Chapter 161
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta parked her car at Salem place, got out, and then walked to one of her now favorite stores, at least for the time being. One of the maternity stores in the mall. Now in her fourth month, things just weren't fitting her anymore, but she wasn't complaining, it was a reason for her to shop. Her hand instinctively rubbed her stomach at the thought, she had gotten a little bigger, but not too bad.
Eric was worried that she wasn't actually big enough. The doctor and her kept trying to tell him, she was fine, and perfect for the month that she was in. But he kept telling her about the pictures of his mom during the same time, and Greta kept trying to remind him, that his mom was having twins, not just one! She smiled at the thought, Eric was just wonderful right now. She could tell how much he wanted to be a dad, and she knew he was going to be a great one. Heck, he had some wonderful role models in his life. The smile stayed on her face as she walked into the store.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric sighed as he got off the elevator, he didn't want to be at work on Saturday, but someone had messed up some of the photo's he had done in the last shoot, and he needed to look at them and see what could be salvaged or if they needed to reschedule the shoot and everyone in it for monday.
He was looking through the photo's when the door opened. "Hey, what are you doing here on Saturday?" Lucas asked him, as he laid a couple folders in the file folder at the back desk.
Eric smiled, "I could ask you the same thing."
"My job is never done." He said walking over.
"Well, someone messed up the photo's and I need to see if there is anything worth keeping and.."
"Whether to redo the whole thing."
"Exactly." Eric said looking and sighing as he looked at another completely exposed negative. "Who do we have processing these photo's again?"
"Might be somebody new, if this happens again."
Eric was about to agree when his cell phone rang. He took it out of his coat, and answered it, "Eric Brady." He smiled at the voice on the other end, "Hi dad, how are y..." But he was interrupted by Roman before he could go on. "What do you mean where is Greta?" Eric asked with a worried look on his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta put the bags in the trunk and shut it, "Now where?" she asked herself. She wasn't ready to go home yet. She had already bought out the maternity store, went to the baby store and couldn't help but buy a few stuffed animals and a beautiful baby blanket. "I'll find something for Eric," She thought and went towards one of his favorite stores.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dad, dad, what, what are you talking about?"
{{Where is Greta? Is she with you? I've been trying her cell phone, and your home phone.}}
"No, she's not with me, she went out for the day, I'm not sure where, and I had to come into work. Why? What's going on?"
A loud sigh came over the phone. {{Do you know where she might be?}}
"DAD, what is going ON!" Eric yelled into the phone, he could tell something was wrong.
Lucas looked at him worried, and waited as well trying to figure out what was happening.
{{Daniel was being transferred to the State Prison and escaped this afternoon, they haven't found him.}}
Panic ran though Eric, memories of breaking down Daniel's door and finding him trying to rape Greta
shot though his head. "Oh God." Eric said. "How long ago did he escape? Where was it?"
{{About three hours ago, just outside of Salem.}}
"What? And you just decided to tell me. There is some psycho out there, more than likely after my wife, and you just decided to tell me?"
{{Calm down, I've been trying to find her, I barely just found out myself. Now, do you know where she might be?}}
Eric felt like he couldn't breath, "She's not answering her phone?" He asked, knowing the answer because his dad had already said it, but the question was more of a statement as worry washed over him. "Salem Place, shops, I think she went shopping, maternity clothes." The words all came out at once. Eric could hear his dad barking orders to send the cops to Salem place to look for her.
{{I've sent people there to look for her, we also have road blocks set up into and out of town looking for him. But I really want to find her, and get the two of you to a safe place until we find him. Hopefully he has just tried to get away, but...}}
"But he's crazy." Eric looked around, "I've got to find her, call me when you find out ANYTHING." He said, and Roman agreed.
Lucas looked at him, "Daniel escaped." Eric nodded. "What can I do?"
Eric looked at him for a minute. "Call anyone you know, and see if they have seen Greta, try and get them to look for her. I'm going to Salem place and going to look for her."
"I'll try Mrs. H, Bo, Hope and everyone." Lucas said running out the door, he turned back to Eric, "If you find her, let me know."
"I will, and thanks." Eric said as they both rushed out the door, and Eric ran to the elevator. "Oh God, help me find her before he does.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta smiled as she put the bag of stuff she got for Eric in the trunk, and then opened her car door and sat down. She grabbed her keys and looked over at the passenger seat, shaking her head. "Well, I didn't loose it after all." She said reaching for the cell phone sitting there, but a hand grabbing her wrist stopped her, as another went over her mouth.
"Oh no you don't." Greta's eyes got wide as the voice registered in her head. "Oh, you didn't think I would be away from you that long did you? That I would let him keep you away from me, you know we belong together, and now, now we will be together." Daniel said with a crazy look in his eyes, he took his hand off her wrist and quickly grabbed the gun sitting next to him. "Now my lovely Greta, you will not scream, and you will start this car, and you will drive us out of this horrible town, and towards our new future, together."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 162
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta's eyes caught the shinny metal of the gun, and fear ran through her body.
