Dr K just walked straight into the house I guess it made sense to him. He sat down and gave rob a tired smile.
"Hello, again, Mr Wilkins."
"Sir."
I looked up and Dr K took a step back, hesitantly sitting on the chair opposite me.
"Well Jessica, I don't wish to rush and pressure you but I'm sure you understand the quicker we have her location the faster we will have her back home and safe."
"Certainly Dr Krantz. This may sound odd but she is in the infirmary at Crane military base."
Yes, you heard me right. This psycho has Ruth at Crane. I don't know how he snuck her in there, maybe there's someone on the inside who hates me.
"Jessica are you sure?"
"As if I could forget that place."
He got on his mobile and started barking orders at whichever agent was unlucky enough to be on the other line.
"I'll have Special Agent Johnson posted outside and I'll get Special Agent Smith to stay with you tonight."
"Sir if you don't mind I'd like to stay with Jess, just in case."
There goes my knight in shining armour again. You would never guess that just hours ago he had resisted me begging him to stay.
"Mr Wilkins do you really think you are better equipped to handle this case then the Federal Bureau of Investigation?"
"No sir."
"Well then go home and rest I'm sure Jessica will call you in the morning."
He gave up! No way is he going to leave me with Jill and my brothers.
"You don't understand sir. I don't wish to handle this case. I want to stay because I feel I am better equipped to 'handle' Jess."
"Mr Wilkins I don't think you quite…"
"Dr Krantz I'm sorry but if you want me to stay here with Jill, Michael and Douglas then Rob stays too."
"Well I guess, seen as how there isn't much night left."
"Thank you, sir."
"Well Jessica I will ring you tomorrow, we are required to have a debriefing after all the recent events but it can wait until Ruth has been returned home. Goodnight Jessica, Mr Wilkins."
As I went to the door with Dr. K, to make sure he actually left, I saw the familiar white van back. I waved to, what I assumed was, Special Agent Johnson. As I waved the passenger side door opened and Jill unfolded herself out of the van and jogged across the road to the house.
"Hello Jess."
"Jill."
I nodded at Jill and then at Rob.
"I'm going back to bed, come on Rob."
Jill looked a little shocked at the idea of me and Rob going to bed, but im sure she remembered what being a teenager was like. I didn't think she was going to say anything.
"Jess, what's going on? Why is Rob in the living room? And what are you all doing awake?"
Yea that's right, all the action had woke Michael up. I guess all he saw was me dressed in my usual jeans and t-shirt with Rob's arm around me, since Jill was actually round the corner from Michael. I decided to let Jill handle him, bed really was calling me.
"Rob come on. Jill you can explain to Michael, I'm really tired see you all in the morning."
I grabbed Robs hand and dragged him past Michael, who couldn't resist giving him a dirty look, up the stairs. Rob just followed me and as I got into bed he got in next too me. I smiled at him as he put his arms round me and kissed my forehead.
"Night night Mastriani."
I settled into robs arms and felt my eyelids closing, a smile on my face. I'd found Ruth and the psycho that had her and she was being rescued, I was done, going into retirement and all that jazz, at least that's what I thought as I drifted off to sleep. Things soon changed when I heard Jill shouting my name and Rob shaking my shoulders. Do I never get to relax?
