Note: Sorry guys, when I uploaded it, I posted without getting to proofread it first by accident, so I took it down. Here it is for you now.
Sam's POV:
I felt my feet moving, though I wasn't consciously making them. As Colin was coming closer, I was backing away. But not fast enough. He was gaining on me.
"What's the matter Sam?" Colin smirked at me, a hint of malice in his voice. "I'm not going to hurt you."
I wasn't comforted by the promise. I turned to run but he caught me in a matter of seconds, throwing me to the ground and pinning me down. His hands were in my hair, his breath on my neck. I was powerless to stop him. Something inside me didn't want him to stop. My mind involuntarily wandered for a moment, wondering what it would be like.
But I knew it was wrong. I loved David.
His lips were on my lips, my neck, my collarbone. Then lower and lower. Shaking myself from the daze that had taken hold of me, I found my strength and when his hands moved from my arms to slide under my shirt, I slammed my hands into his chest with all the force I could muster. The move surprised him and he fell to the side.
I reacted instantly. I shot up off the ground and ran as fast as I could. I was running too fast to really see, my only indication that I was going the right direction being the thinning trees. It had been a mistake to come into the woods, to follow that path. I hadn't known where it had gone and it seemed like it would never end. I didn't know if he was following me or not. All I could hear was the sound of the wind in my ears as I kept pushing myself, faster and faster. Then I slammed into a tree. Or I thought it was a tree.
It turned out to be a Secret Service agent. He grabbed both of my arms and bent down to look me eye to eye. "Are you alright Miss Madison?"
My head was shaking and I was making whimpering noises, but I couldn't make myself form words. From the corner of my eye I could see agents fanning out, taking cover in the trees.
They knew.
David's POV:
I felt absolutely useless. Sam was off in the woods with a potential murder/rapist/terrorist/God knows what and I could not do anything about it. The agents adamantly refused to let me go anywhere.
I sat back at the house with Jason, who was commanding the strike team. The silence was deafening. The only noise was the crackle of the radio, interlaced with the occasional update from the agents. Someone had turned the TV on and Scary Movie was playing the background, Sam's favorite of the franchise. It was a tiny distraction at best.
There was a man on the phone with my father, a CIA operative no doubt, who was giving him the real story behind Colin. He had been trained from birth to become a member of the Secret Service, but apparently became corrupted in college, when he was approached by an elite group of rogue assassins. At the time, he had reported them, which made people believe he was not one of them. But they were wrong.
Finally, we were contacted by Lance, who informed us that Sam was a little shaken, but safe. They were laying low for Colin. They had a plan.
Sam's POV:
I laid on the ground, again, faking a broken leg. The agents were out of sight, but not out of mind. When Colin found me, he would be surrounded. I was bait.
I heard footsteps in the distance, creeping closer. I tried to make my breath ragged and panicked, knowing I was going to have to pull off an Oscar worthy performance if our plan was going to work.
As the steps got closer, I began screaming. "Help! Somebody please help me!"
Colin swept out of the woods, his torso gleaming with water and sweat. I began having second thoughts. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I had misled him. Maybe this was all one huge misunderstanding. Maybe it was my fault. I continued panting.
"Sam, Sam, Sam. What am I going to do with you?" he wondered aloud. He moved closer, taking his time. Like I was prey.
So it wasn't my fault.
"I've wanted you for a long time." Colin said, staring at me seriously. "I had tried before. The hospital. Remember that Sam? You were outside, all alone. They warned me you were difficult, but I told them I would take on the challenge." he smirked "And now it would appear I have won."
"Freeze." a female voice rang out. It was Kara, her blonde hair tied back in a bun. Her gun was pointed straight at Colin's head. Soon, the other agents came out of hiding, their guns pointed at Colin as well. "We have you Colin. Surrender."
Colin chuckled and put his hands on his head. "I won't fight you. Yet." he continued to chuckle to himself as Kara walked up behind him with handcuffs. She booked him without a struggle.
I felt Lance's hands come under my arms and pick me up off the ground. "Its over Miss Madison. Its over." I hugged him compulsively.
I heard Colin mutter in the background. It sounded a lot like "That's what you think."
Author's Note: So its over? Or is it? I guess we'll see. R&R!
