How Could This Happen?

Author's Note: Another chapter! Yay! I don't think that I've ever updated a story so often and so quickly. I just might actually finish this one if I don't get the evil writer's block! Anyway, thanks for all the great reviews, and, possibly, flames:

BregoBeauty: I know! I hate them, but I love them. What to do…You'll find out who came in this chapter.

Angel Gemman: Thanks! I wanna be a writer when I can actually get around to finishing a story. Lol. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter.

PEROXIDE: thanks so much! I'm glad you like it!

Finngirl: no problem. I'm glad you like my story. I love them as a couple!

On with the story!

Chapter 5: The Intruder

Lisa looked up at who had burst in. She didn't know who it was, but she knew that it wasn't good.

"What are you doing here, Johnson?" Jackson asked angrily.

Lisa looked at Johnson. He had black hair, brown eyes, and looked to be about 6'0".

"Now, now, Rippner. Do you really have to ask that question?" Johnson asked, smirking. "I'm here to kill you."

Lisa's eyes widened in terror, and she looked at Jackson. "I thought that you said that they would stop."

Jackson sighed. "No, I didn't say that. I said that I didn't know, and that they might stop, or they might not. Apparently, the latter is true."

Lisa was horrified. God, not again! She thought. Hasn't he been through enough! What did he do to deserve this?

Johnson laughed. "Damn straight! We'll always be after you. You will die. I'm the best man this company has, since you got fired, and you killed Andrews."

Jackson laughed. "God, you must really suck then. Andrews was a hell of a lot worse than I was, so they must be getting really desperate if they sent you. You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!"

Johnson stopped laughing and glared at Jackson. "Okay, now you're asking for it!" He pulled a gun out of his pocket and aimed at Jackson.

Jackson had to get off the bed. He yelled "Screw this!" and yanked the oxygen tube off of his face. Then he ran at Johnson, yelling with fury.

Lisa watched in horror as the two men went at each other. She screamed at them to stop, but they didn't. She blinked, and the next thing she knew, Jackson had the gun and was pointing it straight at Johnson's heart.

"Now," Jackson began angrily, "you go back to the damn company, and tell them to stop fucking following me! If I get attacked or threatened in any way from any member of the goddamn company, I swear, I will march right in there and kill every fucking person that I see, regardless of whether or not they work for the company as an assassin. Do you fucking understand!" he yelled the last part.

"Yea, yea, sure." Johnson said, frightened. Lisa was surprised to see that a man as tough as Johnson could actually be scared. She smirked.

"Good. Now get your fucking ass out of here." Jackson said, kicking Johnson. Johnson got up quickly and ran out. Jackson sighed.

Suddenly, two doctors came running in. "What was that screaming and yelling we heard?" one of them asked, clearly annoyed.

"Oh, that. Well, um…you see, my girlfriend here was having a nightmare, and she was screaming in her sleep. I woke her up, and she yelled a bit before she woke up. That's all it was." Jackson said calmly.

"Are you sure? I heard a male voice yelling, too." the other doctor said, unsure.

Jackson nodded and smiled, hugging Lisa. "About that…um…she's a really deep sleeper, so I had to yell at her to wake her up. Other than that, we're fine. Sorry to concern you."

The two doctors looked at each other and shrugged and walked out.

"Whew." Jackson said after they had left.

"That was too close." Lisa said, laughing.

Jackson laughed and kissed her. "That's why we're so good at this."

Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming closer. "Shit!" Jackson said, and jumped into the bed, putting the oxygen tube on.

The doctor came in and Jackson sat up. "So, doc. Can I leave soon?" he asked.

"Well, you seem to be doing well enough. I think that you can." The doctor said, smiling. "You can leave later today."

Lisa sighed with relief. God, I really hope that nothing happens to us on the way home! She thought.

TBC…

Good, huh? I'll update as soon as I can. To clear up any confusion, the last part of the chapter took place about 3 days later.
