A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. Also special thanks to amandathevampirelove for helping with this chapter. Here's the confrontation everyone's been waiting for.

Jackson picked up the phone and quickly dialed Lisa's home phone number. If he hadn't been so inept at taking care of young children he would have held off on calling Lisa so soon.

Lisa was pacing in her kitchen when the phone rang and made her jump. "Hello" she said hesitantly.

Jackson's voice was smooth over the phone. "Hello Leese."

"When can I get Lexi back. What do you want me to do?" she asked. Knowing now from his previous call that this was about her.

He chucked darkly. "When you start paying attention and listening to what I say.

I'm ready to listen now. I just want my daughter back." Lisa would allow Jackson to think he was in control if it meant getting her daughter back safely.

He spoke calmly, but there was menace in his voice. "Listen to me Leese, I'm not stupid. You just go outside and talk a walk," he gave a short pause, "Alone. When you're nice and outside, I'll find you. We'll talk then."

Landon was in the bedroom but he swore he heard Lisa mentioned Lexi's name. "Lisa, who's on the phone?" Lisa cupped her hand over the receiver. "No one important I just have to leave the house for a little bit." Landon didn't plan on letting Lisa go anywhere by herself. He left to go get changed and Lisa brought the phone back to her ear. "If I come meet you you promise you won't hurt Lexi and you'll give her back to me?" she knew he had told her he never lied but she still wasn't sure whether she should trust him.

"I promise everything will be how it's supposed to be." he said reassuringly.

"Tell me again why I should trust you?" Lisa asked. She knew deep down why she was trusting him. He had her daughter and he was the only person standing between her and getting her back.

"Because I have Lexi and I think you want her back." His voice turned cold. " and because I've never lied to you, have I?"

"No, you haven't and yes, I do want her back. How exactly do you plan on finding me if I'm just walking though? She questioned him. Maybe Jackson hadn't thought his plan through as much as he thought he did.

He gave a short laugh. "Think if who you're talking to Leese. See you later." He paused, and then said menacingly. "And if there are any police..." He said making a tsking sound. "You won't like the results." With that last statement he hung up the phone.

She hung up the phone wondering what to do. Of course she wanted her daughter back. But going by herself seemed a little dangerous but she knew better than to make Jackson mad. "Landon, I'm going out for a walk. I'll be back later" she yelled towards the bedroom where the door was now shut. Landon would wait until she left and then would follow her to make sure she was safe.

Lisa grabbed her cell phone in case she needed it and left the apartment quickly. Every step she took she couldn't help but keep looking over her shoulder. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched by him. Landon left the apartment shortly after Lisa and followed her down the street catching up to her at the corner.

"Landon, why did you follow me? You need to listen to me. This is important you need to go back to the apartment and wait. You can't be seen with me." Landon was confused by what Lisa was telling him but he wasn't going to just leave Lisa by herself.

Jackson hung up with Lisa and debating what he was going to do with Alexis. He couldn't just leave her by herself but he also couldn't take her with him. He didn't need to be distracted by trying to watch a three year old when he met Lisa.

His only option he decided was to call an associate and have them watch Alexis. All they would have to do would be go back to bedroom and check on her periodically to make sure she was fine and was staying out of trouble.

His associate arrived promptly after he called him which was a good thing since he was already growing tired of waiting to go meet Lisa.

Jackson had the associate sit down on the couch while he explained some ground rules to follow while he was gone.

"Rule number one you don't touch her. Got it? Rule number two make sure she stays out of trouble and you check on her periodically. Rule number three you don't let anyone into the house. Anything should happen I left the number you can reach me at in the kitchen. Think you can handle that?"

The man sitting on the couch nodded in response to his question.

"Good. I'll be back shortly." he reassured and left the house

Lisa and Landon continued walking to a destination unknown to them. Lisa had been unable to convince Landon that it would be best for him to go home. There conversation came to a halt when car pulled up beside them and stopped. Jackson exited his car and Lisa could feel her heart stop for a minute.

"I distinctly remember telling you to come alone, did I not Leese?" Jackson asked slamming his car door shut.

"He followed me" Lisa tried to explain.

"Who is this guy Lisa? Would like to fill me in on what's going on?" Landon asked confused by what was taking place.

"Landon this is Jackson, Alexis's father." Lisa replied casually. She hoped if she acted like it wasn't a big deal herself Landon would keep his cool.

"You, you're the guy." Landon spat wanting to kill the guy standing in front of him. Lisa grabbed a hold of his shirt in and effort to restrain him. She knew how dangerous Jackson could be and wasn't about ready to let Landon get hurt. "How dare you touch my wife." Landon yelled.

"Lisa is mine and always will be." Jackson responded back.

"I hate to break it to you but Lisa is my wife and she loves me and only me." Landon replied pushing Lisa behind him to protect her from Jackson.

"I guess Lisa didn't tell you about my phone call."

Landon turned around to face Lisa. "What phone call is he talking about Lisa?"

"The one where he said I was supposed to meet him if I wanted to get Alexis back."

"You mean he has Alexis. Why didn't you tell the police Lisa? They would have been able to help us." He was upset that his wife withheld this important information.

"I didn't tell you because the police wouldn't have been able to do anything. Landon you don't understand he's dangerous and the police would have just made him even angrier."

"Wow, Leese that's the most logical thing you've said this whole conversation. I'd love to stay and chat longer but me and Lisa have places to go."

"What makes you think I'm going to leave Lisa with you? Just give us our daughter back and we'll just forget this whole situation."

Jackson's eyes narrowed dangerously. He really didn't like this man.. He completely ignored Landon and turned his attention to Lisa.

"How long do you think a child can stay at my house without getting into trouble?" He spoke softly. "Get into the car."

Lisa was alarmed at Jackson's last statement. "You let your three year daughter home by herself" she questioned stunned that even Jackson would be that stupid.

He sighed. He pulled the gun out that had been hanging unobtrusive at his side. He hadn't wanted to have to use it but Lisa was being so uncooperative. "Get. In. The. Car." Jackson repeated slowly with more force this time.

Lisa didn't move too shocked by what was happening. Jackson grabbed her arm to pull her towards the car. "Oww, Jackson you're hurting me." Jackson didn't loosen his grip until he got Lisa to the passenger side of his car. Landon just stood there knowing there was nothing he could do without risking Lisa getting hurt.

Jackson tugged on her wrist once more, "Get in."

Jackson opened the passenger side of the door and Lisa reluctantly climbed in.

Jackson threw a dirty look at Landon. "I suggest that you don't call the police. You wouldn't want someone getting hurt." Landon had remembered about what Lisa told him earlier about the police not being able to catch him even if he did go tell them this new information.
