Assignment: Joey Potter
Chapter 16
Author's note: Okay everyone. I think it's time for some decisions to be made and more conflicts added to this story.
"I went to college with her." Joey said in tears.
"Jo, What's the matter?"
"She was my other dorm mate. She was one of my friends."
"Ms. Potter. Do you think he is now tracking your friends?"
"I don't know."
"Could you tell us anymore information that I could use?"
"I can't think of any but there was one time when she thought someone was following her but she said it stopped."
"Okay. I'll look into that."
A important looking police officer burst into the room.
"We have Breath on the line. He wants to talk to you. We are trying to trace the call but it seems we can't. Will you take the call Mike?"
"Yes. Joey, Pacey, will you follow me?"
They both nodded. The three people briskly walked into the main office.
"Officer Mike Peters here."
"Yes. I was wondering if you found the little surprise I left you?"
"If you mean the body, yes."
"Good. I was hoping you'll find that."
"What do you want?"
By this time, all of the highest rank officers and detectives were listening in on the call. They keep scribbling things down and quietly talking among themselves.
"I was thinking that I wanted Joey Potter 2 hours early. Instead of Parkers, lets say Club Today."
Joey gasped in the background. She didn't want to go earlier. Pacey put an arm around her and tried to be of some comfort.
"No." Peters was being bold and everyone knew it.
"Did you just you no?" Breath asked in a sarcastic amazement tone.
"Yes." Now Peters was being too bold.
"Then I guess little Bessie is going to die a terrible death."
"NO!!!!!!!!" Joey screamed. Two men rushed over to her demanding her to be quiet. She kept screaming no. Pacey pulled her away from the cops.
"Is Josephine listening? I would love to talk to her" Breath said in his remarkable creepy voice.
"No" Peters said in a solid manor.
"Really because if she is and your lying..." David Breath said
."she's not here."
"Then who did I hear?"
"I WANT TO TALK TO BESSIE" Joey shouted. Now two other officers were pushing her out of the office. Pacey stood helplessly by watching the men and Joey.
"If Josephine will talk to me, I'll let her talk to Bessie for a minute." Breath declared. Peters and all the detectives were going over what he just said.
Being stubborn as always, Joey broke free of the men and walked over to the speaker phone.
"I'm here. Let me talk to Bessie first then I will talk to you." Peters and Pacey and probably all the people in the room stared at her for her straight- forward boldness.
"Why would I let you go first?"
"Because you'll have me in a few hours anyhow. Now I want my sister."
Being awakened by the force of light, Bessie tried to sit up. One muscular black-headed man grabbed her arm and heaved her with him out of the room.
"What are you doing" She asked frightened.
"Breath wants you in his office." Was his brief response.
"Why?"
"He has the police on the line. Joey wants to speak to you." Hearing Joey's name, Bessie burst in tears. She couldn't hold it in her anymore. At the thought of Joey in the hands of these monsters being killed was the worst thing a sister could think of.
"Will I be able to see her?"
"No."
"When will Joey get here?"
"Couldn't tell you. But probably tonight."
They were walking down the long cold corridor. Bessie tripped over a nail and fell down.
"Ohh.... It hurts!"
"get up" Ordered the man
"I can't. I think I broke it."
"Get up."
"Please.. I can't"
The guard roughly picked her off the ground and continued their journey to talk to Joey.
"I want to talk to her."
"Well, They should of came a couple minutes ago." Breath said angrily, wondering where Bessie and Wayne was.
Just then Michel Sawn burst into the room. He was Breath's main guy who picked the woman for him to kill.
"She's gone.!!!"
"What?"
"Bessie's gone. She's not in her room or in the hall. Wayne kidnapped her!"
Now everyone on the other line of the phone was listening to Breath and Sawn's words. Joey was shrieking in terror. Pacey had to take her out of the room.
"Pacey! I need Bessie!"
"Jo. Listen. We're going to find her. They probably just have her in a different room and they didn't look there."
"No. Please Pacey Let me go back in that room."
"No." Pacey said apolitically
A officer sprang out of the room where they had just been in.
"Witter. I need you in here now."
"Okay. One sec."
"No. I need you in there now."
"Pacey what's going on?" Joey asked worried that something bad happened to Bess.
"I don't know. Now you stay here okay." She nodded. Pacey rushed into the room where anybody else was.
"Why are we going in a car?" Bessie asked Wayne.
"Be quiet."
"No."
"Listen. If you be quiet. I can get you out of here."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean if you talk one more time. Breath will find us and have us both murdered. I am trying to get you safe."
Bessie kept her month shut the entire time until they were safely in the car and off.
