Martin and Sam looked up as Danny came up to their sides. "Where's Jess?" Martin asked him.
"She went off to stay at a cousin's house," Danny reported, causing both agents to look into the files. "She said that it would be safe there."
"Found it," Martin said, as he and Sam got to their feet, grabbed their coats, and headed off. "Jack, we might have found where she's going."
"Then get going," Jack replied. "Danny, you got that trace on Jesse's cell phone yet?"
"I'm on it, Jack." Danny then got to work.
Sara was terrified with all that was going on. She had been shocked when Jesse had actually showed up and terrified when to see that she was on the same side as this maniac Bubba. She had thought that she knew plain Jesse through and through, and now she realized that she didn't.
It was late, when Jesse woke her up. Sara backed away from her with fear in her eyes. "Easy," Jesse said, as she bent down next to her and cut her free from the rope that had her tied up. "I'm not going to hurt you, Sara."
"You're working with that man," Sara hissed as she got to her feet and looked at Jesse. "How can I trust you?"
"You're going to just have to for now," Jesse said, as she looked around. "We're getting out of here."
"We? Aren't you gonna stay here with you friend?"
"Not, if I can't help it." Jesse then grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the door. "Come along Miss Amster. You're a bit heavy to carry."
"Fine, I'll come with you, but you have a whole lot of stuff to make clear when we get out of this."
"Fine." Jesse opened a door and they found themselves in an alleyway. "Now let's find us a car." Jesse found one parked not that far from them and broke the window. "This will do."
"You're stealing a car?" Sara asked her, as she watched her open the door for her. "I can't go with you."
"Sara Amster, get in the bloody car," Jesse said, as a loud noise caught her attention. "Now. You have two choices, come with me or stay here with Bubba. And I think that he has a liking for you." Sara quickly got in the car and she smiled. "That's my girl."
"Um, Shepherd, we have a problem." Jesse shot her a concerned look. "There's no keys. How are we going to start it?"
"No problem." Jesse reached under the dash and pulled out a section of wires. "I can hot wire about any car in the world."
"Who are you?" Sara asked Jesse, as she began to hot wire the car. "Where did you learn how to do that?" She shot a glance back to see if Bubba or the others were following them.
"My father taught me," Jesse replied as the car started. "Let's go before we have to play with Bubba's friends." She then pulled out onto the street and headed for the nearest highway, heading off for the safe house she had told Martin about. "It's going to be okay." She shot a glance over at Sara to see that she had a scared look on her face. "Don't worry, we'll be okay."
"This is just so not the norm for me," Sara said, as she shot Jesse a look. "I guess I'm just taken back with all of this."
"Most people are." Jesse turned a corner and slammed on the brakes, as they saw that a trailer was blocking the road. "That's not nice." She put the car in reverse and they took off in another direction. "But I'm used to it by now. I grew up around guys like Bubba and had them always around me while I was growing up."
"How did you come to working for my Father?" Jesse shifted the car and they sped along in silence. "Jesse, tell me."
"I got busted by an F.B.I. agent when I was trying to boost his car." She ran a hand through her hair. "I grew kinda attached to him and then saved his life when my father had them kidnaped. I was one of the people who put my own father into jail."
"And since then you turned from evil to good."
"Yeah." Jesse pulled up in front of a abandoned builiding. "Come on."
"Why are we here?"
"Well for starters, we're in a stolen car, and I need my baby." Sara then followed Jesse into the building to see a black truck. "There she is." She unlocked the doors and shot Sara a smile. "Let's go. We got to get to that Safe House and let them know that you're okay."
"Okay." She got in and they took off for the Safe House. "Where are we going?"
"To my cousin's house." Jesse pulled into a long drive way and a two story house came into view. "Ah, there it is." She put her truck in park and got out. "Home Sweet Safe Home."
"Are we going to be safe here?" Sara asked, as she looked around, as the door opened and a pair walked out. "Who are they?"
Jesse's face lit up when she recognized Martin and Sam standing on the porch. "Those are my friends." She shot them a smile as they came up to their sides. "Sarah, I want you to meet Martin and Sam, my Guardians." They shot Sara a smile, as she shivered from the cold air and Martin slipped his coat off and placed it on her shoulders. "Guys, this is Miss Sara Amster."
"We've got dinner in the house," Sam said, as she slid an arm around Sara's shoulders. "Why don't you tell me about your little adventure, while Martin and Jesse have a tiny chat."
"It was horrible," Sara began, as they went into the house, leaving Jesse alone with the F.B.I. Agent.
"I see that you found this place okay," Jesse said to Martin, as she went back to her truck and took out a large duffel bag. She turned to see that Martin had tensed and was looking past her. She quickly dropped her bag and took out her gun from it and looked through her truck's window to see an elderly lady coming up the driveway. "Do you think she's good or evil?"
