Walking backstage with Trinity after her match, Jonathan noticed the creative department manager, Mark, walking towards them. He sighed and exchanged looks with Josh and Trinity as he reached the group. "Glad I caught you three, I need to see you in my office…now." Mark stated sharply. Jon nodded as they followed him down the hall and towards the office. "Wonder what he wants with us." Trinity whispered to Jon, who simply shrugged as they walked into the room after Mark. "Have a seat." Mark stated as he moved around the long conference table and sat down.
Jonathan pulled a chair out for Trinity before sitting down between her and Josh. "So, it has been brought to my attention that you and Apollo had a brief scuffle before the show earlier." Mark stated looking at Jonathan.
"Yeah," Jon nodded, "That's true."
"I've heard his side, I just need yours." Mark replied sternly.
Inhaling deeply, Jon began, "Well we were practicing, and Apollo landed a punch, which honestly pissed me off, I threw a punch back. Apollo went on to mention the hotel incident with Alexander and that made me black out, so I punched him." Trinity sat nervously as Mark stared at him and began writing on the notepad in front of him. Jonathan gave her thigh a light squeeze underneath the table, feeling her nervousness radiating off her.
"Hmph," Mark sighed, "Well I do appreciate your honesty, and I've taken both statements down, I think it's best that you start controlling your temper a little better." He slid a form across the table to Jonathan with a pen, "This is a written warning, just stating that what took place earlier isn't tolerated and if it happens again, you will be suspended."
Trinity and Joshua watched as Jonathan read the form carefully and signed it, before sliding it back across the table. "Apollo has received the same form, I know that he started the incident, but I have to reprimand both of you…since that's fair." Mark sighed and grabbed the form off the table.
"I understand." Jon replied.
"Well, since that's out of the way," Mark started, "I know the storyline with Aiden was still going on, but after a meeting with my creative team, we've decided to keep you three in a storyline with Alicia Fox, and the Smackdown tag team champions The Miz, and his tag partner Damien Mizdow."
Jonathan sighed and nodded, "How is that going to work when the fans are used to seeing English in the storyline?"
"Well, we'll take it off TV for a while and then start a backstage segment with the Miz flirting with Naomi, then you two will challenge them for the titles with her being ringside."
Josh nodded, "Okay."
"Alright, well I'll let you three get going. We'll be in touch with the storyline soon." Mark stated as the three stood up and headed for the door.
"You think you'll be okay with another love storyline?" Josh asked his brother as the two started off to the men's locker room.
Jon sighed and nodded, "Yeah, Mike's cool. I know it'll be just for show, unlike Aiden."
Josh nodded in return, "True. Plus, Maryse would murder him if he ever cheated."
"You got that right." Jon chuckled.
Three months passed and Trinity kept coming up with different moves and ideas for her character as time for the new storyline to begin came closer. She continued to push herself in the ring, perfecting her skills and move each time. "Babe, slow down," Jon watched as she kept training in the ring with Tamina and Sasha. He winced as Tamina picked her up and body slammed her down on the mat, "TAM!" Jon barked making the women look over at him.
"What?!" Tamina stated, quickly pointed down at Trin as she sat up, "She wanted me to!"
Jon glared at Trinity as she made her way over to the ropes and looked down at him, "Come on, help me train."
"Absolutely not," Jon replied sternly, "You're taking a break, now."
Rolling her eyes, she turned away from him and faced her friends, "He's right Trin." Sasha spoke as Tamina nodded, "Go on, let's call it a day."
She let out a frustrated groan and started exiting the ropes, "It's been almost three hours Trin." Jon stated as she reached him. She ignored him and headed over to gather her bags, "So you're ignoring me now?" He stood behind her as she wiped her face with a towel. "No." She replied as he moved to stand in front of her. She stared up at him as he glared at her with his arms folded, "What?" She asked annoyed.
"The fact that I had to leave home and come find you, pisses me off." Jon's nostrils flared as he spoke, "You could've at least told me where you'd be."
She nodded, "You're right, I'm sorry. I called Tam to pick me up, plus I just wanted to make a few adjustments with my finishers."
"You've made more than enough adjustments for over a month now." Jon replied, "I wanted to spend time with you at home, not at this damn performance center."
