Sorry for not updating again! I was out of the town ! :) Anyway, here's another chapter - this is getting close to end, but just a little more drama..
I kinda don't remember correctly, but I think both Carrick and Ray had been from the police on the original book. Even if I am not right - in this story they are :D
Hope you likt it and it is edited by icalyn ! :)
"We can't call the police!" Christian protested his dad's suggestion.
"But you have to call the police."
"Once in the letters he said that if we call the police he would kill her. We have enough police in here." He said knowing both Carrick and Ray had once been police officers.
"We will get her, Christian. Annie will be okay." Ray said, patting his son-in-law on his back.
Then Christian's specialists came in the great room where both families were. "We tried to track the phone, but the number was blocked from us being able to see its location. Still no further news from him?" Welch asked as he came in the room.
"Then call the phone company and unlock it!" Christian yelled, not being able to control his behavior.
His Ana. His wife, his love.
No, he wouldn't let Jack take Ana; he would not let that happen.
The doorbell rang and Grace was about to stand up but he wouldn't let his mom go anywhere alone now.
"I have a delivery for Christian Grey." The boy said, holding the box meant for Christian in his hands.
Christian signed the sheet and opened the bow as soon as he got it in his hands.
Inside, there was a photograph of Christian and his family. Before he had even met Anastasia. It must have been a photo for some charity event that all his family probably had attended.
And a photo of him and Anastasia from that night when he first took her out publicly.
And a note.
Once you got a family.
This time...
Christian wanted to trash the note, tear it apart and burn the pieces.
"Show me what was sent." Welch said as he took the note and looked at the photos.
As Carrick and Ray did the same, they suggested looking back. "It has to be something from the past." Ray said.
"Once you got a family…" Carla read out the line out loud. "Christian, it might be referencing to the fact that you were adopted. Maybe it is some orphan who did not have a chance to have a family?"
"It could be, but we took Christian from a friendly foster home. All the other kids were happy with each other, they didn't seem to want another life." Grace said.
"Welch, check everyone from that foster home." Christian commanded and left the room. He couldn't bear the fact that this was his wedding day. This was not supposed to be this way.
He went upstairs to his old room and looked at the few photos he had on the table. His birth mother, his first birthday with the Grey's, and then he saw another photo – in the foster home.
He looked closely at the photo and saw something familiar in the taller boy standing next to him.
He reminded him of... Hyde.
He quickly went downstairs and in the hallway he met Welch who was telling him that Jackson Richard Hyde had been in the same foster house as him and he had records as a depressed teenager who didn't like it here and longed for a family.
"Christian, they found the phone's location!" Carrick yelled and Christian didn't waste any time getting to his car and taking along Taylor and a whole team of bodyguards to go get back his wife.
"I don't know why he would marry such a boring wife." Jack said, coming to Ana who was sitting on the ground, in an empty corner, afraid of the man who had been threatening her and Christian.
Maybe Elena wasn't actually the bad one. Maybe this man was the boss.
"At least it won't be a big loss for him."
"Christian won't lose me!" Ana said, still looking at the wall in front of her.
"Oh, yes he will. Soon our helicopter will land on this house and we will be going far, far away. Don't get your hopes up – you will have just a year to live. And then – "
"I am not interested in your sick plans. You are going to spend the rest of your life in jail for what you are doing to him. You don't know him. He deserves happiness. He loves me, and he loves our child. Why are you taking us away from him, we are his family?"
"Exactly. I am doing what he did to me. You might not know, but before the Grey's adopted Christian they had spoken with me, asked me if I would like to be in a real family. I was supposed to be in his place. Not the little boy who had just lost his mother and who had a few scars on his chest to make him even more pathetic. What he deserves is to know how it is when someone takes away your family."
"You are sick! It's not Christian's fault the Grey's chose him. Instead of doing this stupid revenge scheme you should have found a family for yourself."
"Well, Ana, you might not remember me very well then." Jack laughed, standing up and walking to a table from which he took an envelope.
He threw it at her, and Ana's eyes widened in shock as she opened the envelope. She looked at him, trying to picture him with long hair and piercings.
It was him. It had been him.
While Ana was in college, there always had been a few guys that liked her. Like Jose, her old best male friend. Then there had been this one cute boy but he had been too cute and popular for her liking, even though now she was married to an international businessman who was very famous for everything he did. And there had been one creep who always had wanted to dance with her, who had asked her out, who had given her chocolates.
She had always politely turned him down, saying she was not interested in relationships until a party where Ana had been drunk for the first and yet last time in her life. Then she had turned him down hard. She said she would never choose him over the other guys who liked her. She told him that she didn't find his style or his piercings attractive.
Then she remembered that she had made it even worse the next morning when she had apologized to him and said she actually didn't know if she would ever want a relationship, she was not ready for dating or talking about something more serious since he had said she is the woman he would love to marry one day.
And here she was – married to someone who has seemed to be his enemy since childhood.
"Jack, please stop. You can't control feelings. You can't know the reasons why the Grey's chose Christian. And as for love... I didn't think I would fall in love with anyone back then. I am sorry, Jack, this has gone too far. Look at you. Just call Christian. Tell him where you are. Realize you are wasting your life being too attached to the past. Please."
As Ana said it, Jack seemed to have more interest in what was happening outside. "Fuck!" He shouted as he got to Ana and stood her up, taking her with him to another room. He took out his phone and called Christian.
"If anyone walks in the house she is dead."
"How much you want!? You will get any sum, just give me my wife back."
"You know what…maybe you are right. You two deserve to be together till death tears you apart." Jack said. "Only you can come in the house. And no guns or anything if you want to get her back."
Within a few minutes Ana heard steps in the house, coming closer and closer to the room they were in now. Just as the door opened, Jack grabbed her, pulled her to him and placed something against her head.
Ana had just one idea what that something was. She wanted to cry and to scream but she just couldn't. What if these minutes were her last on this earth? And what about Christian?
"Ana." Christian said as he saw his wife being held against her will in the monster's arms. He saw her suffering and all he wanted was to be in her place. He wanted her to be safe at home, rubbing her baby bump, reading a book.
He wanted her to be safe.
"Don't move." Jack commanded and Christian stopped, just a few feet away from them.
"I will give you anything you want. I will."
"I know." Jack smirked as he held the gun to her head even closer. "Your reaction to your family being taken away is what I want. Anything you want to say to her? Or you, my sweet freshman, do you want to say anything to him? "
"Let her go. Take me." Christian tried to be as calm as he could when all he wanted to do was kill the man. He just couldn't believe he could do it. He couldn't take someone's life, how could anyone?
"You? No, I want to see you suffer without her, which will be better. If you don't have anything to say to each other, then..." Christian heard a soft I love you before Jack pulled the trigger and the world stopped.
All he heard was Ana's sobs as he just instinctively ran to the man and pushed him on the ground. Then Christian finally heard the gunshot.
He looked in the eyes of Jack Hyde who was laughing an evil laugh and then Christian realized he was bleeding. He didn't feel anything. Soon he didn't see anything either. The last thing he saw was Ana stepping on Jack's hand, taking away the gun. He felt himself being moved as Jack stood up and then everything went black.
He just heard Ana's scream and another gunshot.
