Staying in between us

Chapter 29: Prisoner

Previously on Staying in between us...

"Hey, Look up at me" Jack told her.

Elizabeth lifting her eyes from her wound to Jack's eyes.

"It's going to be okay" Jack said to her.

"Jack you have to go help Cody. He is still out there" Elizabeth told him still looking into his eyes.

"I won't leave you" Jack told her hurt in his eyes.

Elizabeth leaning in and kissing him. Once they departed Elizabeth knew his answer.

Jack then picked up Elizabeth and put her in the closet. And knocked the code on the small door.

"Now go" Elizabeth said in pain.

To be continued...

{Below the Cafe}

"What is that noise?" Faith said quieting everyone.

"Someone is knocking on the door" Carson said to them.

"It's Jack" Bill said heading to the door up the stairs.

"Wait how do you know?" Faith asked Bill.

"It's a code" Bill told them.

Bill opened the little door seeing Elizabeth laying there in pain.

"Elizabeth what happened?" Bill asked her.

"Nothing really" Elizabeth said in pain holding her leg.

"Carson quick come help me" Bill called down for him.

Carson rushed to where he was to help with Elizabeth.

Carson picked up Elizabeth while Bill kept the door open. Carson brought Elizabeth down the stairs to the others.

"I am going to see if Jack needs help" Bill said down to them.

"No, don't Bill! There is still someone up there. Jack knows what to do" Elizabeth said grabbing her leg in pain.

"Elizabeth are you okay?" Abigail came rushing to her side.

"Oh my goodness" Rosemary came rushing next to Abigail.

"He might need help, Elizabeth" Bill said about to go out.

"Bill please! You might make things worse" Elizabeth said holding onto her leg.

"There is another way" George spoke up from across the room by the tunnels.

"I'll go with you" Abigail spoke up.

"No, Abigail. You need to stay here where it's stay" Bill spoke up and shut the small door quietly.

"Cody is out there, Bill. I can't just wait around here knowing he might be in harms way" Abigail told him worried.

Bill came to Abigail side and put her aside to talk with her.

"Jack will take care of him. The best thing you can do for Cody is to stay safe yourself" Bill told him.

"Bill please" Abigail said pain in her eyes of the thought of losing Cody.

"I won't let anyone else get hurt. Elizabeth is hurt because of me" Bill said bothered by his decisions in the past.

"That wasn't your fault" Abigail told him.

"Yes, it was. I told Jack I would watch over her" Bill said looking to the ground.

Before Abigail could reply George interrupted them.

"I'll show you the way" George told him stepping forward.

"Stay here and watch Elizabeth and the rest of them" Bill told Abigail.

"Okay" Abigail finally agreeing.

"We go" Bill told George.

{Above the Cafe}

Jack was looking out the door to try and spot Cody across the road.

Cody was under the outside of the jailhouse looking for Rip the dog. He was crawling on his hands and knees. He couldn't spot Rip anywhere but he found something else that could be valuable.

Cody motioned for Jack from across the road.

Jack seen him and motioned for Cody to come back.

Cody shook his head and insisted that Jack come to him. Mouthing that it is very important.

Jack finally gives in and signals to Cody that he is on his way. Jack walks to the front of the Cafe totally forgetting about the man he knocked out not that long ago. Jack opens the door and makes sure no one is looking. He was about to leave when he heard voices from coming around the Cafe towards him. So he shuts the door and hides behind the Cafe door.

"Where did Jake go?" A voice coming from outside.

"I thought he went to lock up the prisoner" another voice said walking beside the first man.

"Let's go check on him" they said as they both walked off towards the jailhouse.

Jack then sneaks up and peeks out of the window of the door. Looking to see where they were going. Seeing that they were walking into the jailhouse, Jack stood up.

"They have a prisoner?" Jack thought to himself. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the man inside the Cafe coming to. Jack then moved outside and quietly made his way to where Cody was.

He crawled under the building to where Cody was.

"What is so important?" Jack whispered to Cody.

"They didn't just come here to take people" Cody told Jack.

"Wait how did you know that?" Jack not knowing that Cody knew more then he thought.

"Not important right now. See those people over there?" Cody pointed to their camp at two people.

"Yeah. What about them?" Jack answered him.

"Those two are the leaders. Captains of all of them..." Cody started to tell Jack but he interrupted.

"Okay so what does that mean?" Jack confused on why this matters.

"They are the ones giving the orders. Which is very important to know who is in charge. Well that's what you have told me. before. And what I've heard so far is that their plan is way more important then we all thought. They have a bigger plan" Cody explained to Jack while they were still spying on the camp.

"What is their plan?" Jack asked him.

"That's the problem. I haven't gotten all the information to know the whole plan" Cody said a little disappointed.

"What is some of the plan you heard?" Jack not knowing what to think about this whole thing.

"They are looking for someone. That's why they didn't kill the prisoner yet. To get information from him on the person who they are looking for" Cody kept explaining to Jack.