He smiled at her, with a crazy look in his eyes, and spoke again. "Now I'm going to remove my hand from your mouth, and you will not scream. Do you understand?" He asked waving the gun at her.
She nodded her head yes.
"Good." He said and removed his hand. "Now start the car."
"Daniel, what are you.."
"I said START THE CAR!" He yelled at her.
Greta quickly took her key and put it in the ignition, and started the car.
"Now, back out of the parking spot, and turn right onto the main road."
She put her shaking hands on the wheel and did what he said, and soon they were out on the main road driving. He sat behind her, the gun flush up against her side.
She had no idea what to do. He mind was running a mile a minute. Did she dare try and go against him? Would he really shoot her? What was she thinking? He was crazy! She decided to just wait, and look for an opportunity. She just hoped she could find one as he continued to direct which roads to go on, and she knew that she had to find something soon, because they were in fact driving their way out of Salem. And the farther away she got, she knew the less chance she would have to get away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric got out of his Jeep, and looked around the main parking lot. He didn't see Greta's car anywhere. But that didn't mean she didn't park at one of the smaller lots, or the other side. He hurried towards Java Cafe, and found one of the regular waitresses that waited on him and Greta a lot.
"Hey, have you seen Greta by chance today?" He asked her.
She smiled at him, "Uh, yeah, about an hour or so ago. I think she got some tea and a muffin."
He smiled, "Do you know, possibly where she went?"
She shook her head, "No, but it did look like she was having fun, she commented that she had done a lot of shopping already."
"Okay, thanks." He told her and walked towards the other parking lot. *Well, at least she saw her about an hour ago. But where is she now?* He quickly checked the other parking lots, and didn't find her car either. He took out his cell phone on the way back to his jeep, and called the house. *No answer, but there are messages.* He thought as the answering machine picked up after only a couple rings.
He dialed in the code and played the messages, as he opened the Jeep's door and sat down. It was a message from his dad, telling Greta to go directly to the police station when she got the message.
He saved the message and left one, basically what his dad had said to her as well. He started the Jeep, and tried to figure out where to look next. He backed out of the spot and made it to the road, and turned left.
Eric decided to check some of the other little shops she liked on main street, and as he drove he took out his phone again. "Come on, just answer your cell phone." He said as he dialed her number.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta drove, and the buildings were all but gone, as trees started to line the road. They were starting to get out to the edge of Salem, and her hope was diminishing. Then she jumped, as her cell phone rang in the seat next to her. She looked over at the phone. "Don't even think about it." He told her.
Greta looked at him, and took a breath, *Here's my chance.* She thought, and spoke, as the phone rang again. "If I don't answer it, someone is going to think something is wrong, and they will look for me. If I answer it, and say everything is okay, it will give us more time." She could see him think about it, as the phone rang again.
"Okay, but, you say anything, ANYTHING..." and he shoved the gun into her side.
She nodded, she understood his meaning, and reached over for the phone, and turned it on. "Hello?" She said, as calmly as she could.
{{Greta!}} Eric's voice came through the phone. {{Thank GOD, I got a hold of you, you have to get to the police...}}
Greta cut him off quickly before he could go on. "Sami! Hi, how are you?"
{{Sami?}} Eric's voice asked.
"Sami, Sami, slow down. What's wrong? What happened between you and Austin?" She said looking at Daniel, trying to look completely innocent, as to having a conversation with her Sister-In-Law.
{{Daniel's with you.}} Eric said, and she could hear the dread and fear in that simple statement.
"Yes." She said simply.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 163
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric's mind reeled, Daniel is with her!* He tried not to panic, Greta was obviously trying to not have Daniel know it was him on the phone. He decided to try and get as much information from her as possible, he pulled his Jeep to the side of the road. "Greta, try and tell me where you are."
{{Sami, I can't come over to talk right now, I'm driving home.}}
Eric sighed, so he was making her drive somewhere. "Where are you driving?" There was a pause on the other end, and Eric's stomach tightened, and then she spoke.
{{Maybe you should go on a trip together, it might help things out. What's your favorite place again?}} There was a pause, as if she was waiting for an answer, {{That's right Green Mountain, why not head there?}}
Eric, checked his mirrors and spun out onto the road, heading towards Green Mountain Lodge. "You are going in the direction of Green Mountain?"
{{Yeah, yeah.}} Was her response, and he started to speed through town, he didn't care if he got pulled over, heck he was hoping he would.
"Do you know where you are going?"
{{Not at all.}} There was a pause, {{I know Sami, I know you are scared things are going bad, but it will be okay.}} Eric heard the words, and didn't know if she was saying them for his or her own benefit.
"Does he have a weapon?"
{{Uh, huh.}}
"A gun?"
{{Yep.}} Came the almost chipper voice, he couldn't believe how well she was masking the phone conversation.
