A/N: Five months after the terrifying ordeal that took place on the Red Eye, Jackson Rippner decides to check on his girl. Jackson/Lisa

Hi everyone! Happy almost Halloween! 'You make me wanna La La, in the kitchen on the floor. I'll be your French maid, when I meet you at the door.' I've got that song stuck in my head and it is driving me batty.

Thank you all for the reviews! Please keep it up!

Lisa sat on the floor watching Jackson while he worked in the dining room, which had become his makeshift office. He hadn't left the table for nearly two whole days and Lisa didn't really blame him for throwing himself into his work. Every time he took a break invariably she would start a fight with Jackson over his supposed betrayal.

Jackson was very sexy with his hair messed up from running his fingers through his hair possibly hundreds of times in the last 48 hours. His shirt was unbuttoned and wrinkled. He looked like a disaster and Lisa was tempted to lead him up to the bedroom for some make up time, but she didn't.

Getting up from the table he slammed a thick folder onto the floor, sending papers everywhere around the room. Lisa jumped and turned away, so he wouldn't catch her staring. Jackson was in the midst of destroying his dining room, when he caught Lisa watching curiously.

"What?" he demanded, his deadly blue eyes staring her down.

"Could you be anymore childish Jackson?" Lisa asked mockingly, gesturing to the disaster that was once the dining room.

"Funny Leese, you want to talk childish. The silent treatment has gotten old," Jackson snapped at her.

"You're the one who's avoiding me! You've thrown yourself into work to ignore me," Lisa accused pointing her finger at him.

"Believe it or not, Lisa, I actually still have to work. I don't have the luxury of playing house with you," Jackson growled at her.

"What about my job at the Lux Atlantic? I haven't shown up for work in nearly three weeks. I could be fired," Lisa yelled at Jackson, pushing him on his chest.

"Fine! Go to work, Leese. When a hit man kills you, I won't be there to protect you," Jackson yelled back at her, grabbing her arms and shaking her violently.

"You would enjoy that wouldn't you?" Lisa demanded.

"That's right, you are just a piece of ass," Jackson said with a sadistic smile.

"You disgust me," Lisa said slapping him across the face so hard her own hand hurt.

"You get off on it, Leese. After all you are the one who fucked me," Jackson said leering at her.

Lisa's eyes went wide at what Jackson had said. They had been fighting like this constantly and Lisa wanted it to stop, but the arguments started so suddenly and usually ended with one of the stomping off. Lisa was not going to let Jackson win this round of arguments.

Jackson was a professional and he could easily mask his hurt. Lisa would make cutting remarks and he seemingly brushed them aside, but it still wounded him. He had finally admitted his feelings for her, but now they couldn't seem to get along at all. Jackson had hoped that confessing his love would convince Lisa to forgive him. No such luck.

"You abducted me, I didn't even want to be with you," Lisa said with a smirk.

Grabbing Lisa and shoving her into the wall he curled his fingers around her neck. Not saying a word he just let her be intimidated by his glare. Pressing his body into hers, the sadistic smile returned to his lips. Lisa trembled a little in fear, but she tried to fight him off.

"I like it better when it hurts," Jackson said before assaulting her mouth with his own.

Her protests to the unwanted kiss were fierce, but Jackson ignored them. After savagely kissing Lisa for a seemingly endless amount of time, Jackson let her go and walked out of the room. Lisa slid to the floor weakly and tried to catch her breath.

Jackson stood under the showerhead trying to regain his composure. Lisa had really pissed him off during this last argument and he had barely stopped himself from doing something he was sure he would regret. Jackson had his arms braced on the wall his head down as the water poured down his back, relaxing the tense muscles.

"Jackson," Lisa said entering the bathroom.

"Go away Lisa," Jackson sighed; he should have locked the door.

"We're not finished talking yet," Lisa explained.

Before Jackson could react Lisa was on him, pushing his back against the warm tiles and kissing him as roughly as he had kissed her. She pressed her still clothed body up against his naked form. The showerhead that was still on was soaking Lisa, but she ignored it. Jackson wrapped his arms around Lisa reflexively.