"Who are they looking for?" Jack asked wondering himself.

{Under the Cafe}

"Let's get her to the table over there" Carson said as he carried Elizabeth to the table.

"I'll put some sheets up for privacy" Abigail told them.

"I'll help you" Rosemary spoke up.

"Hang in there Elizabeth you will be alright" Faith reassured her.

Elizabeth gave her a weak smile.

Once Abigail and Rosemary got the sheets up they went back to the long bench in the opposite corner.

"Okay they are done" Faith informed Carson who was washing his hands.

Carson was getting all the instruments ready for surgery. Lining them up side by side to where Faith could hang them to him. He knew this wasn't the hardest surgery he has done but it was still important to prepare for the uncertainty. In his line of business not all things happen as doctors think it will.

"It's time to put her to sleep" Carson walked over to Faith and told her.

Faith nodded.

"Is something wrong?" Carson gently grabbed Faith by the arm before she walked to Elizabeth. Sensing that Faith didn't seem normal.

"No...don't worry about it" Faith said looking into his eyes. Herself feeling worried and troubled.

"You sure?" Carson knowing that wasn't true but didn't want to pressure her.

"Yeah let's get this done with" Faith said as she walked over to Elizabeth.

"Now Elizabeth we are going to put you asleep so we can take that bullet out of your leg" Faith said standing on the side of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth nodded her head to indicate her understanding of what was happening.

"One...two... three..." Faith started counting once she put the cloth over Elizabeth's mouth.

"Okay done" Faith turned and told Carson.

"You ready?" Carson asked Faith looking into her eyes.

"If you are" Faith said grabbing his hand.

"Let's begin" Carson said squeezing her hand.

{In the tunnels}

"So how did you get out of the jail cell?" Bill asked him while they were walking.

"This man named Ned Yost got me out" George answered him while he was looking forward. Lifting up a Lantern to his face so he could see.

"Oh Ned. Why would he do that?" Bill asked him confused.

"That Mountie. Jack is it? Well he got him to get me out and hide under ground with Ned" George explained to Bill while walking through the tunnel still.

"Jack didn't mention it. Well he must have had a good reason" Bill said under his breath.

"What was that?" George not hearing what Bill said.

"Why didn't Ned come with you?" Bill changing the topic from Jack.

"Well see that is a problem" George told him stopping in his tracks.

"What do you mean?" Bill said stopping also and looking at George.

"Well when Ned came to get me everything was working just fine. But the thing is we both didn't make it out in time" George trying to explain it to Bill.

"You mean?" Bill started to say.

"Ned got taken" George informed him.

{At the Blue rebellion camp}

"There must be some way to find..." the leader began but was interrupted by his man who ran up to him.

"I have news" the man told the leader.

"Tell me it's about the person I want it to be about" the leader said looking up and balling his fists with anger.

"No but..." the man started.

"No? What do you mean? I need answers" the leader walked closer to the man and grabbed his collared shirt by the neck.

"House" is all the man could get out.

"Speak" The leader said letting go of the man.

"We found the house" the man told the leader.

The second leader leaned and whispered to his partner.

"If we know where you know who lives then we can find a clue where they went" the second leader spoke.

"Brother J we don't have to keep the name a secret anymore we know who we are looking for" the first leader told his brother.

"Phil we both know why we can't. We can't have people knowing" Brother J replied.

"I know I know. We must search the house" leader Phil told him.

"Search the place bottom to top" Phil commanded his men.

{In the tunnels}

"We are here" George said arriving under the mercantile.

"Where are the others?" Bill asked looking around the room.

"Right here" Ed came from one of the tunnels with Katie Yost.

"Thank goodness you are here Bill" Katie said coming into view.

"I thought I told you two to spilt up?" George said confused on why they were together.

"One of our tunnels combined during the way. It led the same way" Ed explaining to him.

"What did you find? Katie speaking up.

"Me! And the rest who are under the Cafe" Bill answering for George this time.

"We have to help my Father" Katie told them worried herself on what could be happening.

"I found the tunnel to where the Jail house was" Ed reported to the others.

"It isn't far from here" Ed spoke again.

"We go get Ned out" George spoke up before anyone else did.

Bill looked at him surprised.

"He saved me now it's time to repay the debt" George knowing Bill didn't trust him fully yet.

{Under the jailhouse}

"We have to go" Jack told Cody.

"Back to the Cafe?" Cody asked Jack who was starting to move towards getting out.

"Yes. We have to go back and warn them" Jack told Cody a little worried.

"Wait what about Rip? I haven't found him yet" Cody said looking around him.

"It's a long story but we have Rip. Now we need to go" Jack told him motioned him to follow.

Jack peeked his head out and looked both ways to see if anyone was coming. He had to make sure no one was coming. Once Jack didn't see anyone in the streets he moved quickly over to the Cafe with Cody close behind him. He made it to the back door of the Cafe. He was about to open it but he seen the guy who he knocked early awake.

