Jessica sat up slowly. She was still inside the van. She crawled out from between the seats. She looked around and didn't see Lincoln anywhere. She kicked a window out and crawled out. laid on the side of the road trying to catch her breath. She crawled til she was on the other side of the van. She saw Lincoln laying there as a man leaned over him. Her vision started to go blurry as she stood up. The man didn't know that she was there. She seen that the man was starting to smother Lincoln. "Hey!" she called out her voice was horse due to the smoke. The man looked up and see seen through her blurry vision that it was Paul Kellerman. She stumbled to try and push him off Lincoln. He pushed her back and she landed on the ground beside Lincoln. "Stop...Don't..." she mumbled out. She reached behind her to feel for her gun. She felt it still in her pants. She grabbed it and stood up. She aimed the gun at him. "I said stop." she demanded. He sighed standing up and marched toward her. Her vision was still blurry and her reaction time was slow. He quickly grabbed the gun from her and pushed her down beside Lincoln. "You have made my job very difficult." he said to her. As he was bending down to finish the job with Lincoln a car pulled up. While Kellerman was distracted Jessica leaned over to check Lincoln. "Is everything OK?" she man shouted getting out of the car. Jessica tried to get his attention but failed when she started fading out. "Everything is fine." she heard Kellerman say to the guy. The next thing she knew the man knocked Kellerman out with an object. Her vision was fading quickly. She looked up at the man and even his blurry figure looked familiar. "You." she tried to get up but fell on top of Lincoln unconscious.
Jason got out of the car and assessed the scene. He was surprised when he got a call from Kellerman telling him to back him up. He looked and seen a CO from the prison talking to Paul. "Thank you officer I'll take it from here." Jason interrupted Bellick asking Paul questions. Bellick turned and looked at Jason. "No offense detective but that's my prisoner that's missing. I have a right to ask questions when I see fit." Bellick argued. Jason narrowed his eyes at him. "I also have a person out there as well. I will be talking to the witness." Jason said dismissing Bellick. Jason motioned for a local cop. "Hey the witness is free to go." he informed the cop before walking away with Paul beside him. "What the hell is going on? You were suppose to kill Burrows and leave Jessica unharmed." Jason lectured at Paul. "Things didn't go according to plan. Someone else showed up and took both of them both." Paul told Jason before leaning closer to him. "And don't you ever raise your voice to me again." Paul whispered harshly to him before getting in his car and taking off. Jason walked back over to the local cops. "I want checkpoints on each ends of the county lines. The witness said that the suspect was driving an old six black mustang." Jason commanded the men. "It appears the suspect might have taken a hostage. So we're going to assume he's armed and very dangerous." Jason stated lying to them to cover up Jessica's involvement.
Jessica woke up feeling warm and safe. She opened her eyes to see she was laying beside Lincoln. She looked around without moving so whoever took them didn't know she was awake. Lincoln must have sensed she was awake because he opened his eyes and moved his head to look at her. "Do you know where we are?" she whispered quietly to him. He shook his head. "No. All I can tell is we're in a garage of some sort." he said to her. "I don't know if I was seeing things or not but I think I saw your dad." she said to him. He looked at her. "I think you're right." he agreed. They turn their heads when they see him walking towards them. Lincoln moves slightly so he's in front to Jessica. The man comes closer and stands in front of them. Jessica's vision becomes more clear and the man is the same man she ran into at the prison and the same man who dropped off that evidence to the judge. Jessica felt Lincoln tense beside her and she put a supportive hand on his shoulder. "Hi dad." he said calmly to the man.
