"JEEEEN !!!"
My legs immediately runs out of the woman toilet. They know where they must to go. That cleaning service guy!! Jennifer must be hidden in his giant dumpster.
In the next second, that guy's back is already seen by my sight. Within few seconds, my hand already can reach his shoulder. I pull his shoulder hard until he is jolted back. I throw him on the floor. Careless with his painful scream and angry shout, I open the dumpster's lid, panic I call her name again, "Jen !!"
The dumpster is empty. It has nothing in it, especially... it has no Jennifer in it.
I grab the man's collar and with one pull force him to stand. Less than a second, I twist my arm around his neck. "Where is she ?" I ask him, putting a lot of threats in it.
"I... I don't know !!!" He answers in stammered. I hit him once on his stomach. He spits a mouthful of blood while groans in pain at once. I then choke him on his throat.
"Where... is... my wife ?" I, once again, ask him. My voice assure him that if he gives a wrong answer, he will breathe his last breath.
"Back.. door..," he whispers with a choke sound.
I slap him on his jaw to make him unconscious before throwing him back on the floor. I then run back toward the woman toilet. I vaguely remember that I saw a door at the end of the aisle.
"Fighter jet," I whisper toward my self, telling my brain to go on fighter jet mode while my feet don't stop running.
The door at the end of the aisle leads me to outside of the airport. Everything is freeze, even an airplane that is about to land. I run toward parking area where there are a lot of cars there.
"Jen !!!" I shout, hoping that Jennifer somehow can hear, and more importantly replies me.
Like a mad man, I run through every car in the parking lot, knocking their trunk hoods and calling Jennifer over and over. It is in vain. I almost reach the parking lot gate, which is at the very end of the airport. There are few cars queueing to go out of the airport.
Desperately, I shout one more time, "Jen !!!!!"
Like hallucinating, I hear a meek reply, "Scott..."
"Jen !! Jen !! Where are you ?!?!" I don't believe in hallucination. Not at this moment at least.
"Scott !!" the voice is slightly louder now.
"Jen !! Keep on calling me !! I'll find you !!" I move my feet closer to the voice. I hear Jennifer keeps calling on my name, and it becomes louder and louder. The first car in the queue !!
There are four men inside that car, with no Jennifer within them. But I know better that Jennifer definitely in that car.
I open the driver side door. With one grab I pull the driver out of the car. With another pull, the man on the passenger side is also flying out of the car.
In a super slow motion, two men in the back are trying to pull their weapons. But their hands don't even reach their waist when my punches arrive at both of their jaws. I go to the back and pull them out.
I decide to take Jennifer out of the trunk first before dealing with them. I quickly open the trunk hood. I breathe a sigh of relieve to find Jennifer is lying inside it.
"Scott !!" Jennifer whispers in slow motion.
"Are you okay, Baby ?" I ask her while helping her out from the trunk.
Jennifer nods with her pale yet full of sweat face. She then hugs me.
"I'm sorry, Baby... I'm sorry," I whisper to her, rubbing her back in circle move.
"Who are they ?" she asks, still in whisper.
Jennifer's question brings me back to my thought of interrogating those men. I let go my embrace to Jennifer and turn my body toward those men. But they were gone!
"Shit !!" I curse. I'm sure they were still lying on the ground merely few seconds ago. My few seconds of fighter jet mode ! Which means, it was merely few milli... no maybe even nano seconds of human speed. There is no way they can disappear just like that. Unless...
"Go inside the car now !!" I order Jennifer, pulling her to the passenger side and help her slide inside the car. I then run to the driver side. I ought to turn my brain into normal human speed before driving the car, or else.. the car would be broken down like my motorcycle before.
"Who are they ?" Once again Jennifer asks me the same question.
"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing they are from the organization," I answer her, still focusing my sight on the road.
"What ?? Lily ??"
"I'm afraid so.." I say with gritted teeth. "Bruno helped her," I add.
"One who can disappear ?"
I nod. "The men who kidnapped you, They disappear. The only explanation is Bruno took them," I explain. Somehow, I feel being betrayed by Bruno. I don't expect Bruno would help Lily's plan in harming Jennifer.
I deliberately take a road to opposite direction from downtown.
"Where are we going ?" Jennifer asks when she is noticing we are not going to our apartment.