"My dad has road blocks going out of Salem, I take it you haven't reached one yet."
{{Nope.}}
"What do you think he will do when you reach one?" There was another long pause, and fear washed through him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta glanced over a Daniel, and he was giving her the look, that it was time to hang up or else. She tried to give him the look, that she was trying, and that Sami was just yacking up a storm, but it wasn't working, and he poked her in the ribs with the gun.
"I don't know, I really don't and I'm afraid, I really need to get going."
{{He's making you get off the phone.}}
"Yes, I have to go now. Tell Will that his Aunt loves him." She hated to say it like, that but she knew Eric understood that was for him. She was scared she might not get to tell him that again.
{{I love you too.}} He said.
"Bye." She said and hung up the phone, and turned to Daniel with a sigh, "I'm sorry, she was really upset."
Daniel looked at her, "Just keep driving." He told her and took the phone away from her, and turned it off. "There, no more interruptions."
Greta sighed inwardly, maybe the road block ahead would help, maybe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric heard the phone hang up, and he paused for a minute, and then called his dad. The phone rang a few times, and then answered, {{Roman Brady.}}
"Dad, I talked to Greta."
{{Great! Where is she?}}
"No, not great. Daniel has her, and they are driving out of town, towards Green Mountain right now. They haven't made it to any road blocks yet, but it has to be soon, that is if you have one that way."
{{Wait, if all that is true how did you talk to her?}}
"He must have let her answer her phone to stop suspicion or something, when I started talking, she called me Sami, and asked how me, I mean Sami and Austin were."
{{Austin? Sami and Brandon...}}
"Dad! She was tipping me off. Anyway... Green Mountain..."
{{Yes, we have a block that way. Did you get any more information?}}
"Yeah, Dad, he has a gun, and I could hear how afraid she was. And she didn't know what he would do when they did get to the block."
{{It may be a good idea to let them go through it, and then follow them}} Eric could hear some commotion and his father telling people some things. He then came back on the phone. {{Okay, I have them letting Greta and him through, and then they will follow them in a couple unmarked cars. I just don't like the idea of a hostage situation in a car. I would rather get them out in a bigger area. Now where are you?}}
"I'm driving towards Green Mountain."
{{Eric, let us handle this, we don't need another person involved.}}
"I already am involved. Call me with news." Eric said as he hung up, and pushed the accelerator a little more. "I have to find her, find her before it's to late." He said out loud as the odometer kept going up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where are we going?" Greta asked as she continued driving.
"Somewhere, were no one will look, and no one will bother us. At least for awhile."
"And that place is?"
"You'll see. I think you will like it."
The smile on his face completely unnerved her, and she felt the butterflies in her stomach. She almost rubbed it with her hand, and then stopped herself mentally before she did. *Does he know I'm pregnant?* She asked herself. I mean, she did have a bulge, but he might not have noticed, he might not know. *If he doesn't know, that might give me an advantage.* She thought, and willed herself not to give it away. Then her eyes caught something up ahead. Colored lights. "What's that?" She asked in a curious voice, already knowing the answer.
She saw him peer out over the street. "Pull over for a minute." She pulled over to the side of the street. "Road block, I guess they are looking for me." He thought for a minute. He took the blanket he had before, and sat down on the floor. "Okay, remember sweetheart, I have a gun. Bullets can go through the seat you are sitting in. If I hear anything or see anything that gives me away, I won't hesitate to shoot. Do you understand me?"
"Yes." She said.
"Good, now drive." He said as he got down, and covered himself up with the blanket. She could feel a slight gab into the back of the seat, showing her he was serious."
She moved the car back out onto the road and started to drive up to the road block. *Here's my chance, let's see how this goes.* She thought as her car approached the two cop cars sitting in the middle of the road up ahead of her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 164
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta stopped at the roadblock and took a deep breath reminding herself to stay calm. She rolled down the window as the policeman walked over to the car. She smiled at him; she had seen him a few times before when she had visited Roman at the police station. She also knew he knew who she was. He didn't smile at her, which made Greta a little uneasy.
"Hello Ma'am," He said to her.
*Ma'am?* She thought to herself, *He knows my name.* But she decided to play along. "Hello officer, what's going on?"
He looked around the car, and she could tell he saw the lump under the blanket in the back, but he refocused on her. "Well, I don't mean to cause you any worry, but a prisoner escaped and we are looking for him." He held up a picture of Daniel. "Have you seen this man by any chance?"
She looked at the picture, moved her eyes up and down saying yes, but her mouth said, "No, never saw him before."
The officer nodded in understanding, "That's alright, just take it easy. And don't worry Ma'am, we will catch him." He said lightly patting her on the arm, and then he moved away from the car, and moving the roadblock for her to go through.
Greta then understood, they were letting her go through. And she rolled up the window and moved the car on down the road. She took at deep breath, and then noticed out of the rear view window a navy car pull through the roadblock as well, and then a gold one, neither one having stopped at the block. And the officer never did replace the roadblock. *Well they don't need it anymore.* She thought to herself. Greta now knew that Eric had gotten hold of his dad, and they were planning something. She just had to stay calm for them to do whatever it was that they were going to do.