Guilt immediately hit her as she noticed the hurt look in his eyes, "Let's go, we have the rest of today and tomorrow." She replied slowly wrapping her arms around his waist, "I'll make it up to you."
Cutting his eyes at her, he scoffed, "Yeah sure."
"I'm serious," Trinity replied, "I'll make it up to both of you." She whispered in his ear.
He tried to fight it, but a small smirk formed on his face as one of her hands rubbed his back, "Hm, we'll see."
She smiled as he placed an arm around her, quickly grabbing her bag with the other. Tamina and Sasha smiled at the couple as they waved before exiting the building, "Can we go eat now?" Sasha sighed, followed by a nod from Tamina.
Jonathan groaned as he carefully pulled into the driveway of the house, slowly parked, and closed the garage behind them, "You're gonna make me wreck." Looking up at him, Trinity smiled as she stroked his fully erected manhood before taking him back into her mouth. "Shit." He parked his truck and placed one hand on the back of her head, "Damn…Trin." Coming up for air, she giggled at his facial expression, "Why you stop?" Jon asked puzzled. Shrugging her shoulders, she smiled, "I have to go shower."
"Oh, that's so mean!" Jon watched as she started grabbed her bag, "We're not done here."
Quickly grabbing her arm, "Jon-" She turned to face him, but was met by his lips. She moaned into his mouth as his hands traveled downward and snaked into her tights. She moaned louder as his index and middle fingers entered her warmth, "Jon." She raised her lower half up as he pulled her clothes off, before gently pulling her over the gear shifts and into his lap. Reclining his seat backwards, Jon pushed his pants down to his ankles as she turned to face him. Holding her by the waist, he slowly lowered her onto his fully erected manhood, both moaning in pleasure as she slowly took all of him in. He held her hips tightly as she moved back and forth winding her hips as he stared into her eyes. Catching her breath, she began moving up and down, gasping loudly as he started thrusting upwards into her wetness, "Jon." She threw her head backwards as he held onto her, increasing his pace, "Baby." He suppressed his moans as he watched her nearing her climax. Her nails dug into his arms as she caught the rhythm of his thrusts, "Ohh, fuck." Jon mumbled as he felt her tighten around him. Jon quickly sat up, wrapping an arm around her, pressing her against him, "Jon…" She moaned before his lips crashed into hers. He watched as she threw her head back again as she shook against him moaning his name loudly as she came all over him. "I'm almost there baby." Jon whispered against her neck as he continued thrusting inside of her, "God, you're so beautiful." His voice alone made her climax again as tears formed in her eyes. She trembled in his arms as he began kissing her neck, "I love you…I love you so much." Jon moaned as he finally neared his own peak. He groaned loudly as he exploded inside of her as her walls tightened around him again. She stared into his brown eyes before kissing him passionately, "I love you too." She whispered against his lips as they both tried to catch their breath.
"We should go shower." Jon stated as she remained on top of him.
"We huh?" She giggled as he kissed her neck softly, "Maybe a shower will ignite round two?" She slowly moved upwards as he exited out of her.
"Yeah, come on." He replied shutting the engine off, then quickly opening his door while holding her in his arms. "Put me down!" She laughed as he stood up, gripping her butt in his hands. "I can carry you." He smirked as she shook her head.
"No, you have to pull your pants up." She replied as he placed her on her feet.
He smiled as she pulled her pants up and fixed her shirt, "Fine. But you do realize once we get inside…you're mine." She blushed slightly as whispered in her ear.
"I'm always yours." She replied heading for the door.
Grabbing her bag from backseat, he locked the doors to the truck and headed inside behind her…
Josh entered the house to the smell of dinner, "Babe, I'm home!" He called out as he walked towards the kitchen.
Takecia stood over the stove preparing dinner as he smiled at her, "Hey baby." She replied feeling his eyes on her, "Had a nice workout?"
