Chapter 15

"Harry!" Jason screamed again, the whole block must have heard him. Jason kicked open the bedroom door and found Harry lying on a mattress on the floor, she was bound and gagged. Jason rushed forward. Harry started to cry as soon as she saw him, "It's ok, I got you," Jason pulled off the makeshift gag which was a bandana "hey, we got to stop meeting like this!" Jason kissed her full on the lips with relief.

"Where is he?" Harry whispered.

Jason moved his head back to signal, "out there! Barry.... I got her, you better call the police."

Jason untied Harry and helped her to her feet, "let's get out of here."

"How did you find me?"

"Your friend out there dropped his id badge, I called Barry ... in a nutshell, I'll tell you it all later ... but for now let's talk later, we just need to get out of here."

"Good idea... let's get out of here." Harry repeated.

Harry clung to Jason as they left the bedroom, Kevin was being held against the wall by Barry, he wasn't happy, as soon as he saw Harry his eyes changed, they became focussed as he started screaming like someone possessed. "Harry, we can work this out, I've always loved you, why don't you understand?"

Harry buried her head in Jason's shoulder she didn't even want to look at him. Outside the flat Barry's friends stood like typical door men their arms folded across their chests as they flanked the front door. Kevin was still screaming then they all heard a smack, a fist on face sound, a thud, then silence. Jason could hear Barry on the phone requesting the police to attend.

You'd think by now they would have gathered huge attention and people being nosy would have collected round to see what was going on, but no, the entire estate seemed to just carry on as if any disturbance at the flats was part of everyday life. Jason and Harry walked down the several flights of stairs and waited in Barry's car.

"We'd better wait until the police get here, they are bound to want statements.. you ok?" Jason cupped Harry's face in his hands, "did he hurt you?"

Harry shook her head, "no, I mean it hasn't been the best 24 hours of my life but, ok I think, at least ... I don't know.... I'm just so confused."

"I think we have found the root of your problems, at least we can guarantee it's all over now." Jason took her into his arms and held her tightly, he'd never been so relieved to see someone in his whole life, all this while he had tortured himself about what she was going through and if in fact Kevin had killed her in some sick perverse way.

"God I hope so, I've only known him as a bouncer on and off at work he's never even spoke to me, I had no idea, still no idea what was going on his head."

"Probably best you don't. I'm sure the police will be here any minute then we can go back."

"Back? Where?"

"Home, I had it cleared up and your locks changed."

"But all my clothes are in Derbyshire?"

"Don't worry about that now, I'll get someone to pick everything up." It was time to tell Harry the truth, "we need to talk when we get back, but not here."

"Talk...? Oh God I hate that phrase." Harry tried to pull away from him, but Jason didn't let her go.

"No it's fine I promise," or at least Jason hoped it would be. I mean, it was a good thing wasn't it? He was 'the' Jason Statham how hard could it be to just tell her, maybe she'd be impressed that he was a famous film star. Or maybe not, he hadn't exactly lied the whole time?
