Chapter 2
Those words bounced inside her head, making her feel dizzy as she thought about everything that had happened and everything that she must go through again.
Maybe she should try and find the address on a map and go to Claire's house. At least that might help her find Jack… or maybe try to understand Jack.
The bus stopped a few yards in front of her and she got up. Pulling her coat tighter around her, she hurried to the doors of the bus and ran straight inside. Quickly getting her money out and paying, she found a seat right at the back of the bus where no one seemed to be sitting and walked over to there. She sat down carefully and sighed. Even though it had only been an hour or so since Jack went, it already felt like a century.
Stepping into the stuffy and uncomfortable entrance hall of the motel she had just entered, Kate looked around her. Ripped wallpaper hanged from the walls, the couple of pictures were broken but still half hanging from the walls and the tatty sofa in front of her looked like it was from last century. Frowning in disgust, she walked forwards to the man sitting behind the desk. Deliberately looking down, she asked:
"Do you have a spare room for tonight?"
The man took off his earphones a few seconds later when he heard her presence and took a piece of paper out.
"Name." He said almost disinterested.
"Name?" She stiffened. She hadn't thought about that.
"Er… yeah, your name?" he pointed out as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Clarke… Diane Clarke." She said almost too quickly but the man didn't seem to notice. After taking out the cash and putting it on the desk, she took the key that was given to her.
"Up the stairs and to your right." He sighed as he put the earphones back in his ears.
Kate walked up the creaky stairs and turned to her right. 'At least the door's in place' she thought. Nothing else seemed to be in the right place here.
She turned the key and entered the room. On her right was a door, which led to the bathroom and further on was a bed and a small chair. It would do for one night. She shrugged and sat down on the bed. Taking out the map that she had bought earlier on, she took it out and went to the back to find Malebury Close.
"Page 16…" she said in her mind as she flipped the pages and eventually found the place she was looking for. It wasn't far away from here. In fact… it was only 4 roads away! She studied the diagram carefully for one last time before folding the map and lying down on the bed. A few minutes later she was asleep.
The door squeaked open and a rough pair of hands lead him inside. He felt the handcuffs being taken off him and the door shutting behind him before he could even turn around. He overheard them talking before; this must be the place they were keeping him in temporarily. Looking around, he noticed that he wasn't the only one there. On the cell opposite him, a man around his age and build was sitting down staring at him. He had shoulder-length blonde hair and piercing blue eyes… and a very angered look on his face.
Thanks for all the reviews, everyone:) So that was chapter 2 and we got a bit more of Kate and now you know what she's going to do. And also some of Jack... but who is that man that is in the cell next to him? I think that some of you will guess:P Anyway, I don't really know much about prison cells and how things work in prison etc. so any tips on writing that part will be appreciated. Please review, thanks. :)
