Why did I decide to update again so quickly? Who knows?
But if anybody has a problem with it, I won't do it again. ;-)
'What the hell am I gonna do now?' Gina wondered as she frantically paced the floor of her hotel room later that night. She couldn't believe she hadn't even thought of the rape test! She'd been so wrapped up in ruining Jason- whom she hated with an intensity that almost scared her. Sure, she'd been all cocky and overconfident, but, she was really freaking out about this whole thing now.
'Maybe I should just leave tonight. Yeah. But, they could always find me and the punishment would be worse,' she thought. Man, she'd really backed herself into a corner here! 'Or have I? I'm down, but, that doesn't mean I'm out. I just have to find a way to get Jade and get outta here.' She knew the little girl was probably home and definitely asleep by now, so, tonight was out of the question. But it was now or never.
Then, her eyes lit up and she laughed gleefully. Her panic quickly disappeared. 'I can get her tonight! I know that house like the back of my hand- I used to live there, after all. There are ways to get in. Ways that Jason probably doesn't even know about to this very day. Forget the cops. Jade and I getting out of here tonight,' she thought with a cold smile, her confidence returning in full force.
'Might wanna get an alarm installed, Jase. Oh, well. I bet he will after this!' Gina thought a short while later with a soft, slightly crazed laugh. She'd decided to pick the back door lock and was now in the center of the kitchen. She looked at her watch. Kim was most likely asleep now. Even if she wasn't, Gina was sure she could handle the woman with no problems at all. Nothing was going to stop her.
'I'll be quiet anyway. Don't wanna take my chances,' she thought as she slowly made her way out of the kitchen. She was going to get her daughter and head back to Sacramento first thing in the morning. She truly was no longer worried about the cops. Everybody could just go to Hell. She was Gina Wakely. Nothing was going to stop her. Nothing at all. 'Sure, they'll know this was all a huge lie when they find Jade gone and Jason will be released. But it won't matter. Because he still won't have her.'
Gina reached her daughter's room, entered and made her way over to the bed- where the little girl was sleeping soundly. Gina turned on the bedside Cinderella lamp. Okay, she could just carry her out of here. If she woke up, Gina'd come up with some explanation that would satisfy her. She was sure she could.
"Okay, sweetie. Time to go," she whispered a little loudly.
"The hell it is."
Gina's head snapped up at the sound of the ice cold voice. Surprise filled her eyes when she found Kimberly Hart standing in the doorway. Gina looked back at the sleeping child, then, at Kim again. Rage began filling her. "Get lost, Kim. This really has nothing to do with you."
Kim just glared at the blonde. So, Gina'd snuck in. Well, she obviously hadn't thought Kim would be awake to ruin her sick plan. Kim had been laying in her and Jason's bed, just staring up at the ceiling. She wasn't the slightest bit sleepy. Then, she'd heard a soft, but, weird noise. Something in the back of her mind had told her to check it out.
"Come out here, will you, Gina? I don't wanna wake Jade," Kim said calmly.
Gina rolled her eyes and stalked up to the doorway. "Whatever. But it doesn't matter what you do or say, Kimberly. Jade's going with me. There won't be any rape test."
"Just come to the kitchen, please," Kim said quietly. Oh, she hated Gina, but, at the moment, she was feeling more calm than anything else. She didn't really know why.
Gina scoffed and followed Kim to the kitchen. When the two women had entered the room, Gina looked at Kim in irritation. "Make this quick. I've got things to do. And shouldn't you be resting anyway? You did just give birth, after all."
"We both know you couldn't care less about that," Kim said lightly.
"True," Gina agreed.
"So... you wanna add kidnapping and breaking and entering to your crime list, huh? God, Gina. When did you get so sad? Did you not get enough hugs as a child or something?" Kim said, shaking her head. She knew exactly what Jason'd meant by being tired. Gina was very, very tiring.
"If you called me in here just to throw pathetic insults at me, then-" Gina was saying.
"Jade's not going anywhere with you. But, you're right about one thing, though," Kim said with a slight smile.
Her tone and behavior in general was actually starting to make Gina a little uneasy. 'Why am I letting her get to me? She's a little twit. I've got, like, four or five inches on her.' But... Jason had once told her years ago that Kimberly could actually be very intimidating when she really wanted to be. Gina continued to hold her ground anyway.
"Right about what?"
"You said there won't be any rape test. And there won't be. Because I'm gonna call Karen over to stay with Jade for awhile and you and I gonna take a little trip down to the AGPD. Then, you'll tell them the truth, Jason will sign release forms or however it works and he'll be home where he belongs," Kim said, folding her arms over her chest.
"And you call me crazy," Gina said with a laugh.
"I'm wrong. You're not crazy. You're seriously freaking insane. You're also not very bright, either. You've got a lot to learn about love," Kim said.
"Just save it," Gina snapped.
"Oh, don't worry, Gina. I'm sure they'll actually go easy on you. Community service, psychological testing, medication. Even supervised visits with Jade. Unless, of course, you completely freak out. Then, it's the funny farm for ya," Kim said, looking into the other woman's eyes.
"Been watching a lotta Law and Order, have we? NYPD Blue?" Gina sneered.
"It's great how you can be a comedian when you're in serious crap," Kim said, nodding.
