48 Hours Later.
Las Vegas
"It's been two damn days!" Jon growled pacing in the kitchen. He glanced over into the living room. Jagger was laying on the couch watching cartoons.
"Mr. Moxley I know." Detective Mason said.
"I'll say it again just call me Jon please." He signed taking a breath.
"Sorry Jon. We think we have an idea of where she is at but until we get a confirmation we can't go in guns blazing." He explained. "We are in constant contact with the FBI."
"I know those sick fucks have her. Karen could be in labor right now! If I lose her or my daughter ..." Jon began to say his voice cracking a bit.
"Jonathon you can't think like that." She said getting up to hug him.
As he hugged him Mom he kept staring at Jagger laying on the couch.
"I know it's not easy. But I assure you we are doing everything we can." Detective Mason explained.
"This is all kinds of fucked up! I should have been home GOD DAMN IT!" He yelled.
"D ..Daddyy." Jagger cried standing at the gate.
"Oh I am so sorry little man come here." Jon said calming down when he saw his son. He walked over to the gate and picked up him. "It's OK Jagman." He said hugging his son close to him.
"I miss my Mommy." He said to his dad.
"I miss her too."
Utah.
"How are you feeling today?" Allison asked coming into the bed room with a tray that had some tea on it.
"I am alright." Karen said softly.
"It's so good to have you back. We were all so happy when Ethan said you were coming home. To say we were shocked you were with child was an understatement." She said putting the tray down on the night stand.
Karen slowly sat up rubbing her belly.
"Your sure you are feeling alright? Ethan had to work and wanted me to come check on you." She said as she went to touch Karen's belly.
"Don't touch me." Karen said sternly.
"Karen I know it's scary but you are home. You are safe. Remember I am a mid-wife. I need to check you out."
"This is NOT my home! I am anything but safe here." She said.
"I know it must have been terrifying to be out there alone. But you've gotten a second chance at this life." Allison said. "It's a chance to save this baby from the evils of the outside world."
"I was not alone. This is not my life any more. This will NEVER be her LIFE!" Karen growled slowly getting up and sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Karen I didn't mean to upset you. We are just glad you are back." Allison said.
"Allison listen to me please." Karen said standing up out of the bed. "This is not your fault at all but this is not my life. This is my hell. I have a husband Jon is the love of my life he has shown me over and over what it means to be truly loved. He loves me no matter what. Even when I do stupid things. I love him and he is the one I want to be with and share my life with. We have an amazing little boy he's two and he is so much like his Dad. Jag is so smart and he stole my heart the second I saw him. I need to get out of here. I need to go home to my family my real family." Karen said trying not to cry.
"Ethan said you wanted to come back here." Allison said.
"Ethan is full of shit! I am 39 weeks pregnant this is the last place I would want to be." Karen stated rubbing her round belly. "Do you have a phone?"
Allison looked away from Karen.
"I … I have orders not to let you use the phone."
Karen bit her lip and closed her eyes thinking to herself.
"I just want to talk to Jon. He is all I want right now." Karen said.
"I am sorry." Allison said before leaving the room as Karen waddled to the door she heard it being locked from the outside. She tried to open it but no luck.
"DAMN IT!" Karen said as she kicked the door. "I am gonna get us home Millie. I promise you got gotta stay with me baby girl." Karen said rubbing her belly.
Las Vegas.
"Jonathon you need to eat." His mother said offering him something.
"Not hungry." He stated as Jagger was eating. "That's good huh my boy."
Jagger smiled and offered Jon a piece of his food. Jon cracked a little smile and took the bite.
"I tare wit my Daddy." He smiled eating a piece himself then offering Jon another bite.
When there was a knock on the door Jon didn't even think twice before he answered it. There stood Detective Mason and Liam.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Jon growled looking at Liam.
"I am here to help."
"Oh you've done enough now get the fuck out of my house." Jon growled.
"Mr. Mox ..." Detective Mason started to say. "Jon listen to me. We've got confirmation Karen is at a little compound about an hour or so outside Salt Lake City."
"Then what the hell are we waiting for let's go get her." Jon stated.
"We need Liam to help us because he knows the area."
"I still don't know if I can trust you but I just want my wife back." Jon stated.
"I want that too Jon. You know I love Karen. We've been through a lot together."
"You have a funny way of showing it. You put her danger more that once."
"Jon look I just want her safe and I want to help." Liam said.
"We have a team on their way to Utah now." Mason said.
"Then let's go get my wife."
"Jon I can't …." Mason started to say before Jon interrupted him.
"I am going. There is nothing you can say or do to get me to change my mind. Karen is 39 weeks pregnant I am going!" He stated sternly.
"We'll debrief you on the way."
Utah.
Karen was pacing the bed room when the door unlocked and in walked Ethan.
"Get ready for dinner." He stated handing her a dress. "Fix your hair."
"Ethan please let … let me go home." Karen said.
"You are home. Now get ready for dinner." He stated.
Karen took a deep breath trying to stay calm as she did as he asked. Putting on the dress and fixing her hair into a braid. As she looked into the mirror her past flooded her mind as tears filled her eyes.
"Lord God. I know I don't pray as much as I should. But I am asking you to please help me! Help me get home Jon and Jagger. Please I can't live like this so I am asking that you send help please and please keep my daughter safe from harm." She prayed.
"Dinner is ready." Ethan said.
Karen just nodded as she came out of the bedroom and down the hall. Memories of her past in this house over came her mind. She noticed Allison putting something on the table as she then noticed Victoria already sitting down.
"Karen you look so good." Victoria said standing up and rubbing her belly.
She flinched a little and stepped back putting both hands on her belly.
"Karen we are family it's OK." Victoria said.
She didn't say anything and Ethan helped her sit down in the chair next to his. As Allison joined then at the table.
"Praise the lord our family is back together. All my wives are home now where they belong." Ethan said as they began to eat.
"You OK sweetie?" Allison asked Karen who was just picking at her food.
"Yes Sister Allison I am just tired." Karen said softly closing her eyes, breathing softly as Ethan looked at her.
"I think she needs to rest Ethan. She looks very pale." Allison said.
"Eat a few more bites. You need your energy then she can lay down." Ethan stated.
Karen forced herself to eat a few more bites. Allison then helped Karen to the bed room as she helped her sit down.
"Are you sure you are alright?" Allison asked. "I am here to help you and this baby."
"The only help I need from you is getting out of here." Karen said softly.
"Get some rest I will be back to check on you in a few hours." Allison said shutting the door.
"Millie please sweetie not now. We have to get out of here need your Dad!" Karen said rubbing her belly and changing into something more comfortable.
Several Hours Later.
"We have full confirmation that she is in a house here." Mason said pointing to the map.
"That's her house. I mean the house Ethan had gotten for her when they first were married." Liam said.
"He was NEVER married to her." Jon said sternly.
"You know what I mean. It's on the compound but there are three or four houses around there." Liam pointed out.
"Are we just going to go in and grab her or what?" Jon asked. "We know where she is."
"Jon remember we have a plan we need to stick with it." Mason reminded him. "Trust me we will get her back safe and sound in less than 24 hours she will be with you again."
"You better know what the fuck you are doing I am trusting you with my life!" Jon stated.
