On The Run

Chapter 15

Waiting seemed like it was hours for Ana, but she stayed in the bathroom just a little while longer, staring at the white floor tile wonder if it was porcelain or marble. The tile was a plane hexagons and white like everything else in the room. Too white. Too sterile for her. It was driving her crazy. She had to get out of there. It didn't matter if Jack was still there or not, but suspected he'd long gone because he couldn't have his way with her.

"Jack wouldn't stop either." Ana crossed to the door, reach for the handle, and turned, pulling it open. No Jack. Good! Ana walked out into the room and over to the door. Maybe Jack left it unlocked and she could just walk right out to there, but as soon as she turned the knob, she knew she wasn't lucky. It was locked. Damn.

Flipping around, Ana leaned against the door, tears ran down her face as frustration set it. When was Christian going to find her? She didn't know how much longer she could be caged there. It was okay being with Christian because he was someone she cared about, enjoyed being with him, and knew at all cost he'd be there to protect her. That was solid for her.

"Christian..." Ana slid to the floor. "Where are you?"

Sleep claimed her soon after and Ana was woke when the door was forced open and she jumped to her feet and away. How long had she been out?

A man no taller than Christian and similar weight walked into the room dressed in a back suit. He wasn't too bad if wasn't a bad guy. He was good looking. Could have been a model or actor. Blonde hair, blue eyes, high cheek bones, muscle - the whole package.

"Mr. Hyde wants to see you in the pink gown and down stairs in a half am hour."

"What time is it?" Ana looked back at the windows; the sun was gone. It was dark. It was raining too. Ana could hear the rain pelts hitting the window as it made a splat sound each time it hit. Even more depressing.

The man raised his arm and glanced the expensive watch on his wrist. "After six, ma'am." His arm fell to his side. "Get ready. Mr. Hyde likes his promptness."

"What if I don't want to?"

"Then I guess I dress you myself and drag you down myself."

Neither option pleased Ana, but there was one man she wanted to see her naked and he wasn't there yet. If he'd ever show up.

"Leave." Ana demanded. "I'm not undressing in front of the likes of you."

Nodding at Ana, the blonde man exited the room, shutting it behind him and she heard mechanics of the lock turn one way and then another, indicating she was trapped once again. With a sigh, she went back into the bathroom, and shut the door.

****

The men made into the city limits,  it with construction all over town and rush hour, it made it impossible to reach their destination on time. It was irritating Christian to no end. He had to make sure his girl was okay. Ana, I'm coming but there just seems to be so many fucking road blocks in the way, but I'm not letting deter me. Please hold on. That asshole better not touch you or I'll kill him.

"Hey!" Taylor said, breaking Christian depressive thoughts. "We will get her. We have the element of surprise. They don't know we are coming." Taylor looked back at the road again as he was able to move an inch or so on the congestion of traffic. How much longer would they be stuck? "He won't hurt her. He likes her. He won't gone that far, he's not that kind of man."
