Mike looked at Ellie sleeping a little while later and smiled to himself. He'd felt something for her. Something deep within him and that feeling was on high alert. He had to protect her. He couldn't let anything happen to her. The knock on the door broke him out of his thoughts. He opened the door and raised his eyebrows at Jay.
"Get dressed. We've got to get you out of here. Adam's dead."
"What?" Mike asked shocked.
"You guys need to go. I've arranged for you both to go to the Yukon terriority and a cabin there."
Mike nodded and went to wake up Ellie. He told her they were moving but not that Adam was dead yet. He sent a quick text to John and told him. Whoever had killed Phil was stepping things up. He just hoped John would be able to help from where he was.
John woke up when he heard his phone. He got it before it managed to wake up Allie. He got out of bed and looked at the text. He sighed. Adam was dead and Mike was moving him and Ellie somewhere else. Mike had warned him about keeping Allie and Finn safe.
"Something's wrong." He heard from behind him. He turned to Allie. "What's going on?"
He sighed. "Adam Copeland is dead. He helped Ellie get to where she was. Whoever killed Phil is stepping up his game. He wants Ellie."
"Why?"
"Allie, I think it's Drew. He wants Ellie dead or gone and he wants Finn. Which means you're in danger."
"I knew it was Drew." She said sitting down. "But I didn't have any evidence. Do you think Drew killed Phil and framed Ellie?"
"I think so or he planned it. But I don't know. All I know is you and Finn need to be safe. I want to take you both to a safe house and keep you there until we can find out what exactly is going on."
Allie nodded. "Ellie's safe though. Right?"
"Yes. As far as I know. They are moving to another safe house. And while I know I can protect you here. I would just feel better if you and Finn were in safe house."
"Alright. I trust you." She replied. "We will go where you want us too." He nodded and they quickly packed up and left the house.
Ellie looked at Mike and Jay as they drove toward the Yukon Territory. She could see the nervousness in their demeanors as they drove and though neither of them had said it, she knew Adam was dead. That would be the only reason for the move. And she knew that whoever had killed Phil and framed her for it was getting closer to finding out where they were.
"Adam's dead isn't he?"
Mike looked at her and sighed. "Yes, he is."
"It was whoever killed Phil right?"
"We think so. They are looking for you and they are stepping up their game."
"Are Allie and Finn okay? I mean nothing's happened to them right?"
"Allie and Finn are fine. They are being looked after and being moved to a safe house for protection."
He looked over at her and took her hand in his. "Do you trust me?"
"Yeah."
"Then believe me when I tell you that I won't let anything happen to you. When we get to where we're going, I'll teach you to shoot. That way, you can protect yourself."
She nodded and continued to look out the window. She was worried more for her sister and her son then herself. She was the one who brought all of this into their life and now they might pay for it. She couldn't take it if something happened to her sister or her son.
John put Allie and Finn in the car and they started toward the safe house. They were barely out of town when his car was hit from behind. He barely could react when a car came and hit his head on. It stopped the car in the middle of the road. He looked up as four men dressed in black ascended on the car. He and Steven didn't have time to react when they were both knocked unconscious. When they woke up, Allie and Finn were gone.
He looked over at Stephen. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Stephen said as he undid his seat belt. "I have a horrible headache." He said as he brought a hand to his head. "I'm bleeding. You okay?"
"Yeah." John said as he heard the ambulance sirens. He looked to the back. "They got Allie and Finn."
"I know." Stephen replied. "They must have taken them when they knocked us out."
"We have to find out who did this and who has them." Stephen nodded as the paramedics and follow officers came up to the car.
Allie sat in the backseat of the car holding Finn who was whimpering. Randy looked back at them in the rear view mirror.
"Make him shut up."
"He needs to be examined by a doctor. No thanks to you. And he's scared."
"When we get where we are going, all of it will be taken care of." Randy said as they drove.
"Why are you doing this? I thought you wanted kids and me. But you have no patience for little ones and I have no patience for someone who lies to me."
"Right now, I'm losing my patience with you."
"Whatever. You and whoever you're working for, won't get away this."
"I think we will." He said as they pulled into the driveway. He got out of the car and walked to the backdoor. "Get out and try to keep him quiet. Just so you know, there is no one around for fifty miles."
The door to the house opened and Drew stepped out. Allie looked at Randy. "You've been working with him?"
"Yes. He understands about doing what you have to do to get what you want." Randy said grabbing her arm and pulling her and Finn to the door where Drew was.
Drew smiled when he saw Finn. He reached for his son who turned away. He tried again and again, Finn turned away. "Give me my son."
"No!" Allie said trying to shield Finn.
"I SAID GIVE HIM TO ME! NOW!'
"No, I'm not giving him to you."
He grunted and pulled Finn from her arms and he started wailing loudly. "No! Drew he doesn't want you!"
"That's because you and his bitch of a mother brainwashed him. And I'm sure Phil had something to do with it too."
"That's not true." She yelled at him. "Please just give him to me and let me calm him down."
"No. He's my son." He said turning and walking into the house.
Randy pulled Allie's arm and pulled her into the house. He sat her down on the sofa while Drew had Finn in his arms. Allie could tell he was losing patience fast with the baby.
"Please let me have him to calm him down." She said softly. "We didn't brainwash him. He just doesn't know you that well. Please Drew. You don't want your son unhappy."
Drew sighed and relented. He handed Finn back to Allie and she held the boy close. "He needs to be examined by a doctor."
"No." He said. "You check him out. You have that fancy degree."
"I'm a lawyer and I have a law degree. Not a medical degree. You could have hurt him in the accident."
Drew sighed. "Fine. I will see if I can get one. But know this, I will not let you tell me how to raise my son. I'm doing this to make him happy. Once I handle other things, my son and I will be gone and you will be Randy's. If he still wants you." He said walking away.
Allie looked at Randy. "What did he mean by other things?"
"Ellie."
"He wants Ellie?"
"Yes. He wants her to pay for taking his son away and he wants custody of his son. She shouldn't have left him.'
"You helped her leave and so did I? Why are you helping him?"
"It's complicated."
"Then uncomplicated it. Tell me why you're helping him. There was a time that you couldn't stand him. You thought he was nothing but Scottish trash. Why are you helping him? And don't give me that it's complicated crap."
"I can't tell you why I'm helping him. All you need to know is that I will make sure I get what I want out of this. And that's you."
She sighed. It was obvious Randy wasn't going to tell her anything more. She had figure this out. She had to protect Finn. Ellie had trusted her with him and she wasn't going to disappoint her.