She jumped slightly as his arms wrapped around her waist, "It was good, I'll have a better workout with you though." His lips brushed against her neck as he pushed her hair behind her shoulder. "No…Josh, I'm cooking." She blushed as she continued the task in front of her. "I'm not hungry for that." He whispered to her, as his hands roamed over her body, "We can finish that later." Chills ran up and down her spine as he left a trail of kisses from her cheek to her shoulder, "Don't make me beg." She closed her eyes as she leaned back into him, biting her lip trying to suppress her moans as his hands squeezed her thighs.
Inhaling deeply, she turned the stove off and turned to face him, "Well, I like when you beg."
"Oh yeah?" He smirked as she placed her arms around his neck. She squealed as he quickly lifted her off her feet, turning around to place her on the island in the middle of their kitchen, "I love when you're home waiting on me." The cold countertop touched her naked behind as he lifted the oversized t-shirt she was wearing, "Josh…" She moaned loudly as his fingers roamed over her lower body. "Shh, I haven't done anything yet." He gently pushed her down onto the counter and pulled her legs forward towards him, "Now. Let me eat." He ordered as he lips brushed against her warmth…
"This should be my house." Tanya mumbled to herself as she sat outside of the two-story brick house. She hit the steering wheel as she stalked outside the house for the third time this week. Looking over at the passenger seat, she inhaled deeply as she stared at the 9mm pistol that laid there, "This is my house." Hearing a truck nearing, she leaned her seat back as Jonathan's vehicle turned into the driveway as the garage door let up. "Bitch!" She screamed inside of her car as she saw Trinity exiting the house in the garage to greet him, only catching a quick glimpse of her smiling widely as Jonathan parked the truck, before the door closed shut. "Soon you'll be mine." She stared at the house once more before the tires of her car screeched down the street.
Memphis, Tennessee – Tuesday Night Smackdown
"Naomi is on fire tonight!" Michael Cole's voice spoke over the monitor as Jon watched backstage. A smile came across his lips as she delivered a running hurricanrana to Lana, sending her through the ropes and to the floor. He watched as she exited the ring and grabbed Lana by her hair, tossing her back into the ring.
"Don't smile too hard uce, your face will get stuck." Josh joked as he walked up to his brother.
Jon laughed, "What can I say, she brings a smile to my face."
"She's doing great out there," Josh replied, "Try not to beat up Mike tonight."
Jon chuckled, "I won't do him like English, Miz is cool people, I know this isn't in any way real for him."
He clapped his hands together as Trinity executed her newest submission move, remembering how they practiced over the past two weeks…
"You won't hurt me, just try it." Jon assured her as they stood in the ring.
She inhaled deeply and nodded, "Fine."
Jon quickly landed on his back as Trinity went for a fake roll-up pinfall, placing both his arms underneath her legs tightly, then pulling his head forward towards her. She watched as his expression changed, "Are you okay?" He quickly tapped his hand against her thigh, forcing her to let go of the hold. "Yep, that's a good move." Jon rubbed his neck as she sat on the mat. She smiled widely, "Thanks," noticing Xavier standing outside the ring, she shot her eyes at him, "F.T.G, feel the glow submission. Want to test it out?"
Shaking his head, Xavier threw his hands up, "No ma'am."
"Aw, don't be chicken!" Josh joked, playfully hitting him in the arm. "I'm not teasing her ever again." Xavier scoffed as Jon grabbed her hands and helped her up.
"That's a great move though babe," Jon assured her, "You're really killing these finishers."
She smiled as he placed an arm around her, "Thanks babe."
"Jimmy, Jey you're up in five." Mark stated interrupting his thoughts.
The two men nodded and headed for the gorilla as The Miz hopped over the barricade and entered the ring as the ref announced Naomi as the winner of the match. "Isn't she just awesome?!" Miz beamed as he spoke into the mic, "I mean, you have it all…the looks, moves, and if you just let me help you, I can help your career grow so much faster than it is right now." Miz spoke as Damien copied his every move.
Trinity continued to keep a straight face as the two men continued, "I know you and Jimmy are together, but he can't provide you with a secure career like myself." She shifted on her feet uncomfortably as the crowd booed Miz, "Just think about it!" Miz yelled over the crowd, "With a body like this, we can do a lot!". The arena's energy changed as Jon and Josh appeared from backstage, making their way towards the ring as Miz and Damien stood next to her. Chills covered her arms as she noticed the anger in Jon's eyes as he reached the ring, while the other two men quickly exited the ring from the other side. Grabbing the mic from the floor where Miz dropped it, Jon growled at Miz as he made his way backstage, "STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER! THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!" Josh stood between his brother and the ropes, as Trinity stood behind Jon.
