New In Town

"Hey..." said John as the door opened. "Again I'm sorry it's late, but I didn't know who else to call." he looked at the person. "It's cool...Come on in." the person moved. John walked in with Eve and Shannon...

"Evelyn Morris, this is Antonio Vega..." John introduced them. "Nice to meet you...Please call me Eve..." she smiled as she wrapped John's jacket around her. "Shannon is fine with me, it's Eve I need to keep here." John told him. "That's fine..." said Antonio. "Antonio???" asked a voice. "Jessica, this is John's girlfriend Eve Morris...This is Jessica Buchanan, my fiancee..." he introduced them. "Antonio, she's freezing....Come here..." Jessica took Eve's arm and led her away from the door. "Shannon, go with em, I want to talk to Antonio..." John told her. "Okay..." she walked away. "Let's goout the door." Antonio told him, closing the door.

"What's up, John???" he asked. "The reason I need a little help is because, Eve's step-father found her...Somehow...He deals in drugs, guns, you name it he's in it...His name is Jakob Morris, he controls everything of hers, even the money her mother left for her, Eve took and he wants her to marry a man who is in the same business he is in. The goons found her at Shannon's place...And you like her, nobody else seems to be wanting to know her...Excfor for Marcie..." John smiled. "She's safe here...Jessica seems to like her...Eve is safe here...I'll make sure she doesn't leave alone or is left alone." Antonio opened the door.

"Ready Shannon?" asked John. "Yea...Bye, Eve...See you later..." Shannon hugged her. "Eve, I'll bring clothes for you later..." John sat on the couch next to her. He could tell she was tired. "John, don't leave me." her eyes were groggy he knew. John kissed her forehead. "I'll be back later..." he assured her. "Lay down...Get some sleep." John got up and laid her down. Jessica put a blanket over her and John squatted down. "I'll stay till you fall asleep." he whispered. Eve looked at him, blinking her eyes and finally closing them.

Later that day, it was chilly, no sun in sight on this day...Eve sat up brushing her hair back and looked around. "Hello..." she said. Eve stood up, she still had on John's jacket and saw a little girl on the floor. "Why, hello..." she sat on her knees. "Your so cute...What's your name?" she knew th elittle girl couldn't answer... "That's Jamie...Antonio's daughter..." said Jessica. "Hi...Jessica right??" she asked. "Yea...Antonio told me not leave you alone...I didn't have any plans today." she picked up Jamie. "Has John come by yet?" Eve asked. "Not yet...Why can't you be alone?" Jessica sat on the couch. "I don't want to get you mixed up in this..." Eve sat on the couch. "I kinda figure it's protecting you...I want to help...John's a good guy..." smiled Jessica. "My -fat-father is an evil man...Powerful, controling...He beat me...John saved me..." she told her.

A knock sounded at the door. "I got it...Can you hold Jamie for me?" she asked. "Sure...I'd love too." Eve held her. She made smiling faces at Jamie andm ade her laugh. "Yes...Hi, John." said Jessica. "Hi, ie upe up?" he stepped inside. "Yea, she's holding Jamie." she told him. "Eve...I bring clothes." John smiled. "Hi...Jessica she's adorable..." Eve handed her back. Jessica took he"I t"I tried to be here when you woke up, but I was looking into Jakob's files." he handed her the bag. "I am just glad your here John." she threw her arms around him. "You want to go to dinner later?' he asked. "I'd love to John..." she looked at him. "Great...I'll pick you up at 8pm..." he kissed her. "See you then John." she smiled as he left.

"I don't have a dress to wear..." Eve said. She was dressed in black jeans and a sweatshirt. "No problem...I can call the babysitter..." Jessica picked up her cell and called the babysitter. "All set..." she smiled. "Jess, I don't have the money." Eve started. "It's no worries...I don't mind." Jessica told her.
