Break Me/Break You

A/N-Wow look at all those reviews! You guys are awesome! Thanks for all your support!

Jace looked him straight in the eye and spoke.

"I'm sorry, I had to."

Looking at him in disgust he could see Pablo heading towards them.

"Where did you take her" Pablo asked "and more importantly who has her?"

Jace seemed to look at Pablo for a minute before responding "I'm sorry."

"Where is she?" Matt yelled.

"A cabin off of 16" he replied.

"Who has her?" Pablo asked.

"Kerry," he replied.

"Why?" Matt asked disgusted, "She trusted you!"

"Look at me."

She opened her eyes and looked up at the man standing in front of her and the only thing she could think slowly tumbled out of her mouth.

"Why, Kerry?"

"Why?" he sneered, "You're asking me why?"

His hand connected with the side of her face and she could feel the sting as he slowly backed away from her.

"Think about it Kris, it's not difficult. Use a little common sense."

"Who put me in prison for three years Kris; did you honestly think that would solve everything? I told you I loved you and you go off with Junior."

She looked at him for a moment "you're doing this because you're still in love with me?"

He seemed to look at her unbelievingly for a moment before responding.

"The blackmailing I did because I needed money, did you think that the people I was dealing with were just going to go away? I had to pay them off, and I knew Junior would do anything to protect his girl, anything."

"But then why are we here now Kerry?"

"Why?" Matt asked disgusted, "She trusted you!"

Jace looked at him for a moment before responding "You have no idea the people Kerry has behind him, what they will do to get what they want."

"Is Kris in danger?" Pablo asked.

Jace shrugged before responding "I have no idea, they told me that if I didn't bring her, that things would start happening." He seemed to look at Pablo for a moment "They threatened the ranch, the horses, her family, and mine."

Pablo seemed to nod quietly as he looked off in the distance. "Who's behind Kerry, Jace, I need to know."

"I'm not even sure," Jace replied "I dealt with one of the goonies they sent."

They all heard the front door close and Jean appeared beside them "we need to go after her, now."

Matt looked at his mom and quietly nodded his head. He silently hoped and prayed that they were not too late.

"I can't even get a job now because of you, did you know that Kris? I'm un-hirable and no one will even consider me for their agent all because of you."

She looked at him for a moment before replying "because of me? You were the one who stole from me, stole from the Ritter's. You did this to yourself."

He seemed to look at her disgustedly before shaking his head. "You made it too easy for me Kris, way too easy."

She slowly nodded her head silently and she could feel his hand snake around her head before he grabbed her and kissed her.

"That's my girl" he replied "take some responsibility for the mistakes you made."

She could feel the revulsion rising in her throat and she had to choke back to keep herself from vomiting.

She looked at him for just a moment before responding "you still haven't told me why we are here, Kerry."

"Because…" he replied "I'm going to break you the way you broke me."

Matt looked at Pablo and Jean as they stood on the porch embracing. No one had said a word but it had been decided. They knew what they had to do. Matt could feel Dani shaking next to him and he hugged her silently, as she started to cry.

"We will back in no time Dani, I promise."

She looked up into his eyes before replying "Why can't you just let the cops handle this Matt?"

"Dani, you heard what they said. It's going to take too much time. We've already taken too long."

She quietly nodded her head in agreement. But she couldn't help but have doubts. They were walking into a situation that had the possibility to be very dangerous.

"But, why are you taking horses then?"

He seemed to sigh as he rubbed his hand through his hair.

"They make less noise, especially on the back roads. You heard what Pablo said, they can't have any idea that we are coming. We have our phone; we will call you I promise."

"I don't like this Matt," she replied.

He hugged her closer and whispered "I know, but we have to try."

"I knew the minute I first saw you and Junior, that there was something going on there. The way you two looked at each other, standing by that car."

"But you said you were just friends, so I let it go. Then when Piccaro broke down, you should have seen the look on his face Kris, he was terrified. I knew then, while we sat in the hospital that I had no chance against him, I had to get rid of him."

"Then I find you two curled up together in Davis barn, and I really knew. I saw the look that passed between the two of you that morning; you didn't think I would miss that did you?"

"I saw the way you two looked at each other when you danced at the ball. I saw when you almost kissed that day you missed your chance at the breeders to help Belladonna."

She could feel a gasp escape her lips as he smiled at her.

"I saw it all, Kris. I tried to pretend that you loved me, that I was what you wanted. But I was deluding myself. "

His voice seemed to rise.

"I begged you for a second chance Kris, but you refused to give me the same courtesy that the Ritter's gave you. The same courtesy you gave Junior."

She could feel the tears slowly tumbling down her face. Hearing about her and Junior's past was painful enough, but this just made it worse.

"Kerry," she whispered "Please, please tell me that you didn't have anything to do with Junior's plane going down."