She continued to drive, and then Daniel spoke, "Good job." He said uncovering himself, and moving to sit back up in the backseat.
"Were are we going?" She asked him.
"You will find out when we get there. Just keep driving I'll tell you where to turn."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta only slightly looked in her rearview mirror. The cars were still there, but they were keeping their distance. She had a feeling that they were going to just follow them until they stopped somewhere. She tried to calm herself, and think of someway that she could get him to stop the car as soon as possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric's foot pressed a little bit more on the gas petal, he had just went past the spot were they were cleaning up from the road block. His father had called and told him that Greta had gone through, and that they were now following her.
He was worried, he just knew he had to get to her. He had to help her, he had a bad feeling about all this and the longer it was taking to get her away from Daniel the more worried he got. "I just can't lose her." He thought to himself as he kept driving, as the sun started setting and sky was getting dark.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta turned her lights on as it was starting to get dark out, she looked down at her gas gage, *Why did I have to fill up the car this morning?* She asked herself, wishing that if she hadn't they would have had to stop a lot sooner. She looked slightly in the mirror again for just a second, they were still there, but they kept switching off cars, so it wouldn't be the same one behind them all the time. She looked over at Daniel, he had crawled over the seat and was now sitting in the passenger seat next to her. He was starting to look a little antsy. Then his voice made her jump.
"Turn right, now!" She basically slammed on the brakes and turned the car. Her heart pumping fast, as his hands also went on the wheel. "Now drive straight, and keep going."
They were now on a dirt road, "Why couldn't you tell me before that? I could have slowed down? Are you trying to kill us?" She said in a loud voice, and immediately stopped when he held up the gun.
"I think you had just better do what I say? Now speed up, I want to get there faster." She speed up a little, "Faster!" He yelled at her. She sighed, she was now going almost 60 on a dirt road in the back woods. The road was barely wide enough for her car to go down, let alone if someone else was coming the other way. And there would be know way for the cars to follow her closely without Daniel knowing they were following him. Her heart sank. She had a bad feeling that they were actually getting away from the police. She kept driving, and after about three miles she saw something in the distance, she couldn't make out exactly what it was, but she had a feeling that she was getting to wherever it was that they were heading too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric was driving, it was totally dark out now, his foot slowly came off the gas as he saw lights up ahead in the middle of the road and his stomach tightened. The red and blue lights told him something was going on, and he was worried it wasn't good. An officer waved him to go around, but he pulled off to the side, and parked his jeep. An officer was walking over, trying to tell him to leave. But once he recognized him, he waved him over. Eric looked around and saw his dad talking to some other officers.
He walked over to them, "Dad, what's going on?"
Roman looked at his son, "Well, they turned down this road, and we couldn't exactly follow them, without letting him know we were. It's a little trail, luckily, as far as we can tell, there is no other way out. We have some officers going in by foot, making a slow sweep trying to find out where they went."
Eric looked at him, "So you lost them!"
"No, they are in there, we just have to take this with some care, the last thing we want is a stand off Eric."
He looked towards the woods, a shiver running up his spine. He could only imagine what Greta was thinking, or worse, what Daniel may be doing to her. "Dad, the longer this takes…"
"I know Eric, we are doing what we can."
"Yeah, whatever." He said angrily and walked back towards his jeep and hit his hands on the hood of it in frustration. He opened the door, and looked in the backseat, grabbed the flashlight he had in there, shut the door, looked at the police again, then at the woods, then back to the officers. In one less then a second, he made his decision.
Roman caught a glimpse of something, saw someone running into the woods. He looked around, Eric was nowhere to be seen. "Dammit, Eric!" He yelled. But Eric never looked back, he wasn't going to wait for Salem's finest to rescue her, because he knew if they did it would be to late.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 165
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Slow down the car," Daniel said from beside her, and she took her foot off the gas. Greta saw the cabin up ahead, and knew they had arrived at their final destination, at least for the night. Her heartbeat sped up, she knew the police were not right behind them, and hopefully they hadn't lost them, but she was worried about what might happen until they got there. "Okay, park the car." He told her as she got up to the building. She stopped the car, and put the brake on, just outside the door. He got out of the car, and told her to get out as well, pointing the gun at her the whole time. He motioned for her to move to the door, and she made it with just enough light from the stars showing above.
He opened the door and shoved her inside. He grabbed a flashlight that was near the door and turned it on. Daniel grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to a chair by the fireplace, "Sit down, and stay there." He told her and moved over to the fireplace, and started to place the wood to make a fire.
Greta sat in the chair looking around. "Where are we?"
He looked up and smiled at her, it made her spine shiver. "Isn't it great? It's my great-uncle's cabin, my father, brothers, and I used to come her to go hunting when I was younger." He then looked down at the gun, "I got a few nice trophies from those times, so I wouldn't try anything. I happen to be a very good shot."
