Hockey Rules (Bucky Barnes AU x NHL)

A Phone Call Away *

TW: kidnapping, suggested rape

*~* Bucky *~*

"Doll?" I said, unsure if it was actually happening.

"Bucky." I heard the sweetest voice on the other end.

"Emma! Are you ok? Where are you doll?"

"Bucky, Alex has me. I don't know where I am.  But he doesn't know I have the phone so if I go quiet just listen ok."

I waved the cops over and I put her on speaker.  "Ok, Emma.  Just look around.  What do you see?"

"I think I'm in a basement.  He has me tied to the bed.  Bucky, I'm sorry, he made me say things."  I could hear her cry.

"Its OK doll.  Its fine."  I tried to keep her calm.  Then I remembered, the tracking app we made her put on the phone when all of this started.  "Emma, I'm going to stop talking for a moment.  I have you on speaker.  Everyone is here so you can keep talking, ok?"

"Ok.  I'm scared.  I don't want him to find my necklace."

Steve looked at me.  "Necklace?"

"Yeah, the one I gave her," I muttered.  I pulled the app up on my phone and began tracking her.  I showed the police.  "I found her.  Here."  I gave the address but notice my phone was going to die. "Emma, my phone is dying love but we found you ok.  We're coming to get you."

"Bucky, please don't leave me.  I love –" as the phone went dead.

"Steve, call her," I said.  The officer, Officer Lang, said, "that's a bad idea.  Her ringer could be on and alert the guy that she has it.  We need it to keep tracking her.  Let's go."

Lang took me with him in his car to catch up with the other officers who were on the way to wherever Alex had Emma.  I just prayed we made it on time.

*~*Alex *~*

I finally did it.  I had my Emma with me.  I was such a fool to throw her away when I got traded.  I should have retired just to stay with her.  But it's ok.  I'll make it up to her.  Now we would be together forever.  I got her some food and decided to package it up so I could move to the next location.  I would keep us moving until they forgot all about her.  She would need me just like I needed her.

I walked back into the room and saw her crying.  "Oh Emmalina, there is no need to cry.  I'm here," I cooed, wiping her tears.  I unshackled her wrist.  "C'mon on baby.  Time to go."

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"Next stop baby.  We got to keep moving.  I have a house for us to stay at for a while.  It's like we always talked about.  Lots of space for our family and a big back yard."

She resisted but I pulled her along.  I got her in the car and strapped her in. "Please Emmalina.  Just stay still.  I have some snacks for you."

I walked back over to the house we were at and cleaned up. No trace of where we were going.  I jumped back into the car and took off, heading north.  Canada was my destination.  Thank god for Brock.  He put the house in his name so it couldn't be traced back to me.  Such a good friend.

Emma was calm when I got back to the car.  Finally, she was accepting of my love, our future.  "I love you, Emma.  So much.  Tell me how much you love me."  She didn't say anything.  I grabbed for the gun in the glove compartment.  I pointed it at her.  "Don't make me hurt you, Emma.  Tell me."

"I love you, Alex," she said it with a wavering voice.

"That's a good girl.  I'm going to hold on to this," as I waived the gun, "and you are going to sit there and be my good little Emma, ok?  Otherwise, maybe I won't hurt you but I'll hurt someone else."  Her eyes got big, and she nodded.

I started to head north.  After about an hour, I saw her started to shift.  "What is it, Emma?"

"I need to use the bathroom," she said in a small voice.

"Oh Emmalina.  I'm sorry I should have thought of that.  Let me pull over."  I found a service station that was still open.  "Now Emma, I'm going to let you go in.  Say anything to anyone besides getting the key and I will find Wanda."  My threat was good since I had someone watching Wanda back at the hotel.

"Yes Alex," she said, trying to contain her tears.  I kissed her head and watch her go inside the store.  My plan came together and now I was going to be a happy man.

*~* Emma *~*

I stepped into the restroom and pulled my phone from my pocket.  I called Steve, knowing he would be with Bucky.

"Steve?"

"Emma? We just got to the house."

"We're not there Steve.  We drove, about an hour north.  I'm at a service station in the bathroom.  Steve, he said he's taking me to a house so we can be happy."

"Emma, try and stay calm.  We're going to track your phone again. Just keep it on." 

"Stevie, please tell Bucky..."

"No Em.  We are going to get you.  The police already have everyone looking for you. How much time do you have?"

"I need to get back.  I'm going to put you in my pocket but leave the line on, ok?"

"Ok Emma. Just stay calm and don't do anything stupid."

I slid the phone back in my pocket, pulled down my shirt to hide it and went back to the car.  Alex smiled as he saw me come back. I swallowed, trying not to throw up. I got back in the car and we continued to drive.  It was late, almost 3 am when he decided to pull over at a motel.

"We're just stopping to rest and then we will keep going.  We need to get to Canada by tomorrow morning."  He got a room and then took me out of the car and into a room.

Alex turned to me with lust filled eyes, his pupils so dilated I could only see black. "We are going to be so happy together EmmaLina.  We are going to start our family. Tonight."
