A/N: Thanks for all the reviews and glad you guys are liking it. Just to clarify everything up to the part where Ana brings the 5 Million to Hyde is Canon.
Chapter 2
Taylor was briefing Christian on the layout of the house. They had been able to get detailed blue prints as well as pictures and videos of the inside and outside of the home. Taylor was discussing several ways to get in and get Ana out. They were also looking into Sophia Alvarez to see if they could get any leverage on her. From what Mrs. Perez had said she was the closest person to Ana besides Hyde. Taylor stood as his phone rang and walked several steps away before answering. When he clicked off the phone Taylor had a huge grin on his face.
"That was Smith with information on Alvarez. Mr. Hagen pays her quite a bit of money for her duties. She's worked for him for about two months now and only on the weekends. However, he looks as though he doesn't pay her, but La Mesa Penitentiary. It looks like Mrs. Alvarez's husband is doing a stint there and they have worked out with the warden that once a quarter of million pesos has been given to him he will let her husband free," Taylor explained.
Soon they had the plan worked out they just needed to find Sophia Alvarez. They had a team working on that now. It was much harder to locate someone in Mexico, Christian thought wryly. It took several hours, but finally they tracked her down working as a maid in a local hotel. They had a team talking her into coming to meet Christian and Taylor at the house they had procured.
Sophia Alvarez did not look happy to be dragged from work by a bunch of American's. Juarez and three others brought her into Christian's house and into the dining room. Christian and Taylor sat waiting anxiously for the woman to come and hopefully help them with their plan. The security team lead her over to a vacant chair then left the room.
"Please Mrs. Alvarez have a seat," Christian stated coolly.
"What is the meaning of all this?," asked the woman as she shakily took a seat.
"We want to talk to you about Mr. Hagen," Christian explained as he set a picture of Jack Hyde on the table.
"I work for him on the weekends that is all," she stated calmly.
"Is she included in your nature of work," Christian asked trying to reign in his anger as sat a picture of Ana on the table gently.
Sophia picked the picture up and examined it closely. Both Christian and Taylor could tell she was thinking of what to say. They waited as she sat the picture down then regarded them casually. "I've never seen her before," she lied easily. Time to play the ace in their back pocket Christian thought wryly. Taylor was already ahead of him and pulling out the file on her husband. "Look Mrs. Alvarez we know everything about yours and Mr. Hagen's business deal," Taylor said as he slapped the file in front of her. They watched as she furrowed her brows and opened the file. Christian and Tyler both wore matching grins and Sophia's face showed her surprise.
"Honestly, Mrs. Alvarez 20,000 USD is change to me if that's what it takes for me to get my wife back and your husband out of prison," Christian said as he glared at the woman.
"You say this woman is your wife?," Sophia squeaked out.
"Yes her name is Anastasia Grey, my Ana," he breathes out relieved they were getting somewhere.
"I've never hurt that woman," she says panicked.
"Hurt her… what do you mean," Christian asks terrified.
"Mr. Grey I watch her on the weekends the last two months. I don't know where he goes, but he leaves Friday evenings and doesn't come back until Sunday afternoons. He gives me the keys when he goes and I give them back when he comes back," she explains then stops to breathe.
"Okay but why would I think you hurt her?," he asks terrified of the answer.
"When I get there she is locked in a cage like for big dogs. She's always naked and covered in bruises. I bring clothes for her now when I come. I don't make her stay in that cage it sickens me. He told me she was crazy and hurts herself and that is why he locks her up like that. She doesn't talk much, but she is not crazy," Sophia Alvarez finishes.
Christian stands from the table his fists balled in anger. Hyde would pay for every bruise he ever put on his wife. Every tear his wife shed in the last 18 months would be paid for with Hyde's blood. "Take care of this!," Christian shouted towards Taylor as he angrily stalked out of the room. Sophia Alvarez looked beyond frightened as she watched the man storm out of the room. "We're going to need your help on this one Mrs. Alvarez," Taylor started. After an hour of speaking with the woman Taylor was confident they would have Ana back within 48 hours.
"36 more hours sir and we will have Mrs. Grey back," Taylor assures his boss. Christian continues to pace back and forth anger radiating off of him. Christian figured Hyde wasn't playing nice with his wife, but learning all that was just too much. He couldn't wait to get his hands on Hyde, however that wasn't what was foremost on his mind. Once he had Ana secured they would work on a plan to get Hyde. If they didn't do something with Hyde now he was going to keep coming after them. "We're sure Alvarez is on bored?," Christian asked for the millionth time. Taylor hid a smirk knowing how serious everything was especially with Ana's involvement. "Yes, sir. She knows the minute we have Ana her husband will be free," Taylor assured him. Christian paced a few more times then finally stopped. "I'd like to be alone for now," Christian said as he made his way to his room. Taylor left abruptly leaving Christian to his own devices.
Christian sat on his bed finally breaking down since he heard that Ana was here. She was so close, but he had to wait. All he wanted to do was break down the door and get his wife back. Then he wanted to subject Hyde to a slow agonizing death for dare touching what was his. For hurting Ana he would die. Locking his wife in a cage and beating her was unacceptable and Hyde would pay. He quickly composed himself then jumped in the shower. He just needed to make it through the next 36 hours then he would be able to breath easily again.
35 hours later…
"Sir, Mrs. Alvarez just contacted us. She is in the room with Ana and Hyde is heading towards the airport," Taylor updated his boss.
"Lets make the move now. Have a team take him down at the airport," Christian urged.
"Are you sure that is wise sir. I think Mrs. Grey should be top priority," Taylor spoke out of turn.
"We'll go now to get Ana and send a team to get Jack, understood!," Christian barked.
"Yes, sir" Taylor said tersely as he got on his phone to bark out the new orders.
Ana smiled when she saw Sophia was back. That meant it was Friday and she wouldn't have to see Jack until Sunday. Ana watched wearily from the cage as Jack handed Sophia the keys. He glanced back at Ana smirked then walked through the door leaving for the weekend. Sophia walked to the window and watched as Jack got in the car and drove off. She scrambled over to the cage then let Ana out. "Put these clothes on," Sophia said smiling at the young girl. Ana took the clothes silently heading to the bathroom. A few minutes later she came out fully dressed.
"Mrs. Grey put these shoes on," Sophia urged her.
"Wh.. Wh.. What did you call me?," Ana asked unbelievingly.
"Your husband has been in contact with me and he is coming soon to get you," Sophia explained.
"Christian?," Ana couldn't believe here ears.
"The shoes Mrs. Grey," Sophia urged.
