Jack's Pov

I went inside to find Maureen still sitting looking thoughtful.

" What's going on Maureen? The baby ? " I asked her and she snap back to reality.

" No, i was thinking about han. " She said and I stare at her.
My phone rang preventing me to respond to her.

I picked up the call.

" Yes, you can. Be fast about it and no mistake " i said to logan and hang up.

" What's going on ? " Maureen ask standing immediately.

I stare at her and i notice she appear to be genuinely worried.

" Han was rescue but he is badly hurt. I told them to bring him here "

" Good " She said breathlessly and i got confused.

Normally i know we have the reason to get worried for han but Maureen's attitude which changes since she heard about Han being a stalker amaze me.

Laura walk in at that moment with some stuff.

" Doctor Sally is on her way " She said.

Maureen and I turn to her in surprise.

" How do you know we needed a doctor ? " I asked her softly and she stood still for a moment before smiling.

" Your voice was loud enough for me to hear from the outside " she said and i nodded.

" Did you call her already? You said she's on her way " Maureen asked.

" Yes, we have to be fast about it. We can't afford to loose the Young man... Right ? '' she asked and I nodded.

I turn and headed to my room.

I sat down on the bed tiredly and frown at my imagination.

Can Laura be trusted?
Is she the one who tried to abort Maureen's pregnancy?
How come does she know han was found injured . I asked myself

I shrugged, she must have heard by the doorway.
I told myself, trying not to see the truth.

I held my cellphone and stare at Jill's contact.

I debated on whether to call or her not.

Suddenly as though she has read my thoughts from afar her call came in and i answer almost immediately.

Her voice was breaking and my blood boiled in great anger.

" Did Mike hurt you ? " I ask her silently and i heard her sniffed.

" No, he didn't. How is han's rescue going ? " She asked me from the other end.

I willed my anger to evaporate and to keep my voice clear.

" Logan is on his way here, han was rescued but he is badly injured too " i told her.

For a long moment she didn't say anything.

" Jill? " I called worriedly.

" Jill , are you there? " I asked.

Her voice came in and this time she was crying.

" Mr Mike warn me to stay away from you " She said and i gripped the cellphone in annoyance.

The sound of her crying calm me down somewhat and i spoke to her softly.

" Where are you? " I asked her.

" I am somewhere around the claw lake mansion " she answered sniffing.