After making their way backstage, Jonathan quickly started for Mike, "What the hell man?"
Damien stood between the two had a stare down, "That was just for show." Damien stated.
"Not talking to you." Jon hissed as he glared at him, "Mentioning my woman's body wasn't part of the script."
Trinity started walking over until Tamina stopped her, "Don't, let them work it out."
She sighed and started down the hall to the locker room, hoping Jon would control his anger while she was gone. "It was part of a script, creative wanted extra spice, I can promise you that I am not interested in Trinity." Mike stated as Jon's nostrils flared out of anger, "I wouldn't do that to you, especially when I know all the crap you two have been through recently."
"He's right." Josh interjected, "But you did go completely left by what you said."
Mike nodded, "And I'm sorry uce, I promise you that."
Jon glared at him as he stuck his hand out, eventually shaking it with a sigh, "Alright."
After showering, Trinity had changed into a pair of blue jeans and a red USO t-shirt, gathering her bags as everyone else busied themselves around the room. Hearing the door open, she noticed how the room quickly quieted down. "What's going on?" She turned to face Tamina, who was glaring towards the doorway. Following her eyes, she noticed as Alicia stood there, returning the glare. "Here comes bullshit." Sasha mumbled as she glared at the woman as well.
Alicia inhaled deeply and started towards the group, "Trinity."
Sitting her bag down, Trinity nodded as she spoke again, "Can we talk? Alone?" Alicia asked, glaring at the women around her.
"You wish." Becky snorted, "Get lost will ya'!"
Trinity moved in front of the women, feeling the tension between them, "I'll be back." She stated, surprising the women. They watched as Alicia followed her out of the locker room, "If she's not back in five, your ass is dead!" Tamina warned as the door shut.
Walking through the halls, people stopped and looked at the two women together, surprised that they, out of all people were together without blood being shed. "I know I'm the last person you'd ever talk to, but I just want to warn you." Alicia started, "I think Cedric is becoming obsessed with you, to the point that it's scary."
Stopping in her tracks, Trinity studied her face, realizing that she was serious, "What did he say?"
"Not sure of who he's been talking to, but the last time I was around him, right after you know…" The images of her and Trinity's last match played through her mind, making feel uneasy as she continued, "I think he's planning something that will possibly hurt you or Jonathan, so just be careful. And I don't think that person works for the company."
Trinity nodded, "Thanks I-"
"TRIN!" She sighed at the sound of his voice echoing through the hallway. Quickly turning around, she stopped him in his tracks as his eyes burned a hole through Alicia, "Stay away from her!" Placing her hand on his chest, "Jon, stop." Trinity replied, "She just wanted to talk."
"Talk?" Jon questioned, "Trying to lie again, or do you and your little friend have more pictures to post?!"
"No." Alicia replied sharply, "And I'm sorry, to both of you about that. Despite everything I put you both through, I just wanted to come and warn you about Cedric, not sure what he's capable of but just keep your eye on him."
"Thank you," Trinity nodded as she waved and headed back into the locker room. Turning her attention back to Jon, she sighed and folded her arms, "Can you not yell at people like that?"
Jon scoffed, "People like her, aren't to be trusted, especially after all the shit she's put us through."
Trinity nodded, "I know, but I honestly believe her about what she told me."
Inhaling deeply, Jon looked at her and nodded, "Yeah, hate to say that I do as well."
"Trinity!" The locker room door swung open, slamming into the wall as Sasha and Becky stepped out into the hallway, startling passersby. Holding in a chuckle, Trinity waved them over as they turned in her direction, "I'm fine, I promise."
Becky nodded and sighed in relief, before yelling back into the locker room, "Tamina! You can let her go!"
Jon held back a laugh as Trinity started back into the room along with the others…
Tampa, Florida – Thursday Morning
"You sure you're okay with staying here?" Jon asked as she walked him to the door.
