āAndrew, leave her alone. Bring her back to her cell and get Bill out of thereā¦. Lock her up and leave her there. We donāt need her escaping again.ā
āYes, sir.ā Andrew had kept me in his hold as he dragged me to the cell, through me back in and made sure he helped his brother stand up on his feet.
āShe kicked me in a bad place,ā Bill told Andrew as he eyed me with anger.
They left, closing the door behind them, and I listened as the door locked from the other side.
I curled up on the bed and pulled my knees up to my face as I began crying again. I didnāt want to be stuck there any longer than I had been and I wanted to leave as soon as possible.
I curled up into a ball and lay facing the wall on the other side of the room. My pillow which didnāt really do anything was wet from my salty tears as I continued to cry. I felt this sharp sheering pain in my head as a headache formed. I didnāt know if it was from the crying or if the pillow was the caused but my head was sore from either one.
āSAM!ā Louisās voice called to me.
I wanted to answer but I figured it was a dream.
āSAM!ā I heard his sweet caring voice call to me again. āSAM!ā Knock, knock, knock.
I jolted up out of bed as I heard the noise again and this time I ran to the door.
āSAM, ARE YOU IN THERE?!ā
I felt relief consume me as I was sure I was dreaming. āLOUIS?!ā
āSAM! I GOING TO GET YOU OUT OF THERE! IF YOUR NEAR THE DOOR, YOU MIGHT WANT TO BACK AWAY!ā
I did as he had demanded and moved under the window.
BANG! BANG! BANG! The door flew open and Louis stood in front of me. He was covered in bruises and cuts. I cried as I looked at him.
āLouis?ā I asked as the tears flew down my cheeks like waterfalls.
Louis nodded and smiled.
I ran over and hugged him, trying not to touch his sores or bruises. āHow did you find me?ā
āLong storyā¦.ā
I looked up at him as he smiled down at me. āWhat did you do?ā
He kind of laughed. āLetās see I fought the dragon then came and rescued the princess.ā
I kind of laughed as I remembered the story I had created for Lainie. āIām so sorry I had to put you through thisā¦. You shouldnāt have had to do thisā¦. Iāve put you through so much alreadyā¦. I donāt even know why you would even want to be with me after all of this?ā
Louis laughed again. āI admit that I was ticked off when I didnāt see you in the car after I told you to stay thereā¦. But youāre worth the troubleā¦. Iām always going to be willing to do whatever it takes to keep you safe even if I have to fight for you or go looking for youā¦. Now, Iām not saying that you should go looking for trouble out of stupidity but Iām always going to do what I need to so you could be safe.ā
I smiled as I locked eyes with him. āYouāre hurt because of me though.ā
āWorth itā¦. Besides, itās only a few bruises and minor injuriesā¦. Nothing majorā¦. Iāll be fineā¦. Now we need to get out of hereā¦. Weāve caught the Baker brotherās but the third guy escapedā¦.ā
āThe cookā¦.ā
āHuh?ā
āThe cookā¦. The younger cook who works for Ron and Annieā¦.ā
Louis moved his eyes in all kinds of directions, thinking. āAre you sure?ā
I nodded. āIāve seen himā¦. Heās the mastermindā¦. He explained everything to me.ā
āOf courseā¦. Itās an inside jobā¦. Why didnāt I think about that before? The possibly of someone working inside of the houseā¦. I should have at least thought about questioning everyone who worked there but for some reason it escaped my mind.ā He locked eyes with me. His look had changed from happy to see me to a serious look which meant we needed to leave. āThanks for telling me, Sam.ā He kissed my cheek then pulled away from me as he realized that I had a bruise on my face. āWho did that to you?ā
āAndrewā¦. The biker looking guy who didnāt have a scar on his faceā¦. His brother tried to force himself on me when I kicked him in a bad place.ā
Louis raised both eyebrows and smiled. āGood at least I know you can defend yourself. Now come on you can explain the rest of the story to me some other time which Iām going to see if George will let me give both of the brothers a piece of my mindā¦. No one hits my girlfriend and gets away withā¦. Come on.ā He grabbed my hand and lead me down the hall as we met up with Eric and George along with a few other cops.
āGood to see that youāre alive, Sam,ā George told me with a sympathy look.
āYea sorry you had to go through this,ā Eric replied.
