Dancing Away in the Night

Chapter12

Demitri had hired more men, and one of those men was named Ben Petrov, who was ruthless. He was hired to find Jessica and some girls and get them back but mainly Jessica. Demitri was obsessed with Jessica, and he couldn’t live without her. Jessica was becoming more and more paranoid because she kept thinking she was finding someone following her. She could not prove it and she had no evidence, so she didn’t want to alert Joseph or his team just yet but she was so scared because what if they get her before she gets proof like last time. One day Ben does show up across the street from the College that Jessica is taking her GED course at. She didn’t know who he was but she got a bad feeling. Then he came up to her and said, “My name is Ben. I work for a friend of ours. He sent me to let you know that he is waiting for you. He is not a patient man and will not wait to much longer before taking drastic measures to get yall back. He doesn’t want everyone; just a few that made the money, like Lauren, Crystal, Nadia, and David. He said that he would start all over to get more money and bring in more girls from Russia so that he knows he won't be caught by the United States.” Ben then left and Jessica started crying. She cried so hard and so long that her phone started ringing, and it was Joseph. She answered, and he asked where she was. She told him what happened, and he said to stay there, and he would be there in five minutes. True to his word, he was. She got in his car, and she hugged him like he was air. She didn’t want to let go, but she knew he needed to breathe, and they needed to leave the college. He told her they would put a detail on each girl so that each one is covered when they go out, and that made her feel better. She didn’t know what else to do but wait for him to take her again.
