Chapter 21 - CHAPTER TWENTY ONE lost one

BELLA'S P.O.V

It all happened so fast. I went to see Julie, then someone groped me from behind. I found my self in a room, or warehouse- whichever.

Jimmy went back to the place with Jeremy. I clutched onto my kids, and they held me the same way.  I looked at Zara. She was in a terrible state, I ciuidnt help but cry.

Julie, Zara and I had been through so much together. Since we lost our parents, and the orphanage which we stayed caught fire, luckily we escaped. We had no one to take care of us. Then one woman saw us, took us as her own. She trained us, and fed us. Then one day, she died; cancer. It was tragic, we were grateful. We kept pushing on to survive, and we finally got to the point we were.

Shit! Haven't heard from Julie, hope she's okay. I made a short prayer in my heart.

Jeremy came back with jimmy. He drove to his house and we all alighted. "we still haven't gotten who did this. I don't think here is safe". Jimmy finally spoke after the long silence.

"i know. Let's pack up!". Jeremy replied. He got in, called a doctor and packed up stuffs.

"I'll go to the house and pack up. I'll meet you guys at the airport!". Jimmy said. I refuse to let him. I held him.

"no, its not safe!". I told him. He looked at me without saying a word and as if expecting Jeremy to say something, he looked at him.

"we'll go to your house together. Your wife is right, its risky!". Jeremy replied, and I smiled at him.

The doc arrived and checked on Zara. She needed rest, but she'll have to manage the car.

He bandaged our wounds. I stared at my kids that have fallen asleep on my thighs. Who would have thought we would take such drastic turns?

We got to our house. Jimmy asked me to wait in the cat withe the kids while he went to get our stuffs. "don't pack much!". I told him and he nodded.

Few minutes, he came out with some luggage. He forced it into the booth and Jeremy entered the driver's seat and started the car.

JIMMY'S P.O.V

"lets go get Julie! ". Bella said. I froze. True, I forgot to tell them. How will I tell them now that dear Julie is dead. She was stabbed dead. She tapped Jeremy.

"we need to get Julie!". She repeated. "we can't leave her here!". She added as she touched my shoulders. I turned back, pulled Jane to the front so she could stay with me.

Jeremy looked at me.. I feel he knows I know something. I shook my head, and he understood. He drove without saying a word.

"Jimmy! What's going on? Why are you silent?". She asked, stating at me suspiciously.

I turned again, and looked into her eyes. "whats going on?". She asked calmly this time, staring at me with misty eyes.

Goddamn! How would she react to this? I cleared my throat.

"darling!"/ I maintained eye contact, and she listened eagerly. "julie...julie is...she is no more!".

"what do you...". She paused. As if she realisation just strick her she screamed. I held her hands tightly. I could feel the pain...

We had gotten halfway to the airport, when something happened....
