Part 21Sneaks didn't know what told her to do so but she went to the window and climbed up. Once she reached the roof she found Jack wide-awake with his feet dangling over the edge of the building.
"Jack" Sneaks hissed
He turned and looked at her.
"What are you doing here"
"I know where Gin is." She stated
"So do I." He muttered not taking his eyes from the street"Is she okay"
"She's okay. I guess. Whatever you said to her hurt her more than Creeper did."
Sneaks noticed Jack wince at the statement.
Sneaks walked up closer to him.
"I never should have said what I did." He muttered"I don't know what came over me. You know the pressure I have with getting together with Sarah. I was afraid to go against everyone else."
"She dumped you and that was against what everyone expected but it was her doing. Everyone was fine with that."
"Yeah but this was the chance to change it. Gin just got lost in the picture."
"The wedding is in two days" stated Sneaks
"Why are you telling me this" Jack half yelled
"She'll be lost for good in two days cause she wont live that long."
"Who"
"Who do you think"
"What are you talking about"
"She's taking a gun with her to the church. You know what she means to do with that as well as I do. She said that she would kill herself before she married that man and she meant it."
"Why would she do something like that"
"She loves you. She refuses to be with Heptson."
"But she's throwing away all that money and that power. That's what I lost Sarah over."
"She doesn't care about the money. She's not like Sarah."
"But I hurt her so bad."
"You may have hurt her but you didn't kill the love in her heart. She has been crying since they brought her home."
"What are we going to do"
"We"
"Yes we."
"So you've given up on Sarah."
"You heard."
"Somewhat. Through Gin's tears." Sneaks knew what she said was low but she couldn't help but defend Gin.
He had hurt her in a terrible way and Sneaks still didn't know what happened but Jack's head bowed and he looked to the floor showing her that he also hurt himself.
"That's not important now. What's important is that we have two days to get her back." Sneaks stated
"What are we going to do? This is different from getting a kid from the Refuge."
"Yeah. Who all knows that she's gone"
"Only Manhattan. I couldn't bare to send someone to talk to Sage. He's gotten awful protective of the girl."
"He's gonna find out sooner or later." Jack nodded his head.
"Well we have two days to figure it out. She said she's going shopping tomorrow. Maybe you could meet us at Central Park at the place you met her the first time."
"Alright."
"I'll try to get her there at 12:30"
"I'll be there."
Sneaks was about to leave but Jack's voice stopped her again.
"What about the two bodyguards"
"I'm hoping they'll trust her enough with just me but if not I'll try to lose them."
"Good luck"
"Same to you" she called
Sneaks disappeared over the roof and down to the street.