Gina walked up to Kim. "No matter what happens... no one will ever be able to keep me away from Jade. Nothing can stop me. Not jail, not a mental hospital, not you, Jason or his bitch of a mother. Nothing."
"I'll never understand how Jade came from something like you," Kim said.
"Ooh, that hurt. Look, I'm not gonna let anybody brainwash her," Gina said.
"Including you?" Kim asked, cocking an eyebrow.
Gina scoffed. "You remember calling me soulless? That was funny as hell coming from a child-stealing, homewrecking tramp. And you're proud of it."
"Oh, my God. You really are a freak. What home did I wreck, Gina? You broke up your marriage. You abandoned your child. For selfish reasons. And now you're trying to take her away from people who really loves her to spite them, to make them miserable. If that's not soulless, what is?" Kim said. She actually almost felt sorry for this woman.
"You're just a little... bitch, aren't you?" Gina spat before slapping Kim hard across the face.
Kim's eyes darkened and she returned the slap. Gina shoved her backward and Kim grunted in pain when she slammed back into the counter. She really wasn't physically well enough to be fighting with Gina, but, she couldn't make herself care. She really couldn't. She'd probably regret it later and Jason would not be happy she'd done this, but, she'd simply have to deal. Gina was pure evil and she was hurting people Kim loved. She had to be stopped. An intense fury Kim hadn't felt in years began slowly filling her.
"Had enough already?" Gina taunted, sauntering up to Kim. "Hope so. Kim, you don't have a chance in hell of getting the best of me. I'd beat the-" But she was cut short by a punch to the abdomen. Gina grunted and clutched her stomach. "You stupid-"
"Don't you ever shut up?" Kim growled before punching Gina once again. Gina grabbed Kim's arm and they both dropped to the floor. Kim yanked free, got on her knees and punched Gina in the mouth a few times. Gina tried not to howl. She turned to punch Kim in the stomach, but, Kim shoved her onto back and delivered a couple punches to her ribs. Then, she stood to her feet and began kicking her repeatedly... on the side of her face, neck, ribs, hip. Gina, who was now weakening rapidly, could only moan and groan in agony. Blood was trickling out of the corner of her mouth.
Kim dropped down to her knees again moments later, yanked Gina up into a sitting position and the blonde saw pure fire in the normally sunny brunette's eyes. "You're a waste of skin." Then, she shoved her back down onto the floor, leaned down and pressed her forearm into the blonde's throat. Kim ignored the gagging and gasping and beared her weight down. She had no idea where all her strength was coming from. She looked into Gina's eyes. "I'd kill you, but, you're not even worth that. Besides, I could never hurt Jade like that. You're still her mom, unfortunately."
"That's r-right," Gina coughed. "I'm... the reason...unh... she exists."
"Actually, Jason is. Ya know, when you really think about it. But we can have the "where babies come from" discussion later. You have work to do," Kim said in fierce tone.
"F-forget it. I'm not getting... into any kinda trouble," Gina managed to choke out.
Kim applied more pressure to her throat. "You're going to that station."
Gina unsuccessfully tried to remove Kim's arm. How the hell could this woman be so strong? Gina was actually starting to see colors. And she'd be lying her ass off if she said that the shorter woman wasn't tripping her out big time right now. Here they were... alone in the eerily quiet kitchen... and she was nearly being killed. The kitchen... a room with knives. Kim could easily snap and change her mind about the killing thing. The look in her eyes certainly said it was probably possible.
Kim used her free hand and took Gina's. Gina tried not to scream when the other woman gripped her thumb tightly and began bending it backward. Crap!
"The cops are gonna know the truth. You tell 'em now and you won't have much to worry about. Get the help you need, get yourself together. You'll still have a chance to live an at least semi-normal life. You should be thanking me, Gina. I'm actually trying to help you- even though you don't deserve it," Kim said seriously, coldly.
"Get off-" Gina began.
"Jason's needed. He has three kids. One of which happens to be yours. Do you really want Jade to find out you're the reason her father had to go to jail? Oh, I'm sure that'll go over real well," Kim said, releasing Gina's now sore thumb.
"Shut-" Gina began.
Kim applied more pressure and the other woman whimpered. Tears sprang to her eyes. "Jade's only four, Gina. The kid shouldn't have to go through all this. You need to get your issues taken care of before you end up killing yourself."
"Just get-" Gina began.
"Forget it," Kim snapped. Then, she sighed. "So, what are you gonna do? You better make your choice soon 'cause it obviously won't be long before you pass out. You don't want that. Becasue there's no telling where you'll wake up." Her voice was sounding ominous now. Yes, hers. But she was well past her boiling point. Gina really needed to be stopped.
"Crazy," Gina gasped, blinking rapidly.
"No. I'm just somebody that wants to be happy and have a halfway normal life with the man that I love," Kim said, her voice and eyes emotion-filled now. She just passionately wanted Gina to leave them alone. Get out of their lives. The emotion vanished and her eyes iced over. "So? What do you choose?"
Gina- whose head was now spinning- looked up into Kim's emotionless eyes. Wow. She'd never seen the woman look and sound so, so determined and so... cold and dead. Wow... . Kim pursed her lips tightly and she eased up ever so slightly on the pressure and Gina opened her mouth to speak... .
Oh, that hated cliffie. More to come soon... . If ya want more, that is. ;-)
