Uh.yeah

Yeah I'm a nice sort of girl. Looks around shiftily honest I am. At least they got back together. And he said the L-word! Well I think Ruth can kinda hold things together and it gives Jess someone to argue with, as well as her mum. Glad you liked the ending. I've always wanted to do a cliffhanger, although I'm sure I can do a better one then that plans next cliffy I joke. I shouldn't need to do one for a while. Thanks for your review and praise for my story. You make my fingers happy!

Mrs. Nikki Slater

Uh-oh indeed lol  Thanks a lot.

Addy

I did indeed. Thanks I try or at least my fingers do. I'm not sure whom really. I might never say. He's just a guy… or is he? Insert evil laugh He should return soon. It was just a quick visit to talk to his dad. What about I wonder? Ponders conversations

Angel Gemman

Thanks I like it too Maybe it is maybe it isn't. Ask my fingers. How does she call Rob? Rob is talking to his dad. I like Rob too, who doesn't? You'd have to be mad not to. Steps away from crazy people with pitchforks and torches

Daddy's Little Baby Girl

Just got to say. I love your name! Thanks a lot, nice to know its good.

Thanks as always to CattyCat for being my beta. And without further ado… The chapter. ENJOY!

I was wrong. I should be used to that, being wrong I mean.

I went to work and booked Ruth's table. I spent most of the day trying to work out which guy from drama club Ruth was going out with. I know I should be worrying about Jill and what to do but I'm still a teenager whose best friend is going out on a date. Maybe I was suffering withdrawal symptoms from Rob. That would explain why I didn't notice who was sat at table 12 until the end of my shift and even then it was only because they came over and talked to me.

"Jessica."

With that one word my entire mind emptied and I got really confused, well actually I got confused as I looked up. The voice? Yea, that was Dr. Krantz. I'm sure you're wondering why that would confuse me. Well, that's not what confused me. Dr. K seems to be everywhere at the moment, so why would it surprise me to hear his voice at my family's restaurant? It's what I saw when I looked up that sent my mind into a spin.

"Jill?"

My eyes had to be deceiving me. Jill was in a dinky, and might I add disgusting, house with no way of escape. I doubt the guy had just let her go and I hadn't gone and got her and I hadn't told Dr.K where she was so what was she doing here?

"In the flesh. I guess I should be thanking you."

I just stood there probably with my mouth open. I know I didn't look good. You can't blame me; I mean Jill was standing in front of me pearl earrings and all. Jill shouldn't be stood in front of me. While I was thinking of all the ways Jill could end up here, which included thinking I had imagined the whole thing, Dr.Krantz spoke up.

"Jessica. May we have a moment to speak to you?"

"Well, actually I am at work."

This was a total lie and anyone should be able to see through it, I mean hello I'm back in my own clothes with my coat on and my bag in hand, it doesn't take a fool to realise I'm lying.

"Follow me."

Here we go again. Him ordering me around. The thing is, for once I couldn't be bothered to argue, hey, I was still confused. Why, or should that be how, was Jill here?

I followed Dr.Krantz and Jill out to the regulation white van. I know I was staring at Jill, which would look really odd to people since she was in front of me. But you really can't blame me. How had she got out?

"What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, or at least I thought I had, I used my most forceful voice but Dr. K just ignored me.

"Jessica, we are going to place several of our operatives around your house, and your family restaurants."

"What's new? Just tell me how the freaking hell I am sat looking at an 'operative' who was missing?"

As usual I didn't say freaking. I was really angry. I had just managed to find Jill and all of a sudden she's here in front of me without me 'fetching' her.

"Jessica, please…" I guess my choice of language isn't his thing.

"…This is all for your own and your families safety. Now when you go home some of our operatives will already be at your house. They will also follow you and your family when ever you leave the house."

"Dr. Krantz, how the hell did you find Jill and get her out?" I stood up and was ready to leave; this guy and his team get me angry.

And it was his turn to be shocked or at least he was quiet like he was shocked. It took me a while to realise that he was embarrassed.

"All right, what the hell did you do? I don't want any of the 'my own safety' crap. Just tell me. What have you done?"

"Well, Jessica, please sit," He motioned to the seat opposite him and I sat. I guess it was shock or temporary madness.

"Jessica you have to understand that in the past you have been a bit of a live wire. And you have a tendency to take matters into your own hands. We couldn't allow that to happen this time…"

"So instead you put me in danger by going and getting Jill. Are you blind? Did you read the email?"

I stood and left. I don't care about the rest of his words. I could hear him shouting Jessica, doesn't he get it my name's Jess. Okay, that's not why I'm mad. I'm mad because he has put me and my family and friends in danger. Instead of leaving me too it, which would have involved me getting Jill, giving her to him, and then getting on with my life, he, well, I don't know how but he probably tapped the phone lines. Any way, he went and got her and in the process he put my life in danger and he wants me to sit around and listen to him. So not going to happen.
