me up and had me face the wall. "Search her for comms and stuff." I felt Grace patt me down, and gave the okay that I was clean. Justin turned me around, and slapped me hard. "Thats for making it the hard way."
Joe POV
I can't believe she said that, I can't believe she ran. I was walking around everywhere trying to rinf her. Roseville was a small town, but it was a big place to find someone. I'm so confused, we were having a good time, what could've happened that she got so angrey.
I sat down on a bench not knowing what to do. She could be anywhere.
"Awe whats wrong Solomon, missing your a daughter?" I looked up and saw Anne Goode standing there. I got up getting ready to defend myself. "Relax, I'm not here to fight."
"Then why are you here?"
A slick smile that I knew so well that it meant nothing good. "Your daughter has been taken into the circle custody," she said. "She will be fine for now, but if you don't come to this address she won't be." She handed me a card. "I told you twelve years ago if you ran we will find the most precious thing to you to bring you back." she started to back away, "don't show up no later then twleve, or early tommorow."
I stood there distraught. I thought this fight was over, but I guess it never ended. I started walking back to Gallagher, I had to wait till tommorw to see is was safe. I pray that she'll make it out alive.
