Chapter 5: Kidnapped

Once Eddie left the studio, Roger and Jessica headed home. "Well today was fun," Jessica said glumly. Not only was this admirer threatening to take Roger away. This woman had the nerve to break into Roger's dressing room and destroy pictures of him and Jessica together. It made the red head's blood boil. Yet, she would remain calm and allow Eddie to do his job.

"Don't worry Jessica; Eddie is the best detective ever. If anyone can catch this admirer, it would be him," Roger said smiling.

I hope so, Roger, Jessica thought sadly. Just the thought of losing Roger scared her by far. When they were going through that Judge Doom thing, all Jessica could think about was finding Roger. To have him believe she cheated on him with Mr. Acme upset her. In her mind she still feared Roger would leave her thinking she never loved him. Then there was the time she used a frying pan to hit him over the head at the studio. She did that to make sure he wouldn't get hurt and to make sure she knew where he was. Jessica remembered that day well.

Once Roger fell to the ground, she came out of her hiding place. Slowly looking down to make sure he was out and placing her frying pan back in her purse. A frown formed on her lips when she saw him. Jessica knelt down to the ground and scooped him up in her arms. For a few brief moments she cradled him in her arms, softly crying. "I am so sorry honey bunny. I love you, I swear I do. You are the only one for me and once I catch the real murderer, I will make you believe I never stopped loving you," she whispered as she kissed the spot she hit him on. Then placed him in the trunk of her car and went to help Valiant.

She sat on the couch as a tear fell from her face. Once Doom, was killed and Roger was cleared of all charges, she wanted their lives back to normal. Instead some lunatic, was after her Roger, well she was not going to lose him, not this time. Roger saw Jessica frowning and knew why. Still he hated to see his darling wife upset and tried to make her laugh. "Hey Jessie watch this," he said sweetly. Jessica looked up and Roger curled his ears and made his eyes go wide. Then once he got her attention, took a hammer from his pocket in his overalls and hit himself on the head. Stars circled around him as he watched her reaction. She looked more worried than ever and he knew physical comedy was not going to be a good idea. So, he stood up and began to sing and dance.

I have a darling wife

She is my life

Singing like an angel from above

Face is lovely as a dove

Roger sang and began to tap dance on the floor. Jessica was trying very hard not to look amused. For, she wanted to stay focused but knew what Roger was doing. It was an endearing thing one, she was enjoying immensely.

I would give her flowers

That grew from April showers

She is the apple of my eye

I never make her cry

When she is sad

I do all I can to make her glad

I would give anything to see her smile

Even jog a hundred miles

Roger spun around as he danced looking at Jessica. Her face was brightening as a small was forming. He heard her clapping and soon got up and danced with him. Soon he was in her arms being spun around. They fell on the couch laughing and cuddling each other. "Oh Roger, I love your songs," she said softly.

"And I love to see you smile, Love Cups," Roger said happily. He did it Jessica was smiling again.

"I am sorry honey bunny, I am just worried about losing you," Jessica pouted holding him closer.

"Don't worry Jessica, like I said Eddie is on the case," Roger said.

"I know but I am still worried," she said stroking his hair on his head. "We just got our lives back and now they are being threatened," she said coldly.

"Oh come on Jessie, no sad face, I'll start dancing again," Roger said slowly placing his feet down. Jessica smiled and pulled him onto her lap.

"You make me so happy Roger, I just can't lose you," she said hugging him.

"And I don't want to lose you. I don't want an admirer just you and if this admirer were here I would tell her that. You are everything I ever wanted Jessica. To me, you are sweet and talented, fun to be with, smart and I love your smile. I can go on forever like I did last week," Roger said smiling. Jessica remembered for last week was their anniversary of their first date. Roger made her a cake and wrote all the things he loved about her. It was at least eight pages long and the funny thing was he had shortened it.

"Okay Roger darling, let's forget about admirers and just have a nice dinner together," she said.

"Good idea, I will help by taking out the trash," Roger said getting up. The trash needed to be taken out and Jessica didn't think anything of it. She was washing her hands and began to make some grilled cheese and carrot soup. It was getting dark and Roger hopped over to the trash can. When a black van drove up to him and the window was rolled down.

"Excuse me sir, but I seem lost could you give me directions?" asked the voice.

"Why sure, where do you need to go?" Roger asked smiling. Not even thinking about how dangerous this situation could be. Before he knew it he was hit on the head and his world went black. The figure grabbed him and stuffed him in the back seat. Jessica heard tires squealing and headed outside. Just as she came out the van drove away and Roger was gone.

"Roger, ROGER!" she screamed as tears fell from her face. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Roger had been kidnapped. Her heart was breaking as fear took her. No, please no, not my Roger," she moaned. Then just like that Jessica got a hold of herself and tried to focus. Jessica did the only thing she could do go back inside and call Eddie. Before she could call the phone rang and she answered it. "He-hello," she said unable to talk.

"Jessica, it is Eddie, I may know who is after Roger. I checked all the handwriting and looked at the security cameras. I called the police and they are helping us look. Our prime suspect is Helen," Eddie told her. The news reached Jessica's ears but fear was still in her heart.

"Eddie, if Helen is the admirer she just kidnapped Roger," she told him.

"I will inform the police, stay where you are Jess, I am on my way. We will find Roger and get him back safe and sound I promise," Eddie said. Once the line went dead Jessica for now felt hopeful, but if anything happened to her Roger and if Helen did do it, she would make Helen regret ever being born.
