He left her apartment
After walking every square inch, he left
He wasnt afraid he would miss her call now
She wouldnt call
Days had gone by
And they had been days without her
You should try to get some sleep
Jax appeared in the doorway of the gatehouse
Ned sighed at the sight of him
Im fine
Youre not fine, I know you not because Im not shes gone Ned
It hurt
Those words hurt
He knew she was gone why did he say it to him as if he didnt understand
Ned I found Helena... One ounce of hope made his heart flutter I dont think she has her
Good news, bad news
She actually seemed quite stunned that she was missing
What do you mean?
Im sure she usually keeps one of her four eyes on Alexis at all times and she seemed interested in knowing that she had disappeared and did we know what had happen to her
Do you think she could have been lying?
I threatened but she seemed intrigued more that she was missing rather than she was hiding something
Jax, who would do this to her?
Jax didnt know - he didnt know who or why , she had just disapeared
Flying
Flying above the gray skies into the blue
You havent said a word in hours
She turned her head towards the sound of his voice
He was fidgeting
She seemed to make him nervous instead of the other way around
What did I do to deserve this?
She was calm
You dont deserve this
She was surprised by his answer
Then why
Im protecting you
From who? Helena? I dont need you to keep me locked away from her, I mean if you wanted to protect me where were you when I was ten and I watched her slit my mothers throat?
Alexis Im sorry
Her words were harsh, but his sympathy was genuine
She no longer seemed angry with him, as angry. But she still wanted to know why?
Just tell me whats in it for you, why youre involved? Why you care if I live or die. Is it money? I can get you whatever amount you can dream of
Alexis its not money!
Her brown eyes pleaded for the truth
Then what is it?
Were changing the subject
Without a moment of thought she went for a case of sympathy
Do you know Ned?
Caulders heart pounded
He wouldnt lie to her anymore than he already had
I know of him
Hes the love of my life, she said letting out a nervous laugh. Its taken me almost six years to realize that. Isnt that hysterical? I mean the man even volunteered to be the father of my baby even after I left him at the alter and he forgave me and then wanted to take responsibility for a child that wasnt even his! Isnt that absurd?
Look Alexis Caulder tried to interrupt
She had hit a nerve, her guilt trip was working
Ever loved anyone like that?
The question that broke the camels back
No
An emphatic no
He was lying and she could see right through him she was a lawyer
What was her name?
I said no He snapped back
Her spark of intrigue faded
Sorry
No Im sorry, I didnt mean to snap at you
She waited a moment, then her snap back
Kidnapping is obviously not your forte
A great lawyer stays on subject to get the information needed
Howd you guess
Sarcasm was good, a step forward
She smiled for the first time
He smiled back unconsciously
She had a beautiful smile
A smile that made a man notice
Not perfect but extremely beautiful
Neds a lucky man
She was intrigued by his comment
Why do you say that?
You love him
Thats it thats what makes him a lucky man
Yeah thats it
Caulder?
Hmm?
Youre not doing this on your own
What?
If its not Helena then who?
You never give it a rest do you?
Not when Im trying to figure out a strategy to escape
Honesty
I have to protect you
I get that, Why?
Helena
Who are you protecting me for?
I cant say!
Why?
Because I cant
Why?
Because I promised him I would protect you
HIM
Caulder had given away clue number one, him
Whos Him?
Alexis!
Whos him, he, he wants to protect me? Who is he?
Caulder turned away from her, she was winning at her little game
Change the subject
We should be landing soon!
No tell me who he is?
Caulder refused to answer her anymore
Alexis shook her head in disbelief and then turned her head away from him so he couldnt see tears of frustration that had welled up in her eyes
Kidnapping indefinite
