Ahhhh - About the sex thing, Yeah, they probably would have. But its not like the kid was going to walk in. Mike only came in because he had a key to the apartment. But you can't tell me that your parents haen't had sex while you were in the house. My brother actually walked in on them one time. I'm sure as hell glad it wasn't me. Um..yeah, back on track. They would have had sex if Mike didn't come in. But they were apart for five years! Lots of emotion there. Oh, and thatnks for being the first reviewer of Chapter 10.

Hikegan-sama- I'm sure you are a good writer. Just put your mind to it.

And a special thanks to all of the other people who reviewed Chapter 10: LlamaDuck, nikki007, rubberband11, Koizak, sassystar678, metamorphosis00, siriusforeva, AxLoverCassie, and iluvmybeagle.

Chapter 11

"Ms. Mastriani, I think you might want to see this," said one of the officers who came to investigate at the garage.

"Fine," I said in an aggravated tone. I already saw the damn knife in the office, which was exactly the same as the other one.

I followed the officer into the office and he handed me a piece of paper. I took it and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the writing was 'Oh, not another one'

I read the note and this is what it said:

Lightning Girl,

Have you thought about my offer yet, my dear?

If you don't decide soon, someone you know is gonna die.

You know what I look like, so find me.

Sincerely,

Your Old Pal

Yourold pal? What the hell was that supposed to mean? Then, something that Krantz had said earlier hit me. Do you recognize the name Jessica? The name. Oh my god! His name, his real name, was not Tim Shunt, it was James Bloomfield. That was the guy who threatened me years ago. That was the guy that was wanted in over 40 countries. That was the guy that took so many innocent lives. And now he wants to kill me.

That was when Rob walked in. He saw the note in my hands and probably noticed that my hands were shaking and that my face had considerably paled. He rushed over to me and just as I was about to fall over from shock, he caught me.

I think he read the note because a minute later, he was stroking my hair and saying things like "Oh Jess, no..." and "Jess, don't worry, we'll get over this."

I may have been in shock and isolated from the outside world, but inside I was succumbed in my thoughts. Then I thought of Kia. KIA!

"Rob!" I said, snapping out of it. I think I may have startled him a bit, if him nearly falling out of his chair was any sign. "Rob, where's Kia?"

He looked at me and then replied to my question. "She's in the other room with the other officer." What a specific answer...

"I need her Rob." I said.

He nodded and got up and out of his chair. He took my hand and pulled me to my feet. We walked into the 'other' room and found a police officer tied to the chair and gagged. He had many abrasions on his arms and face. I looked all around for Kia and found her nowhere. Then, on a rickety, old desk in the corner, there was a piece of paper. Is that...? No, it can't be Jess. I tried to reassure myself, but as I picked the paper up and read what was written there, I felt my whole world fall apart.

Lightning Girl,

You are a very difficult woman to get a hold of.

You are also very difficult to convince.

So, I am deeply sorry for taking your precious baby, but there was no other way to make you come to me.

If you don't come, she'll die.

Believe it or not, sweetheart, you are in a life or death situation.

Yours Truly,

Jimmy

When I finished it, the first thought that came into my mind was 'Who the hell is Jimmy?' Then, all my recent discoveries came back to me. Jimmy, James Bloomfield, was going to kill my baby girl - my pride and joy - my life.

I vaguely remember Rob taking the note from me and then picking em up and carrying me to a car.

ThenI heard sirens in the distance.

Then voices that seemed oddly familiar but I couldn't quite place them.

"She's in shock."

"Oh dear. He took her daughter?"

"Yeah. And he tied up, gagged, and beat a cop."

"My lord, this is serious. She is the only one who can help her...and you."

"What?"

"Don't you see, its only a matter of time before he comes after you too. He obviously knows how much she cares for you."

"Oh...but how can she help us? I mean, what can she do?"

"The visions Mr. Wilkins. Jessica says that her powers haven't been functioning correctly now. She says that she is getting nothing on this guy. There is obviously something in her past with him."

That was when I woke from my trance - a.k.a. shock - and realized who the voices were - Rob and Dr. K.

"Jess?"

"Rob? What's going on?"

"Jess, they are taking you to a safe house." WHAT!

"WHAT! NO! Its me he wants Rob! I'm not just gonna let him kill my daughter. She means the world to me Rob. I'm not gonna let anything happen to her. I'm her mother, I'm supposed to protect her and now look what happened!" I screamed. I felt warm tears running down my face. Great, I was crying.

"Jess, honey, calm down. Just listen to me. We'll get through this together, okay baby?"

I nodded, but I still couldn't just sit back and watch some lunatic torture my baby.

"Rob, I can't. If i don't go, he's gonna kill her. This isn't some amateur. He obviously knows what he's doing. He's a serial killer, Rob!"

He sighed. "I know, Jess. The thing is, I don't wanna see you get hurt. Ican't see you get hurt." He said the last part mostly to himself.

"I'm sorry Rob, but I have to do this." I said in a low whisper. I didn't want him mourning over me if i got killed.

He just looked me in the eye and said in as equally a quiet tone as mine, "Then I'm coming with you."

He can't! I was just about to voice this opinion when he put a finger to my lips and whispered, "No buts, I'm coming with you no matter what. There's nothing you can do or say to make me change my mind."

I just nodded. I knew i wasn't winning this argument, so I didn't make an attempt to.

Rob and I talked with Krantz for a while, trying to come up with a course of action. We did make a plan - and a pretty good one too - but the only problem was that I didn't know where the guy was and my powers seemed to have gone on a hiatus.

That was when something weird happened.

Krantz had shown me the knife again. For some odd reason, I had wanted to see the knife again. In fact, I demanded to see it because Krantz said no the first few times I asked him. When he finally got it out and showed it to me, I ran my fingers along the lighting bolt shaped blade. This is the freaky part: As I was running my fingers along the blade, I got a vision. And suddenly, I knew where little Jimmy was.

Now all you need to do is review!
