Interesting response to the last chapter...i want to say about having Jake save Katie etc...i must admit, im a sucker for a protective guy. But im all for a girl standing her ground and not needing a man...well i will say, i have already written some more chapters before a review was posted, and dont worry, Katie gets her moment.
Thanks again for all the comments! Always keeps me going!
Jake had has hands clenched to his sides the whole time. He shouldn't shake the look of fear from Katie's face. He turned his head over his shoulder to see Trey behind him, gun pointed to him. The reason for that fear was that man. Jake seethed. He couldn't bare to look at him.
He knocked on Cannerts door he heard fumbling and a voice, "Its very late..." he opens the door and from the look on his face, Jake knows Cannerts has seen the gun.
"Dr Cannerts. This man has come to see you" Jake said it coolly. He didn't want to cause anymore problems.
"Dr Cannerts? Nice to finally meet the man that has killed many" it was cold and to the point. Jake turned his head to glare at Trey. Like he has any right to say that. But it came out like he was proud. Trey stepped forward and pointed to the office with his gun, "Shall we?"
Cannerts moved slowly backwards into the office, with Jake taking a step in. Suddenly the gun came smacking into his chest, he turned to look at Trey, "You take that gun off me"
Trey smirked, "This is none of your concern"
"Cannerts and all the other people in the hospital are under my protection. That's my business" Jake quickly responded.
"Go take care of your girl. Could be a bit shaken up"
Jake inhaled sharply at the mention of Katie and started to square up to him, "Don't you think, just because you have a gun that i'm not going to make you pay for that"
Trey chuckled, "Oh id love to see you try" he then passed him into the room, "no need for you to be here. I wont touch him. Just as agreed"
Jake looked to Cannerts, who nodded and raised his mobile behind Trey's back. Notifying him that he would spend a message if something was going wrong. Jake didn't respond as Trey was looking at him, "Fine. I will be back in 10 minutes. That's as much time as i'm giving you. Then you leave this hospital"
Trey frowned at him, "Leave? Why would i leave? I have medical supplies. A doctor and a potential cure on the way...my friend this my home now" with a wink the door slams in Jake's face.

Jake marched down the hall. All the anger he had right now was to the point of him wanting to scream. He couldn't let this guy win. He was everything Jake fought against. A bully. A killer, a manipulator. He wasn't having it. And he certainly wasn't going to let him get away with what he did to Katie. He walked into the door to see Katie sat on Jakes cot. Everyone still asleep. She quickly looked up at him entering and ran straight to him. Hes arms wrapped round her, one hand into her hair and cupping the back of her head. He closed his eyes. Thankful she was ok. With a motion he pulled her into the hall, so not to wake the others.
They pulled away and Jake gently put his hands on her cheeks, and looked down to her neck, a bruise was forming and he seethed, pulling back and pacing up and down the corridor.
"Jake its nothing really..." she said in a quiet tone.
"No!" his voice raised, but realizing the others could wake he turned it down, but his aggression still there, he pointed to her neck, "that is exactly what i've been afraid of. You. Hurt"
Katie walked closer to him, and brought the fists that were clenched to his sides to her mouth and kissed them both.
"Its just a bruise. It could have been a lot worse. But it wasn't. Because you dealt with it in the right way"
"Not the way i wanted" Jake shook his head.
"What was the way you wanted?" Katie questioned, her brow turning down.
Jake took a moment, he knew she wouldn't want to hear this answer, but it was his genuine feelings. He had to be honest with her, "The way i wanted was him dead on the corridor floor"
Katie pulled back, her eyes slightly widened, "Jake..."
"He had has hands on you, a gun to your face. In that moment...and right now. All i want to do is kill him. That's not something you want to hear. But its the truth" Jake responded.
Katie looked down, tears in her eyes, "But ... your not that guy" she looked disappointed.
Jake shook his head, "I am when the women i love is in danger" he wasn't holding back. Even if it meant she backed away from him. He wasn't going to change the way he felt. Anyone who harms her, he would always feel this way about.
"I need..." she swallowed and brought her hand to her mouth, then back down again, "i need a moment" she started to back away.
"Katie.." Jake said catching her attention, "i know your disappointed in me..."
She put her hand up to stop him, "I just need to take some time on my own for a little bit. Don't worry i wont go far. I will be on the roof" it was almost like she was letting him know it was ok. But she needed time to digest the situation.
Jake pursed his lips and curtly nodded, watching her go...
