Owned By a Greek god
Chapter 33

**** JASON P. O. V ****

"Okay, but why should everything depend on this one lead?" As Ryan drove, I asked.

"One of your maids told you that, and she said that he is the only one she can think of. We got to Tony, but he wasn't there. That means the person who took him is on the move." He said.

"I know, but are we sure that this person did it? I mean, I don't know him at all." I said something, and Nina let out a loud sigh.

"Jason, look at this. We've talked to all of your maids and bodyguards, and none of them know what happened. If they did, they wouldn't be hiding where you could replace them. So think outside the box. They said you just killed Sara, which means some of her family members are after you." Nina rapped, and I groaned because I was tired.

"Jason, we should just wait until Harrison tells us what he thinks." Ryan said this, and I nodded and let out a loud breath.

Ryan's phone started to ring while he was driving, so I helped him get to it.

#What have you got?

#Why don't you give the phone back to its owner?

# Can you stop acting like a d**k and tell us what you got? It is on the speaker

#We're putting things on hold. They did nothing.

# Send the address.

I hung up the phone and looked at Ryan, full of hope.

"Promise that you'll let me take care of this." I shook my head when he said that.

"I can't make that promise. Not when she's there." I said.

"Hey, Jason, you got Gracie into this mess. If you try to help, it will only get worse." He said.

"No, I'm just trying to fix things." I said.

"Can't you figure out what he's trying to say? You are to blame for everything that is going on with Gracie. Why don't you just stop? If you can't pay attention to anyone else, pay attention to your brother." She said, "Look out the window," and I did.

"Fine. I'll stay in the car, but if someone needs to be killed, I'm here." I said and he nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it perfectly." I looked at him as he spoke.

"Thank you, bro." I told him, and he nodded and smiled.

"Enough with the fights between brothers! Are we getting close?" Nina asked, so we went to the Location to replace out. We were just about to catch up to them.

"We're not far away, but I don't know why they're not moving. I mean, they should have known I'd go after them." I said.

"It could be what they want. They might want you to go after them." Ryan said.

"Okay that doesn't make sense. What would be the point?" Nina asked.

"Everyone saw Jason kill Sara, right? He was not there at the time. Maybe his own way of getting back at you is to make you watch as he..." He Said.

"Then I have to say he's stupid to think I'd let him do that," she said. I said angrily.

"Or maybe her body and phone were dumped there with her." Ryan and I were both angry at what Nina said.

"What? That's another choice." She said and we looked away.

"Even if you want Gracie, never say she's dead." Ryan said, and I made a face.

"What do you mean Ryan?" He told me no when I asked.

"That won't happen yet. We need to save Gracie right now." I looked at Nina when he said that.

"I swear on my mother's head that I will kill you if you touch Melina." I said it with my teeth clenched.

"It won't be a surprise, because you already killed my mother." She spoke.

"I don't care and I don't want to know, but if you want to get stupid revenge on me through Melina, you would regret it. It's better that you face me." I said angrily. "Jason." Ryan called, but I kept looking at Nina.

"Jason," he said again, but this time his voice was louder.

"What?" When I turned around to ask, Melina was right in front of me. She was in the arms of a guy who had a gun to her head.

"Emerson Brothers, please come in. We've been waiting for you to show up." He said that, and I kept looking at Melina's face. She looked scared, and that made me feel bad. "Don't leave the car." Ryan said he was going to open the door, but I stopped him.

"You have no weapons. Ryan, he's not joking. He could pull the trigger at any time now that he knows I'm here." I Said.

"That's not going to happen. We would talk like responsible people." He said he was leaving.

"Argh, this is so irritating and dull." Nina said with a tired sigh. I turned around and stared at her.

She asked, "What?"

"You might be able to help after all." She looked at me like I was crazy when I said that.

**** MELINA P. O. V ****

I shook as he held the gun to my head. I was so scared, but as soon as I saw JASON, I felt safe again.

I didn't know how he would do it, but I was sure he wouldn't let him hurt me.

"Okay, everyone, relax." Ryan said with a smile on his face and his hand up.

