Chapter Fourteen
Jack's POV
"Ready?" Pitch asks and I nod.
"Ready." I reply then look at the door waiting for Elsa to come, "Miss Winters will be here any second." I say using her formal name so Pitch doesn't suspect me wanting to bring Elsa with us. If he knows we're friends he'll use it against me. My family's killer is still out there too, if he knows I was Jackson Overland he'll kill her since he's killed everyone I've ever cared about including my best friends. Only a few are still alive but they're in hiding just like I normally am.
The plan is, I take Elsa hostage then once we get to our getaway vehicle I'll bring her into the van, pretend to keep her hostage until I can leave the van with her and run off. I'll train Elsa so she can fight, shoot, kill and all the things you need to know when being a criminal.
"When she comes in grab her and we'll go."Pitch reminds me for the hundredth time and I nod then stand up once the door opens and Elsa walks in. I go up to her and take out the knife I got from her yesterday and put it to her neck and she screams.
I walk into the corridor with her and Pitch follows then we go upstairs passing all the guards who are powerless. North definitely told them to stand down but I have a feeling that outside won't be much better. It's the evening though so by the time we're out it'll be dark and I work best at that time.
Pitch walks beside me and Elsa makes herself cry and it's genuinely believable. If I didn't know she was in on the plan I'd think she was actually afraid. Then again if I had any hostage I'd expect them to be afraid, it's sort of normal...
"Jack, make her shut up." Pitch says and I nod then tighten my grip on Elsa making her shut up then once she's stopped her fake crying I loosen my grip on her arm again. I don't want Elsa to get hurt at all, we need eachother if we're going to catch our killer and I promised her I'd let her help me.
We make it to the gate and see the guard is behind bulletproof glass. "Pitch now what?" I ask doubting his 'foolproof' plan. I'm going to get electroshock therapy until I die. Of old age.
The guard, that has been working here for months, smiles and opens the gate and we just walk out. "I have hired mercenaries all over the asylum, we can just stroll out." Pitch smiles walking out of the asylum with me and Elsa. "Now about her..." He trails off looking at Elsa, "kill her." Pitch says and I look at Elsa unsure what to do. If I listen to Pitch and kill her I'll never forgive myself but if I don't kill her Pitch will.
Before I can make the decision a helicopter light shines on us, "Jack Frost, Pitch Black, let the hostage go." The police say into the speaker and I look at Pitch and shake my head.
"She's coming with, the cops won't shoot if we have her. That and the kids are all with their parents in the garden around the the back." I say and Pitch nods oblivious to the fact I'm actually with Elsa then goes to the getaway vehicle and I follow with Elsa and put her in the back next to me while Pitch drives.
"Knock her out, she can't know where we're going." He says and I glance at Elsa then press a pressure point on her neck and she falls asleep on my shoulder. I couldn't hurt her.
"She's out cold." I say moving her off my shoulder and he smiles in the mirror at me.
"Good, we're about an hour away."
