Love, Lies and Medicine(REVAMPING Stay Tuned!!)

Chapter 8:..until he's ready for her...

 

               The room was cold and dark except for the moonlight shining from a window on the ceiling. She sat the same way she had for the past ten hours. Knees pressed to her chest and arms tied tightly around. The tears hadn't stopped flowing down her face from when the men threw her in here. Marilyn had no idea how she managed to be in a limo going to the hospital one second to being in the back of a truck the next. When the explosions went off at the gala, during Lucas' speech, she was pulled to the ground by a security guard. She had urged him to get Lucas too but he was persistent to get her to safety first. She had stopped struggling with the muscular man when Donald assured her that Lucas was one of the first people to leave the Banquet hall.

            She was driving in a limo with Donald asking him what was going on when the limo crashed. It wasn't a huge crash in which to injure her but just one that was significant enough to let her know that something was very wrong.

            Donald told her to stay in the Limo while he went to go check on the driver. He had been gone for almost a full minute when she heard two gunshots. She immediately locked the limo doors and ran to sit in the corner of the limo. She was scared beyond comprehension that she didn't even get anything to defend herself.

            The glass window crashed in and a hand came through the window and unlocked the door. Before she knew it she was being dragged out by a masked man. She was kicking and screaming but nothing she did slowed down the man carrying her. In her struggle she saw the limo driver lying beside the limo with two bullet holes in his chest. Blood was running from his body into the street gutter, no Donald. She was starting to think he was dead too until she was thrown into the back of a truck with him. She ran to him to see if he was ok when he threw her down and tied her hands behind her back. That was all she remembered before he knocked her out.

            She woke up and she's been here ever since. The only time they bothered to talk her out was when they made a video of her with the person who was in charge of this kidnapping. She couldn't see his face at all and as quick as they pulled her out of the room they threw her back in. She had hoped that Lucas would act quickly because she was starting to believe the masked man would really kill her if Lucas didn't do what he was asked.

            How could Donald do this to her? How could Donald do this to Lucas? She didn't really know him too well but by everything Lucas told her she knew he was a good person. She couldn't believe the one assistant Lucas had would betray him like this. She knew about Lucas' life and how it was hard for him to trust anyone. Before her the only people he trusted was Luke and Donald and now he had gone behind his back and partnered up with some criminal to hurt him. She was beginning to understand more and more why Lucas was so unattached when they first met.

            Lucas. . .

 She whispered to herself. She longed to be wrapped up in his strong arms safe from any harm. She wanted Lucas to rescue her and tell her that everything was going to be ok.  She pulled her knees to her chest tighter and curled up against the cold wall. She closed her eyes and tried to relax the best she could until she heard the door rattling. She opened her eyes and swung her head in the direction of the door. She put her legs down and stood up bracing herself for what would happen next. The thick steel door opened and in walked Donald with clothes in his hand. He looked almost as if he was sorry for her, funny considering he's the one who helped bring her here. 

            "I thought you might prefer this over your dress. It's not much but it'll keep you warm until he's ready for you." He said holding the clothes out to her. Marilyn was too scared to even touch it so she stayed still and did not move but his words however did not escape her.
