The Assistant of Joe Quinn.

The Phone Call.

Your phone rings and you grown loudly as it is ruining this perfect night. You step outside and it is the officer who arrested Derrick. "Hello?" "Hello is this Y/N?" "Yes this is she." "Hello Miss. This is detective Horne. I have some terrible news. Derrick escaped this morning and we believe you may be in danger. I am so sorry for this." "What do you mean he escaped? How could this happen?!" "Well there was an accident with the bus and he was one of the survivors. Are you in a safe are? We do have officers out searching for him." "Yes I am." "Good. What is your address and so I can come over and do a quick interview. This will help determine  where he could have gone." You breathe deeply and start crying. You tell him the address and he says he is on the way. You sit down on the balcony and start crying. How could this happen. How could he escape. You were finally feeling safe. You hear the door open and out steps Joe "Y/N is everything okay?" "No.. he escaped. There's an officer coming for an interview. I'm so sorry to ruin this evening." "You did not ruin anything. You being here made it the perfect evening. I'm going to go get everything cleaned up. Did he say when he might be here?" "In about an hour." You put your hands between your legs as Joe leaves to clean up the kitchen. You finish your cigarette and step inside to get changed. You changed into your regular pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt. You take off your makeup and fix your hair. You step outside and go to the kitchen to get a drink of water. You feel hands wrap around your waist and you go rigid for a second before Joe says "it's just me love. I didn't mean to scare you." He hurries his head into your shoulder and you lean into him.

*Knock Knock* you hear. Joe steps away and looks through the peephole. He opens the door and in comes Detective Horne. He looks at you with sad eyes and asks for you to sit down. He goes into more detail about the accident. Explaining that the bus driver had a heart attack and when the guard went to help him one of the inmates chocked him. You feel warm tears stain your cheeks. You feel Joes strong hand link into yours. The detective continues with telling you about how the bus crashed and Derrick escaped. "Do you have any idea where he could be?" The detective asks. "Well he could be at the apartment, the lake house, or his moms. He would probably be at the lake house. It isn't far from here." You give him the address and he sends a crew out immediately. He asks a few more questions such as how you are healing, if you're okay, if there is anything they can do, what he may be driving, if he has access to a passport, and a couple of other questions. "Honestly I don't know. He could be anywhere. I'm okay, I'm healing well. Joe has been a huge help in so many ways." You smile at him and he kisses your forehead and squeezes your hand gently. He stay for about an hour then he leaves.

"Thank you for being there." "You are more than welcome darling. I'll always be there for my favorite woman." You smile at him and kiss his cheek then head to your room. You pay on your bed with your face in your pillow and you start crying. You turn on some music so he doesn't here. About 20 minutes goes by and you hear the door open slightly. "Are you okay love?" "Um yeah I'm fine. Just a slight headache. Im sorry I ran out I just wanted some alone time I think." "Alright well do you need anything?" "Can you just sit here with me for a couple of minutes?" You dry your tears and he sits down next to you. You gently rubs your back and snuggles into you. "Is this any better?" "Mhm thank you." You smuggle in closer and look into his deep brown eyes. You take in a shaky breath and force a smile. You places his forehead on yours and closes his eyes. "You are safe with me. I won't let anything happen to you. You are so beautiful and strong." You kiss him lightly and say "thank you. You are so handsome and strong and I won't let anything happen to you. Which is why I have to leave." You kiss him again and get up. You start packing your bags and he says "What? What do you mean?" He gets up and starts walking towards you. "It's not safe Joe. I don't want you to get hurt." "Y/N trust me I won't let anything happen to us.  I'll hire security to stand in front of the door. I'll move us elsewhere but don't leave. Please don't leave me." You stop packing your bags and sit on the bed. "I just don't know what to do. I just want you to be safe. Joe you make me feel things I've never felt. You make me feel loved, cared for, sexy, beautiful. You make me feel as if I matter." "That because you are those things and more. Let me make a phone call love. I'll be right back."

He steps outside and you continue to pack your bags. You have enough time to write him a letter. You lay it in the nightstand and sit on the bed. Soon he comes back into the room after about thirty minutes of being gone. "Security will be here within an hour." "Joe you didn't have to do that." "I know but I can't have you leave either. Unless that is really what you want to do." "It's not.." "Then stay with me. We will be safer together than apart." You nod your head and kiss his chest. You snuggle into him breathing him in. Your eyes begin to feel heavy and soon you are asleep with your head on his chest.