Greta closed her eyes and swallowed, then opened them again. Soon the fire was started and it lit up part of the room. He then moved and lighted a few oil lamps making the room light up. "There, much better."
She looked at him, "Daniel, what is it that you want?"
He looked at her with a huge smile, "Isn't it obvious? You."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric ran, he just kept running, he could just barely make out the road a couple hundred feet to his left. The stars barely gave him enough light to see to dodge hitting the trees, but he didn't dare use the flashlight. He didn't want anyone to know where he was.
He had a sick feeling in his stomach, and he knew it wasn't from his running, he knew he had to get to Greta, before something horrible happened. The police were worried about getting Greta back alive, and they were taking their time and preparing to do just that. That was all well and good. But Eric was much more worried about what Daniel was going to do Greta, or the baby. He had a feeling he wouldn't kill Greta, unless she did something to make him do so.
So he just couldn't sit by and let it happen, he knew somehow Daniel had to be stopped, so he kept running.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Me?" She asked, her voice a little shaky.
"Yes, I want you." He said walking back over to her, "I want what was taken away from me, taken by him." He said with a sneer, as he grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. Showing her the ring on her finger. "What? Didn't think I knew that you married that Bastard?"
She tried to respond, but he pulled her towards the center of the room as he continued to talk. "You did announce your wedding and engagement in the paper, we do get the paper in jail after all. But I don't know what you see in him, we look so much better together." He told her as he took out his wallet, and handed her a piece of paper.
Greta looked at it, and almost dropped it when she saw it. There was her engagement picture from the paper, with Daniels head taped over Eric's. He took it back from her, "Just the way it should be." He told her and laid it down on the table. "A few days here, and then when they stop looking around here, we'll move on. Out of this state, and on with our lives, together."
*He's absolutely crazy.* She thought to herself.
He pulled her close to him, and he looked down at her, he brought his one hand up to the side of her face, the other one still gripping the gun. He then kissed her, she tried to pull away, but the feel of the cold metal at her side, stopped her instantly. And she willed her stomach not to get sick. She tried to put her mind out of the situation, and not think about his lips on hers or his hand caressing her cheek and hair. *How do I get out of this?* She thought to herself.
She cringed slightly as his mouth then started to make its way down her neck. Greta knew struggling wasn't an option, there was nowhere to run, especially while he still had that gun. She also knew there was no reasoning with him, he was completely out of his mind. But maybe, just maybe, she could turn the tables on him.
Greta let out a soft moan, and then another. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but knew it was the only way. Daniel looked up into her eyes, and she looked at him and gave him a soft smile. "Why did you stop?" She asked him seductively.
He smiled wider and pulled her closer, and started to nip at her ear lobe, she let out a soft sigh, and moved her hands around him, and up over his shoulders. She closed her eyes, *Oh God, forgive me.* she thought and then leaned in and gave a small kiss to the side of his neck as well, and then another. She heard a groan from him, and being pressed up next to him she knew he was getting turned on. She leaned up to his ear, "Use both hands, please." She said to him. And then she bit at his ear lobe as well to try and make her point as she ran her hands down his back.
Daniel pulled away slightly and looked at her. His grin a cross between seductive and insane. He put the gun down on the table, and then grabbed onto her sides and pulled her towards the bed on the other side of the room. They were there in seconds and she was already pushed back onto it before she knew what was happening. She started to panic, but then tried to calm down. *At least he doesn't have the gun anymore.* She tried to tell herself that was at least good. But soon he was on top of her, and trying to unbutton her top. *Time,* she thought, *I just need to waste time.*
Her hands went to her shirt, "Daniel, slow down. We have all the time in the world now." She told him with a smile, trying to sound genuine. "Let's make this special." She hoped he would listen to her.
He looked at her, another grin spreading across his face, "Women, they always want to take things slow. Why is that? They just want to torture us. When they want to go just as fast as men do." He started to rip at the buttons.
"Daniel, please." She begged at him, she was getting worried, soon her blouse would be completely open, and then there was no more hiding, he would know she was pregnant. And she had a feeling that he didn't know. But as the last button sprang across the room, and she looked up into his eyes, she could see the realization run over them.
His hand came down and touched her swollen belly. His eyes came up to hers, "You're carrying HIS child?" She didn't answer. "Aren't YOU?" He screamed at her. She began to visibly start to shake, she didn't know what to do, and the rage in his eyes was becoming greater.
"We can't have this!" He yelled standing up and starting to pace beside the bed. Greta looked at him, and at the gun setting on the table on the other side of the room. "How can we start a life together, with HIS baby inside of you? Huh? How can we do that? We can't!" He yelled still pacing.
She watched him pace, and tried to think of how she could get over there fast enough, but she knew that she couldn't. "Daniel, it's not my fault. He wanted it, he did it to me." She said trying to think of something to say, so that he wouldn't blame her.
