"So how are we going to get back to the hotel?" asked Chris.
"Make a call," said Jessi.
Jessi pulled out her cell phone and called Ville.
"Hello?" said Ville answering the phone in Finnish.
"Do me a favor?" asked Jessi.
"Jessi?" asked Ville.
"Who else," said Jessi.
"You weren't gone long," said Ville.
"I know. It was my mother. Anyway, Chris and I nee a ride back to the hotel. Can you help?" asked Jessi.
"We are on the bus at the moment," said Ville.
"Good. I still haven't seen it," laughed Jessi.
"Funny. We will be there in about an hour," said Ville.
"Thanks!" said Jessi.
"Well?" asked Chris.
"It will be here in an hour," said Jessi.
"How do you do it?" laughed Chris,
"Just that good," laughed Jessi.
While Jessi and Chris waited for Ville to come get them, Michael and Anthon were flying back to Helsinki.
About 2:45pm, Ville showed up with the HIM tour bus. As the bus pulled up to get them, everyone stopped and looked. When Ville stepped off the bus, everyone flocked over there.
"Ville! Ville" shouted a group of girls.
"Hello darlings," said Ville walking over to them.
While Ville was taking pictures, the bus driver put Jessi and Chris's luggage under the bus. Chris got on the bus while Jessi sat on the steps waiting and watching Ville.
"You going to the concert tonight?" asked Ville.
"No. I am going to visit friends," said a girl.
"Too bad. But have fun," said Ville.
Jessi got up and walked over to him.
"Having fun?" asked Jessi.
"Loads," said Ville. "Ready to go?."
"Yep. Waiting on you," said Jessi.
"Sorry. I've got to go," said Ville.
"Yeah. Got to steal him away," said Jessi smiling.
"Who is she?" asked a reporter.
"I am Jessi," she said.
"How long have you known Ville?" asked the reporter.
"Since 2005. We really need to go," said Jessi.
Jessi walked back to the bus and got on. Ville followed in suite.
It was a thirty minute drive to the hotel. Jessi and Chris got off and the bus left.
"Jessi!"shouted Jussi in Finnish.
"What!" shouted Jessi in return.
"Where you been girl? Did you go to Sweden by yourself?" laughed Jussi.
"No. I went and saw my mom and grandmother. I just got back. Where is Jyrki?" asked Jessi.
"His house. I got a call from James saying to come get you. Let's go," said Jussi grabbing Jessi's arm.
"Where are we going?" asked Jessi.
"Don't know. I'm not driving," said Jussi getting in the car.
"I'm slightly scared," laughed Jessi.
Jessi got in the car. She and Jussi were taken to James's summer home. When the car pulled up, James came out.
"Hey baby sister," said James in Spanish.
"Hey. Why am I here?" asked Jessi in Spanish.
"Thanks Jussi," said James.
"No problem," said Jussi getting back in the car.
"Hello! Little sister here! Answer my question!" Jessi shouted in Spanish.
"In a minute" said James in Spanish. "Jason!"
"Come on Jessi," said Jason in Russian. "Chris still at the hotel?"
"Yeah. What is going on?" replied Jessi in Russian.
"James will tell you. I've got to go," said Jason.
"But…," said Jessi.
"Come on! Upstairs," said James.
"Not until you answer my question," said Jessi in Spanish.
"" said James.
"" said Jessi climbing the stairs.
As Jessi climbed the stairs she sent Ville a text message:
Gotta help me. Jason's summer home. Wont tell me nething. Plz come! -JM
Cant. Concert. -VV
Plz. IDK wht iz going on -JM

Jessi opened the door to the room. The room was decorated for her. When she sat on the bed, James came in.
"Phone," said James. "Hand it over."
"Why?" asked Jessi.
"No contact with the outside world." said James taking the phone.
"Answer my question. What is going on? And why is this room like this?" asked Jessi.
James turned around and walked away.
"James Andrew! Answer my questions, or so help me god , I will break your arm!" shouted Jessi grabbing his arm
"I would if I could, but I cant. I swear!" said James.
"Who said you cant?" asked Jessi.
"You ask too many questions. Just relax. Try to sleep," said James walking out of the room.
"Jackass!" said Jessi to herself.
"Heard that!" shouted James.
"Good," shouted Jessi.
An hour passed before Ville could get to the summer home. He knocked on the door.
"Yes?" said James in Spanish.
"Uh…is Jessi here?" asked Ville.
"Yeah. But she is asleep…I hope," said James.
" Can I see here? She sent me a text an hour ago," said Ville.
"I cant let you," said James.
"Let me see her and then I will be gone," said Ville.
"Fine. Third door on the right at the top of the stairs," said James.
"Okay," said Ville heading up the stairs.
Ville found the door and knocked on it.
"Jessi, you in there?" asked Ville in Finnish.
"Yeah. Door is open," said Jessi.
Ville opened the door and walked in. Jessi was laying on the bed.
"You okay?" asked Ville.
"Dumb question," said Jessi looking up at the celing.
"Yeah. I know," said Ville.
"James tell you anything?" asked Jessi.
"Nope. Nothing," said Ville.
There was a knock at the door. James came in.
"Can I talk to Jessi for a minute, alone?" asked James.
"Yeah," said Ville getting up.
"You going to answer my questions now?" Jessi asked in Spanish.
"No," replied James.
"Then we have no reason to be talking," said Jessi.
"Hear me out, okay?" said James.
"Fine," said Jessi.
"Thank you. Now, dad is coming tomorrow," said James.
"WHY! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING COMING HERE?!" shouted Jessi.
"Can't tell you that," said James.
"Play 20 questions?" asked Jessi.
"Wont answer any of them," said James.
"You suck!" said Jessi.
"Fine. My turn to ask questions. Why did you text him?" asked James.
"I don't know. Habit, I guess," said Jessi. "Why?"
"Out of all your friends here, you text him. I am curious" said James.
"I don't know. I guess I knew he would come. You know I like him, you said for me to cool it. Remember?" said Jessi.
"Yeah. I know. That is why I was curious as to why you text him," said James.
"You done playing private eye?" asked Jessi.
"For now," said James.
"Good," said Jessi.
"Ville can I talk to you for a minute?" asked James.
"Sure," said Ville.
James and Ville walked down the hall, out of earshot of Jessi's room.
"I can't tell her what's going on, but I can tell you. Our father is coming tomorrow to marry Jessi off to a business partner of his. I am against this whole thing, but I work for the man," said James. "Now, if you happen to let it slip that is fine, but I can't tell her."
"You're kidding. How old is this guy?" asked Ville.
"Forty-seven," said James.
"Holy shit! He is almost twice her age!" said Ville.
"I know. I've got to go," said James.
Ville walked back into Jessi's room. When he walked in she was on the bed again.
