Chapter 3

The following takes place between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM.

Events occur in real time.

6:00 AM

Tony was fiddling with Jacks' seatbelt trying to get him free. He was still unconcious, which was starting to concern Tony, he thought maybe he should try and wake him. He then decided he would once he got the seat belt off of him, which seemed to be jammed. He yanked against the belt, but nothing happened.

Jay was just sitting outside the car, staying silent, running his fingers in the dirt. He was scared, and for good reason. He wondered if his step father was alright, he did catch a glimpse of him before the Tony person ushered him out of the car and told him to stay put. Jay listened obediently.

Tony pulled out his pocket knife and finally just cut threw the seat belt, as the seat belt self recoiled back to its normal place. With this release Jack awoke. His head jerked and he almost hit Tony's head with his own. He scanned the area with his eyes as he coughed some.

"Jack...Jack Can you hear me?" Tony asked putting his hands on Jacks' head and keeping it straight, just incase he has a neck injury.

"Wheres Jay?" He asked immediatly. Tony sighed in relief.

"Hes outside, hes okay" Tony said starting to work a way to try and get Jack out of the car, He was still rather stuck at the moment, his door wouldnt open since it is slightly wrapped around the tree trunk. Jack coughed some leading over on the wheel, closing his eyes, he had a major headache, and his chest felt like it was on fire, and it hurt to breathe. He coughed some, trying to take deep breathes, but all he could take were shallow weak ones, making him sound raspy. He figured the airbag or the impact of the crash had broken at least 1 or 2 of his ribs. God, he was tired though. How could he be so tired after sleeping most of the night? he thought to himself, wanting to drift into dream land.

"Stay awake Jack, I am going to get you out of here..." Tony said patting Jacks' shoulder gently, Jack opened his eyes slightly, watching Tony trying to readjust his seat so he could pull Jack out of the car.

6:15 AM

Chloe was sitting having some nice breakfast by herself in the kitchen of her parents' house. They had gone up to the cabin so she had their house all to herself, aside from her parents border collie, named Jack.(A/N: mav...MAV...sound fimilar? lol)

She finished her piece of toast and went outside to grab the newspaper. She grabbed it looking at the cover, nothing out of the ordinary. She then suddenly heard a gun shot ring out, she nearly jumped 2 feet off the ground in shock. She dived into her front door to meet a man dressed in all black. She was about to turn around when another man showed up behind her back, they both grabbed her and brought her inside the house. One held her as the other prepared a silencer on the hand gun.

Chloe paniced and struggled against them, they werent expecting this much strength coming from a woman such as Chloe, and she managed to get out of their grasps. She ran threw the house, as they chased her firing bullets. One clipped her arm, and she stumbled a bit, but then managed to dive into a closet locking herself in. She heard foot steps outside, as they passed her.

6:30 AM

Michelle was getting ready to go out on another adventurious day of touring France with her cousin. Today would be a day they would go to Paris, to do some 'light' shopping, but it wouldnt be light, for the fact that her cousin was a shop-aholic. Michelle was just about to walk out to the car when her phone rang. She picked up her cell phone, reading the caller ID, it was chloe. Why was Chloe calling her? She wondered. Then it came to her, Tony told chloe that she could call him or her if she needed anything, or was in any danger. She quickly flipped the phone open.

"Chloe?" She asked.

"Michelle!" Chloe was hysterical sounding.

"Chloe whats wrong? What happened?" Michelle asked, now slightly concerned. Yes Michelle really didnt like Chloe that much, but she was the only other one aside from Tony, Jack, and Palmer that was involved in the 'incident'.

"There was an intruder...he tried to kill me!" Chloe yelped in her hysterics.

"Just calm down, where are you?" Michelle asked.

"In the closet of my parents house, I think the man left." Chloe said.

"Get out of there, Right away!" Michelle ordered.

"Okay..." Chloe whimpered.

"Ill come to Toronto..." Michelle sighed trying to comfort chloe.

"Okay...I think i should hang up now...Bye" Chloe said, then hung up the phone. Michelle hung up as well then took the car, heading to the nearest airport, hopefully being able to get a flight to Toronto quickly.

6:50 PM

Tony was still working on trying to get Jack out of the car, he hadnt had much success though. He was coaching Jack to stay awake, he seemed to be dazing in and out from time to time. Pain was evident on his face. Jack just wanted to tell Tony to shut up and let him sleep, but he knew he shouldnt. Tony then finally realized the problem, Jacks' legs were pinned in the car, they were pinned in such a way that the wouldnt be freed without ripping the car apart. Tony knew he couldnt do that just here. He needed help.

"Stay awake Jack" Tony said then moved out of the car. He looked over to Jay and moved to him.

"Can you stay with your step father, make sure he doesnt fall asleep, while i go get some help?" Tony asked him. Jay was instantly more concerned them before. He had just sat there for basicallt the better part for an hour and now the Tony person said he needed help. He didnt pull his step father out, why couldnt he? He started to cry silently.

"Dont worry, Ill be back soon" Tony tried to cheer the boy up. "Can you do this for me though?" He asked again. Jay hesitated for a moment the nodded slowly. Tony lead him to the car, and sat him down on the passenger side. Jack smiled weakly at Jay, as he was watching him with big eyes. Jay was really freaked out now.

"Just make sure he doesnt fall asleep Jay" Tony said again, then he went off to walk to the town he had saw while they had passed awhile ago, just before the crash.

"Dad?" Jay whimpered as he started to cry again. Jack frowned slightly moving his hand slowly to the boys' face and wiping the tears from his eyes.

"Everything...will...be...fine" He spoke slowly, as he was really tired, and he could barely comprehend anything. He just felt the exhaustion and the pain as he leaded his chest against the steering wheel.
