Worst Nightmare

Chapter 28 - Worst Nightmare

ZACHARY DANVERS

"What were you talking about?" Zach mumbled to Paul.

"Nothing much. I like her."

Zach smiled. "That's good."

"Why haven't you told her about Jack?"

Zach froze mid-stride. "Did you...?"

"No." Paul frowned "Don't give me that look, son. I taught you that. It doesn't work on me."

"She doesn't need to know."

"I thought you loved her."

" I do love her. She's got me hooked. Only problem is that she doesn't need to know my past."

"You carry your past on your back Zachary. One day she's gonna ask you about it."

"She's already giving me hell about it." He murmured.

Every single night she'd ask about his scars and Zach knew that one day even sex won't help him deflect the subject.

He laughed, "If she's anything like my Donna, you're in for a trouble."

"Your wife is a sweetheart. The only reason you think she's trouble is because she sees right through you."

"And I love her for that." Paul laughed.

"She'll leave me if I tell her."

"Don't make assumptions. It will eat you up inside and when it finally will be out for her to see, you'll know that it wasn't worth that much of your worry."

"I hope you are right."

Zach removed his tie and stuffed it in his pockets. Shedding his jacket he tossed it into his jeep in the garage and loosened a few buttons of his shirt.

At that moment, Zach didn't feel like a 33 year old business man. He felt like a twenty year old  motorcycle club member.

As much as Paul had tried to shield Zach from it, Zach had wanted him to be proud and had learned a few tricks from the other members.

Paul had asked a few of his people to come by a four wheeler except he himself and his right hand Brody had brought their motorcycles.

Zach smiled as his old memories resurfaced.

"Lead the way." Paul yelled as they both donned their helmets and kick started their bikes.

The purr of the engine was so sweet that Zach all but relaxed on his ride over to his own cabin.

When Zach had been dancing with Kari in his arms, he'd all but forgotten about their worries. It was just him and her and everything just faded into the background.

Until Michael, who had came in as a waiter, told him that Paul wanted to meet.

It was code word for they had spotted Stanley.

Stanley had come just as they had predicted. They knew that he'd crash the wedding.

So they had come up with a plan. Zach knew that Calvin and Kayla were working on something. He trusted Calvin to take care of it.

But what Stan had done to Kari, that made it personal. Zach wanted to wring his throat with his bare hands.

So he'd jumped in on their plan except he'd brought in a little enforcement.

  Their plan was simple. All Kayla had to do was act as if she was unguarded.
They had slipped a little GPS chip in her heart locket.

They didn't know how but Stan had found out Zach's cabin and taken her there.

They rode the bike in dark without using the headlights.

Once they neared, they parked at the side and hiked up to the house.

There were no lights on. But Kay's GPS said that she was in there.

Zach pulled out his gun and got ready to barge in.

A loud crash ricocheted

"Back door."

Paul nodded and they creeped over to the back door.

Sure enough it was open. Another crash resounded from upstairs.

"She must've left it open."

"C'mere, you crazy bitch."

"Oh dear. I'm so scared." Kay mocked.

"He'll pull a gun on her." Paul groaned behind Zach.

"Shut up or I'll shoot you." Came a growl from upstairs.

"Geez. Fine. What crawled up your ass and died?"

"Is she for real?" Paul murmured and followed Zach inside.

Taking the stairs two at a time he landed and saw the door to Kari's room ajar.

From the crack he could see Stan tying Kayla to a chair, his back to the door.

Paul took a shot and hit his back with a Taser. The guy convulsed as 50000 volts of electricity passed through him.

Zach shot him once in the knee cap and a small yelp escaped his slack lips.
"Okay." Kayla stood up from the chair
Her hands had been tied at the back but she stood up and managed to get free.

"I wanna take a shot too."

"No." Zach said. "He's mine."

"C'mon honey." Paul grabbed Kayla by the hand.

When she protested, Zach looked up and locked his eyes with her.

She gasped but let Paul pick her up.

"The duffel's already here. Have fun, son."

Zach nodded and smiled as the door closed.

Just for fun he shot Stan in the foot.

Another groan.

Picking him up, Zach tied Stan to the chair.

Opening the closet he saw the duffel that Paul was talking about and smiled.

"Let's see what we have here."

Resting the bag on the bed, he opened it and pulled out the things he'd need.

He sat down on his haunches on the floor and waited for Stan to come back to his full consciousness.

Few minutes later when he groaned, Zach gave him a predatory smile.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty."

"Let me go and I'll spare you once I'm free" Stan struggled in his bonds and froze and let out a shout as the pain registered.

"You ain't going anywhere."

"Who the fuck are you?"he shouted

  "I" Zach locked eyes with him "am your worst nightmare."

When Stan's eyes widened a delightful shiver ran down Zach's spine.

"Let's begin, shall we?"
