Jack was laying in bed he couldn't sleep knowing Karen was outside in the world alone, he looked over to where Karen should have been, laying next to him but she wasn't. He got up and walked over to the window,

'Oh Karen where are you?' he said to himself, he then looked up to the moon which was only half full like him, he felt that half of him was missing it was always Jack and Karen not just Jack he thought to himself he smiled at the irony then looked back out the window, this was how he spent the rest of the night.

The next morning it was about 8am when Jack went over to Will and Grace's,

'Take it no sign of her?' Grace asked Jack

'Nope nothing, we need to phone the police what if something has happened to her' Jack said

'Ok Jack we will but I don't think they will do much' will said

'Oh my god' Jack said all of a sudden

'What?' Grace asked

'Simon, what if one of Simon's mate has her' Jack said, Will then realized that he hadn't told anyone that Simon wasn't in prison

'Jack that's not possible' Grace replied

'Yes it is Grace' will said looking at her

'What do you mean?' Grace asked

'Oh god' Will said putting his head in his hands

'What is it will?' Jack asked

'I didn't tell none of you because I didn't want to worry you, but Simon well…..he isn't in prison'

'WHAT' Jack said standing up

'He was released on bail but had a restraining order on Karen'

'And you didn't tell us this' Jack said

'I didn't want to worry you lot, I didn't want Karen looking over her back every two minutes' Will said standing up

'So wait now you are telling me that Simon could have her' Jack said but Will didn't say anything 'We have to find her, he'll do anything to her' Jack said while the colour drained from him 'I'm going to be sick' Jack said running in the bathroom, he and the other two knew Karen wouldn't be safe if Simon had her.

'I'll call the police' will said picking up the phone.

In the cellar, Karen was laying there, while Simon was walking around talking,

'You know when I was a kid I wasn't very popular, you know bullied at school and at home my dad would beat me up everyday but he still loved me even though it hurt' he said then sat next to Karen 'See me and you aren't that different after all, well except you had a perfect life before I came and ruined for you' he looked down at her and started crying 'I didn't mean to hurt you Karen I wanted you but you didn't feel the same, I mean your pretty, your strong and confident everything that I wanted to be, and I wanted to be with you but you ruined it like you ruin everything'

'That's right Simon your weak, all you know is how to hurt people, you are so evil, how can you except anyone to love you' Karen cried to him

'Your right there, you know when I was a kid I would lock myself in my room and pray that one day I'll escape my life, escape my evil father I'll find a better one, I'll become a successful business man with money and have a girl a pretty girl, and Karen when I saw you I knew you were that girl I dreamt of every night'

'Then why did you treat me like shit' Karen hissed at him

'Because you didn't feel the same, but once I've finished with you, you will' he said rubbing her arm, Karen closed her eyes she didn't want to know what was going to come to her, Simon then stood up and walked around,

'Now look at us I'm the strong powerful one, and you're the weak one' he said then picked up his mobile and dialled a number

'Hello Colin it's Simon I have a letter here I need you to post through Jack McFarland's door…..yep ok bye' Simon said hanging up

'You leave Jack alone' Karen said

'Oh have I found your weak spot' he said smiling

'Just leave him out of this, you've hurt him enough'

'Oh yea Paul, that was a good plan, so tell me was Jack interested in me at all'

'He wouldn't be interested in you in a million years just like everyone else in your life no one will ever love you including your father'

'HOW DARE YOU, YOU BITCH' Simon said lean over her grabbing her neck 'NO ONE BUT NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT MY DAD YOU GOT THAT'

Karen nodded, and he let go.

It was about an hour later, Will, Grace and Jack had just finished giving their statements to the police.

'I wish I could find her' Jack cried 'If Simon has her then…then' Jack couldn't finish, Will leant over and hugged him

'Come on lets go out looking' Will said to them

'Yea ok' Grace said as they went out looking for Karen.

Colin had been watching them to see if Jack left the building and with a bit of luck he saw then walk out, he waited in the car for a bit longer before getting out and posting a letter to Jack.

Hours later all three came back to the apartment it was now 7pm and was raining but worst of all they came home minus Karen.

'Look guys Im going to go' Jack said

'Are you sure? Don't you want to stay here?' Will asked

'No I just want to be alone'

'Ok but Jack promise us you wont go back out tonight' Grace said, Jack hesitated for a bit 'Yea ok promise' he said goodbye and walked into his apartment, as did, he stepped on the letter, he looked down then picked it up and read it, it was a poison pen letter saying: Karen says Hi love Paul sorry I mean Simon

Jack looked at it for a bit before going to will's

'Jack what's up?' will asked as he entered the apartment

'This was posted through my door' he handed it to will who read it then gave it to Grace to read

'I don't understand' Grace said

'Nor do I will what does it mean?' Jack asked

'I don't know, I really don't know'

'What has Paul got to do with Simon?' Grace asked, they were all silent for a bit trying to think, what did this letter mean

'Oh my god' Jack said breaking the silence 'Paul he has to be someone to do with Simon'

'What like a spy or something' Grace said

'Yea, so if Simon and Paul have got her we had better hurry up and find her, we know what Simon is like but Paul we have no idea what he can be like' Jack said starting to panic

'Ok but where do we find them?' will asked

'Oh my god the cellar' Jack said

'What cellar?' Grace asked

'Yesterday I followed Paul and he went down this old pub's cellar' Jack explained

'Well come lets go, Grace phone the police' will said

'No wait I don't think we should and I think I should go alone' Jack said

'Jack….' Grace started but was interrupted

'Listen if we all go then we could create a whole big scene and could make matters worst, but if I go I could talk to Paul get information'

'Jack your being stupid this isn't time for you to be playing super hero's these are dangerous men'

'Don't you think I don't know that'

'Right then we call the police' Will said

'No I can talk to him; you don't know him like I do'

'Jack you've been out with him for 3 days and already he has caused trouble'

'Look I don't care what you say I'm going to go Karen is some where and I'm going to find her' Jack said and walked out the door

'Jack' will called after him

'Will phone the police' Grace said.

