Hey dudes, sorry for the long wait, theres been a lot of stuff going on lately, but here I am! Lol so yeah, I hope you guys like it.
Chapter 5:
"I wouldn't be so sure about that…" Kate looked out the window and went pale.
"Quick come on." Jack grabbed her hand and pulled her into the next room. "This house
was built during the Underground Railroad you can hide here." Quickly he pulled books
off the shelf and lifted up the back of the shelf so she could crawl in behind the wall. Kate
crawled in as Jack told her he'd get her when it was safe. Jack put the books back on the
shelf, and then hurriedly pushed the button to opened the gate. A few moments later he
was opening the door for the cop.
"Sorry, I was all the way upstairs in my study." He lied.
"It's perfectly alright sir. I'm sorry for the intrusion, but we have reason to believe
that you may be hiding Kate Kinly here."
"I'm sorry officer, I have been alone all evening, but feel free to come in and look
around."
"Thank you Dr. Shepard." The officer said as Jack let him in the house.
Wordlessly the officer walked through the house. "Wasn't this build during the late
1800's? The time of the underground railroad?" He asked.
"Ah, yes sir, we have two spots in the house, if you'd like to search them I can
show you."
"That would be good thank you." Jack smiled, but inwardly he was full of worry.
"Here is the first." Jack said leading him into the study and lifting up the rug, and
then he lifted up the floorboards. The officer looked down, finding nothing. He helped
Jack close it up, then jack led him to a small linen closer and pushed on the wall, which
fell backwards, opening a small room. After looking around the rest of the house the
officer left, sure that Kate wasn't there. Breathing out a sigh of relief Jack watched the
cop leave then went to get Kate from behind the bookshelf.
Jack sat on the couch with his feet on the coffee table as he read the newspaper.
He was waiting anxiously for Kate, who had disappeared to the shower for the time
being. Eventually she emerged, clean for the first time in months, which she was very
thankful for.
"What you doing?" She asked sitting down beside him as she dried her black curls
with a towel. Jack looked up at her and placed the newspaper on the paper on the coffee
table.
"Oh, not to much, but we do need to talk."
"Okay…" Kate replied somewhat fearing that he was going to ask her to leave,
even though she knew she couldn't stay.
"Kate, I want to help you, anyway I can. But I am very confused about everything
that's going on, so I need you to tell me everything."
"Okay…well you already know how I got put on the job, and met Chris. There is
something you don't know. I lied about the guy on the island, the one with the thing (I
don't know how to spell that!) in his stomach, I said he was sitting next to me, and I'm
sure from the mug shot you figured that I knew a little about him, but I know a lot more
then you'd think. His name was Phillip Morrison, he was the agent secretly working of
the mob, the one who made it look like I was working for them. He had a badge, which
enabled him to take me back cuffed, even though he was bringing me back to Chris. If
the plane hadn't crashed I most likely wouldn't be alive right now. This is what
happened…"
Flashback:
Kate jumped as Chris, Phillip and Mason came into the room. She hadn't been
expecting any of them, except Phillip, they were going to go over some of their plans.
"Hey, Chris sweetie what you doing here? I thought you had some business to
do."
"Finished early, thought we'd come back here. We've got some things to discuss,
so why don't you head upstairs."
"Ah, the secrets continue, its not like I couldn't deal with it."
"Yeah we saw." Mason retorted. Kate rose an eyebrow at him.
"What cha' mean Mai?" She asked suspiciously.
"You think Chris here would actually let you live here before doing a full
background check. We know all about you and your many close calls."
"Chris I'm hurt."
"Hey look doll, you know I can't trust everyone I meet, they could be trying to
put be behind bars, we cant have that, now can we. I had to be sure you was alright to
stay here." Kate almost smirked.
"Yea' I understan' I would've done t'e same thing. But don't doubt me again,
'lright? If I do anything, it'll be for yea' not against. Got that?"
"Yes, now go on upstairs, please Anna, we got business to discuss."
"'lright, don't take to long though, I wan' go out tonight."
"What ever you want." Was what Chris answered as she walked up the stairs in
her Anna Baker way. They watched her until they were sure she was upstairs. After they
were sure she was gone, they started their talk, but Kate turned on the wires she had very
cleverly hidden in Chris' house and listened into their conversation. Kate's jaw almost
fell apart at their topic of conversation, it had taken eight months, but she finally had it,
she had the proof needed to bust them. They had just mentioned one of the people they
killed, and who they planned to strike next. But what shocked her even more was when
Phillip nervously changed the subject. He was the other agent put on this job, they had
been working together for months, shouldn't be trying to get more information? Instead
the changed the topic to the FBI.
