Chapter 139: Chapter 139

Jason did not want to start running with Nancy for two main reasons.

The first was that she was pregnant and was already too stressed and secondly, the road was a straight road with no place to hide and the goons may shoot at them and it would be a straight one. He could not risk getting Nancy injured.

'Why were the police taking so long?' Jason asked as he got the gun he had taken from Richmond ready if only to stall for more time.

He gave it to Nancy and held on to his own which he had also remembered to take from Richmond. He quickly thought her how to use it the gun.

Her hands were trembling violently. She had not used a gun before and did not know if she was ready to kill anyone even those deserving of it like Rodney and his goons.

She made up her mind to use it if need be and not disappoint Jason.

She felt that she would rather do it than get captured again by that lot because she knew that this time, her fate would not be admirable.

The short-tempered Rodney was ready to ask her goons to gang rape her and where would she be then especially being pregnant as she was.

'You do not have to use it except if absolutely necessary', he said feeling sorry that she had to experience this.

He held her hand and squeezed it to give her courage and she felt strength flow from his hands into her being.

Jason could see the sudden change in her demeanor. The determination on her face and he was glad that she would fight rather than give up.

He wished though that she didn't have to go through with all this. If there was any other way, he would have gone for that but his options were limited.

By this time the car was level with them.

'Get out of the car and surrender or we shoot', a different voice said harshly.

Jason and Nancy hesitated. Nancy's heart was beating rapidly with fright.

She thought of her unborn baby who may never be brought into the world through no fault of his. She thought of Jason who had warned her to stay home but she had wanted to make him jealous and see where her foolish decision had landed them?

She thought about herself and now she would never know how it felt to be loved by Jason, no just that but to be ravished by him. She felt pity for herself that she would never know true love.

These thoughts filled her with anger and her fear disappeared.

A shot rang out.Jason immediately pushed Nancy's head down.

There was a round scattered crack where the bullet had passed through on the windscreen.

Jason knew that these people meant business for sure.

He was still wondering why the authorities had not arrived. Was the call intercepted? The police were not this slow in responding, that he knew.

He took his phone again to call but it was scrambled and he could not hear anything.

He still passed on the message he wanted to hoping that they would hear him though he could not hear them. He conveyed the danger they were in and after the call, he wanted to make a video of all that was happening but there was no time and it was dangerous. So, he took snapshots showing all their attackers in different positions.

The flash of light warned the goons that something was wrong and they advanced the parked car though cautiously knowing that their quarry had guns.'Jason, this might be the last time we shall be together, could you kiss me?'

Jason was surprised at such a request. Here they were fighting for their survival and all Nancy could think of was to be kissed but he had to admit that he was flattered.

'I promise you we shall get out of this alive', he said hoping that he was right.

'I believe in you but I still want to be kissed by you. I have loved you for so long and have wanted to be totally yours but there has always been one hindrance or the other to our love. Maybe we are not meant to be together', she said sadly.

Now she did not care what happened. She was done being scared.

Jason threw caution to the wind. The situation was dite and they may not survive though he was determined that they would.

But he felt very excited all of a sudden. He had heard that dangerous situations made people horny but he had not believed it but he was experiencing it now.

He did not know if he would be able to stop himself in time except of course something happened to stop him.

With the gun still in his hands, he pulled Nancy to himself and kissed her.

Like he had predicted to himself, desire flared in his loins and his blood was boiling hot.

He deepened the kiss.

Nancy did not want to be anywhere else but where she was presently, in Jason's arms being kissed by him.

They kept kissing and she could not stop moaning because surprisingly, she was enjoying it immensely. Could fear heighten one's libido? she wondered and did not want it to stop and from what Jason was doing, he did not want to stop either.

'Raise your hands. We are closing in on you and you are surrounded by us. You should know that you are outnumbered and stand no chance.

If you do not care for your life, at least consider the life of the lady and her unborn child', Rodney said.

This was what tore through the haze of desire clouding Jason's brain and he tore his mouth off Nancy and held her away from him when she would have returned to his arms.

'Later. Right now we have to find a way to beat these men to their game. We shall surrender. It is no use fighting them. They are much more than us and they all have guns. They can't kill us here. They would want to take us back to the lodge and torture us and then we can take them unawares and who knows,the elusive police would eventually come to our rescue'.

Nancy nodded. She was ready to face anything provided Jason was with her.

Nancy raised her hands and would have gone first but Jason pulled her back, gave her one last quick kiss and said, 'No, let me precede you'.

He put the gun back into his pocket intentionally, raised his hands and walked away from the car.

'Where is the woman?'

Nancy came out from behind Jason, hands raised'. She had also hidden the gun in her brassiere, out of sight.

She didn't know if she would have the chance to use it but it's feel gave her confidence.

'Now walk that way into the car', Rodney said pointing to their own car which was more spacious since it was a large car, a land cruiser.

As they walked, Rodney remembered something.

'Gently bring out your guns and throw them here'.

There was no use pretending. Jason brought out his gun and threw it on the floor as he had been ordered and walked on towards the car with his hands still raised.

He counted the men and there were five of them, including Rodney.

'Wait! You had two guns with you. Where is the second?'

'It is in the car. He gave me to hold it but I could not. So I kept it in the pigeon hole. You will find it there'. Nancy said giving Jason a sign to keep quiet.

Jason felt proud of her courage and resourcefulness.

Rodney did not see any need for him to go for the gun just then. If necessary, he could go back for it later.

He hit Jason with the butt of the gun and urged him on into the car.

When they were all settled in the car, one of the goons drove the car back to the lodge while the others kept their guns trained on their captives.
