Chapter 21

Karen's pov

I wake up with a sharp pain going through my whole body. It's as if I were hit everywhere. I slowly open my eyes. The room is dark with only one candle lit in the corner. I try to stand but I end up almost falling forward. My feet and hands are both tied to a chair. The chair and I seem to be the only things in the room. There is a rag placed around my mouth that doesn't let me speak. Where am I? How did I get here? I don't remember getting here? Where's Jeffrey? How's... Jaycie? I hope she's okay. How long have I been out to not know anything? Does Jaycie suspect anything. My poor daughter must be worried sick. I can already see My husband freaking out about where we are. Is Jeffrey here? I can't think, I have a massive headache.

Suddenly the door burst open and a man maybe around 35 stands at the door. He smirks at me and closes the door behind him. I try to speak but the rag prevents me from talking, so my words come out muffled. He laughs at my struggling and releases the rag from my mouth. I feel automatic relief but the pain is now in my jaw. I rub it and look back up at him. His facial expression not changing.

"Where am I?" I ask sternly.

The man chuckles deeply and looks me straight in the eye. "You're in an underground lair."

My eyes open wide and I gulp loudly enough for him to here. "Have I been k..k..kidnapped?" I stutter.

"Well look at you," he laughs," you catch on fast."

My heart beats against my chest and I start to sweat. "Why," I ask with tears brimming in my eyes.

"Because... You have something we need," he says seriously.

"Well what is it!!" I scream.

"Don't yell," he demands harshly and I immediately shut up. He looks at me and smiles," your daughter."

My whole body freezes and I feel my face drain of color as my heart hammers against my chest. He smiles at me and starts for the door.

"Why do you want my daughter!?" I ask before he gets out.

"We have a.... Special job for her," he smirks and walks out of the room.

Oh my god. I need to get out. I have to protect my daughter. I need to find Jeffrey. What if they already have Jaycie? I feel a hand with a cloth go to my mouth. We weren't alone. "Just breath in and out," a voice says but I can't really tell because I fall into a deep sleep.

Jaycie's pov:

"Harryyyy," I whine.

"Yessss," he laughs shaking my hand.

"I'm hungry."

"Okay okay. Where do you want to go?"

"How about we go to the place of our kind of first date," I say smiling.

"Ohhh I remember, but I'm going to take you on a real first date. It will be much better," he says squeezing my hand. We park the car and Harry jumps out from the other side before I get my seatbelt on.

He opens the door for me and smiles." Let's go my lady," Harry smiles intertwining our hands as I jump out next to him. I giggle and lean my head against his shoulder.

Harry orders our food and leads us over to a table in the corner. I start to eat immediately as I am starving. Harry laughs at me and starts to eat his food. I probably finished it in about 5 minutes and so did Harry. We both start laughing at each other. He holds my hand and brings it up to his lips.

"The little lady can eat," he teases kissing my hand," I like it."

I laugh an pull my hand away. "Hey, a girl has to eat."

"Yeah. I can't let my girl go without eating."

I smile and my phone goes off in my back pocket. I look at my screen and its a blocked number. I open the text and my jaw drops and I feel the tears run down my cheeks.

"Hey, you know your boyfriend can't protect you forever. You can't hide. Your father tried and look what happened," it read with a picture of my mom in a chair tied up. My hand flys to my mouth and I cry. Harry slides next to me and starts to cradle me in his arms. He grabs the phone and reads the message. I cry into his chest and grab onto him as if my life depended on it. Which it does. They took my mother and father. What are they going to do to them? I cry harder but feel comforted when Harry wraps his arms around me again and whispers in my ear.

"Don't worry, Jaycie. You're safe with me and I promise, I will get your parents back. No matter what. You will be safe. I won't let them hurt you."

I nod my head and get up to leave. Harry puts his arm around my shoulder and walks me to the car holding me close. "Go back to sleep Jaycie. We will stop in a few hours so you should rest." Harry says frowning. I look over at him and he looks so sad and I feel sorry for him.

"I love you," I whisper.

He looks up at me and smiles," I love you more."

"Yeah right," I tease giving him a kiss on the lips before he drives onto the main road. I'm glad I have Harry. I don't know what I would be doing without him here. I feel safe with him. These people have my parents and are after me and I feel like when Harry says he will keep us all safe, he truly means it. We will get through this. We have too.
