Exposed: An Anthony Reeves Story

Airport

After a long flight, it landed and you were finally able to get off the plane. You and Anthony walked hand in hand to the luggage return, once you were there you dropped Anthony's hand and walked to where you saw your bag on the luggage return. While you get yourself together Anthony stands waiting for his bag, but he can't find it.

Anthony began to panic until he saw an airport employee, he ran up to them and asked what might have happened. The worker explained that sometimes the luggage gets mixed up and it may have been put on a different conveyor belt. He checks all the other ones and finds his luggage on the opposite side of the return.

Anthony thanks the worker and grabs your hand leading you into the busy airport. Whilst walking he stops and says he's a bit thirsty and needs a drink, you walk into one of the airport kiosks but seen an insanely long line. You get bored standing there and tell Anthony you're going to go look around. You give him a quick kiss and tell him to call you once he's done.

You decide to stop into a few stores and grab some gifts for your friends and family, you're checking off your list of friends out loud to yourself when suddenly your thoughts are interrupted

"Avani, Noen, Griff-"

Suddenly someone's hands are around your waist, you take a deep breath and turn around expecting to see a tall, dark haired, greenish-blue eyed, cutie named Anthony.

You turn and see a boy of similar height that you'd never seen before in your life. He takes the gifts from your hands and throws them back into the buckets they came from. He pulls you out of the shop and into the crowded halls of the airport. You have no clue what's going on but your terrified. You try to scream, but your voice is gone, you try to run but your legs are numb, you try to pull away, but you have no strength.

Meanwhile, Anthony finishes at the kiosk and calls you. Your phone buzzes in your pocket alerting the boy who was dragging you through the airport. He stops walking and pulls you into one of the family bathrooms. You scream, loudly as your fear takes over, he slaps you and you instantly shut up. He covers your mouth with a rag. Once you're passed out he lays you down on the floor and destroys your phone.

Anthony runs throughout the airport unable to find you. It was unlikely that you wouldn't answer your phone he knows you better than that. He needed to find you, he knew something was wrong.
Anthony finds another airport worker and reposted you to be missing, the worker says you probably just turned my phone off. Anthony knows something is wrong you wouldn't just turn your phone off.

Anthony finds a security guard, and explains he believes something has happened to you. The guard understands and says they should check the security tapes, he pulls out his iPad and begins scrolling through them until the camera shows you and Anthony together at the kiosk.

The guard watches the tapes and sees you enter a second store, that's when you're seen being dragged out by the boy. Anthony watches intently as you're seen being thrown into the bathroom. The guard begins running towards the bathroom where you were last seen. Anthony is close behind him.

The guard opens the door to find you laid on the floor passed out and the man in the corner trying to develop a plan to get out out of the airport. Anthony lunges at the man and knocks him to the ground.

The guard rushes over and pulls Anthony off him. He detained the man and let another guard take him away. Anthony then ran over to you and crouched on the floor to make sure you had a pulse. Once he found your pulse he let out a huge sigh of relief. The paramedics rushed in to check your other vitals and they found that you'd been dosed with chloroform and that it would be wearing off shortly.

Once you're awake, you cry into Anthony's shoulder knowing he had saved your life and without him you would be dead. He hugged you tighter and tighter and swayed back and forth with you.

You were so shaken up but you grabbed your luggage and left the airport hand in hand with Anthony, you promised to never leave his side again and he promised he would never let anything bad happen to you.
