Chapter Eleven
Jude parked his car in front of a motel and took some time to think. Cecilia woke up from the sleep she fell into just in time.
"Are we here?" she asked
"Yes. We will stay here for a while" Jude replied
They got out of the car and moved to the front of the building. Jude gave an alias as information at the front desk. They walked to their room and went in.
"Is this the safe house? It looks way too obvious to me" Cecilia spoke
"What did you expect?" Jude responded smiling
"Actually, I have something to tell you. I believe we are being set up. Someone in the organization is helping the man who tried to harm you." He explained further
"This place is a temporary place to lay low" He reassured her.
"So what do we do now? You seem to trust no one." She said in a discerning tone
"I have to pretend I am obeying their every command in order to still gain their confidence." Jude explained.
"So what do I have to do to help?" Cecilia asked
"You have to remain calm and trust me. There is one other thing I want to tell you…" He began to narrate
"They have my wife and unborn child. That is how they got me to come back to the organization. I was to meet Michael tonight for some information and help on the sideline" Jude explained
"Do you mean the same people who killed Michael sent you to meet with him?" Cecilia asked a little worried
"I believe there is something fishy going on here. Someone or some people in the organization wanted him dead. What I don't get is why they are coming after you." He said in an afterthought.
"I still don't understand why I am a target. Whatever Michael did to have caused this problem is beyond my imagination." Cecilia reiterated her point.
"I still have to ensure that my wife is safe until I find a way to get her back. These people I am working with are very High profile people. They will do anything in their power to get what they want. We have to be careful." He explained
"I will do whatever it takes to help get your family back. I owe you that after saving my life. You didn't have to, but you did." Cecilia finally spoke
"I trust you will. Try to get some sleep. You had a long night. I will keep watch" Jude suggested to her.
"Thank you very much for everything" said Cecilia. She went to the only bed in the room and slumped into it. She dozed off within a couple of minutes.
Jude sat on the sofa in the room, removed the pistol that was hidden in his jacket and placed it on the table in front of him then waited.