I kind of smiled. āThanks, guys.ā
Back in the Safety ZoneLouis drove us back to the house. I wondered what Annie and Ron would say when they had seen me. I wondered how they were going to react when I told them about the cook who lied to them and only worked for them just to find a way into the house. I knew that theyād probably be shocked but also ashamed that they had even thought to hire someone like him. Louis grabbed my hand. āItās okay, Sam. Itās going to be okay.ā
āBut I canāt help itā¦. This whole thingā¦. The whole situation is crazyā¦.ā My tears had dried and my puffy red eyes where itchy from the dried tears I had cried. āHow could that guy do that? When I told him that Kathleen had died because of that fire, he didnāt even care. He just stood there as if her death meant nothing. It didnāt even bother him.ā
Louis sighed. āSadly, evil doesnāt care about othersā¦. Thatās how it isā¦. People like him donāt care about anything else but getting what they want no matter what they have to do or how they have to do itā¦. They donāt care if innocent people get hurt or killedā¦. As long as they get what they want nothing else seems to matter.ā He shook his head. āThing is they donāt realize when they make bad choices then the coincidences growā¦. If he doesnāt get what he deserves in this life, then heāll get it when he diesā¦. Unless he asks for forgiveness from God but if he donāt, then heāll sufferā¦.ā He glanced at me then back toward the road. āBut donāt worryā¦. Weāre not going to let him get away that easilyā¦. Heās the last one we to place in prison and then everything will go back to normal as soon as possibleā¦. Well, not exactly normal, but close enoughā¦. Although, youāre not coming with me on the next tripā¦.ā He smiled as he locked eyes with me for a brief moment. āNow you can see why we donāt have a bring your girlfriend to work day,ā he said as he kind of laughed.
I smiled and shook my head although I had to agree with him.
We arrived back at the house and Annie ran out and hugged me after I climbed out of the car. āI was so worried about you after Louis called and told me what had happenedā¦. I panickedā¦.ā
āIām fine, Annieā¦.ā I replied. āAlthough, I am kind of hungry.ā
Annie smiled and nodded.
āBut I think Iām going to shower first.ā
Annie nodded again and led me into the house.
I looked back and smiled as Louis made his way behind us.
Annie looked back at Louis as we entered into my room. āPrince charming rescued the princess?ā she asked with a warm smile in her tone.
I felt myself smiling at the question. āIn a wayā¦.ā
āThatās all Lainieās been talking aboutā¦. You being the princess and Louis being your prince charming after you were kidnapped although we didnāt word it to where it would be as scary for her to understand.ā
I nodded as I walked over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of sweats and a t-shirt then pulled out a pair of underwear. I looked at Annie and I sighed. āI have some horrible news,ā I told her as she turned to face me.
āWhatās that?ā she asked.
I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment to prepare myself for what I was about to tell her. āThe young cookā¦. Well, younger cook who works for you and Ronā¦.ā
āYes,ā she sighed as she kind of nodded for me to continue.
āHe was in on the break in and the fireā¦. I couldnāt believe it when I saw him myself but it was and he was so evilā¦. He didnāt even care when I told him about what had happened to Kathleen.ā
Annie fell into a sitting position on the bed as tears filled her eyes. The shock and confusion where apparent in her eyes. She shook her head with disbelief. āWhy?ā
āI donāt knowā¦. He said he wanted Ronās money but that gives him no reason to do what he has done to the two of youā¦. To Lainieā¦. Iām so sorry.ā
āItās not your fault.ā
After I had showered, I had walked into the kitchen where I found Ron, Annie, Eric, George, and Louis waiting for me. āWhereās Lainie?ā I asked.
āShe already ate and is in her room, playing with her toys,ā Annie answered.
I nodded.
āAnnie and Louis told me about the cook,ā Ron said.
I sighed and walked over to Louis, sitting next to him. āIām sorry.ā
Ron shook his head. āNothing to apologize forā¦. Thank you for letting them know by the wayā¦. Itās a good for the men working on our case to knowā¦. So by you telling Louis is a good thingā¦.ā
I nodded.
āAs for telling Annie itās good that you let one of us knowā¦. One of his employersā¦. Good job.ā
I kind of smiled. Before I could say anything, Annie had a plate of food in front of me. The smell was a sweet smelling scent which told me it was roasted honey glazed ham and mash potatoes along with some cream corn on top. āThanks, Annie.ā
āNo problem,ā she replied as she handed me a fork and a small butter knife.
āWeāre going out tomorrow to see if we can catch Fredrick,ā George told everyone. āWe have a good feeling we know where heāll beā¦. Weāre going to have quite a few detectives along with the police and weāll get him.ā
āSam,ā Louis whispered to me, ālike I told
