I know it's been a while but thanks for the awesome reviews! Here's the third part.
She started to walk over to the window. " It's over Kevin. Just let it go." She tossed the phone out the window. Monica turned to Rachel and Ross, relieved to finally been able to say those words to Kevin.
" Mon, we really should get going. He knows what you're doing and will come after you." Rachel said softly.
" I know, I know. Umm call your dad or where ever that car is and see if they can get it ready for us." Rachel grabbed the phone and started to dial.
" Mommy." They all turned to see Adam looking back confused. " Were you yelling at daddy on the phone?"
" Adam, sweetie. Go brush your teeth and mommy will make some breakfast. Okay?"
"…Okay." Monica sighed in relief that he didn't ask anymore questions.
" Mon," Ross cut in, " Go look after those two. We'll take care of everything else."
" Thanks." Monica walked into the guestroom and watched the sleeping baby's chest rise and fall. She took a seat on the bed and continued to watch her beautiful daughter. She looked so peaceful, which was a contrast to how her mother felt. Monica gently woke her and took her into the bathroom for a bath. After words, Monica walked out of the bathroom with a fully clothed Ashley to see Rachel fixing breakfast for Adam and Ross on the phone. She put Ashley down and gave her a toy. Seconds later Ross hung up the phone and turned to Monica.
" Okay, We can't use Dr. Green's car because he sold it but we can buy a cheap one and…"
" Look Ross, I just need a car and then I can take it from there. I appreciate that you want to help me but I think its better if I just handle this myself."
" But Mon-"
" I know your going to say that I'm just being stubborn and that I need all the help I can get but I just… I don't want to put your life in jeopardy. So far I know that I'm not going to go move far away or leave the country because that's what he expects me to do. I'm not going to stay in New York because that would be too dangerous. So I'm going to stay with my mother just until I come up with another plan. Don't worry we'll be fine. If I'm truly in trouble and need your help, then I will definitely come to you. Otherwise I think its better if you act like you've never seen us and don't know what's going on. Okay?"
" Okay." Ross and Rachel answered hesitantly. There was no use in arguing with Monica over anything. She always got her way. At least, that's how it used to be.
" I'm at least going to come with you to get the car." Rachel said, still worried about her friend.
" Alright but Ross, go to work because if Kevin comes here, doesn't see any of us and finds out you're not at work, then he's going to suspect that your guys are helping me."
" Sure." He said quietly. He moved towards Monica. " Listen, be careful. Don't do anything stupid because your fighting for three lives and not just your own. Call me when you can. Remember I love you and will do anything for you. Even kill."
" Don't talk like that Ross because you make me think that your actually going to do it."
" I have the right mine to our at least do some serious damage on him."
" I think we all would like to do that." Rachel smirked.

" I guess this is it." Rachel said looking at Monica. " Wow. We're in Jersey City and we got a car from a dealership named Honest Bob's. A place that has 'honest' in their name isn't too honest. Maybe that's why they only except cash and won't let you test-drive the cars." Rachel joked. Monica smiled.
" Yeah that place was a dump but, what are ya gonna do?" Monica shrugged. Rachel knelt down to Adam.
" Hey buddy, you gotta do me a favor?"
" What?" Adam asked.
" You have to take good care of your mom and sis for me, okay? You gotta be a good boy and listen to what your mom says. Can you do that?"
" I guess."
" Thanks." She kissed him on the forehead and then Ashley on the cheek. She turned to Monica. " Be strong and remember this is a good thing you're doing. Always remind yourself that. Call me as soon as you can."
Monica hugged Rachel tightly and whispered in her ear "I will." Rachel pulled away and took one last look at Monica.
" Alright. I'm gonna go. Bye sweetie."
" Bye." Rachel turned and went into the train station. Monica watched her leave and then turned to the car where Adam and Ashley were already seated.
" Put on your seatbelt, hold Ashley next to you and put one on her." Monica sighed. " You ready to go?"
" Where are we going?"
" I don't know, honey. I don't know."

Rachel sat on the hard seat, deep in thought as the train was in motion. She glanced up and saw a man not too far away staring at her. She turned away then looked back at him and saw that his head was turned. She shook her head thinking she was just being paranoid. The train came to a stop she quickly stepped out. With the cold attacking her face, Rachel tried to keep up a quick pace. Seeing a newspaper stand, she stopped to buy a pack of gum. She always chewed gum when she was nervous. Turning around momentarily she saw the same guy who was on the train, leaning against a building and talking on a cell phone. After paying for the gum she returned to the pace that she was walking at. Glancing back, she saw the man start to walk again. Was he following her? Rachel really didn't want to find out. She began to walk even faster. A woman not too far away, was getting in a cab. She ran up to her and jumped in the cab also.
" What are you doing?" The woman wondered.
" I'm sorry. I'm just trying to dodge someone. Where are you going?"
" To a nail place on Spring St."
" Okay I'll just ride with if that's okay."
" Sure."
" Thank you." She looked back and saw the man stop and look around. She ducked further down in her seat and took a breath of relief.

Ross fumbled with the keys until he finally got the right key to unlock his apartment. He spent the whole morning at work and decided to come home for lunch or to see if Rachel had returned. His mind was somewhere else. It felt like one of those days where you just go through the motions. Ross sighed as he put his briefcase on the floor next to the door and headed to the fridge.
" Why, hello Ross." He turned to see Kevin sitting in the white chair. Ross fought his urge to lunge at him. Instead, he remembered what Monica told him.
" Hey Kev." He said and plastered on a smile. " How'd you get in?"
" You gave me a copy of the key a while ago."
" Oh I must've forgotten." He nodded knowing damn well that he never gave Kevin a key. " So why the impromptu visit? What's up?"
" I was thinking that you could tell me. Where's Monica?" Kevin asks, standing from his seat.
" Something happened to Monica?" He asked trying to sound surprised.
" Don't play stupid. I know you know where she is. Stop wasting both our times." He stepped closer to Ross. " We can solve this problem easily by just telling me where she is, or the hard way. Which is not telling me and making me call some of my close friends and make certain people's lives a living hell. Which do you choose?"
"Look, I don't know where she is. Okay?" Kevin grabbed Ross by the collar and held him close, so that their faces were inches apart. " If you get in the way of me and my children, you will regret it."
Ross pushed him back. " I don't know. Get out of my apartment!" Kevin gave him a cold look then slammed the door behind him.
Pretty please review! I promise Chandler is coming soon!
