The plane ride was long and drawn out. Meals came and went but Lucy wasn't in the mood for eating.
"You have to eat something" Patrick told her as him Van Pelt and Cho tucked into a meal of pasta and chicken Kiev. Lucy looked at the meal and tried to eat something but she felt sick. Patrick sighed and told her it was alright. Deep down he wished she would just eat...she had been picking at meals ever since she had come out of hospital and she was becoming slenderer than normal.
"Jane!" Lisbon yelled and Patrick looked around as he came out of the arrival terminal. Lisbon looked relieved; it was the emotionalist she had ever been round Jane. But she wasn't that emotional that she had to hug him. She did hug Lucy and then she turned onto Cho and Van Pelt.
"He got away again? I want you two to tell me everything that happened...but not yet...for all we know he is listening" Lisbon said and the two agents looked around, noting all the faces who were going into and coming out of the airport. Lisbon took them all to the car where they climbed in. It was a dark day and looked like rain but then again it was winter.
"Where are we going this time?" Patrick asked. Lisbon looked at him in her mirror and then her eyes went back onto the road.
"Another safe house...and before you say anything it is the only option we have" Lisbon said. Jane raised a brow. For all the time he had been in hiding the safe house never seemed to be safe. The ride was long and tiresome just like the plane journey but then Lisbon noticed something. She thought she was being tailed. Cho and Van Pelt who were also looking around nervously shared her sentiments, but the driver couldn't be seen through the darkness, only his car headlights were visible.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lisbon asked Cho who nodded. She had taken another turn left down an abandoned lane and the driver had followed her.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked Patrick who looked down into her eyes.
"We're being trailed" Patrick told her and she groaned and looked out of the window behind them and sure enough, there was a man following them.
"What do we do?" Lisbon asked, she was nervous...if it really was him then she had no idea how to get rid of him. They were down a lane where no other traffic was and they were being trailed by a possible psychopathic mad man. Great.
"Call Hightower...tell her what is happening. She can send out more people" Van Pelt said and Lisbon nodded. It made sense. If they cornered him then he had nowhere to go. Cho pulled out his cell and told the boss of everything.
"She's sending back up. She says to keep driving until they come" Cho told Lisbon who sped the car up a little. Then there was a noise. It was bullets...he was driving and shooting at them. Patrick pushed Lucy over so that their top half of their bodies was cowered down. Lisbon continued driving as Cho and Van Pelt ducked. But no bullets broke the glass.
"He's not shooting at us" Van Pelt stated and then Patrick shook his head.
"He's shooting at the tyres!" Jane yelled and then Lisbon checked her mirror.
"Hang on" she said and then the car began weaving in and out of both lanes in a desperate attempt to avoid the bullets hitting the tyres. But then the car began to slow down...until finally it stopped. He had succeeded. Patrick didn't know what to do. Either way he had caught them. Before anyone could move there were two masked men at the side of the doors. One of them opened the door to Lucy's side and dragged her out. Patrick grabbed back onto her.
"Get off my daughter!" Patrick yelled whilst Lucy screamed incoherently.
"Mr. Jane. Release your daughter or I shoot her and then I shoot all of them" the one in the white mask who had a gun pointing at Lisbon's head said. All the doors to the car were open and the agents couldn't get to their guns in time. Patrick couldn't let go of Lucy. He would rather die.
"You know what Mr. Jane. I have grown tiresome of you" the one who looked like Phantom said and then he pointed his gun at Patrick and shot.
"Dad!" Lucy yelled and she managed to turn in his grip and push away the other new kidnapper.
"Dad...please...dad..." she begged him as she held onto his shoulders. Patrick's eyes found hers and his hand went up to her cheek.
"Lucy..." he gasped but she heard no more. Phantom had hold of her round the waist and was dragging her from the car.
"Get off me!" Lucy yelled as Lisbon and the other agents were still held at gun point by the other kidnapper.
"Come on Lucy..." Phantom said and for once he sounded reasonable angry. Phantom hurled Lucy into the back of the car and locked the doors on her.
"Let me out!" Lucy roared as she snapped at the door handle. Phantom laughed and climbed into the driver's side and began to drive. He pulled up alongside the agent's car and stopped just for his accomplice to jump in. Lucy saw her father's lifeless body as they drove past and she began to sob. He might be dead. She couldn't believe what had just happened.
"Don't worry...you'll be joining him soon. Unless...you have changed your mind" he pushed her and she glared into his eyes through the mirror.
"You're a bastard" she said and he shook his head.
"You know what happens to those who are wicked Lucy" he said
"They are punished" his accomplice who wore a black mask like Phantoms said.
"Yes...they are...you have proved yourself useful" Phantom said and the man bounced around like he had been praised by God himself.
"Thank you Phantom...thank you very much" he said and then Phantom shot him. Lucy screamed as the blood splattered on the windows and then she began to cry.
"He had no use left to me. Regretfully I did it but it had to be done before he became too cocky" he said and carried on driving as though he had done nothing. Lucy hurled herself to the door and began trying to unlock it.
"Lucy...it is no use...just give yourself to me and you shall not meet the same fate as your father" he said and Lucy turned around to stare at him as she pulled on the door handle.
"I hate you! Won't you just listen! If I get to be with my father in death then I would rather die than spend another minute living near you!"she screeched and he bowed his head slightly in regret.
