Oh.My.Gosh. I had no idea anyone was even really paying attention to this fic, and then I checked back and squeed rather hysterically, lol. You guys are so, SO awsome, I love you all! I hope you'll like this chapter, too, sorry that it's rather delayed but I was having some trouble with it. Thanks again!!
Conditional: Chapter 6
Jackson set Lisa down, steadying her at the elbows while she stood in front of him. Only the sunlight streamed in through the rickety door of the hay-strewn barn, making Lisa more than uneasy. She tried to sharpen her senses as she peered through the darkness, but felt more than anything the hair on her neck stand up at the knowledge of her captor holding her from behind.
“So what’s this, home sweet home?” she asked, glancing around. Her comment made her feel braver than her heart told her she was.
“I wouldn’t call it home material,” he said, “but it serves a purpose every now and then.” Jackson scanned the room distractedly. “Now, sit while I go get my case.” He let go, and she tittered, then plopped down ungracefully on a thin pile of hay. Jackson disappeared behind a tall wrap of straw, and came back with a large, silver suitcase that he carried by its black handle. He set it down, undid the side locks, and opened it, revealing—to Lisa’s horror—a row of rather expensive looking guns.
“What are those for?” she asked, trying her best not to sound as though she cared. But the sickly beating of her heart told that she cared very much.
“For lesson number one,” he replied smartly, grabbing a handgun and twirling it around his pointer finger. Lisa remained silent, but shivered unconsciously as she braced herself. “Up,” he commanded, coming back to her side.
“So you can shoot me?” she snapped.
“Remember dear mother,” he warned. Lisa glared up at him, but surrendered her bent arm just the same. She was no longer shaking, having mentally determined herself to put shameful thoughts of fear away. He had admitted that her death was not on his imminent agenda, and Jackson was, as she had witnessed, very good at keeping his word.
“What do you want me to do?” she asked.
“I want you to come here,” he said, his voice lowering with every word as he fitted her form to his. Jackson’s chin mingled with the top of her auburn hair, and its familiar lilac scent. Lisa couldn’t help but quirk an eyebrow at the closeness.
“Now, I’m going to untie you,” he said bracingly, snaking his arms around her shoulders to get to her hands. “But I swear, if you try anything funny this time, there will be hell to pay.” The knowledge that he had never lied to her stuck with Lisa as his promise resounded in her head.
“Take this,” he said, thrusting a gun into her now free hands, although he covered them tightly with his own.
“You’re giving me a gun?” she asked incredulously. Jackson’s hands nearly made a fist around hers, but she gave no hint about the pain the pressure created. The sleek metal object made imprints in Lisa’s palm.
“Look up,” he said, doing even as he told her, and completely ignoring her last statement. “Do you see that wooden bar?” Lisa nodded slightly, careful to avoid her head brushing too closely with his. “Well, then I’m sure you see the red rings drawn on it. You will be hitting them.”
“You’re teaching me to shoot?” she asked, glancing to the side and glimpsing his nicely clothed shoulder.
“Just a few basic tricks,” he shrugged.
“I thought you were a lousy shot,” she argued, mimicking his past confession.
“Only too lousy to be a hit man,” he corrected. Lisa scoffed quietly; she knew from experience he was much worse than he would admit. “Now, I need you to aim the barrel of the gun at your target. Like so.” Jackson took her gun holding hands and directed them at the red rings. “And shoot.” Lisa did as told, imaging her captor’s pale face and smug grin dangling above her as she pulled the trigger. Afterwards she breathed out, feeling strangely invigorated.
“Not bad…for a first try,” he smirked. She had missed her mark by a few inches.
“I’d like to see you do better, Jack.” His body went momentarily rigid with unrestrained animosity, but it passed like a shiver. Lisa took pleasure in this.
“Again,” he commanded. Lisa lifted her hands up on her own, one eye squinting lower as she lined the gun up with her target. This time the bullet hole was barely outside the ring. Once more she tried, and backed up slightly; Jackson’s knees bent to accommodate her form.
This time, she didn’t miss.
“Better,” he commented, barely nodding at her progress. It was Lisa’s turn to smirk.
“Are we done, then?” she asked. He sighed.
“You’ve passed one test,” he said, prying her hands off the gun and shoving her to the side. Lisa fell into the heap of hay, groaning as her left side took on the impact of the fall.
“Bastard,” she muttered.
“Mmm, ouch,” he replied, eyes slightly narrowed as he shook his head in either mock sympathy or hurt. Jackson held the handgun up the target, shot once, and did better than she had on both her first tries. But, Lisa mused, he probably knew this place, and consequently the target, like the back of his murderous hand. Show off.
Jackson placed the weapon back in its case where it sat alongside other, more dangerous guns. Then he stalked back to his prey, yanked her up by her upper right arm, and held her to his side. Their faces were dangerously close when her glaring eyes locked with his icy yet searching ones.
“You can shoot, I can shoot. That means we can mark weaponry off the to-do list.” His lips were very still, and he spoke quietly, but seriously. “Now, we’re going to get back in my car, drive a little while, and you’re going to be compliant. Right?” Lisa made no move to answer. “Or am I going to have to knock some sense into you?” he asked, scanning her forehead for a bruise.
“No, I’ll be fine, thanks,” she said through gritted teeth.
“Good,” he acknowledged, c*cking his head before leading her along to their next destination.