He pulled her to him, and hugged her to his side. "I know, it's okay. You are away from him now. We will fix this, don't worry about it." He told her. "I'll just fix this little problem, and then you will be all mine." He told her, and smiled.
"How?" She asked, almost too worried to get the answer.
His eyes clouded with rage again, his pulling her wrist, so that she was on her feet and then he pushed her to the floor. She landed with a large thud on her side. "We just have to get it out of you." He said and Greta screamed as he moved towards her…..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 161
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta parked her car at Salem place, got out, and then walked to one of her now favorite stores, at least for the time being. One of the maternity stores in the mall. Now in her fourth month, things just weren't fitting her anymore, but she wasn't complaining, it was a reason for her to shop. Her hand instinctively rubbed her stomach at the thought, she had gotten a little bigger, but not too bad.
Eric was worried that she wasn't actually big enough. The doctor and her kept trying to tell him, she was fine, and perfect for the month that she was in. But he kept telling her about the pictures of his mom during the same time, and Greta kept trying to remind him, that his mom was having twins, not just one! She smiled at the thought, Eric was just wonderful right now. She could tell how much he wanted to be a dad, and she knew he was going to be a great one. Heck, he had some wonderful role models in his life. The smile stayed on her face as she walked into the store.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric sighed as he got off the elevator, he didn't want to be at work on Saturday, but someone had messed up some of the photo's he had done in the last shoot, and he needed to look at them and see what could be salvaged or if they needed to reschedule the shoot and everyone in it for monday.
He was looking through the photo's when the door opened. "Hey, what are you doing here on Saturday?" Lucas asked him, as he laid a couple folders in the file folder at the back desk.
Eric smiled, "I could ask you the same thing."
"My job is never done." He said walking over.
"Well, someone messed up the photo's and I need to see if there is anything worth keeping and.."
"Whether to redo the whole thing."
"Exactly." Eric said looking and sighing as he looked at another completely exposed negative. "Who do we have processing these photo's again?"
"Might be somebody new, if this happens again."
Eric was about to agree when his cell phone rang. He took it out of his coat, and answered it, "Eric Brady." He smiled at the voice on the other end, "Hi dad, how are y..." But he was interrupted by Roman before he could go on. "What do you mean where is Greta?" Eric asked with a worried look on his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta put the bags in the trunk and shut it, "Now where?" she asked herself. She wasn't ready to go home yet. She had already bought out the maternity store, went to the baby store and couldn't help but buy a few stuffed animals and a beautiful baby blanket. "I'll find something for Eric," She thought and went towards one of his favorite stores.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dad, dad, what, what are you talking about?"
{{Where is Greta? Is she with you? I've been trying her cell phone, and your home phone.}}
"No, she's not with me, she went out for the day, I'm not sure where, and I had to come into work. Why? What's going on?"
A loud sigh came over the phone. {{Do you know where she might be?}}
"DAD, what is going ON!" Eric yelled into the phone, he could tell something was wrong.
Lucas looked at him worried, and waited as well trying to figure out what was happening.
{{Daniel was being transferred to the State Prison and escaped this afternoon, they haven't found him.}}
Panic ran though Eric, memories of breaking down Daniel's door and finding him trying to rape Greta
shot though his head. "Oh God." Eric said. "How long ago did he escape? Where was it?"
{{About three hours ago, just outside of Salem.}}
"What? And you just decided to tell me. There is some psycho out there, more than likely after my wife, and you just decided to tell me?"
{{Calm down, I've been trying to find her, I barely just found out myself. Now, do you know where she might be?}}
Eric felt like he couldn't breath, "She's not answering her phone?" He asked, knowing the answer because his dad had already said it, but the question was more of a statement as worry washed over him. "Salem Place, shops, I think she went shopping, maternity clothes." The words all came out at once. Eric could hear his dad barking orders to send the cops to Salem place to look for her.
{{I've sent people there to look for her, we also have road blocks set up into and out of town looking for him. But I really want to find her, and get the two of you to a safe place until we find him. Hopefully he has just tried to get away, but...}}
"But he's crazy." Eric looked around, "I've got to find her, call me when you find out ANYTHING." He said, and Roman agreed.
Lucas looked at him, "Daniel escaped." Eric nodded. "What can I do?"
Eric looked at him for a minute. "Call anyone you know, and see if they have seen Greta, try and get them to look for her. I'm going to Salem place and going to look for her."
"I'll try Mrs. H, Bo, Hope and everyone." Lucas said running out the door, he turned back to Eric, "If you find her, let me know."
"I will, and thanks." Eric said as they both rushed out the door, and Eric ran to the elevator. "Oh God, help me find her before he does.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta smiled as she put the bag of stuff she got for Eric in the trunk, and then opened her car door and sat down. She grabbed her keys and looked over at the passenger seat, shaking her head. "Well, I didn't loose it after all." She said reaching for the cell phone sitting there, but a hand grabbing her wrist stopped her, as another went over her mouth.
