The Widows Daughter

Part twenty-six

Nashville, Tennessee.
(Chloe's POV)

That's impossible!

I stared at the spot where I thought I saw him.

No. It can't be. He's dead.

I quickly walked to the spot where I saw him and looked around.

I must have imagined it. I have to have imagined it.

"Chloe. Status report." Caps voice rang through my ear.

"Uh...what did you say this guy's bodyguard looks like again?"

"We don't really know. We do t have a picture of him. But we do k ow that he is dangerous."

"I have eyes on Ton. He's by the bar." Mom said.

"Then that means that his bodyguard won't be very far." I hummed.

I walked closer to the bar and saw mom sitting across from who I can only guess was Zack Ton. I ran into a lady who was wearing a silver floor length dress and she grabbed my arm.

"You aren't supposed to be in here." She said.

Oh great.

"Yes I am. Now I would appreciate it if you would let go of my arm." I said as sweetly as possible.

"No you aren't. I remember everyone who signed in, and you are not one of them." She said sternly.

Not now.

"Yes I am. Now let go of me." I said tugging my arm away from her because people where starting to look.

"Chloe, what's going on. The suspect is meeting with someone. If he thinks that something's wrong he's gonna split." Mom said to me.

"No, you are not." The lady said.

"Chloe, what's going on?" Cap asked.

"I am too, supposed to be here, now if you don't mind I would like it if you would let go of my arm, because I would like to go to the restroom." I said walking away from the lady.

"Chloe. Shut it down now." Mom told me.

How?!

"Ah Ah Ah. I don't think so young lady. You're going to have to come with me I'm afraid." The lady said pulling me back to her.

I don't have time for this lady.

"Chloe, figure something out before we lose Zack." Cap told me in a commanding tone.

"You want me to do something? Fine I'll do something." I said to both mom and Cap.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Ton watching me. I looked the lady in the eyes, and collapsed to the floor.

I could hear collective gasps and hurried steps to me. I felt someone pick up my head and brush a stray piece of hair out of my face.

"Chloe?" Someone asked so quietly that I almost didn't hear them.

It was Harley.

"What did you do?" I heard a man ask.

I'm guessing he was asking the lady.

"When I said to do something I meant  something to not draw more attention to yourself." Cap said through the coms.

"Is she okay?" I heard random lady ask.

"Is she dead?" A boy asked.

"Chloe. Ton is leaving. His bodyguard just grabbed him." Mom said in my ear.

I opened my eyes and looked Harley in the eyes. "Now." I told him then jumped up and ran after mom as she ran after Zack Ton.

I could hear people talking and gasping and commotion behind me as I ran.

I saw mom pull out her gun and that was when people started yelling and screaming and freaking out.

I hated it when the freaked out. It was always so loud. And bothersome.

I chased after mom and by now we were outside. I watched as she shot Ton in the leg and he fell down but his bodyguard kept running. Not even looking back.

Some bodyguard.

"Mom?"

"Keep going. The bodyguard didn't stop. There has to be a reason why. Go!" She yelled as I ran past her and I sped off following the bodyguard through the crowd that was now parting for us.

I pulled the guys shadow out from under him making me trip and I walked up to him. I grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him off the ground so I could look at his face. When I did I gasped, letting go of the grip on his shirt.

No! No! This can't be happening!

I looked at the man sitting on the ground in front of me with blood dripping from his mouth.

A face that I hadn't seen in years. One that I thought I would never see again.

I felt a tear slip down my face.

I uttered a word. Just one word. And as soon as I said it, my whole life broke apart. My whole life shattered into a million pieces. It was all a lie.

"Jamie?"

Happy Sunday!! Guess what? I'm going to Minnesota this week! I'm going with my grandparents!

Anyways, tell me what you thought of the chapter. Did you like it? Let me know.

Until next time, bye!
