Chapter Twenty-Eight
"I only wanted to have a little fun and you had to ruin it!"
It hit her like a ton of bricks. She closed her eyes as she felt the wind being knocked out of her. He was the man who attacked her that night. He was the man who haunted her. Her eyes opened, but they were now filled with fear. "You!" she exclaimed.
He smiled with that toothy grin that haunted her dreams. "So, you are smarter than you look." She didn't even have the strength to dignify that with a sarcastic response. She felt drained of all emotion and will as she stared into his eyes. "Now, it's time for what I deserve." His hand found its way to her waist, which he roughly grasped at, making her elicit a loud groan of pain.
The inhabitants in the van remained quiet through Danni's revelation. The feed was choppy, but they could still understand most of what was going on. If only the video feed still worked, they could see what was going on, though a few of them weren't sure they wanted to know. It sounded like Danni was struggling to keep her composure. Her voice sounded different; it was now visibly full of fear.
Bobby's head was hanging as he struggled to listen. He wanted to go in, now, but Jack wouldn't allow it. His heart raced as thoughts of what might be happening in there ran through his mind. Danni was strong, but who long would that last?
The answer came sooner than expected as a muffled sob reached their ears. Bobby's head jerked to attention as he heard her whimper with terror.
"Please, don't," she begged.
The air rushed out of Bobby's lungs as he heard that. He couldn't take this. She needed his help. "That's it! I can't listen to this anymore!"
"Bobby, calm down," Jack ordered.
"No. I have to help her… I love her, Jack." He was startled by his own words. He didn't know what made him say it; he just knew it needed to be said. "I love her." His eyes were focused on his friend's as he stared him down. "I can either go in on my own or you can get off your high horse and help me."
Jack was taken aback by his Bobby's words. He hadn't expected such an outburst, but he should have. He knew Bobby was in love with Danni even before it was declared. This was serious. If Bobby went in alone, Danni might be killed. If the whole team went in, they would lose Jessup for sure. There was much to take in account for, but he knew what the right thing to do was. "All right," he said with a nod.
His hand glided higher as his fingernails dug into her skin. Her blouse was already un-tucked from her pants and a few buttons were already gone. He saw the pain in her face, but didn't take offense to it. He wanted to hurt her. He wanted her to suffer as much as he had.
His palm slid up her stomach and ran in between her breasts. She cringed at his touch and tired to fight, but her body wouldn't cooperate. It was too petrified to fight back.
"What's the matter, Danni? That no-good FBI agent does it for you, but I don't?" He asked menacingly. He had accented her nickname as a tease for her, but she didn't really appreciate it coming from his mouth. She didn't answer; she couldn't. He only chuckled and continued with the assault on her body, until he heard the loud click of a gun being cocked. He looked up to see Bobby's shocked face. Jessup wondered how it felt for him to see his girl lying down on a table and another man standing over her. "Well, look who it is. I have to say I'm surprised you had the guts." He didn't move from his spot between Danni's legs, he only held the gun tighter against her flesh.
"Let her go, Jessup!" Bobby took a step forward, but heard Jessup cock his gun into place.
"One more inch, Manning, and I will pull the trigger. It's up to you if she lives or dies."
Bobby looked into Danni's eyes. He had only seen fear like that in them when she told her story. She was truly terrified of Jessup. "Bobby," was all she could get out before the barrel of the gun pushed even more into her skin.
"Shut up," threatened the madman. "I will kill you if I have to."
"The building is surrounded, Jessup. If you kill her, there will be no escape," Bobby informed, though he didn't know how he did it. There was a large lump in his throat and his mouth was dry. He hated to see the fear in Danni's eyes.
Unfortunately, his warning fell on deaf ears. Jessup only switched his hands on the gun. He wanted Bobby to watch as he girlfriend was tortured right before his eyes.
Tears blinded Danni as she tried to focus on Bobby. He glanced at her for only a second before he turned his attention back to the psycho in front of him. She wanted to run as his rough hand rested once again upon her hips, but it hadn't stayed there for long. He explored her buttocks and thighs as much as he could with one hand. She saw his evil grin as his eyes bored into Bobby's.
The white-hot anger in Bobby's face was unmistakable. He was furious at Jessup for doing this to Danni, at Danni for putting herself in this situation in the first place, and himself for not rushing in when he wanted to. "Get your hands off of her!" The Aussie was shaking with anger as Jessup reached for the zipper on her slacks.
Bobby's words were ignored yet again as Jessup's hands found their way to the fastener. "She's such a beauty, isn't she? She's hardly changed in seven years; maybe a little more experienced, but I like that in my women." He was seriously pressing his luck with that comment. But, he did it for a reason. He wanted to see how far he could push Bobby before he was sent over the edge.
The Aussie's eyes closed and he took a deep breath before he opened them again. They focused upon Danni's and stared deep. It was like he was trying to send her a message without speaking. He would try to sign, but the rogue officer would only get suspicious. She knew what he was thinking. She couldn't let herself become the victim. Not after she worked so hard to become the woman she was.
He took a step forward, his weapon still held high. He wanted to tear Jessup limb from limb and he would if he had gotten the chance. The weapon the madman held was removed from Danni's neck and aimed at Bobby. Without hesitation, it was fired and Bobby was sent crashing to the ground.
Danni's eyes went wide in shock at the sight of him falling down. She wanted to cry out and crumble to pieces, but that was not what Bobby would want. This was her opportunity. With a good kick, Jessup was clutching himself in pain but he didn't fall. He staggered a few feet away and aimed his gun at her. A shot was fired, but Jessup was the one to fall.
She looked up at an abandoned balcony—it had been used as a dance floor, when the building was a dance club—to see Jack standing there, his sniper rifle in hand and his brown eyes peering down to make sure Jessup wasn't going to get up. His eyes turned to Bobby who was still lying on the floor as well.
She rushed over to him to find him trying hard to breathe as he clutched his chest. His eyes were closed in pain and he bit his lower lip to transfer it somewhere else.
"Bobby?" She asked, worry clear in her eyes. His blue orbs opened and shifted to look at her. He didn't say anything as he used all of his energy to ignore the pain. "Are you okay?"
He nodded. "The vest took it," he cringed as he spoke. It hurt too much to breathe and speaking wasn't that much simpler. "Are you okay?" He raised his hand to rest upon her cheek as he looked into her eyes.
She nodded, but her strong façade faded in an instant as the tears freely flowed from her eyes. She clutched to him for comfort as she sobbed into his chest. "I am so sorry I dragged you into this."
He gently wrapped his arms around her as he sat up and tried to console her.
