"You're the one who brought her into the middle of it Elena. You're the one that ran here."
"Elena, what's going on?" Jess whispered.
"Don't worry about it Jess, just go back in the mall and have Becker come get you, please."
"Are you in danger?"
"Jess, don't worry about it, just go."
Before Jess could do anything, Klaus was in front of her. She knew fighting him was pointless, the speed he'd reached her, proved he was a vampire, and the look in his eyes, proved she was in trouble.
"You'll be joining your friend here, coming with me." he said grabbing her wrist.
They were led to a black SUV and put in the back. Elena looked pale and glanced over at Jess, "I am so sorry for getting you involved in this."
"How much trouble are we in?"
"A lot."
Klaus had taken Jess and Elena's purses and phones when he'd put them in the car. They were drove to an abandoned mansion.
Classy, Jess thought sarcastically.
"Beats an abandoned warehouse," he said, looking directly at her.
"How…?"
"I'm an original, I have powers beyond anything you'd imagine."
"Yeah, I figured that out."
He led them up to one of the bedrooms, "I have things to take care of, I'll return shortly," he said before turning and leaving.
Jess sank down to the floor against the nearest wall, fingering the locket she wore. Elena sat beside her and glanced over to say something, just as a wide grin spread across Jess' face.
"Jess?" Elena asked, completely dumbfounded.
Jess reached under her dress and unclipped something from one of her bra straps. Pressing the button on the side to power it on, Jess slipped the coms device in her ear. Becker and his adorably protective self had set it to private frequency with his and asked her to keep it at all times, in case of an emergency.
"Becker, can you hear me?" Jess almost whispered.
"Loud and clear, what's wrong?" he responded.
"Elena and I are in trouble, we've been kidnapped," she said, before launching into the explanation of what had happened at the mall.
"Tell him he's going to have to tell Stefan, he'll need his and Damon's help." Elena said quietly.
"I do not need their help," Becker said indignantly.
"Becker, please listen to her, trust me, please."
"Fine, I'll call them. I've got a coordinate lock on the tracking device in the coms, just hold on, I'll be there within half an hour, and keep that earpiece on."
"Alright," she said quietly.
"And one more thing, I love you, Jess."
She closed her eyes, "I love you too, Becker."
She slid the earpiece from her ear and clipped it back to her bra strap, out of sight, making sure the power was still on.
"You may have just saved our lives," Elena said quietly.
"You have Becker to thank more than anyone, he's the one who insisted I carry it. Now we just have to hold on."