"What are you doing here?" Lincoln asked him. Jessica kept a supportive hand on him. She knew the whole situation with Lincoln and Michael's father. She knew no matter the situation it was hard for him. "When I heard you got approved to go see your son I knew they would make a move on you." Aldo informed them. "I mean what are you doing here?" Lincoln asked again with a more agitated voice. Aldo sighed looking between the two of them. "I got a car about 20 miles out, we're going to switch out there. Then I have to make sure you disappear." he leaned against the car. "I'm surprised they were even allowed to touch you." he said looking to Jessica. Jessica gave him a confused look and sat up slowly. "What are you talking about?" she asked confused. "There are things going on that you are not aware of Jessica and I'm sorry that the both of you got put in the middle of this. Once I have you disappear it'll be about me and them." he cryptically told them. Jessica tried to move around Lincoln to stand up. She just ended up laying back down again in pain. "Wait a minute they're after me not you." Lincoln stated. Jessica was so confused, her head was pounding and by now she figured that they were wanted by the police. "I worked for them." he informed them. Both Jessica and Lincoln looked at him in shock. "I also worked with your biological father Jessica." Jessica looked at him with disbelief. Her biological father? "What the hell are you talking about?" she asked sitting up and succeeding in standing. "My father was a lawyer just like my sister is. My biological father died from cancer two years ago." she exclaimed to him. "The lawyer that your mother married is not your father. I'm sorry that you had to hear it like this but-" she cut him off with a raised hand. "I can't listen to this." she told him. Lincoln sat up and wrapped his arm around her. Lincoln glared at him. "You left. You were an alcoholic." he accused still holding Jessica. "Is that what you remember or what you were told?" Aldo rhetorically asked. "Who I worked for was higher than the government. They controlled what happened in the world, what wars to fight. If you wanted to get ahead like I did you leave your family behind." he stated to them. "I'm familiar with the government how come I never heard of the company before?" Jessica asked with narrowed eyes. "Because your father wanted it that way. Someone very close to you involved in the company wanted Lincoln framed just as badly as using him to get to me." he informed them. "When I left the company I took all that knowledge with me. They're using you to get to me." he told Lincoln. Jessica's head was spinning with all this new information she had just received.
Jason patrolled the streets. So far no one had found that car. He hit side of the car. He was completely frustrated. Jessica was probably hurt now because he told Kellerman where the transfer van was going to be. He broke from his thoughts when his phone rang. He didn't recognize the number but answered it anyway. "Clarke." he greeted into the phone. "Jason? This is Trisha calling." he heard on the other end. He took a deep breath, he didn't want to deal with Jess's sister right now. "What can I do for you?" he asked opening the car door and sitting down. "Do you know anything about what is going on? I've been worried and nobody will tell me anything." she told him with fake worry in her voice. " I don't know much, just that Burrow's escaped and took Jessica hostage." her eyebrows knotted in confusion. "Hostage? Are you sure?" she asked him not understanding the story. "Yes ma'am. Look I'm sorry but I have to go." he hung up the phone. Trisha closed the phone in anger. This was not what was suppose to happen. Now Lincoln and Jessica were out there and they could be discovering secrets, secrets that Trish didn't want revealed. She had to find them and fast.
Jessica was standing beside Lincoln with her arms crossed. She still didn't understand what was fully going on. "There's something I don't get. How can killing me stop you?" Lincoln asked beside Jessica. He grabbed her hand and was playing with her fingers with his. Aldo looked at them and smiled briefly at the sight. "Because I'm the one who leaked the news about Eco Field. They could've covered up the scandal a million ways, instead they decided to fake Terrance Steadman's death. They chose you Lincoln because they knew it would flush me out. They knew any man with a son on death row would come forward." he walked closer to them. "The thing that doesn't make any sense is why someone else in the company would want you dead personally." he stated to them. "A contact on the inside said that a very scorned woman chose you personally. I don't know who and I don't know why." he informed them. Jessica seemed to me in thought. "Do you know what you've done?" Lincoln accused spinning around to face Aldo. "The mother of my child is dead! The love of my life is constantly in danger now!" he bent over in pain. "Lincoln!" Jessica instantly moved to his side. She glared at Aldo. "Do you know Michael is in Fox River, or that LJ is in going to end up rotting in juvie!" Jessica helped him stand up. "All of this is on you." he accused glaring at his dad.
