Chapter 359 - 359. Solo

"Hello son" Celeste smiled sweetly at the frowning man standing before her. "How nice of you to come visit your mother."

"Cut the bullshit, where is she?" He spat viciously, walking forward to stand before her with his hands in his coat.

Celeste smiled widened whilst Jason's frown deepened, "so this is what it takes to get you to come to me, made the right call holding Jessie hostage" a few words and Jason was about to lose it, she was goading him, he realized it but he struggled to resist.

"Where is she?" He asked again, for fiercely this time.

Celeste, smiling as she shrugged, "I have no idea."

It was for a second, a second that Jason caught it and finally he had his own chance of a small victory even if it was only for a second. Holding a gun was not something he expected to be doing more so towards his own mother but at the end of the day she brought this own herself. She looked calm now, barely shaken she stared straight into his eyes the smile on her face but a memory. Folding her arms she maintained eye contact, "seriously? A gun? I hope you'd learn better than this, you are not going to shoot your mother for some girl are you?"

Jason scoffed, "it's the way you keep referring to yourself as my mother, the audacity amuses me." 

Celeste stiffened but yet she remained composed, jutting out her chin she continued on "if I'm not your mother then who am I?" 

"I don't give two fucks"

"Mind you language boy!" She commanded and Jason smiled, tilting his head he spoke again.

"Fuck, fuck fuck." 

"How childish." She retorted causing him to only widen his smile.

"I don't care if it is childish, anything that makes you even the slightest bit uncomfortable I am willing to do, I mean I am more than willing to pull this bullet and watch your sick brain decorate the furniture and those oak floors." He stated bluntly, looking her straight in the eyes. 

"Go ahead, it's still not going to change the fact that I have no idea about that girl." She scoffed not feeling as confident as she should have, but Jason could never know that. Noticing him fidgeting, she couldn't predict how this would go, he wouldn't actually shoot her would he?

But that question was answered immediately when a loud sound stopped both her heart and her breathing, she felt the impact of the bullet even though she felt no pain. He didn't actually shot her? She thought as she mentally examined herself for the pain. 

"Why are you looking at me like that? You thought I couldn't do it right? Well mother, I choose Jessie. There is nothing I can't do to find her. And there is nothing you won't do to find her as well, I'll be back. So you better get me my information and best believe next time I won't miss." He spat viciously walking out of the room.

In her anger and shock it took a few moments to realise that her phone was ringing on her desk right behind her, "Where are you?!" She yelled into the phone. "Where is she?"

"What the hell are you asking me that for? What do you mean she escaped? What the hell were you doing?!!" She screamed. "Jason had better not find her before you do, I swear I will kill you with own hands." 

*****************************

"She what? How did you find out?" Paul eyes widened at the words that just left his best friends mouth. Honestly he wasn't expecting it, for someone that knew a bit about the kind of person George was, he already expected that Jessie would naked and chained in a cold dark basement. Ofcourse he couldn't say that to Jason but it was always better to face reality, now after keeping him in suspense forever he finally said this?

He should really give Jessie more credit. 

"I would hire just anyone but I thought I should come here" he continued looking at the other party in the room. "You have authority now don't you? This is useful information, we have to find her first, what do you say?" He asked the grim looking man sitting across from him behind a table. 

For the second time Paul was shocked, but he said nothing because it might actually be such a good idea. "Come on now Jamie, we're burning daylight over here, are you in or not?" Paul asked. 

"Ofcourse I'm in, the only reason I'm even sitting here is because I've been assigned to find about George's auction house." Jamie spoke, leaning forward with his fingers linked on the table. 

"I thought you did already" Paul commented.

"I did but there are about eight girls left unaccounted for, we are speculating that they are where he is keeping Jessie." Jamie replied, "do you know if they escaped as well?" 

Jason shook his head, "I only heard about Jessie."

"Heard? From whom?" Jamie asked and Paul leaned forward finally getting answer to his initial question. 

"I overheard my mother talking after I left her office.."

Paul and Jamie shared a look. "Um... I hate to say this but Jason you mother is very capable to have been talking to somebody else, no offense but she seems like she is involved in a whole lot more kidnappings than Jessie's." Paul stated cautiously. 

Jason frowned, looking between the two men and analysing the unique looks they both gave him he sighed, "I'm sure about this."

"She could have been talking to anyone Jason" Jamie added.

"Well she wasn't, because I heard her say George and I heard her say he should find her before I did, isn't that prove enough?" He almost growled. "Look I'm going to do this with or without either of you, I hope i can do it with both if i have to i don't mind going Solo." He added, more calmly this time, more seriously. 

"So what's it gonna be?"
