Thank you to everyone who has reviewed. I wasn't sure I was going to get it up today as my boss and coworker have just come back from two week vacations. It's been a whirlwind in the office! I'm trying to get back to each of you ASAP, if I haven't please don't shoot me! I haven't even gotten time to read everyone else's amazing stories yet!

I hope you enjoy

Unless you have a death wish, when someone points a gun to your head and tells you to shut your mouth, you're going to listen. But then again, if someone points a gun at your head odds are in your favor that he's not all together rational enough to comprehend that trail of thought. So if you being a rational creature that you assume yourself to be would completely understand that person needing to instill an ever deeper fear in your gut but pressing your back firmly against them as an arm is hung around your neck and the gun is pushed further into your temple.

These were the thoughts running through Andy McNally's head as she was held in a tight grip with Donny breathing in her ear. There was a knock at the door and Andy wanted to scream. She wanted, needed to get the person's attention.

"You make a sound," Donny's voice rasped in her ear, "and I won't hesitate to kill you and whoever is at the door."

To make his point, Donny pushed the safety button and an audible click was heard. Andy closed her eyes and nodded. She wasn't going to do anything that wouldn't allow her to get home to her father, her friends, and Sam. She couldn't die here on Sam, he'd never forgive himself. Beyond that, she couldn't let whoever was innocently knocking on the door be killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She was focusing on controlling her breathing. Her heart was racing and her chest was in danger of heaving a mile a minute. Her eyes snapped open as the door to the room she was being held in was opened in a rush to reveal Petey's panic stricken face.

"It was the cops," he was nervous and his words were rushing together. "They're looking for her. Going door to door. They aren't gonna stop Donny."

Andy only had a moment to gasp trying to not let the sob escape her throat. Donny shoved her as hard as he could and she hit the wall. He turned to shove Petey out of the room and went to leave the room but not before reaching down to grab a hand full of Andy's hair and yank her head back to him.

"If you so much as make a noise, I'll make sure I'm the only one that leaves this apartment. I don't make threats, I make promises."

Once the door had slammed shut, Andy again tried to swallow her fear and get a handle on her pain. The pain in her temple was throbbing to a point of nausea but she refused to lose control. From the other room, she could hear them arguing. Donny was clearly in charge of this situation, but he was taking orders from someone else. That's what her gut was telling her at any rate. She got her breathing under control and listen to what they were saying.

Andy took a deep breath and reached for her phone. Now or never Andy. She needed to get information to Sam before it was too late.

Go back! I heard someone at the door. Sam I heard someone. They sent them away.

Andy brought the phone up to her chest to cradle it. She shut her eyes and let her other senses take over. They were talking on a phone and she was struggling to hear them. Her only hope was that whoever had come to the door noticed that something was off here. She knew that Sam would integrate everyone and prayed his gut told him which officer had really been to where she was being held. He had to know. He had to come.

How long? We're going door to door. What did you hear?

Andy nearly cried at Sam's response. She honestly didn't know how long. Her sense of time was seriously warped. She'd lost consciousness and couldn't even try to predict the time of day that it was without looking at her phone.

An argument from the next move caught her attention. Whoever was on the phone with Donny was clearly calling the shots. They were going to move her or try. This wasn't very good. What the hell have I stumbled into this time?

She looked down at her phone and felt a new wave of desperation hit her as sent another message to Sam.

Idk, they sent him away. Said it was police. Moving me ASAP. Getting nervous. They're scrambling. I may not get to text for a while. Find me Sam.

Andy barely had time to register any thought before her phone vibrated alerting her to another message from Sam.

I'm coming to get you. Hold tight McNally.

And suddenly, there was hope again. Andy knew without a doubt that Sam was always coming for her, now she just had a bigger reason to believe that it was going to happen a lot faster. He was on a mission now and she almost felt bad for Donny and Petey. Almost.

Andy barely had time to get the phone back into her boot before she heard Donny yelling again. The building was surrounded and there was no way they were going to be able to get her down nine floors without anyone noticing.

Her head snapped up as she went still. Got you ass***e.

Sorry it's so short, but I think it builds anxiety for Andy's situation, plus, a lot happens in a few minutes! I hope it came across that way!

Reviews are excellent muses!
