Part 19

Franny frowns, "Are you sure? This whole thing is true, how does...how can. I don't understand how he could live like that." She says,uunsure how to state things. How can she help a person through things like that, how can she cope with that much pressure. She wouldn't even know where to start, and she doesn't want to do that to George, to abandon him, but she won't be able to deal with him, right now, she has so much else to deal. Before anyone can answer her, the phone rings.

Bailey picks it up. "Malone?"

"This is Peyton, I am at the hospital with John, it seems Jack has decided to go after George and his roommate, and almost killed John because of it, he had disguised himself as the security guard wattching George's apartment, and now Jack, disguised as John is holding some type of trial against Warren.There is a third hostage as well, whom we are trying to identify." Marcus answers in one breath.

"How fast can you get to George's apartment?" Bailey asks, trying to digest all this new information.

"On my way now, I just wanted to make sure John got their before he bled to death, and to make sure the guard Jack killed got to the morgue." Peyton switches the ear his cell phone is on.

"Okay, I going to send backup, and we will meet you there shortly, is anyone watching the monitors now?" Bailey says getting up from the chair, he is trying to figure out what kind of trial Jack could be holding for Warren, and why Warren, he doesn't see how Rich has anything to do with Sam, except maybe through George.

"Atlanta, Pd, they will keep us informed. "

Both of them hang up at the same time. "Jack is holding George, Richard, and a third unknown person hostage in the apartment. John is in the hospital, because Jack almost killed him."

"There's something else isn't there Bailey, something that seemed odd for Jack to do, I heard it in your voice." Sam asks.

"Yes, Jack is holding a trial for Rich."

"Why?" "Can I go with you guys, Dad?"

"I don't know why, and no, I would prefer you don't." Bailey says, heading towards the elevator, dialing backup as he does.

Sam and Grace follow him, Sam a little slower behind Grace. Sam is trying to figure out why Richard could be on trial, she doesn't even know him that well, George is the only one connected to her, through Work, but the only things she knows about Richard she picked up from George. Why would Jack be doing something to Richard? Was he changing his M.O. of killing only people who have something to do with her? She also hopes that John is alright, and she especially hopes George hasn't been hurt, yet, and that Jack won't hurt him, hes been through enough today.

"I feel really bad for George." Grace comments, when the elevator hits the ground floor.

Bailey, finished calling back up, steps out. "I do, too, and I hope we make it their in time, and catch both Jack and Rich. They both deserve long jail sentences."
