Chapter 21: Chapter 21

~~Amanda~~

"You must be kidding me", I said to Austin when he hanged up the call.

He just called Drake and when I heard the large amount of money he asked I really got angry.

He gave me that irritating smile of his and I felt like punching him right to his face.

"What do you want to do with those loads of money you just asked and it's fucking much", I said angrily.

Still struggling on my chair, he walked up close to me and stared at me.

"It's none of your business", he said as he used his hands to push my jaw up so I could look at him.

I hated him really bad and I how I wish I could strangle him.

"Just pray your prince charming, comes to your rescue tonight or else", he said using his hand to demonstrate the killing sign.

I shook my head away from his grip and glared at him.

"You will surely regret this Austin", I said assuring him.

I knew Drake was a smart guy also. It seems Austin doesn't know what he is getting himself into.

Still struggling with the ropes tied on my hand.

"Why don't you fucking!! Loose these ropes", I said angrily hoping he would do so.

I was really tired and am pretty sure I will have marks on my wrists.

He chuckled and went out of the room, leaving me to myself only.

God!! What have I gotten into, I thought to myself.

I was really scared, I didn't want Drake to be in any mess or get hurt.

~~Drake~~

Have gotten all my plans ready and I was waiting patiently for the bastard to send the address where we will meet.

I didn't mind if I send big loads of money to rescue Amanda, I will actually do anything to save her, even if it means putting my life at risk.

I was getting out of patience as I started fuming.

I told Annie to go home that everything will be okay, I didn't want to put her in danger.

A message popped on my phone and I quickly took it to check out the content.

It was the address and time I am to get there 11:00PM and giving me a warning not to tell a soul about it.

I smiled to myself and got prepared. I already have the money in a big suitcase. I took my mobile phone and switched it off.

I got into my car and drove off to my friend who happened to be working in the FBI.

We've talked about the matter already when Amanda got missing. So we decided to set a trap for him.

I got down from my car and went over to Jack and his men.

"Hey buddy!", I said.

"Drake, how are you doing?', he asked.

"Not fine until I'm sure that Amanda is safe", I said a little sober.

"C'mon man everything will be okay", he said as he patted on my shoulder.

We walked a little.

"Any information?", he asked looking at me.

"Yeah! The bastard! Just sent me the address", I said as I gave him the paper have written the address on.

" Hope your phone is switched off", he asked.

"Sure!!", I said.

"Good! Then let's wait for the time he appointed you to come", he chuckled.

"Are you sure, this is going to work", I asked nervously.

"Yes Drake, don't worry about it, just do as I say", he said and we entered his office.

****

I was dozing off when Austin came into the room. He was holding a black bag. He brought out a gun and cocked it.

I looked perplexed and stared at him.

He wore a black hoodie and he came over to me. I was tired of talking to him since it was no use.

He went behind me and cut the ropes on my wrist and legs.

I just sat still, wondering what was happening.

He dragged me up and pulled me out of the room.

"Where the hell!! Are you taking me to?", I asked as I tried to get away from his grip.

I felt him placing the gun at my back and I was really scared.

"One more word and I will shoot you", he said.

I nodded and allowed him to keep on pulling me.

We got out the building that looks like an abandoned warehouse. I saw a car beside the building and he kept on dragging as if I was a baby.

It was really dark outside, I was still thinking what we will be doing at this time of the day.

His voice jolted me back to reality.

"Get in", he said as he opened the car for me.

I look into his and spat at him, he was quick to dodge it.

He looked at me angrily and that was what I wanted him to do. He pushed me into car and closed the door behind me.

He got into the drivers seat and drove off.

I just kept staring at the road not knowing where he was taking me too and I dared not ask him or try anything funny cause his left hand was on the gun as if it was his only hope.

He finally stopped the car and got down from the vehicle. He came over to my side and opened the door.

He brought out his hands out for me. I shot him a glare and hissed!!.

"I don't need your fucking help", I said to him as I tried to get down from the crazy car.

I staggered as I got down from the car cause I lost my balance.

He held me tight and turn my back to to the car.

"What the hell are you doing?", I said loudly.

He tied my hands up again and without answering me, he started pulling me again.

I really hated this moment, I hated his hands on my skin only if I were some superhero.

Everywhere was starking dark as I hardly saw anything.

I noticed there were some trees in the environment. I wondered if people even notice this place exist.

We kept on walking and my legs hurt badly.

I saw some light towards our direction and I was happy that at least I will get some help.

"Don't try anything funny", he said as he placed the gun again at my back.

He was going to where the light was and I was thinking was he not supposed to hide or something.

We got there and I noticed it was a car. My heart skipped a beat at who I set my eyes on.

"Amanda!!", He said loudly.

"Drake !!", I whispered.

He actually came to save me. I was ao grateful to him from saving me from this monster.

"You came just on time", Austin smirked as he looked at him.

Drake jaw was clenched and I could see his hands fisted.

"Where's the deal?", Austin asked.

Drake nodded and went to his car and brought out a bag.

He walked closer to where we were and I was struggling to get free from Austin.

"Drop it on the floor", Austin said as Drake was midway close to us.

Drake did as he was told and looked at me.

I could see his telling me different things. That he was sorry for not being there at the right time. I could feel his emotions.

"Let go of her", Drake commanded.

"I will just let me look at what's in the bag", Austin smirked as he pulled me to the front and bent over to the bag and carried it. He unzipped it and nodded.

" You've done a great Job", Austin said and he pushed me to the floor.

Drake ran over to me and hugged me. I was crying now as I hugged him tightly.

"Amanda am really sorry for leaving you behind", he said with eyes red.

"No!! Drake it wasn't your fault", I said, I didn't want to him to put the blame on himself.

Drake stood up and lifted me up and I leaned on him for support. As were walking we heard a gunshot.

I was damn scared as I looked back, it was Austin.

I saw him groaned as he staggered. Someone just shot him at his legs.

"What the fuck!! You screwed up", he said as he lifted up his gun.

I stood there scared to move and didn't notice when Drake stood Infront of me.

All I heard was bang!! As Drake fell on top of me.

I was shaking terrible at what just happened I looked at Drake and found out he was unconscious.

I pushed him away from me and noticed the blood stained on my hands.

I froze and looked at Drake.

My heart nearly stopped as I shook him.

"Drake! Drake!! Drake!!!", I said loudly crying.

"Noo- noooo!! This can't be hap-happening", I said with trembling voice as I cuddled around Drake.

I saw someone chasing after Austin and here I was helpless with Drake.

"Drake I need you here with me, I want you to stay strong for me! Please!!", I said as I still cuddled him and was crying over him

He was loosing lots of blood and I couldn't think straight.

"Somebody heeeeelllllpppp!!!!!", I screamed loudly.
