The evening breeze was slow and calm, as the perfectly wonderful day came to a close. The sky looked beautiful in the twilight, the sky a mixture of light and dark, the blue contrasting with the retreating orange of the sun. And to add a cherry to the perfect sundae that was this day, the road were clear as day, no traffic no noise. the cars drove past with a whiff, adding a perfect symphony to the beautiful view.
But none of this mattered to Jason, or the two people terrified out of their wits trying to calm the enraged man driving faster than he should.
All he wanted was for Jessie to be safe in his apartment he didn't care if he tore the city to peices in the process.
"Where do I turn from this street?" Jason asked.
"Uh..."
"Damn Paul where the fuck do I turn?" He yelled.
"I don't know the dot is gone." Paul said.
The car came to a screeching halt and they all jerked in their sits, Katherine was so glad she was sitting at the back, she wasn't interested in flying out of a windscreen.
"What do you mean by it's gone?!" Jason yelled.
"I mean it's gone, vanished, disappeared." Paul replied, trying to remain as calm as possible. His friend wasn't exactly very friendly right at the moment.
Jason took the tracker and stared it, clenching his teeth he fisted his arm to stop himself from pounding of the steering.
His phone buzzed in his pocket and he removed it to see a text from an unknown number.
Jason stared at the message, he read it like three times. Over and over but he couldn't explain why he felt completely numb.
Paul tapped him, jerking him away from his trance. "What's that?" He asked and pulled the phone out of his grasp.
"Jason... It's Jessie. I lost my phone that's why the number is different, just wanted to tell you that I'm leaving and you shouldn't look for me. I'm incredibly grateful for everything you've done for me up until now, but I'm afraid I must leave now. I met my manager and he has convinced me to leave so that's what I'm going to do. You were right I shouldn't go after the Lees, I can't have anyone else die because of my foolishness. While the casualties are still down to one I'm going to call it quits, I have no idea where I'm going now, but I can't stay here anymore. I promise to be safe and I glad I got to know you, even though we didn't meet in the nicest of conditions, I will never forget you.
By the way I found the GPS, not cool. Don't look for me, not that you should anyway. Tell Katherine and Paul bye on my behalf, and tell them I am incredibly grateful for their help. I will forever be in your debts, goodbye Jason." Paul read out loud.
The care was silent for a bit, before Paul broke the silence. "So that was an incredible waste of time." Paul sighed.
"I can't believe she just left" Katherine said slowly.
"Neither can I, but I guess it must have been too much too handle. None of us can relate to what she's been through. Steve's death must have hit her harder than we thought." Paul said.
Katherine wiped the tear that fell down her cheek. "I just can't stomach the fact that Patricia is going to get away with this."
"Jason? Bro are you alright?" Paul asked slowly.
Jason lifted his head and looked at Paul, "that isn't Jessie." He said.
"What do you mean that isn't Jessie? Who else would know about what she just said?" Paul asked.
"I don't care, I'm not going to accept any flimsy text, I'm going to find Jessie's right now." He stated bluntly.
"How are you even going to that? The Gps is out!" Paul yelled.
Katherine held Paul's upper arm and shook her head. "Let him do what he wants to" she whispered to him.
Jason turned on the car and began to drive again.
"Jason, Jason! What the hell are you doing, where are we going?" Paul asked.
"The last place we received a signal, we might find a clue there." He said curtly.
Paul looked at Katherine, and Katherine just shook her head. He needed to do this, indeed a text message was too shallow for a goodbye.
They drove to the motel, it was shabbier than the others they'd been to. After parking,Jason was out of the car in a flash. Paul and Katherine followed close behind him trying to stop him from doing anything regretful in a fit of rage.
"Excuse me, have you seen this woman?" He asked, showing the man at the counter Jessie's picture.
"Hmm.. I don't know if I have, what's it to you?" The man asked.
"Answer me right now, I don't have time to waste, have you seen this woman?!" He yelled.
"I don't know if I have, I might remember if I have some encouragement, don't you think?" The man smiled showing his dirty brown teeth.
Jason scrunched his face in disgust, he didn't carry cash so he turned to look at Paul.
Paul sighed and removed money, dropping it on the counter.
The man picked the money and smiled at them again. "I have, I didn't see her come in but she left with two men. One fancy dressin' too."
"Was she forced?" Paul asked.
"I might have forgotten that as well, need some joggin' of my memory." He smiled again.
"Would you just answer the question?" Jason growled.
"Pretty stingy are you, look at that car over there." He pointed to their Porsche parked outside. "I'm sure you guys can do a lot better huh?"
Paul groaned, pulling out all the money from inside his wallet he dumped it on the counter.
"Talk."
The man nodded at him and continued.
"Not that I recall, she did look pretty sad, I remember thinkin' of such a pretty sad face." The man nodded.
"You see Jason it's nothing out of the ordinary, let's go. She's gone." Paul said grabbing Jason's arm.
"Let me go" he snarled, snatching his arm out of Paul's grip. "I can't believe that, I just can't!"
Paul frowned this was getting really annoying.
"Why? She's gone Jason get over it. Shouldn't you even be happy? She's finally moving on, I mean you did what you could for her but now she's gone, there finished. Let's just all go back to our lives." He stated.
"I can't accept it, Jessie wouldn't give up so easily, she wouldn't." Jason said still contemplating with himself.
"Well you better believe cause that is what happened. Let's go, I'll drive." He said pulling Jason out of the motel back to their car.

Jessie stared at the man in front of her in disbelief, she was sure her eyes were playing tricks on her. Until he called her name. Her real name, she knew there was no trickery.
"Ae ra."
"Dad?"