Jack turned to Cody and pointed at the second floor of the building. Jack looking for a way to climb up building to the second level to the window. Jack walking to the little shed right beside the Cafe thinking of a way to get upstairs. Cody following him close behind but not looking where he was going accidentally kicked a tin can making a loud noise. Jack turned around to Cody. Jack putting a finger to his mouth for Cody to be silent.

Jake the man inside turned to the back door after hearing a noise from outside. Smiling to himself confident he found who he was looking for.

Jake the solider was slowing and quietly walking to the door to not alarm the people outside. Once he was at the door he quickly flew the door open and pointed his gun outside.

Not seeing anyone but a tin can he started walking outside.

Jack and Cody went all the way around the Cafe to the other side door. Slowing opening it they looked inside and seen the man looking outside the back door. Jack started walking to the closet door with Cody behind him. They were almost there when the man started turning around. Cody's eyes went big noticing this and turned to Jack. Jack quickly grabbed Cody and moved to the stairs.

Jake walked back inside the Cafe and shut the door behind him.

Jack and Cody made their way upstairs.

"Maybe I'll check upstairs" Jake said to himself. Knowing that noise before wasn't his imagination.

Once Jack and Cody were upstairs they moved to the far door on the right. It was Abigail's room and it was a large one. Jack quietly shut the door and pointed to the room closet for a place to hide. Cody froze to hear the sound of foot steps coming up the stairs. Jack seeing it hit his arm to get his attention.

Jake the solider was making his way upstairs and into the hall way. Looking at all the rooms he went into the room on the left first. Checking every where possible for people to hide. Not finding any results he was looking for walked out into the hallway again. Then he decided to go to the other room across from himself that was on the right side. Opening the door he looked around the room before he started moving.

Jack covered Cody's mouth hearing the man opening the door.

The man walked around the room looking around. Then he came to the closet and smiled to himself. Knowing that this was a easy place to hide for someone. He took both of his hands on the handles of the doors on the closet.

He flew the doors open harshly but to his surprise seen no one. Not believing it he moved his hands through the clothes and under boxes that were in the closet.

Jack who was under the bed decided at the last second it was the right choice to hide. Jack seeing every movement the man makes but only seeing his feet. The man turned to the bed and sat down on it.

"I could have swore there was people upstairs" the man said out loud while putting his hand through his hair.

"Well maybe I should try to look down stairs again" he spoke out loud. He walked out the room and made his way down stairs.

Jack relaxing some and gave a sign of relief.

"That was close" Cody said rolling over from under the bed.

"Yeah too close. We need to get back" Jack said standing up now.

"Do you think he is still down stairs?" Cody asked as he walked to the door and opened it.

"No, I don't think he is kid" the man said walking into the room with a smile and gun pointed at Jack and Cody.

"How?" Cody said confused.

"Oh I pretended to go down stairs. I knew someone was up here" the man gave a evil smile to both of them.

"Now a question for you. Get back where?" The man asked as he pointed the gun at Jack.

"To dinner of course" Jack said lying to the man.

"Don't play games with me. Where are you hiding?" The man said loading his gun.

"Wait" Cody spoke up.

"Cody no" Jack spoke to him.

"Quiet... where was it now boy?" The man turned his head to Cody.

"You have to promise not to hurt him?" Cody asked the man.

"Well of course" the man gave a evil smile.

"In the woods" Cody spoke up and lead the man a stray.

"Good boy! Now where was I?" The man said the last part to himself.

"You promised" Cody shouted.

"Yes I did but I didn't promise to not hurt you" the man said turning his gun to Cody.

"Take me instead" Jack spoke up.

"Oh how noble of you" the man rolled his eyes.

"Thanks but I'm good" the man spoke again to Jack.

Just then a loud bang sounded from the outside.

"The signal" the man said out loud.

Jack seeing that the man wasn't in the right frame of mind right now kicked the gun out of his hand.

"Not again son" the man said throwing a punch into Jack's face.

Jack tackling the man into the floor. Both men punching each other. When finally Jack gave him the last punch and grabbed the gun from the floor.

"Yes again! And I'm not your son" Jack told him as he straightened up. Tying the man's hands to the chair near by.

"I could be of help to you" the man said from the chair.

"Let's go Cody" Jack said turning to the door to leave.

"I know who they are looking for" the man spoke again.

Jack stopped in the doorway.

"Who?" Jack turned around.

"Let me free and I'll tell you" the man looked at Jack in the eyes.

Jack walked over to the man and grabbed him by the shirt.

And untied him.

"Who is it?" Jack asked the man.

The man whispered the name to Jack but Cody couldn't hear it from the doorway.

Jack was surprised what name he heard. In shock and confused.

"Not let me go Mountie" the man spoke with anger.

"Not happening" Jack said then punched him knocking him out.

"Who are they looking for Mountie Jack?" Cody asked him while Jack walked to the doorway.

"We have to get back" Jack said annoying the question.

Jack didn't know how this was possible or why they were looking for His Elizabeth...
