CAPTURED

chapter 10

Bryan POV

"Get off me! Leave me alone!"

The voice penetrated into my restless sleep, waking me up with a start, i glanced at the clock: 2am, I have been waking up every 2hours of the night because of the damn uncomfortable sofa.

"Leave me alone!" I heard the voice again, it was Anne's, I jerked up from the sofa and ran to the bedroom, opening the door.

Anne was obviously having a nightmare, she was rolling and struggling on the bed, sweating profusely.

"Williams, leave me alone!please!" She cried.

Williams? Who the hell is Williams?

I ran towards her "Anne, wake up, its just a dream" but she kept on struggling and I shook her hard "Anne wake up!" Her eyes flipped open and she jerked back when she saw me.

"Please, leave me alone" she said to me, her eyes closing again
"Anne, its me Bryan, open your eyes dear, its just a dream"

"Bryan?" Her eyes, wide opened, she stared at me, she relaxed a bit, I could still see her shoulders were tense.

I stretched out my hand to comfort her but she shuddered and surprisingly moved back, so that I wouldn't touch her.

"I wont hurt you" I whispered

"Are you sure?" Her eyes were full of fear and I wondered what the dream was about.

"I promise Anne, first you have to calm down" the stiffness flew out of her, she came closer and hugged me tight, her breasts pressing against my chest and I felt desire rush to my groin

You shouldn't be thinking of that now, Bryan!

I cuddled her in my arms,stroking her hair gently

"Don't take me there, Bryan, please" she sobbed

Was this about going to her father in Canada?

"Calm down Anne, what was your dream about and who is Williams?"

"He is the one!" She said without hesitation "the one you call john, his real name is Williams, Bryan" she raised teary eyes to look at me and I brushed away the tears with my thumb.

"Continue dear, what did he do?"

"He almost raped me"

"What?!" I pulled her back to stare at her, her eyes still held fear and she was weeping again "you are joking right?" But one look at her face told me she was not.

"I don't understand Anne, explain better"

She pulled back to turn and she was directly facing me now, her tearing eyes staring at me as she explained from where she worked and about a man named Williams and her managers plan-to rape her.

I stared at her wide eyed as she ended the explanation, her story didn't make much sense to me, but if it was really true -God knows- I could kill that man called Williams. With my hands clinched into a fist,I stood up and paced around the room.

She described Williams and the manger and her description fitted exactly to the two men that approached me to bring Anne by all means, they told me that she wouldn't want to come and therefore she would tell me lots of stories to discourage me from bringing her. I guess she was at it now, but something within me tells me that she is telling the truth

But I couldn't stop taking her to Canada because of that, even if it was the truth, for Christ sake, am doing my job and I am not the kind of person that listens to excuses from my victims.

I pulled a frustrating hand roughly into my hair and turned around she was still sobbing softly.

If this is an act, then she is really good at acting

"Do you have any proof that he tried to rape you?" I asked without thinking.

She was obviously surprised at my question, she looked at me dumbly before shaking her head.

"But my friend, Stella, and her boyfriend can testify to it because they were the ones who saved me!" She snapped.

She was getting angry and I could sense it

"Anne, am sorry, I believe you sincerely but I still have to take you there, there is no proof and I wouldn't want anything to spoil this job"

Damn! I shouldn't have added that

"Really?!" She exclaimed and the anger came in full force. "Do you always deprive pleasure in this type of job? Kidnapping?"

A familiar pain stuck my chest and I nodded

"What exactly are you" she continued "a kidnapper, a thug or a rapist too?"

Her last word added another familiar pain to my chest

"You are right Anne, am a kidnapper, thug, gunman, whatever, you name it, but I can never be a rapist Anne, that's one thing I can never do"

It was as if she saw the pain in my eyes because her anger subsided

Standing up from the bed, she came to where I stood staring out of the window, I couldn't help but turn to look at her body, she was putting on my shorts and a white top, i could see her naked breasts and nipples through her top and desire rushed through me , I was dying to touch her,I'm beginning to like her, I really wanted her and the thought of wanting her was driving me crazy, all I wanted now was to be buried deep inside her, forgetting everything that has happened and is still happening to me

Get hold of yourself Bryan!

I shook my head mentally and concentrated on what she was saying.

"Why are you like this Bryan?" She asked looking deep into my eyes, like she could see through me "am sure this is not you , what makes you kidnap people?" She took my hand and squeezed it softly.

My chest was still hurting, and I knew I had to let it go, it has been hunting me for many years now, I think its high time I pulled it off my chest by talking to someone about it and I am surprised at how much I trust Anne

"My kid sister was rapped and kidnapped right in front of me!" I blurted out angrily
