Trapped

Chapter 10

I've got her. We can finally start over. She is with me again and I will never let her go. I have to admit the plan did work out better than I thought it would considering the amount of officers and FBI agents they have been assigned to her case and her house. There must have been at least 15 officers in her house and maybe 3 outside. How can you put so much effort and time into someone as amazing as Lily and not even know where she is at all times? If I had had her sooner, I wouldn't have ever left her side, but now there is work to do, unfortunately.

The muscle relaxant has worn off. I can hear her quiet sobs in the back. She has always been very put together and not even this can pull her completely apart and I like that about her. She will not be broken. I can't blame Jeremy for picking her. She will make a lovely wife.

About 20 minutes later, I pull up to the large brick house and put the vehicle in park. Jeremy immediately runs out when he hears the engine. "Is she here?" He asks excitedly. I nod my head and chuckle. He runs to open the side door to the van. Jeremy is 17 years old, but when he's excited he acts like he's 7. He's almost taller than me at 6' 2" and has sandy blonde hair and green eyes.

When he sees Lily, he gasps at her beauty. It is astonishing. She has been through so much and she still looks beautiful. Even with her messy hair and her disheveled clothing and her tear streaked face, she still looks beautiful.

"Uncle, she seems scared and the sun is probably hurting her eyes we should get her inside." He proclaims and I nod my head in agreement. He reaches for her hand and when she hesitates, I catch her gaze. I give her a look of seriousness and she obeys my unspoken order and takes his hand. Good girl.

He pulls her out of the van gently, like a gentleman and leads her into the house. She's so cute, shy and scared. She won't have to be scared for much longer. She is the one. The others were simple mistakes caused by poor planning and lack of information. She is the one we've been looking for. She will be the perfect niece.