He agreed to meet his brother at Joe's house to help paint the nursey for Joe and Galina's unborn baby girl. The entire week, Jonathan felt uneasy as the time neared. For some reason he didn't want to leave Trinity at home, he asked her to go with him, but she decided to stay home.
Nodding, she gave him an assuring smile, "Yes, I'll see you later on today."
He studied her face and sighed, "Okay, I should be back from Joe and G's at 3."
"Okay, be careful." Trinity replied before he planted a kiss on her lips, "Love you."
She watched as he unlocked the doors of his truck, smiling as he turned to her, "Love you more." He smiled as he got in the vehicle, never taking his eyes off her as she stood in the doorway of the garage and house, "Love you more than you'll ever know." He stated before reversing out of the driveway. She waved a final time before the garage door closed, smiling to herself as she closed the door behind her before heading into the kitchen. After washing the dishes, she finished the laundry and headed upstairs to their bedroom. Placing her phone on the charger, she decided to vacuum before cleaning their bathroom. Humming to a song in her head as she started the machine, stopping in her tracks as it shut off along with the lights in the house. 'What the hell' She thought to herself as she tried the light switch to their bedroom. A knot formed in her stomach as she heard a noise down the hall. Inhaling deeply, she shook her head, 'It's nothing'. Starting out of the bedroom towards the stairs, she listened for anything other than the dryer in the laundry room that was humming softly. Smiling to herself she shook her head, 'See, nothing'. Feeling a pair of hands cover her mouth, she tried to elbow the person in the stomach as their grip grew tighter, quickly lifting off her feet and hoisting her down the stairs…
Feeling her head throbbing, she opened her eyes and tried to focus on where she was. Realizing that she was laying on her side in the backseat of a car as trees passed in the window, she began to panic. Her heart began racing as she realized that her hands and legs were hog tied behind her, and her mouth was taped shut.
"Oh good, you're awake." A female laughed from the driver seat.
Instantly she noticed the voice as the car continued cruising, "We have at least another three hours." She spoke again as Trinity tried to focus on the back of the woman's head, "Jonny won't miss you, I hope you realize that."
Feeling her blood boil, Trinity tried to pull her arms from the ropes, but it was too tight, "Oh don't hurt yourself, that's my job!" Tanya giggled as tears formed in Trinity's eyes, "Hope you said goodbye to him."
"Thanks again man, I appreciate it." Joe smiled as he walked Jon and Josh to the front door.
"No problem, that's what we're here for." Josh replied as Jon nodded.
"I owe y'all, big time." Joe sighed.
"Oh, we'll hold you to that." Jon laughed, "But for real, we're happy for you both."
Joe nodded, "Thanks, I won't keep you two. I know y'all got to get back home."
He hugged them both and headed back inside. Pulling out his phone, Jon dialed Trinity's number and waited for her to answer. "Everything okay?" Josh walked over to him as Jon tried a third time.
Shaking his head, Jon instantly grew worried, "No, she always answers. Something's wrong bro, I…I got to go."
Josh nodded, "Okay, calm down. Let's go."
Jon started for his truck as Josh followed him, both men sped off out of Joe's driveway and down the street.
"Babe have you talked to Trin?" Josh asked as soon as Cia answered.
"Not since yesterday," Cia replied, quickly sensing the worry in his voice, "Why? What's wrong?"
"Heading over there with Jon," Josh replied as he followed his brother's truck across town, "She didn't answer each time he called."
Cia inhaled deeply, "Okay, I'll meet y'all there. Be careful."
"You too." Josh replied before she hung up.
Pulling into the driveway, Cia looked around as she got out the car with her gun in hand. Pulling out the spare key on her key ring, she made her way to the front door since the garage was still closed. Peeping through the windows, she couldn't see anything and instantly knew something wasn't right. Unlocking the door, she called out, "Trin, it's me…Trin!" She listened for anything before slowly entering the house. Pushing open the front door, she stepped inside and tried to turn the lights on, but they weren't working. As her phone vibrated in her pocket, she quickly answered it, "Hello?"
"Pulling up now, are you here?" Josh asked.
"Yes, the lights aren't coming on." Cia replied quietly, not moving from the doorway.