"Lisa," Jackson managed to groan out.

"I don't want to fight with you anymore over James Bugler," Lisa said placing tiny kisses along his jaw.

"Me neither," he agreed, enjoying having her in his arms again.

"I should let you get back to your shower, I just wanted to tell you what was on my mind," Lisa said backing out of the bathroom.

Jackson smiled and stared at the ceiling. Lisa spoke his language when they were arguing, making it all the more fun.

Dad,

I know you are worried about me, but I have never been happier. I'm in love. I haven't told him yet, but I plan to when the moment is right.

Jackson is taking protecting and taking good care of me. There is a bad man after me and Jackson is the only one who can help me. I can't contact you directly or let you know where I am yet.

I just wanted to let you know that I am fine. And yes, I am sure.

Take care of yourself,

Lisa

Joe read the note over and over, trying to decide what to do. Lisa said she was fine, but how could he know for sure.

"Let's go over this again," Joe said to the young man that was tied up in his kitchen, "Where is Rippner keeping my daughter?" Joe asked.

"I don't remember," Shane said glaring at the older man.

"Where did you get this letter from then?" Joe asked waving the letter around.

"It was given to me," Shane replied with a crooked smile. Joe Reisert had caught Shane sneaking the letter into the mailbox in front of the house. He had been tied up and interrogated thoroughly for the last several hours. This was the last time he did any dames a favor.

"How did Lisa look when you saw her?" Joe asked.

"I never said she gave it to me," Shane replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Where is Lisa?" Joe yelled, punching Shane.

"She didn't say," Shane said with a grin as he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"That's it, I'm calling the police," Joe said walking to the phone.

"And what will you tell them? That you've been interrogating me and that is why I'm all bloody and bruised?" Shane questioned.

Joe shook his head in annoyance with the young man. Walking out of the room while he talked with the 911 operator, he gave the woman his address. He explained that he caught someone breaking into his home and that the young man had fought him. Then Joe waited for the cops to arrive.

"Mr. Reisert, you captured the man who broke into your home?" The first officer asked.

"Yes, tied up in my kitchen. He also has information about my missing daughter's whereabouts that he refuses to disclose to me," Joe replied leading them to the kitchen.

"Where is he, sir?" the second officer asked looking around the kitchen.

"He was right there," Joe explained.

There was only an empty chair where Shane had been tied up.

Hey this would be a great time to Review!

Thanks to everyone who reads and reviews. You guys are all awesome!

BregoBeauty: it seems like Jackson needed to kill someone, in my opinion. Didn't want any of my readers to think of Jackson as a softie.

Crystal: well Jackson didn't really get the chance to make it up to her. I didn't want Lisa to be all weak, after crying her heart out and then suddenly acting all happy go lucky.

Lana: Ah yes! I do enjoy playing with my readers' emotions. Makes reading more fun, in my opinion.

Dave-The-Laugh's-NewHotness: I agree, Jackson is sexy and I enjoy creating sexy scenes for my favorite couple.

Imshi: I agree with you. I have a terrible habbit of rushing a story when I get excited. And as you just read things were not so ok for them. Lisa was just emotionally drained at the end of the last chapter after crying for a whole day over Jackson. But I didn't explain it that well. I always appreciate constructive critism.

playnirvana24: thanks! I don't know how heartwarming this chapter was. I just really wanted some fighting, but I'd like to think I ended it on a good note.

Julia Reis: as you requested, suffering. I had too much fun with their fights.

StalkerDex: Thank you! You get brownie points.

be11011: thank you, glad to hear you like my story.

hell0sunshine: Thanks so much. Oooh! Cillian Murphy forum. Thanks for the info. God forbid I ever meet Cillian, I might steal him and use him for whatever wicked thoughts that I have.

You should Review! You know you want to. Just a simple mouse click. Yes. See now wasn't that simple? And I bet you feel great…
