Chapter 14
"Ana, stay put, I will be back in a couple hours."
"What is going on now Christian?" Ana asks almost panicked.
"I need you to listen to me and do exactly as I say, you are not to leave this room, get dress and wait for me." Christian says his face expressionless.
Ana gets out the bed, she dress's quickly, she puts on her jeans and a t-shirt and a hoodie to keep her warm, and she puts on her sneakers and waits for Christian to come back to the room. She can hear him barking orders outside but she cannot hear exactly what he is saying. The door swings open and four security detail walk in behind Christian, Ana has never seen them before; they seem very cut and dry as they walk past her without even a hint of a smile.
"Sawyer, one fuck up, just one, you and your team can kiss your jobs good bye. No one comes in and no one goes out until I am back." Christian says, looking heartlessly at Sawyer.
Gail comes in with a tray of food and a tea pot and cups, she smiles warmly at Ana and Ana goes to her side, she knows that at this point Christian is beyond comforting and he only cares about their safety now. Gail rubs Ana's arms to warm her; even though she is wearing a hoodie she is still cold. The atmosphere that was only a couple hours ago romantic and enticing is now cold and silent.
"Taylor let's go." Christian takes a few steps and then comes back to Ana.
"Ana, please listen to Sawyer and stay put, I love you." He says and leaves quickly.
The four Security details are out on the balcony, Sawyer is standing at the closed door, and he is communicating with Taylor and more security in the house via a radio. Gail pours Ana some tea, she takes it in her hands and then stares at it blankly, like she has no idea what she needs to do with it. Gail looks worriedly at Ana and then at Sawyer whose face is grim, he looks away from Gail's questioning gaze.
"Ana, drink your tea you will feel better."
"Gail, has Taylor told you anything, what is going on?"
"No Ana, he just said they needed to go."
Ana looks at Sawyer, his lips pressed together, like he is telling her that he will not tell her a word.
"Sawyer, what do you know about this situation?" Ana asks, her tone telling Sawyer that she was desperate to know what was going on, but Sawyer knew very little, all he could do was stay firm and not let emotions get in the way, after all that was what he was trained for, he was very fond of Mr Grey and Ana and right now he wanted to tell Ana that everything was fine, but he could not be sure himself if everything was fine or not. For all he knew Mr Grey and Taylor could be walking right into a trap, they could be meeting with their perpetrator right at that very minute but he could not tell Ana that and risk her rushing out of Escala to help Mr Grey. Ana was a strange woman , she didn't fear for losing her life, all she cared about was being at Mr Grey's side, in a woman it was rare for one to face villains, crazy ex - girlfriends, being held at gun point and then still carry on with life as if it never happened. Ana was indeed one of a kind.
"Ms Steele⦠Ana, we are only briefed on our current task, which is to ensure you stay put and both yourself and Ms Gail are safe." Sawyer says bluntly.
Christian and Taylor have just arrived at the hospital. Christian is mad as hell, their only lead to Jack and Johnathan is dead. Olivia was found dead, poisoned in her cell, she was charged with aiding the abduction of Andrea. She was willing to bargain with them, they were so close; she was going to be moved somewhere safer the next morning, in exchange for her information. How was it possible that either Jack or Johnathan could get into the police prison and poison Olivia just before she gave them the information they needed?
"Mr Grey, I am detective Ward."
"How did this happen?" Christian asks, not wasting any time.
"We are busying investigating; we found this envelope on her when we discovered her body."
"Did she have any visitors?" Taylor asked sternly.
"No, not a single visitor, beside the person who went to deliver her food to her, she didn't see anyone else."
"Have you questioned the person who delivered her food to her?" Christian asks.
"I will as soon as I find the person, It was a temp that helped out for the day."
"Do you have any camera footage?" Christian asks, as the answer to the mystery creeps up his spine, telling him that either Jack or Johnathan had done this.
"No, but I can have another prisoner describe him and have him sketched."
"Get back to me as soon as you have it."
"There is one more thing, this is her belongings, and we don't know what to do with it."
Christian takes the box, he hands it to Taylor and they leave, he had hoped that Olivia would have led him to that sick fucker Jack. Now he had not a single clue where to start his search. They head back to Escala and he silently reads the letter that is in the envelope that detective Ward handed him.
It has been 2 hours and Christian is still not back, Ana is pacing the room floor, she is restless and wants to know what is going on, she looks at Gail who tries to give her a reassuring smile but Ana knows that Gail is just as worried as she is, she knows that whenever Taylor and Christian go out there, leaving them in Sawyer's care, something terrible always happens.
Suddenly Ana hears gun shots and Gail runs to her, Sawyer tries to radio the security detail downstairs and he barks instructions at the men on the balcony but Ana cannot hear a word of what Sawyer is saying, she is frozen right where she was standing.