"Oh no you don't." Greta's eyes got wide as the voice registered in her head. "Oh, you didn't think I would be away from you that long did you? That I would let him keep you away from me, you know we belong together, and now, now we will be together." Daniel said with a crazy look in his eyes, he took his hand off her wrist and quickly grabbed the gun sitting next to him. "Now my lovely Greta, you will not scream, and you will start this car, and you will drive us out of this horrible town, and towards our new future, together."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 162
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta's eyes caught the shinny metal of the gun, and fear ran through her body.
He smiled at her, with a crazy look in his eyes, and spoke again. "Now I'm going to remove my hand from your mouth, and you will not scream. Do you understand?" He asked waving the gun at her.
She nodded her head yes.
"Good." He said and removed his hand. "Now start the car."
"Daniel, what are you.."
"I said START THE CAR!" He yelled at her.
Greta quickly took her key and put it in the ignition, and started the car.
"Now, back out of the parking spot, and turn right onto the main road."
She put her shaking hands on the wheel and did what he said, and soon they were out on the main road driving. He sat behind her, the gun flush up against her side.
She had no idea what to do. He mind was running a mile a minute. Did she dare try and go against him? Would he really shoot her? What was she thinking? He was crazy! She decided to just wait, and look for an opportunity. She just hoped she could find one as he continued to direct which roads to go on, and she knew that she had to find something soon, because they were in fact driving their way out of Salem. And the farther away she got, she knew the less chance she would have to get away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric got out of his Jeep, and looked around the main parking lot. He didn't see Greta's car anywhere. But that didn't mean she didn't park at one of the smaller lots, or the other side. He hurried towards Java Cafe, and found one of the regular waitresses that waited on him and Greta a lot.
"Hey, have you seen Greta by chance today?" He asked her.
She smiled at him, "Uh, yeah, about an hour or so ago. I think she got some tea and a muffin."
He smiled, "Do you know, possibly where she went?"
She shook her head, "No, but it did look like she was having fun, she commented that she had done a lot of shopping already."
"Okay, thanks." He told her and walked towards the other parking lot. *Well, at least she saw her about an hour ago. But where is she now?* He quickly checked the other parking lots, and didn't find her car either. He took out his cell phone on the way back to his jeep, and called the house. *No answer, but there are messages.* He thought as the answering machine picked up after only a couple rings.
He dialed in the code and played the messages, as he opened the Jeep's door and sat down. It was a message from his dad, telling Greta to go directly to the police station when she got the message.
He saved the message and left one, basically what his dad had said to her as well. He started the Jeep, and tried to figure out where to look next. He backed out of the spot and made it to the road, and turned left.
Eric decided to check some of the other little shops she liked on main street, and as he drove he took out his phone again. "Come on, just answer your cell phone." He said as he dialed her number.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta drove, and the buildings were all but gone, as trees started to line the road. They were starting to get out to the edge of Salem, and her hope was diminishing. Then she jumped, as her cell phone rang in the seat next to her. She looked over at the phone. "Don't even think about it." He told her.
Greta looked at him, and took a breath, *Here's my chance.* She thought, and spoke, as the phone rang again. "If I don't answer it, someone is going to think something is wrong, and they will look for me. If I answer it, and say everything is okay, it will give us more time." She could see him think about it, as the phone rang again.
"Okay, but, you say anything, ANYTHING..." and he shoved the gun into her side.
She nodded, she understood his meaning, and reached over for the phone, and turned it on. "Hello?" She said, as calmly as she could.
{{Greta!}} Eric's voice came through the phone. {{Thank GOD, I got a hold of you, you have to get to the police...}}
Greta cut him off quickly before he could go on. "Sami! Hi, how are you?"
{{Sami?}} Eric's voice asked.
"Sami, Sami, slow down. What's wrong? What happened between you and Austin?" She said looking at Daniel, trying to look completely innocent, as to having a conversation with her Sister-In-Law.
{{Daniel's with you.}} Eric said, and she could hear the dread and fear in that simple statement.
"Yes." She said simply.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 163
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric's mind reeled, Daniel is with her!* He tried not to panic, Greta was obviously trying to not have Daniel know it was him on the phone. He decided to try and get as much information from her as possible, he pulled his Jeep to the side of the road. "Greta, try and tell me where you are."
{{Sami, I can't come over to talk right now, I'm driving home.}}
Eric sighed, so he was making her drive somewhere. "Where are you driving?" There was a pause on the other end, and Eric's stomach tightened, and then she spoke.
{{Maybe you should go on a trip together, it might help things out. What's your favorite place again?}} There was a pause, as if she was waiting for an answer, {{That's right Green Mountain, why not head there?}}
Eric, checked his mirrors and spun out onto the road, heading towards Green Mountain Lodge. "You are going in the direction of Green Mountain?"
{{Yeah, yeah.}} Was her response, and he started to speed through town, he didn't care if he got pulled over, heck he was hoping he would.