"Don't touch me, big brother. I'm looking for Jason Emerson, not you." He said it angrily, and I jumped when he did. He had a loud, scary voice.

"I'm actually here because I'm the older brother. So, could you please put the gun down and let's talk like adults?" He said, "He took the gun from my head and put it on Ryan's."

"Your stupid little brother took away from me the most important person in my life because she wanted to be free." He said, but Ryan stopped him.

"She turned into a murderer because she wanted to be free but did it the wrong way." He Said.

"Don't you dare talk like that about her! She was good! But your brother put an end to her life in a cruel way. So it's better if he comes out and we sort this out than if I kill more people than I planned." He said.

His arms were so tight around my neck that I was about to die. My hands were tied behind my back, so I couldn't do anything to help.

I could see that his hands were shaking, so I knew he was about to pull the gun's trigger. Jason would just sit there and do nothing, right?

"Okay. Fine, I am here." He said this as he got out of the car. He turned the gun away from Ryan and toward Jason.

"I'm sorry about what happened to Sara. Please believe me that I didn't mean it." He said while putting his hands up.

"But she is already dead. So let's skip the part about remembering the past and get to the point. I'll kill her right in front of you, and my men will shoot you if you move." He told me that putting the gun back on my head made me gasp. "I will save you Melina." He said it, and he laughed.

"He can't, no. Don't put your trust in him, because I wouldn't." He said something in my ear.

"In fact, I trust him with everything. He would never let you hurt me. That's what real love is, not the nonsense you're pulling now." I said it, and he moved his hand toward the gun's trigger in anger.

"That was a bad thing to say. It hurts that this has to happen so quickly, but I suppose it's for the best." I closed my eyes when he said it.

"No!! Melina!!" I heard Jason screaming and gunshots. His arms let go of mine, and I started to fall down until I landed in someone's arms. "Melina, Melina. You are okay." Jason told me to rub my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was still alive.

As I looked at him, I smiled and laughed at the same time.

"Jason, I am not dead." I said happily.

"No you are not. That would never happen." He said something, and I put my arms around him and hugged him tight.

I saw that the police had already surrounded the area and taken Sara's boyfriend and his men into custody. I also noticed the blood on his hand. "How did you do it?" I asked disengaging and looking into his eyes.

"Nina isn't a waste of time after all. Before he could shoot you, she shot his hand. So I grabbed you and brought you here." I smiled at what he said. "Thank you." I said and he nodded.

"So, what you just said. Did you mean it? I mean, do you really love me and trust me with your whole life?" I was about to answer, but then I heard Harrison call my name.

"What up, Harrison?" I said "happy," and Jason smiled as he walked away from both of us. As he went back to Ryan, I watched him.

He asked, "How do you feel?"

"Good, wonderful. Jason kept me alive." I said.

"We all did. We worker together." I smiled at what he said.

"I really appreciate it." I said looking at Ryan.

"So," he began.

"I need to go thank the rest of the rescue team." I said and he nodded. I was very happy as I walked over to Ryan.

"Thank you, Ryan, but you shouldn't have done that. After being shot, you needed to rest." I told him, and he grinned.

"I can't sleep because I know my brother's love is out there somewhere in danger. If something happened to you, I knew I would also lose my brother." He said that, and when I looked at Jason, he was looking away. "You were so brave to do that. You going outside to talk to him." I said.

"I had to because I didn't know that my smart little brother was also making plans with Nina and the police. It's weird because he hates it when the police get involved in things like this." He said.

"So I couldn't just stand there and let you kill yourself. I had to take action." Jason said, and at that moment I saw Nina.

"Excuse me." I said I was running to get to Nina.

I said, "Hello." She looked at me.

"Hi." She answered with a smile.

"You don't have to pretend to be okay with me being there. I know you know that your mother died because of me, and I'm so sorry." I said something, but all she did was look at me. "I know I can't just expect you to forget about what I did." I said.

"You should count yourself lucky that you have someone willing to kill and die for you, because if it weren't for that person, I wouldn't have helped." She said walking away and I swallowed hard.
