Alex: I wont allow that to happen.

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 4:58 pm

Alexis: Them coming back here, or Aunt Quelly going out?

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 4:59 pm

Alex: Raquel leaving.... if they come here.... well.... they'll be dealt with.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 4:59 pm

Raquel looks over her shoulder at Alex and Alexis, the word "just" hitting her. She does her best to forget about it
ignore it. the phone. Shawn. that is all that matters.ignore that. it meant nothing...
she forces herself to think

Raquel:"Because he..he's the only person, the only man, to ever connect with me. To ever get to know me for more then what the rest of the world seems too...He showed me how to feel loved. To feel respected. To feel appreciated. He's the only man that I've felt safe opening up to emotionally. That I knew didn't view me as just some vessel for sexual gratification and nothing more. The only man who has ever made feel loved...made me feel beautiful...Made me feel like a woman and...and not a whore."

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:13 pm

Alexis overhears Raquel and quietly glances at Alex.

Alexis: You can't exactly tackle her with her being pregnant and everything.

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:15 pm

Caley is quiet as Raquel explains. Finally....

Caley: ..............You should have lied...

Alex stares at Alexis.

Alex: You should know that I of all people wouldn't jeopardise the health of an unborn child....

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:19 pm

Alexis: Exactly.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:22 pm

Raquel starts yelling frantically into her phone

Raquel:"NO! NO!"

her breathing is labored as she stares at her phone...after a long moment she gets enough composure to think of something...She dials the front desk of the hotel...While it rings she looks at Alex

Raquel:"Please...get Jeeves to bring the car."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:23 pm

Alex stands in front of Raquel.

Alex: You're not going anywhere..... I am.

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:28 pm

Alexis: It's a two hour drive... is the family still at the hospital?

She looks nervously at Alex.

Alexis: And would they be willing to help? We're too far away, exactly where Caley wanted us.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:30 pm

Raquel stares at Alex and stands up

Raquel:"Tell...Jeeves...to get...the...FUCKING CAR!!! Don't you DARE try to stop me from going. I'm not losing Shawn! I'm not staying here while she and that bitch pet of hers has their way with him. I'm going. If you don't get him to take me there then I'll find my OWN way. Please, Alex."

suddenly the thought of two hours hits Raquel like a ton of bricks...she puts the phone to her ear, hoping somebody at the hotel is there

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:33 pm

Alex: The family is just as far away as we are. I can get there faster if I break every speed law known to man.... which I will.

Alex heads towards his car.

......... you're with child Raquel..... would Shawn want you to risk that child.... HIS child?

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:37 pm

Shit, if I go with him, Aunt Quelly will likely bolt!

Alexis: I don't like you going alone.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:39 pm

Raquel:"I...I spent all that time running from him...I...I have to go to him. Please, please. I can't just sit here hopelessly two hours away. At least let me get close to him. At least his child be closer to him so that if...when...he's safe he can be with us both. Please."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:42 pm

Alex: I'm sure as hell not risking you..... stay here and try and keep your Aunt calm.....I love you.

He quickly kisses Alexis and jumps in his car.

I'm sorry Raquel.... you came here for our protection.... that is why Shawn allowed you to come here.... this is the safest place for you. Gabriel and Jeeves will protect you well.... you have my word.

Without another word Alex speeds off.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:45 pm

Raquel:"NO!"

she runs after the car until its so far she can't see it and she falls to the street, winded, sobbing into the pavement

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:38 pm

Alexis is right behind her. She helps Raquel back up and hugs her, hiding the worried tears forming in her own eyes.

Alexis: Come on, it's safer back inside, and we don't want anything happening to the baby.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:50 pm

Raquel follows Alexis back inside, crying the whole time. Sadness and a bit of anger coming through the inflection of her voice
Raquel:"I should be helping him...I should..."
she trails off as she gently rubs her ring finger, then goes back to crying

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:54 pm

Alexis speaks gently.

Alexis: You can help him by relaxing and taking care of his baby. Do you want to go back to your room?

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:59 pm

she shakes her head

Raquel:"No..."

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:00 pm

About two hours later, Alex arrives at the hotel. He runs to room 785 and sees the door is still cracked open. He walks in to see Shawn still unconcious on the floor with an exacto knife laying on his chest. The lillies are spilled next to him. A note lays on his chest that reads, "Next time, Raquel...Love won't save him."...

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:02 pm

Alex checks Shawn's pulse then cracks open his phone and texts Lexi.

Alex: Shawn's OK.... unconscious but OK.... taking him to the hospital to be safe.

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:06 pm

Alexis looks at her phone and breathes a sigh of relief.

Alexis: It's Alex... Shawn's alright. Alex is taking him to the hospital.

She returns the text
should we meet you there?

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:08 pm

Raquel tears up, this time in relief
She grabs her things and goes to find Jeeves without waiting for Alexis to get an answer
