A/N Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. Sorry for the delay. I've been busy with work and wanted to add something to this chapter but haven't really been motivated lately to finish it. I hope this chapter was worth the wait. It's my birthday today (Saturday) so you should all review because of that.
Landon slowly walked home debating what he should do. Should he risk Lisa and Alexis's safety by going to the police. If he did go to the police all he could really give the police would be a description of the guy. He had no clue where they were headed and he didn't even manage to a license plate number or anything.
According to Lisa the guy was dangerous so he thought maybe he should take his threats seriously and not involve the police. He personally wanted to kill the guy as soon as he met him to make up for all the hurt and pain he had caused Lisa.
Lisa was a very clever and resourceful woman and he was hoping that she would be able to find a way home without the police. The police did after all already have Alexis's picture on file he figured somebody would have to recognize her and then he wouldn't have to worry about risking their safety. She had to find a way to get herself and Alexis back home. He didn't know what he would do without them otherwise.
Lisa was unsure of what to make of the situation she got herself in. She thought maybe she would be able to memorize the streets and turns Jackson took to their destination. She wouldn't be much help to her daughter and herself if she had no clue where they were in the first place. It seemed like Jackson had already thought of this since he had seemed to be taking random turns to throw Lisa off
Lisa had forgotten she still had her cell phone in her hand that she had grabbed off the table until Jackson reached over and snatched it from her.
"You won't be needing this." he said tucking the phone into he pants pocket
"Where are we going?" Lisa asked quietly. The fear she felt that night was starting to come back.
"Home." He said casually. He continued on with his evasiveness for a couple more turns, before actually going to the house.
"And what is the point of all this Jackson. Do you suddenly have the urge to want to play house? You never really struck me as the domestic type"
He turned his eyes to her for just a moment, and then pulled her in. He turned to fully look at her. "I'm just getting what's mine."
"So it doesn't matter that Alexis has a loving father at home. As for me Jack, I'll never be yours."
He narrowed his eyes. "You already are mine Lisa and as for Landon, her loving 'father'", He rolled his eyes at his comment "I can take care of him."
"You touch him or Alexis and I swear you'll regret it" Lisa replied angrily at what he was implying.
He smirked nastily at her. "Lexi," He said using her nickname to make her angry. "Is mine and I'll do as I please."
Lisa wanted to punch him so bad for his comments but she knew that wouldn't turn out well for her. She noticed that they had pulled in a driveway in front of a quaint house. She would have never suspected Jackson to live here. She tried to open the door and found it was locked. Jackson came around and opened the door grabbing her arm. "Don't get cute. Remember I still have Alexis inside." He continued holding her arm not trusting her not to run away and he led her up to the front door.
Lisa tried to shrug his arm off but to no avail. Jackson opened the door and pushed Lisa inside. Lisa nearly lost her balanced and fell but she caught herself in time.
"This is Lisa Reisert" Jackson stated introducing Lisa to his associate. "Actually her last name is no longer Reisert since she decided to go and get married" Jackson stated disdainfully and corrected himself.
"She's the one that screwed up the Keefe job, isn't she." His associate asked intrigued to meet the one woman who was able to take down one of the best managers in the business.
"Yes, that would be her." He said with disdain.
Jackson turned back to his associate and got a report on how things went while he was gone and then dismissed him from his house.
Lisa had been busy taking in the different windows and doors. She started to wander off from Jackson down the hallway. Jackson grabbed her wrist forcefully. "No running off by yourself. I don't trust you that much."
"Well then if I can't explore by myself I want you to take me to my daughter."
"Fine, but I'm not leaving you alone in the same room with her for long. I know what you're thinking as soon as you can get Alexis you're going to try to leave. Well I have news for you it isn't going to work like that." Jackson replied dryly hopefully crushing any escape plans Lisa had forming in her head.
He led her to her bedroom door and unlocked it for her.
Lisa was stunned. "You locked your daughter in a room? She's three where did you think she was going to go? I bet she can barely reach the doorknob on her own."
"I made this mistake of underestimating you so I wasn't going to let that happen again."
Lisa didn't care anymore she was just happy to be able to hold her daughter again. Alexis had her back turned towards the door and turned her head slighty at the sound of it opening.
"Mommy! You came. I knew you would. I missed you." She exclaimed jumping into Lisa's outstretched arms.
"Of course I came honey. I would never intentionally leave you anywhere."
"Where's daddy?" Alexis asked looking around. "Why didn't he come with you?"
"He had to stay at home."
"Can we leave now mommy? I'm ready to go home." She asked innocently.
Lisa glared at Jackson. "See what you're doing to her." She said quietly so only Jackson would be able to hear her.
"I think that's enough time for now. Mommy has to leave now." Jackson said unsympathetically.
"Why does my mommy have to leave?" Alexis asked "I don't want her to leave me." She starting to sniffle which led to her crying again. Her mom had just gotten there and now she was going to leave her again.
"Great job Jackson, you made her cry." Lisa scolded. She picked Alexis back up in her arms to comfort her. "Don't worry. Mommy isn't going to leave you."
"Have you forgotten Leese that I'm the one giving the orders here and I say its time for you to leave. You can come back later."
Lisa ignored Jackson demand and laid Alexis down on the bed. Lisa knew she had to do something to calm Alexis down. "If you'll try and take a nap, I'll tell you a story."
Alexis nodded at Lisa's offer.
Jackson impatiently stood in the doorway waiting for Lisa to finish the story she was telling. She finally finished and Jackson ushered her from the room. He went to lock the door behind them when Lisa spoke up.
"Is that really necessary?" Lisa asked knowing that when it was time for her to escape with Alexis it would be much easier with the door unlocked.
"Yes, not because I don't trust her. I don't trust you." Jackson said coldly.
