Rescued

Chapter 7

Alex

The beginning of dinner was the worst. I got stuck between two of Sinclair's men and they kept putting their hands on my legs, until Brad gave them the meanest look I've ever seen and they stopped. I silently thanked him and kept poking at my food. I wasn't very up to eating right now, Mr. Sinclair had yet to speak a word to me tonight and it was as much of as a relief as it was a worry. I mean I knew he was staring more than any of these guys put together, but him not talking to me started to stress me out a bit.

I didn't want anything to go bad, because someone might get hurt. No one needs to get hurt. I look over at Brad and he taps his watch, I need to be keeping track of time. I need to.leave exactly fifteen minutes before dinner ends so I can excuse myself to.go get.my things ready to go.

Right now it's fifteen till I'm supposed to go. Dinner just keeps dragging on and on. About five minutes till Mr. Sinclair clears his throat "Alexandra, may I speak with you in the hallway for just a moment" he says with a small smile playing on his lips. I return the smile and get up "of coarse" I look at Brad with a worried expression and he shared it.

Sinclair follows me back out into the hallways and smiles at me "that's a very lovely dress" he comments eyeing me again. Ew. I force a smile and nod "isn't it? John bought it for me to wear tonight" I look down at myself and take a deep breath, I just need to console myself for a few more minutes. "Well I've got to say he's got a sense of style, we'll have to go buy you some clothes tomorrow after you've settled in" his smile just gets dirtier and dirtier.

I nod anyway "that would be lovely. I'm sorry sir, but may I be excused? I'd like to go pack my things so that I'm ready when it's time to go" this makes him smile even more "Smart and beautiful, you'll make a wonderful wife darling. Go pack your things quickly, I want to be out of here soon. Excuse me for saying so but your father's getting on my last nerve" I smile at that and laugh before turning and going upstairs to my room.

Sadly there's not time for me to change into anything different. I asked Brad and he said this was my priority right now, to get pack and get the heck out. As I start shoving all my clothes into my small backpack I hear a small, quiet rattling and scraping coming from the vent by my bed. I walk over to it and peer into it cautiously, I nearly screamed when I saw someone pop up. "Louis?" I ask pulling the vent cover off the wall  "What are on doing in my vent?" I ask helping him out.

He doesn't even answer me before he pulls me close and hugs me so tightly I can barely breath. "I missed you so much, I'm so sorry you were here for this long" I pull away from him and there are tears in his eyes, "oh Louis, I've missed you so much" I say wiping away his tears. He pulls me close again and kisses me passionately, I've never missed his kids as much as did right then it's been so long since I've felt his arms safely around me.

"Oh gosh, we've got to go, we don't have much time left. Come on grab your bag." He says I nod and quickly grab my bag off the bed and follow him into the vent. It's being enough at the moment that I can sit up in it, so I sit there and quietly pull the cover back over the vent so that it's secure. Here we go.

Brad

She should be out by now, I walk over to John and give him a stressed look "there's something going on down at the docs. something broke. I'm gonna go check it out" he nods and quickly shoos me out, we'll that was easier than I thought it'd be. I quickly make my way out the back door and see Alex and Louis climbing out of the wall as I do "hurry it up guys, we gotta go" I say rushing over and helping them out.

Harry opens the back door and we all scramble in. "Hit it!" I yell. Liam puts the car in drive and steps on the gas, we're out! I start smiling and relaxing a little bit but Harry sighs "we're not out yet, we've still got to get to the airport and get away safely. We still have chance of being caught so we need to be cautious" I nod and Harry pulls a bag up from the floor, "Alex you need to change, they'll spot you easily on the airport cameras if they find us"

I nod and start to undo the back of the dress but Louis stops me. "Can she have a LITTLE privacy guys?" He asks looking directly at Brad. I laugh as Louis grabs a blanket from the back and him and Niall hold it up around me. Harry hands me some sweat pants and a muscle shirt, I'm guessing these are Louis'. I quickly slip the right dress off and pull on the extremely baggy clothes. This is much better, when I'm done I pull the blanket down on top of me and snuggle into Louis, I've missed this so much.

The last month or so I've been with John I haven't gotten much sleep. I never got used to sleeping alone after sleeping by Louis or one of the boys for so long. So when I fell asleep quickly I was happy, Louis was so warm and I was so glad to be back in his arms. Even though I knew this wasn't going to be easy, I knew Job would never stop looking for us and if he ever found us he'd probably kill Brad and put the rest of us through unimaginable pain.

Next thing I know I'm being woken up by Louis at the airport. We're almost free, we can't give up now. We're so close.
