He watched in horror as she continued to kiss Lucas. He watched her throw their eight year marriage away. He should have known that this was going to happen soon. Their problems were lurking ,waiting to come; it was only a matter of time before they blew up in their faces. Everything going on with the murders had pushed all those feelings away of hurt and angry away. Murder or no murder those feelings had just been awoken. He knew what he had to do he had to give her what she wanted; a divorce. He would bring her back to the jail, clear her name, and then let her go. It was more than obvious that she wanted to be free of him; so he would give her that freedom. He stepped out from his hiding place and walked up to the both of them. She didn't notice him until he cleared his throat. Jackie turned her head and stared at him in horror. Her facial features were full of guilt and terror. She didn't suspect to see him standing there.

Lucas looked at Hyde. He was in total shock of seeing him. He heard the door slam while he was in the bathroom. How was he going to explain this to the detective? What could he say that wouldn't make him mad? He lied to him about busting Jackie out of jail and now he was caught red handed hugging and kissing his wife.

"Jackie come on let's go." Hyde said with no emotion in his voice.

"Steven listen to me. You don't understand." Jackie said.

"Jackie now's not the time. I have a warrant for your arrest. I think we should get going now." Hyde said.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked.

"It's my job Jackie." Hyde said.

"Steven, please listen to me. I was..."

"Jackie please let's just go. We can talk about this later." Hyde said.

"No, I'm not going anywhere until you let me explain what..."

"Jackie not now. Now please lets go don't make me do this the hard way." Hyde said.

"This is exactly what I'm talking about. You don't want to face facts." Jackie said.

"Jackie lets go." Hyde said.

"Why won't you just listen to me?" She asked.

"Jackie you're under arrest..."

"Steven wait; listen you have to...

"Anything you say can and will be...

Hyde kept on reading her, her rights. He walked towards her and she began to inch away from him. Lucas stepped in his way.

"Listen Mr. Hyde before you go through with arrest you have to know what's going on. I think you should listen to your wife." Lucas said.

"You really don't want to get more involved with this than you already are. You're already in enough trouble as it. You know if you want to help a murder suspect out, next time you should think about the consequences." He said.

"I'm not going to let you take her back to the station." Lucas said.

"Well, you really don't have a choice in the matter." Hyde said.

"Yes I do. If you take another step towards her, I'm going to have make you pay." Lucas said.

"You've already made me pay enough one day don't you think?" He asked.

"Listen that was just a big misunderstanding." Lucas said.

"I'm sure it was." Hyde said.

"Steven leave us alone." Jackie said.

"Excuse me Jackie?" He said in disbelief.

"You can't help me anymore. You have to let me go." Jackie said.

"I don't have to do anything. You have to come with me now." Hyde said.

"No Steven I'm not coming with you. I'm staying right here; you need to leave right now." She said.

"Jackie I'm not leaving here without you." He said.

"Steven that's fine by me. If you don't want to leave then I'll go and you can stay here." Jackie said.

Jackie then pulled out the gun that Lucas had given her. She pointed it at him and he stared at her with hurt in his eyes.

"Steven sit on the couch and don't move." Jackie said.

"Jackie what are you doing? If you do this you'll be in more trouble." Hyde said.

"Steven, I don't want to shoot you; but I'm not letting you take me back so. Just sit still and let me get out of here. As soon as I leave, then you can leave." Jackie said.

Hyde looked at her and her thought about it. If he let her go then he had a better chance of capturing her. He nodded his head at her and took a seat on the couch. She inched her way slowly out the door followed by Lucas. Lucas closed the door behind him and he motioned for Jackie to follow him.

Once they left the apartment, Hyde jumped out of his seat and removed his gun from his belt. He waited a few seconds before leaving; he didn't want to put anymore pressure on Jackie. She already wasn't thinking clearly when she pulled that gun out on him. He ran down the hall after them but he didn't see anyone. He ran down the other way but he didn't see anything either. He went to his car and put in a call to the station. The DA was put on the phone.

"Mr. Hyde we're dropping charges on Jackie Hyde. We don't need to find her anymore." She said.

"Yeah you do. She's still in danger; the killer is after her." Hyde said.

"Well, until she's found dead we really don't have to worry about her." DA said.

"Well, I'm going to find her." Hyde said.

"No, we need you to investigate the murders at the Kiriakis mansion." She said.

"Yeah but..."

"No buts Mr. Hyde." She said.

"Last time I checked you weren't my boss." He said.

"Last time I checked I could have your badge in a second." She said.

Hyde knew this to be true and he knew what he had to do. Hyde turned the car around and started to drive in the opposite direction. He was driving along when he felt someone attack him from the back. He struggled with them but to no avail. She was too quick for him. She punched him in the face and then she began to strangle him until he passed out. She pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out. She grabbed the rope she brought with her and tied him up. This was going to lead her right where she wanted. Jackie would in no way leave Hyde to die in the hands of the killer; she was certain of that.

Lucas and Jackie drove in silence. Jackie couldn't think straight. She was certain that she would never be able to save this marriage now. She wasn't even certain if she was going to make it out of this nightmare alive. Jackie heard Lucas's phone rang and she picked it up without out asking.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hey Jackie, can you guess who this is?" The killer said.

"What the hell do you want?" Jackie said.

"Well, you're lucky that you didn't get in the car with me." The killer said.

"What do you mean?" Jackie asked.

"Well Mr. Hyde and I are having a nice drive. I'm trying to decide on where I should drop his body." The killer said.

"What did you do to him?" Jackie asked.

"Why don't you come back to your house and find out." The killer said then hung up the phone.

"Lucas stop the car and go to my house." Jackie demanded.

"What...Why?" Lucas asked.

"Steven's in trouble. He needs our help." Jackie said.

Without any arguments, Lucas turned the car around and drove off to her house to save Hyde.
