Chapter 12: Caught
Jack Conner and Kenny Bruckheimer stood hammering at the door of Joe Malloy's apartment.
"Alright, I'm coming! Keep your pants on! Geez..." Joe yelled from behind the door. He unlocked it and let the two other men inside.
"Have you found out where she is yet?" Jack demanded angrily.
"Yes, actually." Joe said coolly.
"Well? Where is she then?" Jack yelled.
"Relax, I'll tell you. She's at the Bayview Area Women's Shelter. When you go to get her, don't tell them your real name. Tell them mine. She trusts me, and she'll think I came to get her and take her away." Joe suggested.
"Okay, thanks. Don't worry, your troubles will be rewarded soon, Joe. Goodbye." Jack said and turned to leave. Kenny followed.
They drove in silence to the Bayview shelter. They only exchange between the two men was that of excited glances every so often. They were going to show Alicia exactly what she had been missing. The same treatment Abby got. An occasional laugh was let out. They soon pulled up around the front of the building. Neither man noticed the various police cars and undercover cars parked in the alleys and around the corners of the shelter. Jack Conner pulled up outside of the shelter and got out of the car.
"Kenny, stay here and wait for me to get back. Get in the drivers seat so we can make a quick getaway." Jack instructed before closing his door.
He ran across the sidewalk and up the front steps of the building. He walked inside and noticed it looked a little like a cross between a run down hotel and a hospital of sorts. Oh well, I'll bet since they're service is free, they can't afford to keep the place tidy he thought to himself. He walked up to the front desk. The receptionist looked up.
"Can I help you sir?" She asked politely.
"Yes, I'm Joe Felicitas. I heard a close friend of mine was here, and I thought maybe she'd want to meet me. Can I talk to her?" Jack asked in a false voice. It sounded close to Joe's, as if he had a cold though.
"Sure. What's the name?" The receptionist questioned.
"Alicia Conner." He replied.
"Just a second." She said and picked up the phone. She dialed an extension and told the person on the other side that 'Joe' wanted to talk to her. A few seconds later, the receptionist handed Jack the phone.
"Here you go." She smiled. Jack took the receiver.
"Hi Alicia, Its Joe! Great to hear from you! Are you alright? I came as soon as I heard! Want to come out and meet me for a while? Alright, I'll wait out front for you then! What? No, I'm fine, just a bit of a cold! Alright, see you in a minute, bye!" He said and hung up the phone.
"Thank you." He said to the receptionist.
"No problem, have a good day!" She said.
Jack turned and walked towards the front door. He smiled in spite of himself. He was so happy he didn't even notice the ten or so security guards that had followed him towards the door.
"Freeze, Conner!" One of them yelled. Jack was startled. He turned around. Oh shit! He thought.
He turned towards the front door and ran out. He looked towards his car, which was already being attached to a tow truck. What was worse, there were about twenty cop cars parked around it. Kenny was being loaded onto a gurney a few meters away from the car, they brought out a body bag. They killed him. Jack ran down the sidewalk, tackling officers out of his way. He jumped over a fire hydrant and ran between some squad cars. There were at least thirty cops chasing him. He was running despite the yells of stop, stop or we'll shoot! Coming from the officers. Surely they couldn't shoot him for raping Abby! Just as her pondered the thought, Jack fell onto the sidewalk. Everything went black...
A.N.: I know it's short! I'm not very creative when it comes to chase scenes. Is Jack alive? Will he be taken to County? Find out in the next chapter! I promise it will be a LOT longer! Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, I appreciate the motivation. I need more, though so keep it up! Love my readers! Julia