"Okay." Josh responded before hanging up.
She watching as both men pulled up in their vehicles and Jon hopped out of his first, "Lights are out." Cia greeted him, quickly moving out of the way as he made his way inside followed by Josh. "Stay here." Josh ordered, "Do not move." He grabbed the gun from her hand and followed his brother carefully through the house. She focused on breathing as she listened out for them as they maneuvered through the house.
"I need to get these lights on." Jon stated as he made his way towards the garage.
Josh followed him as he entered the garage, "It's okay bro." Josh stated as Jon stopped in his tracks, noticing Trinity's car was still there. He sighed deeply and headed for the breaker box, "Its been turned off." Jon stated as he quickly turned everything back on. As the lights flicked on, Josh raced back for the front entrance after hearing his wife scream loudly. Jonathan quickly followed him, freezing in his steps as she cried in her husband's arms pointing to the floor. Staring at the blood-stained floor, Jonathan's eyes filled with tears as he fell to his knees, "Bro, get up. We have to call the police." Josh replied as Cia turned away from the scene.
"She got to her." Jon whispered as the tears escaped his eyes, "She has Trinity."
"Thanks officer," Solofa shook the hands of the detectives that stood before him as they headed out of the door.
Walking towards his car, he watched as Jonathan sat in the backseat, "Son."
"Leave him." Talisua replied as she walked over to him, "There's nothing we can say right now to him, we just need to get him out of here so he can rest."
Nodding, Solofa sighed, "Okay, once they finish gathering enough evidence, he probably can return home."
"He won't." Josh walked over to his parents, "Not without Trin."
Joe nodded in agreement, "Yeah, can you blame him?"
"Already spoke to Hunter," Josh started, "He'll inform HR and go from there. I told him that I'm not traveling, not while my brother is going through this."
"Same." Joe replied as Solofa and Talisua nodded.
"Where's Tam?" Solofa asked, knowing how close she and Trinity are.
"She's with Galina," Joe replied, "She couldn't come here and see it, plus I didn't want G to be home alone while I came here so she, Cia, and Nia went there."
"Well, lets go rest and pray." Talisua spoke, "She's okay, I know it."
Josh fought back tears as he looked over at his brother who was staring at the house from his parent's car. He couldn't imagine what was going through his twin's mind, but he knew Trinity was a fighter and she was okay. Jonathan sat in the car, watching his family talk before getting in the car and pulling out of the driveway. He didn't want to leave, but he knew it was part of an investigation now, 'She's okay…I can feel it' was all he could think to himself repeatedly.
"Wake up!" Trinity gasped as a bucket of cold water was doused over her head. Looking around her, she couldn't see anything due to a light being shined in her face. "Aw, was the water too cold?" Tanya teased. Tightening the rope that was around her arms and legs, she walked around to the front of the chair and began slapping her, "This…is…your…fault!" Through each slap, Trinity whimpered as she tasted the blood in her mouth, "You got in my way!"
Watching her struggle, Tanya smirked at her as she paced the floor of the motel room, "What should I do with you? Hm?" Trinity's head hung down as the water dripped onto the carpet, "Wake up!" She hissed at her, grabbing her face, "Aw, it won't be any fun if you die from exhaustion." She let go of her face and chuckled, "I'm sure Jonny is losing his shit over you."
"You…you won't get away with…this." Trinity uttered out slowly, "They'll find us…you'll go to jail."
Shaking her head, "Nope, not the plan. I'd rather die than go to prison!" Tanya yelled as she slapped her repeatedly, until Trinity blacked out, "Besides you'll die before that happens to me."
"I just can't believe this." Jon listened to Gracy's voice from the guest bedroom of his brother's house. Fighting back his own tears as he heard her sobs from the living room. "I'm so sorry." Cia replied comforting Trinity's mother, "They'll find her. I just know it."
Exiting the bedroom, Jonathan slowly walked down the hallway and into the living room to see Cia hugging her. She nodded at him as he moved closer, "Come on." Turning around, Gracy quickly stood and embraced him, "Jonathan, I can't believe this."
He hugged her as she cried on his shoulder, "Neither can I." He replied hoarsely.
"They've wanted to call the search off," Gracy replied softly as they sat down.