Jack ran out of the building it was dark and the rain was coming down heavy, he didn't care he just wanted to find his best friend. He ran through the streets and into the park, he was running through the park when he tripped over he quickly got himself back up but he felt pain in his right ankle when he stepped on it

'Shit' he said, he moved his foot so he knew it wasn't broken, he started running again first slowly because of the pain but he quickly picked up the pace when he thought of Karen.

He ran a bit further until he saw the pub insight he slowed down and jogged round to the back where he was the cellar doors, beside the cellar he saw a red car he recognized it, it was Paul's or at least who he though was Paul.

Jack didn't know weather to go straight in or creep in, he thought for a minute then realised for everyone's safety to creep in, and he walked over and very carefully tried to lift up the cellar door, it opened slightly Jack didn't want to barge right in he wanted to creep in.

In the cellar Simon and Karen were unaware Jack was opening the door creeping in.

'It's time Karen' Simon said walking over to her

'What for' Karen hissed, he sat on top of her and pulled down the zip on his trousers , Karen closed her eyes she knew this time he would, she felt his hands go on her stomach as he bent down and kissed her neck slowly moving down to her chest.

Jack had just managed to open the door, when he saw Simon on top of Karen, he jumped down the steps

'HAY YOU BASTARD GET OFF HER' He screamed, he ran up to them and punched Simon him off

'Jack' Karen cried

'It's ok Karen' Jack said untying her when Simon got up his nose was bleeding

'You' he hissed

'Paul how could you' Jack hissed back, grabbing on to Karen

'I'm not Paul, I'm Simon April fools' he said in his normal voice smirking

'He tricked us Jack it was Simon all along' Karen cried

Jack got up but as he did Simon went for him, he knocked him to the floor

'JACK' Karen cried grabbed him

'I'm ok' he said hoarsely

'And as for you' Simon went to hit her, but she dogged out the way and punched him in the privates and he fell to the ground

'Quick Karen lets get out of here' Jack said pulling Karen to the steps, but Simon grabbed Jack

'JACK' Karen called back

'GET OUT KAREN' he called back

'I can't leave you'

'JUST GO' he shouted at her, she ran up the stairs and outside calling Jack.

Jack was struggling to get out of Simon's grasp, they started fighting Simon was punching Jack in the stomach, when Jack all of a sudden punched him in the face causing him to fall Jack then kicked him a few times in the stomach, Jack ran out grabbing Karen

'Come on' he said, they started running as Simon got in the car and followed them, he got a out of the glove compartment, he then undone his window and fired, Jack dived onto Karen causing them to fall behind a parked car

'You ok?' he asked Karen looking down at her

'Yea you, I'm so sorry Jack' she cried

'Hay….hay it's ok come on' He picked Karen up and they ran through the rain holding hands, it wasn't long before they heard a car come screeching up behind them, Jack looked back

'IT'S HIM RUN' He shouted they carried on running, Simon started getting caught behind other cars, he was trying to weave between them.

Jack and Karen ran up the road and onto the bridge over the Manhattan River. Simon came tearing up the road when all of a sudden he lost control of the car he tried turning the Steering wheel but it locked, he slammed down on the brakes but the car skidded out of control and went up onto the pavement and crashed into the railings. Jack and Karen watched as the car went flying into the River. They just stood there watching the car sinking but they couldn't see Simon at all the rain was hitting the roof of the car as it sank.

'Oh Karen' Jack said hugging her tightly

'He's gone….His really gone' she whispered hugging him even tighter

'It's ok' he whispered 'It's all ok now'.

A few passer bys who saw the car go in the river called the police, while Jack and Karen stood there holding each other tightly not speaking just looking into the water. Twenty minutes later the police and ambulance arrived some of the passer bys pointed out it was Jack and Karen he looked like he was after, paramedics came over to give them blankets, they wanted to take them to the hospital

'No I'm fine' Karen said

'But that is some nasty looking cuts and bruising'

'No we'll be fine' Jack said

'Ok but go to your doctor tomorrow'

'We will' Jack replied as the paramedics left 'Come on lets get you home'

'No you go I want to see if he is really gone' Karen replied

'I'm not leaving you' Jack said looking down at her, she looked up at him and smiled as he wrapped his arms tightly round her 'I'm so sorry Karen, so sorry' he whispered

'It's not your fault Jack, I don't blame you' she whispered back, they stayed cuddled up watching the police divers trying to find Simon.

Ten minutes later they saw the police divers carry out a body Karen rushed over to them followed by Jack. As they got there they saw it was Simon's body on the ground,

'May you burn in hell' Karen hissed then she turn to Jack 'I want to go home now'

'Come on' he said taking her home 'we'll get the police to take us, but they want to talk to us tomorrow'

'That's ok' she said smiling at him, and then they both walked away without looking back.
