"Hey Emmi, my pretty angel. Is your one and only sweetheart, Jason. I'm dying, I'm so weak and loosing breath. Not because of what these holes are doing to me, but because I can't stand not seeing your beautiful face, your amazing eyes and hearing that your adoring voice. I just miss you so much Emmi, I'm not sure how long I can endure this anymore, I swear I can't last another day without you. I hope you're safe and not in another's arms.
I promise to come back to you, "
I kept replaying the tape over and over again. The tape was the only thing I saw when I opened the box that was dropped by God knows who at me door.

"Gosh... I missed him so much," I whispered under my breath as tears rolled down my cheeks each time I played the tape. He sounded so...so...so romantic and deep, although I've always known Jason to be shallow.

"Awwn... How sweet and romantic, isn't it? And here's what is going to happen sweet Emmi... " the voice said sarcastically.

"... because I'm pretty sure you miss him too. So here's the instruction to follow and must be followed strictly, any fuck up must be treated, trust me... " this was the part that always ruined the whole thing. I was damn sure It couldn't be anybody other than JJ.
He made a statement of ransom of $5.2b and the police must not be involved, else it will mean the death of Jason and following would be mine and my friends.

"You know where to find me, and your sweetheart over here, " he concluded. I heard Jason's voice at the background trying to warn me about something, but I couldn't hear him clearly. The next thing I heard were moans of pain and shouts.
I was damn sure they were torturing him, and only God knows how long he had had to endure that till now.

"Damn! Damn!! Damn you asholes!!!" I screamed, throwing the tape as hard as I could on the floor making it to break into countless pieces.

"What to do... What to do... What to do... Shut," I was murmuring and walking to and fro in circles.
I was clearly out of options.
And I definitely do not have that kind of money, and who in the world do I know that was going to lend me that amount even if I asked.
Tyler for sure was out of my options, even if he wanted to help, and that's a big "IF", his mom would kill both him and I, it would be over her dead body.

"Lucy...Lucy... Lucy," I thought of her too, but clearly there was nothing in this world that would make her to help me neither Jason.
I was pretty sure she would say I was using her to save my boyfriend and later rob it in her face.
I also gave a thought about Emma, but one thing that was obvious was that, she came from a broken home. But even if she wasn't, she wouldn't even give a damn about anything concerning Jason and I.
