This is why I rated this T, so I can use cure words! Yup there are quite a few in this chapter, I feel like such a bad person. Oh well. Butler is the main AF character in this chapter so in case you didn't figure it out yet, I don't own him.
Beep, beeeep, beeeeeeeeeeeeep! Curse that damn alarm! Jen slapped the snooze button, hoping for ten more minutes before-
"Jen! Get your butt up!" Her Mom shouted from down stairs. Aw well, 'least its a Saturday. Jen moaned and rolled out of bed, literally. "I made waffles!" Jen jumped to her feet. Slid into clean jeans and a t-shirt, sprinted to the bathroom, and raced downstairs. She, obviously, loved waffles. Bethany smiled and shook her head as Jen filled ever single square with dark amber maple syrup. 15 minutes and 2 delicious waffles later Jen spoke
"Hey ma. Mind if I go into the city today?"
"Go ahead, just be back before dinner okay? I don't want to have to worry." Her mom replied.
"Great!" Jen said. One wallet, key chain, sweatshirt, helmet, and bike later, Jen was pedaling up the hill. They lived in the suburbs just outside the nearest city. Jen would bike to the train station, lock up her bike and take the train in for a day of wandering. When she finally got on the train she relaxed and counted the money in her wallet. 163€. That would be way more than enough for a cell phone but what about the actual plan? Oh well, she thought, i'll find out when I get there.
The train ride was dull as usual, the only thing Jen noticed that seemed out of the ordinary was a older man, maybe in his fifties kept sneaking glances at her over his newspaper. She acted as if she didn't notice but watched the man when he wasn't looking, He looked sort of familiar, but Jen wasn't too good at remembering faces, so she spent the rest of the ride raking her brains for a name. Coming up with nothing she shrugged it off, maybe he recognized her, it didn't matter, she'd shake him off on the streets if he followed her. He did, Jen lost sight of him outside the train station, but a few blocks later, she passed a guy buying sunglasses at a stall on the sidewalk and recognized his buzz cut. Shit, she thought as she quickened her pace slightly, not enough to be noticeable, but faster just the same. After taking an extended route to her destination she was confident she'd lost him.
She entered the electronics shop with a satisfied smile on her face. Now, should thought, what can I afford? An hour and a half and 150€ later, Jen walked out with a smile on her face and new phone in hand. She was happily typing in new contacts and didn't notice the man again until she was half way back to the train station. Shit, shit, shit, she thought.
She decided to go through the park and maybe shake him off there. No such luck, this guy is good, she thought, I just wish I knew what he wants. About four blocks away from the station she couldn't take it anymore. She made a sharp turn down a small side ally, and took out her trusty letter opener. God, that sounded weird, she thought, but a teenage girl wandering in the city alone need some sort of protection, and letter openers are not illegal to cary around. She held it out in front of her and waited for the man.
He got there sooner than she expected and seemed a little surprised to have a sharp object pointed into his stomach. Butler took off his sunglasses, they were hindering his sight in the dark ally, and got a good look at the girl. She was awfully small compared to him but she looked determined to skewer him.
"I'm sorry." He said quickly before twisting her wrist and sending the letter opener flying across the street. That was when she recognized him, this was the guy at the door of that manor! She thought, as she took a few steps away from the giant guy.
"I'm sorry to have to do this but you need to come with me young lady." He said.
"Like hell." She told him calmly.
"Please," he said. "I really don't like knocking children out."
"Not gonna happen buddy." With that, she tried to run around Butler, but before she took three steps he had grabbed her arm and stuck a needle in her neck. All I did was deliver a package, she thought, before she blacked out.
