As I walked into my my house, I thought I heard a noise, but couldn't quite place it. So I assumed it was just a squirrel on the roof. Adam texted me as soon as he got to the precinct, "hi babe. Miss you already!" 

"I miss you too babe!" I replied. This kept up throughout the day.

Lunch time came, and I decided to walk to the pizza place on the corner; they had a bomb-ass veggie pizza. On the walk there, I was waiting at the a crosswalk when I swear I saw Frank, sitting in a car across the street. Panic overtook me as I quickly walked across the street. The car was empty when I actually looked in it; my mind was fucking with me.

I ordered my veggie pizza, and waited for it, along with an order of fries. I looked out the window at the car I thought I saw my stalker in, still empty. I was dumb for letting him get into my head. I have doctorate in psychology, I know how people like him operate.

I left with my pizza and headed for my house. I walked passed my neighbors and admired the trees that lined my street. My house felt different when I walked in. The fake sighting of Frank must've really fucked with me. I took a deep breath before I headed into my kitchen to grab a plate. It was chilly out, so I turned on the heat as well.

When I got to my living room again, I dropped my plate, and my food scattered all over the floor. Time stopped. I saw nothing except for the person in front of me.

"Hello Regan.... miss me?" A deep, raspy voice said from my living room. It was Frank.

"What the FUCK are you doing here?!" I was terrified and angry at the same time.

He walked toward me, and pulled a knife from his pocket. I backed up into the wall as he held it to my throat. "Call Adam. NOW!"

I was crying, "no.. Fuck off!" He nearly cut me as he pressed the knife into my face.

"I'll cut you, bitch! call him NOW!" His eyes were wide and his face red.

"No.." He dragged the blade across my face, and I felt the blood flow out.

"CALL HIM!" He was spitting with anger. "Or I will..."

I just cried, and then got angry. "I'm a federal agent! Kidnapping me is a life sentence you prick! Killing me gets you the needle!" I spit in his face.

"DAMMIT! You BITCH!" He grabbed my phone. "Password's still your moms birthday? Stupid SLUT!" He slapped me before he moved the knife to my neck.

"TALK!" He screamed with a whisper.

"Adam.." I chocked back tears. "Can you come to my house...? I need you for something. The fireplace is out of... wood. I don't wanna get it myself..." I sniffed back a tear.

"Yes.. I'll be there. Quite frankly annoyed you can't get it yourself," Adam said. "See you soon.."

Frank took the phone and hung it up, then threw it on my couch. "DID YOU TIP HIM OFF YOU DUMB WHORE?!" He grabbed my neck and held me up against the wall under my steps. He started to punch and slap me, eventually letting me fall to the ground, before slicing my arms with the knife, and bruising my face with his punches.

He pulled my pants down and attempted to assault me with his knife, but I kicked him in the face. He cut my thighs with it as he fell backwards. "BITCH!" He screamed.

"Get off, you dick!" I yelled in pain.

"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET YOU WHORE!" Frank screamed as continued to assault me.

I heard Adam pull up moments later. "Babe! Where are you?" He asked as he started to open the door.

Frank put his large knife to my neck and whispered in my ear, "tell him to come in to the living room.." he dragged me across the floor, to the other side of the room.

"In here honey..." I cried.

"HEY ADAM. HOW ARE YOU BUDDY? OH.. IF YOU COME IN HERE WITH YOUR GUN OUT, I WILL CUT HER!" Frank screamed when he heard the door fully open.

"ADAM LEAVE!" I yelled.

He opened the door and stormed in, gun in its holster. He had his hands up too. "Let her go, Frank." Adam nearly cried when he saw my state. Frank was holding me by my hair, my pants were down and I was beaten and bloodied. "What do you want?" He asked, slightly flustered now.

"I want HER TO SUFFER! Like she made me SUFFER... and that means hurting you!" Frank snarled.

I cried out, and he pulled my hair tighter. "Frank.. don't do this." I pleaded.

"SHUT UP! Or I will kill him!" He dropped the knife and pulled out a gun from his waistband and I shrieked. He kicked me, and pointed the gun at Adam. "You took her from me! You fucker! NOW I WILL TAKE YOU FROM HER!"

"Hey.. Frank. I'm sorry man. I didn't you know you still loved her," Adam remarked as he slowly moved closer to Frank.

"OF COURSE NOT! She doesn't talk about me!" Frank bent down to grab the knife and kept it fixed on me. My face throbbed as the blood continued to fall from my cheek, my eyes tear filled as I looked at Adam.

"And she doesn't love you anymore man. You can do better anyway, someone you appreciates you." He said, inching closer still to Frank. I was slowly inching my way toward the couch, when I caught a glimpse of Hank out the window.

"I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER!" Frank shouted. "YOU DON'T DESERVE HER.." he pointed his gun at Adam's chest.

"Frank, leave him out of this!" I said. He kicked me again, causing Adam to lunge for him, and Frank shot.

"NOOOO!" I cried out, just as another gunshot rang out and Frank fell. Hank and the team burst through my doors. Hank walked over to Frank and looked at his wound. Jay shot him through my window.

I found my busted glasses and crawled over to Adam. "Adam!" I cried. My lips swollen.

"Adam..!" He rolled over and opened his shirt.

"Ohh my God!" My tears turned to sobs as he showed me his Kevlar vest.
