Jessie stirred slightly, her head hurt like hell. She must be imagining things, how did she get here. She kept hearing muffled sounds and movement, and she felt like she laying on her front. The bed underneath her body was strong and lumpy and incredibly uncomfortable. The bedspread was coarse and itchy underneath her cheek. Why did she keep seeing Jason's face? Why was she calling out to her? Why did she want to walk away with him. She knew it was a dream because even when she held his hands she couldn't feel a thing, but the uncomfortable mattress beneath her felt incredibly real.

She would see Jason, with the most beautiful smile that could grace a man's face, holding his hand out to her. The she would see Tony holding a gun to her head and apologising for killing her, next thing she hearing all this sounds of people discussing. She was incredibly confused what is real? What is fake? Why is Tony holding a gun to her head? Why was the bed beneath her body incredibly itchy? But the question that confused her the most was why was Jason smiling so sweetly? He never smiled, always wearing scowl, the bitter man. Why was she seeing him? Was he really there? What was going on?

All this questions where answered in an instant, when she felt a searing pain behind her neck, along her shoulders. She didn't see Tony or his gun with his sad eyes anymore, she didn't she Jason with his beautiful smile and outstretched hand. She opened her eyes and she saw a dark dreary room, with peeling walls and a dingy old couch. She heard clearly now and she knew exactly what was going on.

"Ahhhh!!!!" She screamed as the assault of her shoulder continued. It felt as if someone was slicing into her flesh and she felt incredibly weak and painful.

"Hey, hey Jessie it's okay, it's okay. It'll be okay in just a few minutes." A voice cooed her, rubbing her head.

"Ahhhh!!!!" She screamed. Next thing she felt something digging into the open skin that bled down unto the scratchy bed. She tried to struggle but she found her hands were tired above her head and hands held her legs down.

But before long the digging was done and she heard a clang, she finally managed to look up and she saw Tony, kneeling down by the bed beside her.

She tried to sit up but he held her down. "Don't move, they need to stitch the wound." He whispered.

"What?" She said weakly. "Ah!!" She groaned when a cold liquid that caused stinging was poured over the wound.

"Here bite in this" Tony said handing her a white cloth.

Jessie glared at him and slapped the fabric out of his hands and unto the floor.

"Jessie" Tony pleaded softly, but she wasn't listening to anything, tears biting at her eyes a the needle entered her skin. She blinked the down, feeling every single thing, how the needle passed through her flesh, and the thread was pulled along, closing the open flesh.

After they were done, Tony ordered all the men to leave the room and sat her up, untying her hands.

"Jessie, look at me." He said.

Jessie looked away, sobbing quietly. "Why?" She said softly. "Why are you doing this? Who is making you do this?"

"It's not what you think Jessie, I'm trying to protect you."

"Protect me? How does kidnapping me, making me unconscious and ripping my flesh open protecting me!" She cried.

"I had to get you away from that man Jessie, he's not good for you." Tony replied.

"What?! Not good for me? What right do you have to say that after everything you done to me today?" Jessie said. "Tony! What the hell?"

"Can't you see? You're been misled, blinded by you feelings for his man how could you want to stay with him? After everything he has done to you?" Tony asked.

"And that's any better to what you've done?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yes! I'm trying to save you ans protect you, he isn't."

"Again Tony how is this protecting me?! What makes you think kidnapping me is okay? I am a grown woman for crying out loud, I can make my own decisions!" She yelled.

"He's engaged to Patricia Lee, he bought you from a friggin auction house and he is keeping you in his house like some kind of trophy." Tony spat. "He's only keeping you there because he is trying to keep an eye on you for his Fiancee and you are blinded like a fool because you've gone and fallen in love with him."

"Shut the hell up Tony, you don't know anything so stop just stop!" Jessie screamed. "Jason has nothing to do with this, why are you so dense! All I'm doing is staying with him, until I can prove me innocence okay? Yes he's engaged to Patricia but that doesn't mean he doesn't hate her as much as I do, and he made a mistake purchasing me like some property. But he gave me my freedom Tony, I'm even glad he's the only that got me, imagine I was bought by some disgusting man that would use my body like some rag."

Tony stared at her in disbelief and silent resolve. "You're even in deeper than I imagined." He shook his head. "How deluded are you? If he really was Patricia enemy why the hell hasn't he exposed her? Instead he is a having wonderful date with her."

"What rubbish are you saying?" She scoffed.

"Look at this, he went to visit her in the hospital yesterday. Didn't you say he went to investigate something with your other 'allies'?" Tony asked.

Showing her a picture of Jason walking by the hospital park with Patricia. "He left you in that boutique and went to see his fiancee and like a fool they keep playing you."

Jessie stared at the picture, her resolve breaking slightly, why did this make her sad? Why did she feel betrayed? Did he lie to her then? Shaking her head she tired to get rid of the feelings, he didn't owe her anything. Patricia is his Fiancee afterall. But why did it hurt to see the both of them together?

"She is his Fiancee afterall, is she not? I am not in any form of relationship with Jason so that doesn't mean anything." She said looking away.

"Really why did he lie to you then? Why did you have to sneak around to stalk Patricia?" Tony

asked.

Jessie frowned beginning to regret telling him every single possible detail. Look at where her big mouth got her.

"I'll ask you one question, answer me honestly Jessie." Tony said, putting the phone back into his pocket. "When Jason found out what you did to Patricia in that spa, how did he react?"

Jessie frowned, Jason wasn't at all happy, infact he was incredibly mad.

"You see, you can't answer because you know I'm right. I'll even be so bold to assume that he never supported any idea to go after Patricia Lee, I'm I right?" Tony said.

Jessie looked down at her lap and struggled to blink back the tears that threatened to fall, if she cried now she would only be confirming Tony's assumptions. And Jason wasn't like that, right? He did hate it when she brought up Patricia, and he was totally pissed when he found out about she and Katherine. And he lied to her in the boutique, why wouldn't he just tell her he was going to see Patricia? 

"And look over there" Tony pointed to the bloody platter. He walked over to pick it up and walked back to her. "Do you know what this is? A Gps device, my guess is you've had in you since the trafficking house or whatever it is called. And I'm sure you had no idea it was in you. You call that him giving you your freedom? How is knowing where you are, every single time freedom?" He asked.

Jessie stared at the gps in disbelief, the tears she so desperately tried to stop flowed freely and she couldn't stop them. Biting her lips she shook her head, was Jason really the bad guy? Was he really an ally for Patricia? Even if all other things were circumstantial evidence this small black thing in front of her wasn't.

She began to sob gently, hiding her face in her palms she cried. She didn't want to believe it, she couldn't believe it. Was it all fake then? Saving her from the angry crowd, saying he always wanted to kiss her, cooked her a meal? Was it all fake? How desperately emotional he became when she insisted on going after Patricia, she always thought that annoyance and possesiveness was because be wanted her to be safe, was it because he wanted Patricia to be safe?

"Hey Jessie, don't cry. I promise I won't let anyone else hurt you anymore, you can trust me." Tony said, reaching out to touch her shoulder, but she shrugged him off.

"Don't touch me! Don't." She cried.

"Jessie, we have to go. There's someone you need to meet." Tony said.

She looked up at him, and coincidentally there was a knock aganist the door.

"That must be the person, stand up we can't stay here anymore. I'm sure Jason is one his way now." Tony said.

Jessie stood up and turned to the door while Tony walked to open the door.

Jessie jaw dropped and her eyes widened when she saw the person behind the door. No way! She looked at Tony in absolute disbelief, he couldn't do this, no way Tony wasn't like this. Right?
