Chapter 13
John had a great time spending the next few days with Jenna as her leg started to recover. But one day after coming back from a case one night, John opened the door to his apartment (which Dorian standing behind him) and noticed that his apartment was dead silent. He went to his bedroom to see that Jenna was gone.
They searched all over the apartment without any luck. John then looked on his nightstand and found a note from Jenna that read:
John,
I had a really great time with you these last couple of days, but I have to leave. I don't know when or if I'll be coming back. But please don't come looking for me.
Love,
Jenna
John threw the note on the floor and yelled to Dorian "We gotta go, NOW!" John said as he made a mad dash out the front door.
"Where are we going?" Dorian asked running behind him down the stairs.
"Probably the train station first and if she's not there then I don't know." Where the hell could she be going and why wouldn't she tell me? John thought as they got in the car and started to drive off towards the train station. This just doesn't make any sense...unless she knew about the person who was on the roof that was trying to attack us.
John parked the car and ran to the train station... but by the time he and Dorian got there, the trains were already departing. They both looked around and saw no one. "We're too late," John said as he shook his head in despair. He looked at Dorian. "Let's go."
But before they ran off, a voice started to shout from a distance. "John!" It was Jenna, waving at them. She stopped, not looking too happy. "Why are you here? I told you not to follow me."
"Where are you going without tell me?" John asked with an angry look on his face.
"This isn't your problem!"
"Yes, this is my problem! I care about you!"
But before Jenna could reply a guy came out of nowhere any grabbed Jenna by the hand where "Where's my money bitch?!" and then threw her to the ground really hard. The guy then took out his gun and pointed it at Kennex and Dorian
John immediately got out his gun and pointed to the unknown person and looked over at Jenna who wasn't moving. He then looked back at the guy saying "Hey man, we don't want any trouble...now put the gun down."
While Kennex and the unknown person were having their confrontation, Jenna started to wake up but everything to her was still a blur. Her eyes wondered over past John. There was a bag next to him. She need to get to that bag so this could be over with. She then got up and pushed John out of the way. And without a warning, the unknown person fired the gun, hitting in the upper part of her ribs.
As Jenna fell to the ground, he faintly heard John scream out her name. "Jenna! Jenna wake up!" John looked over and saw that she was starting to lose a lot of blood. He then turned around to see that the guy who shot her was starting to make a mad dash away the three of them. "Stay with her" John mention to Dorian before he ran off to find the guy who shot Jenna.
John ran down a couple off flights of stairs and saw the guy run off. He pointed the gun's laser at the unknown person, and then shot him three times in the back. John saw the guy fall, but didn't know if he was dead. All he cared about was Jenna. He then turned around and bolted back to the train station.
Dorian hadn't left Jenna's side as John knelt next to her. "I called an ambulance. There's too much traffic in the area. They won't be here for another 30-45 minutes."
John then started to panic. He knew that Jenna didn't have that long because she was losing blood fast. "Did you call for anyone else?! I mean, can you extract the bullet from her?"
Dorian did a scan on Jenna's wound, but just shook his head. "If I do that, she'll just start losing more blood."
"John..." Jenna said in a weak voice. "No one's coming..."
John shook his head. "No...no don't talk like that. Someone's coming I promise you." He took his jacket off, folded it and put it behind Jenna's head. "I'm not going to lose you...ever again. I should never have left you." He picked up her body and started to cradle her in his arms.
"John I'm dying...there's nothing you can do. You can't save me anymore."
At that point, he knew he had to say how he left about Jenna, or he wouldn't have a chance. "I love you." He then kissed her lips, but at that moment, he left her body going cold.
Jenna had taken had taken her final breath.
"Time of death-" Dorian started but John yelled at him to wait. "Dect. Kennex, we have to call it."
"Just give me a minute." John said as the tears start to run down his face. He then whispered, "I'm sorry Jenna. I love you. I wish I could've saved you." He wiped the tears from his eyes, looked at Dorian and nodded.
"Time of death, 8:15p.m."
They looked over as the ambulances and police cars started to arrive at the scene. John didn't want to move from the spot. But he knew that people were going to question what had happened. He picked up Jenna's body and took it to the ambulance.