"Hiding. My logic says, Bruno can't appear to places he doesn't know." I answer then turning my head toward Jennifer and smile to calm her down, "I have a cabin near the mountain. Let's just say we prolong our honeymoon."
Jennifer looks at me in the eyes for a second then smiles and squeezes my lower arm slightly. "Okay. I will let my office know."
Jenifer then takes her hand bag and starts to find her phone. It is when the tail of my eyes see something missing from her.
"Where is your bracelet ?" I ask her, instantly worry is slipped in it.
Jennifer stops her finding to look at her arm. "That woman !!" She shouts.
"What woman ?"
"In the toilet, when I washed my hand. There was this woman. She was praising my bracelet, saying how beautiful it was. that I was lucky I could have it. But somehow, her tone was so annoying. Like... she wanted to take my bracelet. So I... I took it off and kept it in my hand bag," Jennifer says then grabbing her hand bag again. "It's gone ! My bracelet is gone !!" She says in panic.
"Charlotte.." I murmur.
"Who is she ?"
"My ex-teammate that can bend minds. What happened after that ?"
"I... I'm not sure..." she says. Her forehead is frowning deep as she tries to remember. "I went out from the toilet... Aaah!! Someone grabbed me from behind then another hand putting something in front of my nose, then I felt dizzy."
I grit my teeth to suppress my emotion.
"Are you okay now ? The baby okay ?" I ask her again.
Jennifer nods. "Yeah... Thank God Sophie is tough," she says, rubbing her belly. I also stretch my right arm to rub her belly.
For the next twenty to thirty minutes there is silence between us. Jennifer has texted Matt to tell him about our 'vacation' then rest her head on the head of the seat. We are on a road to the mountain now. It is not too wide, only big enough for two cars. I keep my speed at the maximum limit to avoid being stopped by cops.
"This truck is illegal," I murmur when a truck cuts me in one of a junction. It is a huge open truck carrying long iron poles. It is illegal in this country to carry things in open truck.
"It's dangerous to carry those things like that" Jennifer says. I nod. I then try to overtake the truck few times, but fails due to the crowded traffic and narrow road.
Knowing that I can't overtake the truck, I decide to slow down, making a safe distance from the truck. But suddenly the truck is making a sudden break. In reflex, I also take a sudden break.
"Scott!!" Jennifer shouts in scare.
Fortunately, my car stops right before it touches the truck.
"Sorry, Babe," I apologize to her after taking a huge sigh of relieve.
The truck then starts to move again. When I'm about to drive the car, suddenly I hear a loud sound, like something is broken. Then a split second later, I see all iron poles on the truck start to move rapidly toward us.
"SHIT !!" I exclaim in the same time with Jennifer is shouting out my name.
I then taking off my seat belt and throw my body to cover Jennifer. I try my best to protect both Jennifer upper body and our baby in her belly. But with my position, I have to choose one of them.
"The baby..." Jennifer whispers onto my ear while her hands push my body down, asking me to protect her belly more.
I slide down my body to cover her belly. Right at that time I hear the car's front mirror is breaking then a lot of heavy iron poles start to hit me.
"Argh !!" I shout in pain while blood is squirting out from my mouth.
In between ringing sound in my ear, I hear a whisper saying, "Head down !"
Without time to analyze, my head reflexively obeys the order.
In another split second, something goes right above my head, then I hear Jennifer's scream, "Aaaaaaaaach!!"
"No !! Jen !!" At that moment, I regret bowing my head. I can only turn my head slightly to see Jennifer. There is an iron cable, as thick as half inch piercing her chest.
I want to help her, but I can't. I can't move my body at all.
"Jen !! Jen !! Hang on, Baby.. Hang on!!"
Jennifer doesn't reply.
"Jen !! No !! Hang on, Baby, Please.. Help !! Help !! Somebody, Help !!" I shout in panic.
The door beside Jennifer is opened. I turn my head try to see who it is. Bruno.
With a touch, Bruno breaks the iron cable that stuck on Jennifer's chest. He then slips his hands, one behind Jennifer's back, the other is under Jennifer's thigh.
"No !! Don't bring her !! Please, Bruno.. Please!!"
"She'll be safe," Bruno says. "You know where to find her." He then disappear, with Jennifer.
