Chapter Two- Kat's Where?
Around midnight Kimberly came home from Kat's. She walked into the living room and saw one dim light on and Tommy was sitting in a chair reading a book. As soon as she walked in the room he got up and walked to her.
"Where's Jase?" Kimberly asked
"Sleeping."
"You didn't have to wait up for me, though I'm glad you did. I need to talk to you."
"And I need to talk to you. Kimberly you are a gymnastics coach, not a nurse. Is there a reason you've been called away so often for the past month?"
"Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I haven't exactly been going to where I've been saying I'm going."
"Kim are you seeing another guy?"
"What? No, Tommy how could you think like that."
"Well then where have you been going exactly?"
"To see Kat."
"Kat? As in Katherine Hillard?"
"Do you know any other Kats?"
"Well no. You mean she's in Reef side? Wait why is she here? Where did she go? Why did she go? How long has she been here?"
"Whoa, hold off on the questions please. She can explain all of that later. She's in a little trouble; do you think she could stay here for awhile?"
"Um… yeah… I guess, but what kind of trouble?"
"Trouble with the law."
"You mean like the police are after her!"
"Sush you'll wake the kids. And yes they are."
"You've been helping her though. Kim you could go to jail for that!"
"Would you please be quiet? I already know that, but once proof is found that she didn't do what they think she did no one will get in trouble."
"What didn't she do?"
"It's a long story it'd make more sense if she told you. So can she stay here?"
"Yeah, but what about Jason?"
"What about him?"
"She really hurt him when she left."
"Oh. Well maybe they can get past that. Just don't tell him until she gets here because it's not a done deal yet." Kim said and Tommy nodded as they walked upstairs to their room.
The next day after Kim finished coaching one of her student she went to Kat's. When she got to Kat's apartment the door was open. She walked into the room silently and noticed everything was thrown everywhere. Books that were once on the shelf were now on the floor with pages torn from them. The coffee table had been flipped over and the glass cups from a cupboard were now all shattered on the floor. Kimberly quickly came to the realization that the police had found Kat. She walked out of the apartment and drove over to the elementary school that Tiffany went to. The little girl who was playing on the playground waved to her mom as she waited in the car. As soon as the bell rang Tiffany ran over to the car and got in. After that they went to pick up Kevin and Natasha from daycare before going home.
Back at the house Jason was watching another baseball game. Tiffany ran in and jumped onto his lap.
"Hello." She said and then climbed right off and ran off to do something. Jason laughed as Kimberly walked into the kitchen to start making dinner. Jason followed her.
"How about you let me make dinner tonight. You don't want to tire yourself out. You have a baby to take care of too."
"Jason I swear you are no better than Tommy. I am fine to make dinner." She said grabbing a pot "Plus your cooking may be worse for the baby than me making dinner."
"Fine." Jason said holding his hands up in defense. He turned to play with Kevin who was now playing with the telephone that someone had left within his reach. He had actually dialed and number and was talking to someone. Well sort off he was more babbling and the person was talking very confused. Jason picked up the phone and said sorry to whoever was on the other end and hung up.
About an hour later Tommy walked in. He looked very tired from another day of teaching high school students. He walked over to Kimberly who was standing over the stove top making rice. He held a piece of paper in his hands.
"Did you hear?" he whispered so Jason couldn't hear him
"You mean about Kat?" Kimberly asked
"Yeah they got her."
"I know. I went over there today and she was gone."
"Got who?" Jason asked from behind them. Tommy and Kimberly jumped and turned around. Kim put on a fake smile and said
"No one."
"Right." Jason said completely unconvinced "Who?"
"Um… I'm not sure if this is… if this is the right time to talk about it." Tommy said and Jason nodded completely suspicious.
Kimberly threw some rice and chicken onto the table and sat down while helping Kevin up into his booster seat. During the entire dinner no one said anything. The only thing that could be heard was the clinging of forks against the plates. Jason would randomly look up Kimberly and Tommy to see if they were ready to tell him who they were talking about. Neither Tommy nor Kimberly said anything though. Jason knew they could be stubborn but this was ridiculous. After dinner Kimberly and Tommy were washing the dishes (they're dishwasher broke when one of the kids decided to attack it with a baseball bat) while Jason was drying the dishes. There was an awkward silence in the air.
"Are you guys going to tell me now?" Jason asked breaking the silence
"Well I guess we might. Now is as good as any time." Kimberly said
"I guess you're right. Do want to explain or shall I?" Tommy asked
"I'll do it. Ok well long story short, Kat was taken."
"Taken, taken where? Wait where was she? You knew where she was?"
"Dang, you are just like Tommy. I knew where she was. I've known for a few years now. She was in an…"
"Wait, you've known for years!?"
"Well yes."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I… well… I don't… she just wouldn't let me. I didn't tell Tommy until last night!"
"Ok, where is she? Where was she taken?!"
"Jail." Kim whispered quietly that Jason almost didn't hear her.
"What?" Jason asked quietly