"Things have been getting difficult lately. More of our workers are getting caught,
I think they've got someone working here."
"Yeah, I've noticed that to. Who do you think it is Phil?" Chris asked as Mason
rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Do another background check on Anna, there's something odd about her."
Phillip told them. Kate's heart stopped, what was he doing? Was he working for them, for
real? Her mind was spinning.
"Let's not bother, lets go talk to her right now." Chris said standing up. Kate
quickly pulled out her cell phone, after dialling a quick number she said.
"Guys, something weird is going on, I may need backup, can you get someone
down here, and quick." With that she closed her cell phone and hid all her other
equipment. She could hear Chris heading up the stairs. Quickly she grabbed a book, and
started to read. The door opened.
"Anna." Chris said.
"Hey, what's up?" She asked calmly.
"Can we talk to you downstairs?"
"Finally got a job for me?" She asked as she followed him to the livening room.
"Nice try." Was all he said. Kate was confused, how could he be so sure she
wasn't who she said she was? Had she missed something? She obviously had, because
the next thing she knew they were pulling out a file on Kate Kinly. Perhaps it was while
she was making the back-up call, or during the few seconds of static, or maybe Phillip
had given them the folder, with a note saying she was listening. She didn't know, but she
hoped that the back up would get here soon.
"Kate Kinly? Undercover FBI agent?" Chris was reading out loud. "So you've
been working for them all this time? It's your fault everyone's been getting caught? I
have to say, sending a pretty woman to brainwash me was a very clever idea, but they
weren't clever enough to remember the part where they'd pay." Kate glared at them, as
Chris pulled a gun from the end table. Her heart and stomach where turning nervously.
"Traitor." She breathed staring Phillip right in the eye.
"Oh, know I am not a traitor, I've been working for Chris long before I joined the
FBI, can you believe they put me on this job? Worked out perfectly."
"Give us the tape Kinly." Mason neared her, gun in his hand. There was nothing
she could to but listen, she had three guns pointed at her, Mason's was right up by her
head now.
"Okay." She said pulling the tape from her back pocket and handing it to him.
Mason tossed it in the burning fire; all her evidence was gone.
"Now, you're going to pay Kinly, you've cost us more than you'll ever know."
Chris tightened the grip on his gun and moved his finger towards the trigger. He lifted it
up towards her, ready to shoot. But as he began to lower his finger bullets came shooting
through the glass. Everyone ducked immediately and three FBI agents came into the
room, guns in their hands. It was Tanner, Gary and Steve. Chris had had enough. Bullets
were shot all over the room,
"Get out of here Kate!" Gary yelled, since she didn't have a gun to defend herself
with, she listened. Dodging the bullets that were being shot at her she made her way out
the window and down the fire escape.
End Flashback.
"And that's when I ran." Kate explained. "I was scared that they would kill me,
and they would have if I had stayed. So I called a cab to take me to the airport, I got on
the plane using one of my fake ID's, and that's where I stayed for months, until Philip
found me and tried to bring me back. I'm not sure how he was able to convince the FBI
that it was I who had been giving the mob information, but he did it. And the next thing I
knew everyone was looking for me." Jack looked at her, trying to make sense of
everything she was saying.
"Okay so you were doing undercover work with Phil, Phil turned his back on you,
ratted you out. Managed to convince the FBI that you were the one sending information
to the mob, so now they want you in jail and the mob wants to kill you, and Phil would
just be innocent if he was still alive?" Jack asked to clarify. Kate nodded,
"That's fairly accurate." She told him.
"So what are we going to do?" He asked.
"I don't know, it seems impossible to come up with a working solution. If you
leave immediately after I disappear, they will suspect you, even more so because they
were already suspecting that you had me hidden."
"So there's nothing I can do?"
"Well, there is one thing, but…it would be really difficult, risky, and hurt
everyone who cares even a little bit about you."
"What is it?" He asked. Kate looked down to the ground, taking in a sigh.
"Promise you wont hate me for even suggesting this?" Jack nodded. "Okay we
could fake your death…"
"How will that help us?" He asked. Kate wrinkled her nose, and started to
explain, a long detailed way of escaping.
