Chapter 6

The cops showed up pulling everyone in different directions taking what statements they could. Finally, they wanted proof of everything, they started with Jazzy she took them to her building they went to the apartment, but her key would not work so she went to the office to find out from the manager’s, he stated he had never seen her before.

Jazzy throwing a fit and started to yell and cry. Next, she went to the store Joe meant her at the office and what he said she could not believe him, saying that she meant Dan here two years ago got married to him and she no longer had to work.

Jazzy was almost in a state of panic wondering if she said call her family, they would say she was not married to him. When asked for her parents’ number she gave the officer the number and walked away. The officer who took Dan's statement came back and said everything checked out.

Scared for her life Jazzy went to Jeff's side and said none of this was true she was not married; she feared him and what he may do to her. Jeff wrapped his arm around her and hugged her. When the officer who went to call her parents whispered in his partner's ear, they both looked at her. “Madam I am sorry but nothing you have shown us holds. You are married and dealing with lost memories.”

“I am not going with that devil, who took everything from me last night. Please I am begging you do not let him take me, I want to go see my mother I know she would never say this.” Dan coming up behind her to grab her made her scream and grab Jeff. “Please do not do this I do not want you! leave me alone.”

When he almost had her away from Jeff, she hit him in the groin and ran to Jeff. The one officer said, “look maybe let her go see her family see if they can help you. Or have the doctor come to see her. She seems to be worked up and scared. Get her a room at the hotel for a few days”.

“That is not happing she needs to be in the house, so she is safe the only reason why this is going on was because I was really tired last night, she had a bad dream pulled the alarm in her room causing to have an accident. She showered and me missing my wife laid her beside me. She got scared hit me with a lamp and took off out of the house.”

“Jazzy will be coming home with me,” “No I will not! You cannot make me; I will run away every time you come after me.” She was still holding Jeff's hand and Dan had enough of this. “I am taking you home you are getting your meds and laying down and that is the end of this do you understand me jasmine you are done.” He grabbed her picked her up as she was kicking and screaming and took her to the car.

Dan tossed her into the car and told the driver to take them home. “I see you need another lesson about listing to what you're told. Didn’t I make it truly clear you are not to look at another man, mouth off, etc.?” When he grabbed the bullwhip Jazzy knew what was coming when the car stopped by the docs, she opened the other door and ran. She jumped on a ship that she seen was getting ready to leave and hid, she made sure no one would see her, and she fell asleep.

Jeff could not keep her from his mind she was so scared and held on to him tight. Dan had to rip her off him, he did not want to let go of her but had no choice. Jeff would have killed Dan for it something about Jazzy set him off to want to protect her from him. Hitting the table made him spill his rum and knowing the barrel here in the room was empty, he got up to grab another. The men were all sleeping so no one would dare to ask questions. Walking down below deck his thoughts were still of Jazzy.

Not watching what he was doing he tripped over something. Looking harder he came to realize not something a someone. Getting up he walked over to the sleeping person getting ready to put his boot to their stomach when he saw her hair. Dropping down and picking her up as she was fighting back was hard enough. “Stop it you're fine, you’re safe Jazzy.”

When she heard Jeff’s voice she stopped, she wrapped her arms around him and let him carry her. Getting to his room, he put her in the bed, but she would not let him go. I must lock the door, or the others will come in. she let him do it, but she did not move.

He heard her cry and went to her, he sat her up and let her cry till she fell asleep. Every time he would try to move away from her, she would wake up. “Please Jeff, do not go, I am lost, I —I do not know where I can go or who to trust. I just know when you are here, I am safe.”

Jeff looked at her and held her with no question. Falling to sleep together feeling his warmth and his arm around her she had more good dreams than bad. The moment it started Jeff was there to chase the demon away.

Waking up and seeing her face he was happy to see that she was able to sleep. Pulling away from her trying not to wake her he stood up, seeing that she would need new clothes her shirt was ripped into threes.

That is when he saw the whip marks. Going and getting Jay who was more than able to make the marks leave her and without pain, Jay was looking out at the sea when Jeff found him. John was making coffee and breakfast… “hey guys we have a runaway who needs medical attention.”

They all looked at Jeff with the same look. But only Jay spoke “5-foot 3 blonde, blue-eyed woman?” Jeff nodded they all went below, and Jeff woke Jazzy with a gentle touch.