"I refuse for them to." Jon stated sternly, "She's out there, not sure where, but I know she's okay."
Nodding, Gracy sighed, "I agree. But it has been almost a month now."
It pained him as she reminded him of how long Trinity was missing, he inhaled deeply, "Yeah, I know."
He refused to stay at home since she wasn't there, plus he was having the floors redone since the blood permanently stained the entranceway and stairs. Thankfully, Stephanie and Hunter agreed to give him and Joshua as much time as needed off, until her whereabouts were known, as for Joe, Nia, and Tamina, Jonathan forced them to return to work. However, they continued searching for her as well on their days off. Deep down they all knew Tanya had a hand in this, but no one knew where she could be. Her prints were found at the scene, since she wasn't smart enough to wear gloves, "She probably did that on purpose." Joe stated, once the detectives discovered her prints.
"It's either her or Derek." Jonathan replied as everyone sat around the room.
"But he's in jail." Cia started, "No way he escaped."
Everyone nodded, "True." Jon sighed, "I'll kill her, I swear I will."
Tears formed in her eyes as she remained laid on the cot in the middle of an empty room, hands and feet tied behind her back. Refusing to let Tanya win, Trinity tried for what seemed to be the thousandth time to free herself. She felt the knot that Tanya tied and tried to undo it, "Come on." She whispered to herself as she struggled. She'd listen for her footsteps or loud obnoxious voice, as she attempted to loosen the rope.
"Oh God." She sighed as the rope loosened, quickly untying her arms. Stretching her arms out, she groaned softly as they tensed up. Slowly sitting up, she began removing the tape on her mouth, then the rope on her legs. She inhaled deeply as she looked around the room, the only light was through a window. Slowly standing, she listened again…nothing, and quietly walked over to the window. Noticing that she was on the lower floor of an apartment complex, she carefully attempted to unlock then open the window. 'You can do this' She thought to herself as she looked around on the outside before climbing out. Stepping onto the ground she groaned as her legs almost gave out underneath her. Wondering how long she'd been here, she looked around carefully before making a run for it.
Driving towards the apartments, Tanya thought about her next plan. She kept hesitating on whether to end her life or keep dragging it out as the weeks went by. Once she decided to dial her brother, she finally confessed to the kidnapping.
"You've had her for how long?!" Cedric hissed into the phone at his sister, "Are you insane?!"
Tanya chuckled, "You should be happy, why are you upset?"
"We never agreed to kidnapping, you know that!" Cedric headed out of the arena and into the parking lot, "You've gone too far. I wanted them to hurt, not die or anything close to what you've done!"
"Oh, grow a pair!" Tanya stated as she stopped at a red light, impatiently waiting for the light to change.
"Where the hell are you?" Cedric asked as he paced the parking lot.
"I rented out this apartment in Atlanta." Tanya replied nonchalantly.
Shaking his head, he ran a hand over his face, "You have to let her go."
"What?!" Tanya yelled, "And have her go back to my Jonny?!"
"He isn't yours!" Cedric stated, "Dammit Tanya, you're going down for this alone!"
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Tanya questioned, "You're backing out of this?!"
"Yes!" Cedric yelled, "You're obsessed and insane!"
"If you so much as call the police, I will kill you myself!" She threatened, "Cedric!" She screamed before he hung up, throwing her phone into the passenger's seat. As the light changed, she quickly turned on left and started down the street. "What, the hell!" Tanya sneered as she noticed a familiar figure running down the street. She pressed down on the gas and grabbed the gun from the car's console, "Bitch!" She screamed as she noticed that the woman running was indeed Trinity. Speeding up, she let down her window, "Get back here!" She screamed loudly, pointing the gun out of the window. She inhaled deeply as she pulled the trigger, cursing to herself as she noticed Trinity running faster and out of sight.
After running a few miles, Trinity groaned in pain as she began walking, once she realized that she was in Atlanta, she headed for her parent's neighborhood across town. As the sun started to set, she kept her pace and sighed as she reached their street, "Please be home." She whispered tiredly. Walking towards the house, she felt exhausted and overwhelmed, stopping for a moment in front of her parent's neighbors' home.
