Gabriela POV
It hurts...all over. The pain, it's too overbearing. These bruises, they were all caused by the men who kidnapped me. I'm hungry, they only gave me a bag of chips and half a bottle of water each day. How long have I been in this hell? It felt like months. Where is Matt? How 'bout Antonio? Mom and Dad? Did they all just give up on me and decide that I was pronounced dead? Did Matt even care anymore? How come I haven't seen anyone come into this hellhole and save me? Where are the cops?
Matt...we have only just gotten together and now that I've been missing, I have no idea what's he feeling. I miss him so much. His hands when he carresses my cheek, his gestures whenever we make love. His kind and sweet words whenever I'm upset, and most importantly...his smile. His smile gets me so much, it shows more of him. It makes me feel better whenever I see him smile at the smallest things.
Here I was, sitting in this moldy, uncleansed, room at this abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere. The attackers kept me in here for God knows how long. I was getting sick of it. I had made no sense to move because there was one guy standing outside and guarding the door. I pretend to fall asleep when I hear two people talking outside.
"Rev, we need to get her out of here. I'm sick and tired of playing games. I feel bad for her."
There it is again, that name...Rev. Where the hell have I heard that name before? And this guy? He actually feels bad for me?
"I want my money, Oscar. I sent all of them a ransom note, and they have until tonight at midnight to get me the amount that I need." Then I heard shuffling and someone opening my door.
"Dawson, guess what? You're getting out of here tonight. And if you don't coincide with the plan that we've all come up, you're going to be dead meat. Got it?" One of the men said to me.
"It's five o'clock, Dawson. Your brother has exactly seven hours. And if he isn't here at twelve sharp...each minute he's late, is a slit to your throat." My eyes were covered, so I coudn't identify his face, but his voice...it's this Rev guy. They all leave once again, and lock the door behind him.
I hope Antonio and his team are geared for this. I want all of them to be safe when this whole thing is over. Especially Antonio... he has a family. I just pray up above that I will get out of here and back into Matt's arms. It's what I need the most right now.
10:30 PM
I took a nap, and woke up to me in a different location. Instead of me being in a room locked up, I was tied and handcuffed to a very hard backboard. I open my eyes, and no longer were they covered. I look around and see that I was in a large open space, this must be the opening of the warehouse. Then all of a sudden, I hear gunshots.
"EVERYONE DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" I hear a voice call out, it was a feminine voice, Detective Lindsay? I look around and see that everyone had guns in their hands and ready to open fire.
A girl and a man slowly walk out of the shadows, and I identifty them as Voight and Lindsay.
"I thought I said for Antonio to drop off the money, not his whole fucking army." Another voice coming from the shadows. Rev
"Yeah? Well, change of plans, you bastard." Voight said with harshness in the tone of his voice, he points his gun to the direction behind me.
I hear someone inch closer to me, I then feel metal to the side of my head...it's a gun, and I hear this person click in bullets.
"Where's the money, Voight? You don't have it? Oh, well this is a piece of cake. I can pull the trigger and the head of your girl will be blown up into pieces." I cry silently, hoping for someone to stop this charade, I stuggle trying to pull out of the rope that I was tied up in.
"DROP THE WEAPON NOW!" I hear Antonio come out from the shadows, he has five team members behind him ready to fire.
"I have the money, just let my sister go, and I'll give you the money." Antonio says calmly.
Rev gets another guy to hold the gun to my head, as he walks slowly towards the briefcase that was on the ground.
All of a sudden, the guy holding the gun towards my head is punched by one of Antonio's teammates. The guy gets knocked out immediately, and I recognize the teammate as Jay.
"Okay, Dawson, just remain quiet. We're gonna get you out of here, okay? Matt's waiting in the car and there's an ambulance outside. Just think about him, until we've gotten all of the associates down." Jay whispers into my ear. I nod and just wait a few more moments.
I see the scene unfolding in front of me, four other member's of Rev's team gets gunned down and handcuffed as other officers take them away. Rev still doesn't get the idea and doesn't surrender.
Rev takes the briefcase and runs towards the other direction of the warehouse, trying to escape. Then, the SWAT team runs after him and shooting fire. Antonio walks towards me and tells Lindsay to handle me as he takes care of the others associated with Rev.
Lindsay unties my hands and feet, and takes the ductape off my mouth, I leap off the board and hug Lindsay.
"Thank you so much, for saving me." I said to her, as I cry tears of joy.
"No problem, just doing my job." She winks and smiles, as she grabs my hand to lead me out of the warehouse.
"Your whole firehouse came along and the paramedics working at another house will go and check you out, alright?"
I nod and limp towards to the ambulance. The question is, where's Matt?
I take a seat at the ambulance, and let the other paramedics do their work and clean up the wounds and what not.
"Okay, Gabby? You look just fine, there's a few cuts and wounds, and we will bandage them up? Does anywhere else hurt at all?"
"Just my ankle..."
"Okay, it looks like it's sprained. Were gonna bandage that up as well, and after this whole situation is done, we're gonna send you off to Lakeshore, to get that more looked at closely, alright?"
I nod in agreement.
"Gabriela..." I look up and see the person I've been wanting to see for the time I've been gone.
I smile brightly and he runs up to me. The paramedics were done wrapping my ankle, I stood up and gave Matthew the biggest hug ever.
I cry, and I see him with tears as well, "I'm so glad you're okay, you don't know how much I've missed my baby girl." He says as he places a light peck on my forehead.
"Really? I've been gone and all you do is kiss me on my forehead?" I joked.
He grabs my waist, and pulls me closer to him, as he takes my lips and we makeout for a few seconds.
"Much better, Mr. Casey." I smile up at him.
"By the way, I missed you too. I thought all of you forgot about me."
"Never in a million years, baby. I love you too much, and this whole charade? An obstacle. Things will get better as time goes on. But for right now, I don't ever want to let you go." Matt says, as he pulls me in for another hug and I snuggle even closer to him. We stand hugging in front of the whole crime scene and just taking everything in for the moment.
