Chapter 39

Jeff was still pacing alone in the home he was supposed to be sharing with Jordan. It was the new home that they had picked out in hopes of raising all of their kids there, it was a special place that they had seen as safe and quiet, a place that would be great for them as celebrities to hide out in and a place that would be amazing to raise the babies they wanted to have together. Jeff could tell that his brother was trying to find a way to be there for him, but there was nothing he could do for him, not now that he was trying to pretend that Jordan had betrayed him, but that wasn't true, Jordan would never ever betray him and he knew it. He knew that someone was holding his wife and forcing her to stay out of contact with him, and who knew if they were even treating her right or letting her get the medical help she needed to have while pregnant, who knew if they were giving her the prenatal vitamins that she needed to take to be sure she was ok and so was the baby she was carrying.

"I think that Shawn has to be in on this!" Jeff growled out in a pissed off voice.

"Well it would make sense. You would think that this guy would care about his sister, and not decide to hurt someone who was supposed to mean something to him." Matt said with a sigh.

"I need to find Jordan, I need to find her before something bad happens to her or to our baby." Jeff said with a shake of his head, the worry in his eyes was evident, he wanted his wife back and he was scared out of his mind that he would never see her alive again.

Jordan was cold, she was so cold she was shivering as she stayed in the basement. She knew that the leader of whatever group this was, was still trying to decide whether or not he could trust her if he released her. As far as Jordan was concerned, if this was man was tricked into kidnapping her, then he was a victim as well as she was, but she knew he wouldn't believe her if she told him that. She was scared out of her mind that they wouldn't believe that she was on their side, that all she really wanted was to go home to her husband and be with him so he could help her through her pregnancy and help her give birth to their child. She knew that if they decided not to allow her to go home, then she would die inside because without Jeff she was no one. The betrayal of her family was hurting her worse then she thought it would, her family was supposed to be important and special to her, people she could always rely on and count on to be there for her.

"Please let them take me home, please I just want to go home." Jordan said, her voice breaking as tears fell from her eyes and she knew that they had to be red and swollen from all the crying she had been doing.

"Ma'am, everything is going to be all right, I swear it will be." A young woman that Jordan had never seen before said as she came into the room, and the food she had was a lot better than what Jordan had been getting before. Jordan was starting to realize that they were going to take better care of her, but that didn't mean they were going to allow her to go home or that they were ever going to allow her to leave them. "He will always love you and take care of you here."

"I want to go home to my husband! I want to raise my baby with my husband!" Jordan said, crying harder at the thought of never leaving this place, of never seeing the man she loved.

"Ma'am, he will be a loving father to that baby if need be." The woman said, not realizing she was only making things worse.

"Please just stop talking, I don't even want to eat anymore." Jordan said as she decided if they weren't going to let her leave, then she would just stop eating and drinking, then she would be allowed to die and they wouldn't have her baby and they couldn't make her stay, and maybe she wouldn't feel the pain of losing Jeff in her life. She had no idea how much it would hurt not to be with him, and now she was even more grateful that he pushed so hard for her to be with him, never giving up on their relationship when she wanted to. She knew she had her family to blame for all of this, she knew she did.

"You can't just stop eating, you need to feed that baby." The woman said, shocked.

"Go away." Jordan said, turning her back to the woman and closing her eyes.

The man was standing in the room, watching as the young woman was giving up, and that worried him. He could tell the woman loved her husband and her unborn baby, but she had no hope of ever getting home to the man she loved so much. He knew that she would never turn him in, and a part of him wanted to believe that she would be all right if she went home, but if he let her go home, he couldn't be sure that she would be safe from the very people who made him do this to her in the first place, but if he didn't give her some hope he would be the one that took her life without meaning to. He thought hard and tried to figure out a way to make sure that she would eat, that she would take care of herself. He wanted to get her out of the cold and damp basement, take her up into the nice warm and cozy house, but he couldn't be sure she wouldn't run away if he did that. He needed a plan and he needed one fast.