Jason got the call on the radio as soon as everyone else did. "All units respond the mustang is at an auto junk shop called Scotty's. Burrows was spotted." Jason tore out of the parking lot and called up Kellerman on his phone. "Did you get that?" he asked over the phone. "Yeah heading there now." Jason hung up the phone and sped down the street.
Aldo handed Jessica and Lincoln a map. "Are you two ready to travel?" he asked moving over to the car. Jessica looked hesitant. Lincoln caught the look and stood in front of her. "You don't have to do this Jess. You're whole life is here. I don't want to ruin that for you." he told her. She smiled up at him. "I love you Linc. If I have to go on the run with you to be with you then that's what I'm doing." she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. She pulled away before he got a chance to respond. Lincoln looked over at his dad. "You know the area is going to be swarming with cops right?" as asked as they started to get settled in the car. "There's an old access road by the river, hopefully they don't have it blocked off yet." he informed them. Jessica turned when she heard a car pull up. "Guys we have a problem." she informed them when she spotted Kellerman. "Come on out this way." Aldo told them. Jessica started to follow them but stopped and grabbed a gun. She checked to see if it was loaded and rushed after them. She followed behind them through the maze of junk cars. With the gun tucked behind her she followed as Aldo continued to lead them away. They stopped when they saw the police cars drive past them. "Shit, Jason." Jessica whispered to herself. She caught movement out of the corner of her eye. "Hey." she grabbed Lincoln's shoulder lightly. "We're being followed." she whispered to them. "I'll head him off, you just get out of here." she told them. Lincoln looked her way. "I love you Jess." he confessed. "I love you too. Now go." she watched as they continued on. Jessica moved around to go back to get behind Kellerman. She spotted him as he put a silencer on his gun. She moved so she was behind him. "Drop it right now." she commanded pointing the gun into the back of his head.
Jason followed the directions that Paul gave him. Soon he was right behind of where Burrows was standing. He aimed his gun to point right at Lincoln. For a second he forgot that he was a cop. All he saw was the man who took the woman he was in love with away from him. He wanted to kill him so bad. "Hey, turn around." he heard himself commanding. He watched as Lincoln slowly turned around.
"Stand up slowly." Jessica demanded. She watched as Paul dropped his gun and raised his hands in the air as he stood up. She glared at him. "I told you that I would stop you." she whispered to him before hitting him in the head with the gun knocking him unconscious.
Jason was ready to pull the trigger when Lincoln shouted out. "Bellick! Don't shoot!" he exclaimed. Jason grunted in anger and moved into view as if to herd Burrows out for the other cops. "Where's Jessica Donovan?" Jason asked Lincoln as he was shoved to the ground being handcuffed. "I'm right here." Jessica shouted coming into view of everyone. She raised her hands as the cops trained their guns on her. "Lower your guns." Jason demanded as he engulfed Jessica in a hug. Jessica looked at Lincoln as he was being led into a cop car. "Are you alright?" Jason asked her as the medics checked out her wounds. "I'm fine just a couple scrapes." she informed him after the medics gave her the OK. "Good, I was worried about you." he told her. He led her to his car and put her in the passenger seat. He gave Lincoln one last glare as the cop car drove past him.
Jessica slowly walked into the warden's office. He watched her with weary eyes. "I know what this looks like-" he cuts her off. "It is exactly what it looks like!" he angrily exclaimed. "I trusted you Jessica. I trusted you to uphold the law and transfer a prisoner without trouble." he continued. "I know you did, but somebody really did try to kill us-" he wouldn't let her continue. "I don't believe either one of you. You will be removed from this building and your visitation will be revoked." he informed her. Jessica scoffed at him. "I'm sorry that you don't believe me, but I'm telling you the truth." she turned and left the room. She made it out of the parking lot before she let the tears flow. She really lost him this time. She was going to lose him forever.
