A/N – Thanks for all of the reviews. EchoZ – I think from a villain standpoint, they don't want to give you that much time. It would take Jason 5 minutes to hand over what he has. Jason did threaten her.
Virgy15 – To make it a little realistic, he has to touch her a little….sorry.
Guest – Re: cheer for Lucky. I went back and forth but I realized that Lucky knows Wyndemere so I decided to redeem him a little.
Chapter 28 – To the Rescue
Lucky glanced at Jason. "Do you have a small sketchbook or something I can draw on?"
Jason nodded. "Look in the seat pocket behind you. I think Liz keeps one there."
Max fumbled around and found it and handed it over. Lucky began sketching a layout of Windermere as best as he could.
"There are a lot of rooms. I'm not sure where he'd take her, so it might be better for us to split up."
Jason looked at Max in the rearview mirror. "Lucky, you'll stay with me and Max will take the map."
They pulled up to the docks and boarded the launch. The fog blankets everything in sight, but Lucky assures them that he can get them there safely.
"Max, if you find her first, just call me. Don't touch her okay. I don't know what kind of shape she'll be in."
Max grimaced. "Okay, boss. I already called Johnny and Francis and they are on their way."
"Good, we need all the help we can get."

Tom practically salivated as he leered at Elizabeth. There's a little over an hour left before he hears from Helena. The problem is that he doesn't think he'll be able to help himself, not when she's just laying there enticing him. She was all he dreamed about while he was in jail. His days and nights were all Elizabeth and everything about her consumed him. It's hard to fight the pull he feels in her presence.
Her gaze is locked on him. There is no way to prepare for what he is about to do, so she decides that her only choice is to check out. She can't fight since she's tied down and Tom is the type that likes a struggle. As the reality of the situation overwhelms her, her eyes flutter shut as she thinks about the island and Jason. When she allowed herself to come back to the present, she opened them again and pretended that she is in Jason's arms. No one could hurt her there, she thought as her eyes glazed over.
Tom, who is closely observing her abruptly stood and ran over to her and grabbed her face. "What are you doing? Come back to me," he said shaking her. "No!"
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
The launch finally arrived at the island and the men jumped out. Jason followed Lucky up to the house and hopes that there are no traps. Due to the thickness of the fog, it's hard to make out everything, but then Lucky notices a light on in the far corner of the second floor and pointed it out.
They quickly moved up to the house and took out a few guards. Lucky grabbed one of their guns and then they split up and Jason followed him upstairs.
One of Helena's men jumped out and Jason shot him dead. They were soon under fire and Lucky and Jason traded shots with four other men as bullets flew everywhere.
Helena observed on the monitors. "Damn him!" She called Tom. "She's yours."
Tom smiled and hung up, tossing the phone to the side and then focusing on a pair of scissors.
"It's time my love."
Liz didn't move as he methodically cut her pants and ripped them off from underneath her. "I prefer you in red."
When he still doesn't get a reaction, his anger starts to grow and he snipped her shirt as the sound of gunfire moves closer. Fearing that he will be interrupted, he stops and barricades the door before it's too late.
"Now, where were we? I need you here with me, Elizabeth," he said before shaking her head.
He shook her harder. "Snap out of it!"
Changing tactics, he began to touch her leg and said, "Jason is dead. You are mine now."
That reached her on some level and she started screaming at the top of her lungs.
Jason heard it and motioned for Lucky to move forward. Someone popped out of a room and the bullet grazed Lucky.
"Fuck," Lucky said grimacing.
Jason shot the man and eyed the wound. "You okay?"
"I'll live. Let's go."
Jason took the lead and made it to the room in record time. He did everything he could to open the door as the sound of Liz's screaming broke his heart.
"Lucky, is there another way in?"
"Maybe, follow me."
They went to the next room and Lucky led him to the window. When they looked out, they could see Johnny down below.
Jason pushed the window up and yelled, "Johnny, cover me."
Johnny nodded and then pointed to the next room over before firing his gun. Jason climbed onto the ledge and slowly eased his way towards the little balcony outside of the room Liz is in. "I'm coming, baby."

Something inside Liz had snapped. When she felt him touching her she just lost it and start to buck and twist, but she just can't get enough leverage to do any damage.
Tom smiled with glee. "I like it when you fight. It's so hot."
"Fuck you," she said before spitting in his face.
He slapped her, making her head fly back and then whimpered softly. "Don't make me hurt you. I will if I have to."
She could hear him unbuckling his belt. "Please don't hurt me," she said sobbing. "I can't do this again."
"You belong to me, little Lizzie."
Tom dropped his pants and moved towards the bed. "You have way too many clothes on."
She squeezed her eyes shut and then kept repeating the words that Jason is dead over and over in her head.
All of a sudden, Jason crashed through the window sending glass everywhere and Tom just stood there in awe as he tracked the enforcer's gun rise. Without hesitation, Jason shot Tom in the crotch twice and watched him go down.
After glancing at Liz, his eyes filled with tears. A bruise is already forming on her face and her eyes are squeezed shut.
Tom moaned on the floor. "She's mine."
Jason ignored him. "Baby, it's Jason. I'm here."
Liz whimpered and started screaming again. "Don't touch me. Please—I'm begging you. Please don't rape me again."
Her words stung him to his core, making him suck in a deep breath before slowly moving towards the bed. He grabbed the scissors and cut her legs free and then stepped back as she thrashed and kicked.
"Elizabeth," Jason said hoarsely. "Open your eyes, baby. I'm right here."
"No, no, you're not real. Jason is dead."
"Please, Liz, I'm begging you. Open your eyes."
When he cut her hands free and stepped back from the bed, she got on her hands and knees and crawled to the other end of the bed and pushed herself against the wall.
Tom moaned again, making her eyes snap open as she screamed loudly.
Jason aimed the gun at Tom's mouth and fired. He is having a hard time keeping it together and can't listen to another sound coming out of that asshole's mouth.
"He can't hurt you, baby. He's dead."
She begins to sob. "Shut up! You're not real," she screamed as she put her hands over her ears.
