Chapter 29
"Patrick, hey wake up. We found them." Jason shook Patrick on his way to the door.
Patrick jumped off the couch. "Where is she?"
"About 2 hours south of here. It's a warehouse out in the middle of nowhere. Spinelli is calling Sonny to get some men out there." Walking to the elevator Jason decided to level with Patrick. "Patrick, we aren't going to call Mac until we are almost there. This bastard doesn't deserve to go to trial, to get a chance to try get out of the charges. But I don't want you to get your hands dirty. I know you will, for Robin, so I am going to show you my gun and tell you not to call the police."
Patrick just nodded his head. He didn't have the strength to argue and, quite frankly, he didn't care. All that mattered was saving Robin, to hell with anything else.
The car ride was silent for the first 20 minutes until Jason finally broke the silence. "She loves you more than she ever loved me you know."
Patrick was shocked at the admission. "What makes you say that?"
"It's the way she looks at you. She never looked at me like that." Jason smiled at Patrick. "Sam looks at me that way but Robin never did."
"She's the only woman I have ever loved. I cannot lose her Jason, I don't think I could survive it."
"I know, which is why we are going to make sure you don't lose her. You two have been through too much to give up now." Jason looked at Patrick. "Patrick, I promise you that by tonight you will be holding Robin in your arms."
Pete looked around the room. He had it all set up for the wedding. He had drugged Robin again so she wouldn't hear all the set up he was doing. The candles were everywhere and he would light them right before the ceremony. He had thought of everything, he hoped.
These past 5 days have been the best of his life. Robin was everything he had hoped. She was brilliant and he enjoyed talking to her about the books after she got done reading them. She had a viewpoint that both countered and complemented his thoughts. She was a challenge and a thrill. She had shown him so much in such a short time.
Her calling for Patrick when she was waking up had brought him a moment of clarity. Her heart still belonged to the unworthy Dr. Drake. The man didn't understand how truly special Robin was and she deserved much better. She deserved to be treated like a queen and worshipped. Pete was willing to do that for her but she didn't want him.
As much as he loved Robin, he realized she would never be completely his-at least not in this lifetime.
Looking around the room he smiled at what he had accomplished. "Til death do us part Robin."
