Without Her

Chapter 51 - Revenge

Jac breathes in deeply, feeling the cold metal against her head.

She's dragged into the bathroom more, and eventually she speaks up.

"What do you want from me? Who are you?" She asks, clearly scared.

The person turns her around, to face them.

"You?" Jac says shocked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here for revenge." The person replies.

"How did you get out?" She asks, "Why do you want revenge?"

"I got let out on bail." He says "I want revenge because you got me thrown in prison, you took away the love of my life."

"No I didn't." Jac replies "You did that all, by yourself."

The man, pushes the gun closer to her head.

"Remi, you need help." She says, trying to keep herself steady.

Meanwhile...

Kian is standing at the church waiting with Fletch, Nicky and Sacha.

Kian looks down at his watch, while Nicky and Sacha are talking.

"Fletch, have you seen Jac?" Kian asks, tapping his foot a bit impatiently.

"The last time I saw her was, nine this morning." Fletch replies, "Why?"

"Well, she was supposed to be here twenty minutes ago." He sighs, getting worried.

"Sacha, have you seen Jac?" Fletch asks, striding over.

"No, not since 12. Why?" He asks, confused.

"Like Kian said, she was supposed to be here twenty minutes ago."

"Maybe she's just late?" Nicky, butts in.

"No, she wouldn't be late to her wedding. And if she was going to be she would ring us in advance." Fletch replies.

"Oh God, somethings wrong isn't it?" Kian says, starting to pace.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital...

"You don't need to do this." Jac says, as he takes her phone off her.

"Right, I want you to ring Mr. Lover man. I want you to ring him and say goodbye." Remi replies.

"What?" She says, confused.

He bends down to her level, and cups her chin "You didn't seriously, think you'd get out of this alive. Did you?"

"You can't, I have kids." She replies "They need me."

"I'm sure they can live without you, it's not like you're the most important person in their life."

"They need me!" Jac shouts a bit, "My kids, they can't grow up without a mother."

"Okay, then you'll do as I say." He demands, passing her back her phone.

"Why should I?" She responds, looking up at him.

"Because if you don't, you're going to die." He smiles, manically "And there's nobody here to save you."

"You wouldn't kill me, you can't."

"Can't I?" He says, getting a bit closer to her "You'e going to die, why don't you understand that?"

She whimpers, upset and scared.

Meanwhile...

Kian is still pacing, he has to get back to the hospital. He can feel it, she's in danger.

"I should get back to the hospital, somethings wrong I can feel it." He says, starting to walk away.

"Kian, wait!" Sacha shouts after him, "I'll come with you."

"Thanks, Sacha." He smiles, just as they walk to leave Kian's phone rings.

"Its her." He says, as he picks up.

"Jac?" Kian says, confused.

"Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I love you and that I'm sorry." She cries, "But I have to go, just look after the kids for me. Please."

"What do you mean?!" He asks, getting frantic.

"I'm sorry." Jac says, as she cries some more.

Remi nods his head at her, and mouths "You're doing good."

"But I can't stay here anymore, I'm done."

"What about the kids?"

"They have you, they don't need me." She says, as she hangs up.

Kian drops the phone in shock, and he falls along with it.

He crumbles into a ball, and starts to cry.

Sacha bends down and hugs him "Maybe, we can stop her?"

"It's too late, she's gone."

"No, she wouldn't leave just like that." Sacha replies, "That isn't Jac."

"Then why would she, say that?" Kian says, cocking his head.

"Oh God." Kian says, clamping his hand over his mouth "Something is wrong, I need to go!"

Kian runs off, and gets into his car.

He wasn't going to let anything happen to her, not now.

Meanwhile...

Remi looks out the door of the bathroom, and sees the Ward is empty.

He walks behind her, and wraps his arms around her body. Still pointing the gun at her.

"Where are we going?" She asks, concerned.

"Somewhere fun, so I can get my payback." He responds.

Jac exhales deeply, as they walk out of the bathroom.

He has to sort of drag Jac along, as she is being resistant.

"If you don't stop that, I'll shoot you right now." He threatens.

"Oh yeah, would you really? You're like, look at me I'm some big gunman!" She mocks him.

"Mock me again, I dare you." He says, angrily.

"We've been through this before, just shoot me if you're planning to."

"Oh, trust me I will." He smiles.

They use the back exit to escape, and go through the basement.

That's when they are stopped, by none other than Kian.

"Hey!" He shouts "Let go of her!"

"Kian, leave it." Jac says, feeling the cold metal get closer to her.

"No! I'm not letting him hurt you." Kian responds, walking closer.

"Kian, please I'm okay." She replies, trying to calm him down.

"No, you're not okay." Kian replies "How could you be okay? You're being held at gun point."

"I've been through this before, and we all know how this ends." She says.

"I can't let you die, the kids need you." Kian says, inching closer to them "You need help." He says, looking at Remi.

"Well then I suppose, you can say goodbye to the love of your life then." Remi says, to Kian with a grin.

"No!" Kian shouts, as the gun goes off.

Blood trickles, pale falls.

The hospital comes to a halt, as the gunshot rings out.

Somebody's life is lost, somebody's love.

Death, comes to everyone at some point.
