Jade looked outside. No, that wasn't Tori either. It was the day after Jade last talked to Tori. She was a bit worried, Tori hasn't answered any of her texts. She wanted to call Mrs. Vega but if they didn't get that emergency settled then she would just be stirring the pot. Jade decided that if she didn't hear from Tori in another hour she would call Mrs. Vega. But in the time between she sat down to write a song that has been dancing around her head for a few days. After a few minutes her phone rang. She jumped up to answer it, but when she saw the caller I.D. she grimaced. "Hello Jasmine. What's up?" She couldn't keep a bit of rudeness from her voice.
"Hey Jadey, how have you been? Want to go get some coffee later and then I don't know…hang out for a while?" Jade could tell where Jasmine was going with this. Her voice was oozing suggestiveness.
"Look Jasmine, I love Tori. She completes me and I like to think I complete her. What we had is over. I was and still am with Tori. I wish I could make you understand that."
Jade heard Jasmine give a sniff of disdain. "No, you love me."
"No I don't, Jasmine." Jade put her hand on her forehead in frustration.
"Fine, if that's how you want to be you'll never see Tori again." Jade snapped to attention. "I was going to let you see her one more time before I killed her but not now."
"You have Tori? Jasmine don't do anything you'll regret. Please."
"She can hear you now Jadey. Say bye-bye to your precious Tori."
"Tori? Tori? Listen to me, I love you. I will save you just don't lose hope. I'll see you soo-" the line went dead.
Jade dialed 911 as she went to her gun cabinet. "Hello 911 whats your emergency?"
My wife has been kidnapped. I know where she is, the address is 4811 Timothy street. A woman named Jasmine Holbrook took her. I'm going over there now. "
"Ma'am you need to leave this to the police. They will save your wife." Jade hung up before the operator could start the next sentence. She got in her car and drove 80 miles an hour the entire way to Jasmine's house When she pulled in the driveway she jumped right out of the car. The front door was locked, but Jade knew where the spare key was. In less than ten seconds she was in the house. She wanted to shout for Tori but she didn't want things to go South either. She could hear the distant wails of the police cars in the distance. Quickly and efficiently she checked the entire house. Either they weren't there or they were in the basement. The sirens were even closer now. Maybe five minutes away. Slowly she opened the basement door. The police had arrived. The basement was dreary at best and scary at worst. Slowly she started down the stairs but faster when she heard a fight. She heard a gunshot.
