It is my 30 week appointment and off course Jane is her with me. When the exam is done and the doctor has told me everything looks good I go home. When I get there, I find a man standing in my apartment. I don't know him and his face is coved with a black mask He is just in front of the door. I see a look in his eyes and I can't even reach for my gun by the time he has one to my head. I know I need to do something.
"Gun." He demands. I slowly take my gun out of my holster.
"You don't want to do this." I say as I hand him my gun we do the same thing with my phone. I am calm and collected on the outside. All I can think is what about my girls.
"I heard you were pregnant I did not believe it. But here you are." I am panicking but I don't show it. "Now get down the stairs." He takes me down to the parking lot. He forces me into the back of a van. I am just going through the motions. I do as he says but I am scared. He tapes my hands. I am blindfolded but in my head I am trying my best I can feel the van move left, right, right, left ,right, left. I try and count how long in between each turn. I lose track of the turns and the numbers. But I keep counting.
We drive for what feels like hours. Then we stop and he forces me out of the van it is a black van I try to get a plate. I get a bit of one. (A34V7-) is a California plate. He takes me in to a barn it is old still has bits of red paint on it. He forces me into the barn, he takes me into the barn. It is empty with a single pole that is holding up the roof. It is made of metal and has a chain attached to it. It is rusty but solid. He chains me up. I am fully chained up he looks at me not taking his mask of. I don't cry I don't say anything. "I have been waiting for this" he says his voice is raspy and weak. "I have been following you for a long time." I shiver. Then he gets up and I look at him as he walks out leaving me. I am on the floor. I can't do anything I can't move. I am tired and I know that I need to make a plan. I am sitting and before I can come up with any kind of plan I am asleep. I
I wake up and I feel the baby's moving around. I am hungry. I look around again and then I see the man is back. He is sitting in the shadows. He is just sitting there looking at me. "What do you want?" I finally ask him. He does not say anything just walks out. What feels like hours goes by, I am slowly coming up with what feels like a bit of a plan. I look around the room again and again hoping for something I can use to get out of these chains. He comes back in. He has a knife in his hand. It shines as he walks towards me. I instinctively cover my mid-section doing my best to some what cover my bump. He walks towards me and I feel my heartbeat getting stronger. He reaches out and takes my arm. I am thinking of what Jane might say. "You don't want to hurt me. This is not going to do anything good. I am a cop. I am going to be found. You hurt or kill me and they will find you." He is getting closer and before I know it the knife is to my neck. I feel it as he pulls it back and forth against my neck. I close my eyes as he slowly slices open the skin on my neck. He gets a centimeter deep before he stops and walks out of the barn.
I go into fight or flight mode. I clamp my hand to my neck. I push down trying to stop the bleeding. There is blood everywhere my hand is red everything is red. There is a piercing pain in my neck. I crain my neck down as I rip the fabric of my pants. I tie it around my neck so I can use my hands. I then stand and see it. There is a nail in the floor board where I was sitting I pick at it until it come loose. I sit there using it to pick at my hand cuffs. I have blood all over me and I worry that I am going to die. The cuffs give in and I am picking at the clamps on my feet until like the hand cuffs they give in. I stand up and slowly walk out the barn hand clamped to my next praying that I have not lost to much blood. I leave the barn and the van is gone. I listen looking around for a road. Then I hear a honk and I head towards it. I make it to the road and I don't recognize it. I start trying to wave down cars until one stops. They roll down there window and I beg to use there phone they hand it to me and I call 911. I state that I am a agent. I tell them to track this phone because I don't know where I am. I then hang up knowing that I need more help from the woman. I ask her for a first aid kit and she tells me she does not and then I hear the sirens. I feel all of the strength I have leaving my legs and then it all goes black.
I wake up and find myself in a hospital bed. I look and see Jane sitting there. I smile when I see his face. I though would never see it again. He looks at me and his face lights up when he sees I am awake. I ask what I have needed to know since he first cut me. "Are the baby's ok?" He nods.
"Yes. You had mild blood loss and the doctors have sown up your neck. Who ever did this did not cut anything other then skin and you will probably not even scar. You scared me." We then talk for a bit about nothing at all. I sleep and before I know it they have let me out of the hospital. I go right to the CBI. After a series of hugs and pleasantries. We get to work. I tell them everything I can relaying everything I remember. Before I know it we have a name. I stay back. They bring the guy in and decide to question him I walk in.
"Mathew Corwick. You have quite the history don't you." I lay down all of his past charges and then ask the question need to know. I ask him why. He then tells me like it was a story he was telling to a little kid. I sit and listen as he tells me that I was the one who put his brother in jail. We lock him up and I sit on the couch in my office and Jane sits next to me.
"I missed you" I say when once again we get called to another case.
