I really didn't think that so many people will like this idea, thanks so much for reviewing! (especially, you: Velvet Fox!) I'd just like to say before you read, that this story is going to have lots of action involved and not that much romance, I don't think that it will suit them in this kind of situation. So, please don't ask for more romance or fluff, because I don't really want to go in that area.

In this chapter, we get to find out why Jack became a criminal! And to clear any suspicions, no, it's not because he blew up his father! LOL!

Chapter 3

Jack stared at her, blankly. He sighed and looked down at his lap. Droplets of rain began to pour away outside the car, until it started to rain fully. All that was heard was the trickle of the pouring rain outside on the car windscreen. You could almost slice the tension with a knife. Jack looked at her face again. She was waiting for him to give her an answer, a proper answer; not a lie. He couldn't tell her, though. He just couldn't.

For a moment, they both forgot that the police could be here any second. They forgot that they were running away from the cops.

'It's not that simple.' Jack finally blurted out. Kate couldn't belive her ears, it was obvious that he was hiding something.

'I want to know what you did.' she said hotly, in between gritted teeth. Then Jack's sense came back as a faint, faint noise was heard at the background. It was like... like... a siren. Jack's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

'Drive.' he ordered as he looked in the rearview mirror.

'No, we're not going anywhere until you tell me why the police are after you.' she repeated, yet again. The siren was coming nearer and nearer. Jack didn't know how to make Kate drive, he couldn't think of a way to convice her.

'Just drive, Kate. I'll tell you on the way.' he said, hoping that she would agree. Was she stubborn or what!

'I said that we're not going anywhere until-' she stopped midway, looking in disbelief at the gun pointed at her. This was it. She thought. This is what he wanted all along: to shoot me then run away, again.

This was the only way that he could make her drive and get away from here. Of course, he didn't want to kill her, but this was the only way. Kate stared at him, and swallowed hard not letting fear come into her.

'Please, Kate. Just drive.' he said, more sympathetically, this time. Kate turned the keys and pushed down on the pedal as the engine turned on. Jack let out a sigh.

'To where?' she asked.

'Forwards. They are coming so you have to drive fast.' he said.

Two minutes later:

Officer Cortez, Officer Stanley and Officer Roberts got out of the car and went up to the house. They broke in, and circled around it, pointing their guns to every possible corner.

'Stanley, Roberts, I want you to check all the rooms. Make sure that you find out any signs of where they could be right now.' Cortez said, as she continued searching. The three of them looked around, but found nothing. That wasn't until Roberts went over to the phone and pressed the recording button. Voices came out:

'What did I tell you?! I said don't call the police! Right this is what we'll do-'

'We?! There isn't a 'we' in this, you're on your own!'

'Look… just do me one last favour, and I promise that I will leave you alone.'

'Promise?'

'Yeah, I promise.'

'What is it?'

'So you're saying yes?'

'I haven't said yes, just tell me what you want me to do.'

'I just want you to take me to any place, with your car. Right now. Just… far away from here. The cops will come looking for me any minute now.'

'But I didn't tell them my address.'

'Yes, but they can trace the call.'

'...Okay. But this is the last time.'

'Thank you.'

By now, all three officers had heard their conversation. It was obvious what had happened: by mistake, Jack and Kate had recoreded their conversation right before they had set off. They smirked at how easy the find was.

'Roberts, I want you to contact the police station and ask for the number plate of the car that Shephard and Austin are in. Then I want you to tell them to trace the location of the vehicle and where they are heading towards. They've been caught in the net, now. There's no way we can miss them this time.' Officer Cortez said as they all got to work.

There was a very awkward silence in the car at the moment, as both Jack and Kate looked forwards, and never at each other. They had been driving for a short time, but it seemed like neither had moved for so long. Jack sighed, heavily, never blinking or looking at Kate. Kate deicded to break the silence:

'So, are you going to tell me, then?' she asked, blankly. He thought about it. No words were said between them for what seemed like a century. Then Jack decided to speak. He had nothing to lose, after all.

'I killed my sister's husband.' he replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Haha! Didn't expect that, did ya? Well, in the next chapter we find out what exactly happened and why Jack killed him. And also, who is his sister's husband? You can only find out if you read on, and in the meantime: review! Go on, that little button at the bottom left hand corner is waiting for you. :)
