"I don't understand!" I slammed my hands on the table.
He laughed "My best friend is Lucas Crawford so I know everything and even things that you don't know. He is watching"
He laughed and folded his arms against his chest.
"Where is he?" I asked.
Again he didn't answer, he just laughed. To be honest he was starting to get on my nerves.
"I can have you prosecuted for aiding and abetting a criminal" Sam said "You'll get at least five years that is, unless you help us to find him. If you do I can put in a good word to the judge and maybe get you a shorter sentence but you need to help us first"
He laughed "I don't care"
I was getting sick of it. His jokes and him baiting me but this was getting us nowhere. I grabbed him by the throat "Where the hell is he?"
Sam pulled me off him "Jack that was definitely not a good idea"
He laughed "I am never going to tell you, its for me to know and you to never find out"
I paced up and down the room, trying to block him out of my thoughts. I could feel Sam's eyes pinned on me like she was terrified that I would suddenly decide to murder my estranged uncle. She was probably trying to decide if it was a good idea to let me try to talk to him after all.
He left me with a bigger dilemma. I needed to decide whether to tell Kim about my estranged uncle, who is apparently the best friend of the bastard who is destroying Kim's life. With Kim being pregnant I wasn't sure if would cause Kim more stress especially because her mother is back after leaving her with the bastard in the first place, and she knew what he was capable of. The doctors had warned me and the guys about trying not to cause any stress for Kim but after what I tell her her stress levels would be sky high.
Sam put her hand on my shoulder "We need to interview him properly"
I nodded.
"I'll send Lucas your regards Jack" He called as I left the room.
Sam led me into the room next door where Milton and Jerry had been waiting and watching.
I said absolutely nothing. I was in panic mode. For once in my life I didn't have a clue or a plan of what to do next.
"What do you want to do?" Milton asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. I promised Kim that I wouldn't keep any more secrets from her but I has also promised the doctor that I would try to look after Kim and keep her stress free. Yeah like I could achieve that now that Kim could still be in danger...
"Jack? Yoo hoo!" Jerry said waving his hand in front of my face.
I walked out the room without saying a word. I honestly didn't know, I need time alone to think.
Kim
It sucks being stuck in hospital, especially when there is actually not anything wrong with me. Okay I was stabbed in the side but that is healing and the baby wasn't affected. The stupid doctors and nurses keep making plenty of excuses to keep me in the hospital and have made it pretty clear that the only hope that I have to get out of here would be if my mother would agree to sign the consent forms (I wish I am eighteen so I could do it myself) so that I can be discharged but since I have to rely on mum I have a better chance of seeing pigs fly.
Since Jack left to go to the police station my mum hadn't said anything. I had tried talking to her and asking her questions about Maddi and where they had been living and such but she is reluctant to speak at all. The one thing I truly care about is Maddi and I want to see her but mother looks like she isn't going to let me. Only mum can grant my wish to see my little sister again.
Jack had been gone a couple of hours now. I would have thought he would have been back by now. What could he be doing?
Saraiya knocked on the door. "Kim sorry to interrupt but its time for a scan"
"What scan?" Mother asked.
"Mrs Crawford we still have to makesure that Kim is healing internally the best way for that is a CT Scan"
I sighed as she helped me into a wheelchair and wheeled me towards the scan room.
Saraiya smiled weakly "If the test results come back positive the doctor has said you can go home"
I nodded, just the thought of home made me feel queasy. "Its not my home not any more its just a bad memory"
But maybe I could go live with mum and Maddi for a bit. Or maybe go live with Jack.
"Its going to be okay you and your baby are going to be okay" she said placing her hand on my shoulder. "You are not alone you have Jack and Milton and Jerry to help you"
I looked down. I hadn't noticed but while she was talking I had placed my hand on my stomach as if I was trying to protect my baby from my thoughts. "Jack would help and Milton would too but I think Jerry is just like a big baby sometimes, I don't think that he would be much help "
Saraiya helped me onto the waiting bed and then washed her hands. "We're going to do an ultrasound just to see how your baby is doing"
I pulled up my hospital gown and shivered as she spread that clear cold jelly like substance onto my stomach so she could see the baby.