"Do you know where you are going?"
{{Not at all.}} There was a pause, {{I know Sami, I know you are scared things are going bad, but it will be okay.}} Eric heard the words, and didn't know if she was saying them for his or her own benefit.
"Does he have a weapon?"
{{Uh, huh.}}
"A gun?"
{{Yep.}} Came the almost chipper voice, he couldn't believe how well she was masking the phone conversation.
"My dad has road blocks going out of Salem, I take it you haven't reached one yet."
{{Nope.}}
"What do you think he will do when you reach one?" There was another long pause, and fear washed through him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta glanced over a Daniel, and he was giving her the look, that it was time to hang up or else. She tried to give him the look, that she was trying, and that Sami was just yacking up a storm, but it wasn't working, and he poked her in the ribs with the gun.
"I don't know, I really don't and I'm afraid, I really need to get going."
{{He's making you get off the phone.}}
"Yes, I have to go now. Tell Will that his Aunt loves him." She hated to say it like, that but she knew Eric understood that was for him. She was scared she might not get to tell him that again.
{{I love you too.}} He said.
"Bye." She said and hung up the phone, and turned to Daniel with a sigh, "I'm sorry, she was really upset."
Daniel looked at her, "Just keep driving." He told her and took the phone away from her, and turned it off. "There, no more interruptions."
Greta sighed inwardly, maybe the road block ahead would help, maybe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric heard the phone hang up, and he paused for a minute, and then called his dad. The phone rang a few times, and then answered, {{Roman Brady.}}
"Dad, I talked to Greta."
{{Great! Where is she?}}
"No, not great. Daniel has her, and they are driving out of town, towards Green Mountain right now. They haven't made it to any road blocks yet, but it has to be soon, that is if you have one that way."
{{Wait, if all that is true how did you talk to her?}}
"He must have let her answer her phone to stop suspicion or something, when I started talking, she called me Sami, and asked how me, I mean Sami and Austin were."
{{Austin? Sami and Brandon...}}
"Dad! She was tipping me off. Anyway... Green Mountain..."
{{Yes, we have a block that way. Did you get any more information?}}
"Yeah, Dad, he has a gun, and I could hear how afraid she was. And she didn't know what he would do when they did get to the block."
{{It may be a good idea to let them go through it, and then follow them}} Eric could hear some commotion and his father telling people some things. He then came back on the phone. {{Okay, I have them letting Greta and him through, and then they will follow them in a couple unmarked cars. I just don't like the idea of a hostage situation in a car. I would rather get them out in a bigger area. Now where are you?}}
"I'm driving towards Green Mountain."
{{Eric, let us handle this, we don't need another person involved.}}
"I already am involved. Call me with news." Eric said as he hung up, and pushed the accelerator a little more. "I have to find her, find her before it's to late." He said out loud as the odometer kept going up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where are we going?" Greta asked as she continued driving.
"Somewhere, were no one will look, and no one will bother us. At least for awhile."
"And that place is?"
"You'll see. I think you will like it."
The smile on his face completely unnerved her, and she felt the butterflies in her stomach. She almost rubbed it with her hand, and then stopped herself mentally before she did. *Does he know I'm pregnant?* She asked herself. I mean, she did have a bulge, but he might not have noticed, he might not know. *If he doesn't know, that might give me an advantage.* She thought, and willed herself not to give it away. Then her eyes caught something up ahead. Colored lights. "What's that?" She asked in a curious voice, already knowing the answer.
She saw him peer out over the street. "Pull over for a minute." She pulled over to the side of the street. "Road block, I guess they are looking for me." He thought for a minute. He took the blanket he had before, and sat down on the floor. "Okay, remember sweetheart, I have a gun. Bullets can go through the seat you are sitting in. If I hear anything or see anything that gives me away, I won't hesitate to shoot. Do you understand me?"
"Yes." She said.
"Good, now drive." He said as he got down, and covered himself up with the blanket. She could feel a slight gab into the back of the seat, showing her he was serious."
She moved the car back out onto the road and started to drive up to the road block. *Here's my chance, let's see how this goes.* She thought as her car approached the two cop cars sitting in the middle of the road up ahead of her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 164
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta stopped at the roadblock and took a deep breath reminding herself to stay calm. She rolled down the window as the policeman walked over to the car. She smiled at him; she had seen him a few times before when she had visited Roman at the police station. She also knew he knew who she was. He didn't smile at her, which made Greta a little uneasy.
"Hello Ma'am," He said to her.
*Ma'am?* She thought to herself, *He knows my name.* But she decided to play along. "Hello officer, what's going on?"
He looked around the car, and she could tell he saw the lump under the blanket in the back, but he refocused on her. "Well, I don't mean to cause you any worry, but a prisoner escaped and we are looking for him." He held up a picture of Daniel. "Have you seen this man by any chance?"
She looked at the picture, moved her eyes up and down saying yes, but her mouth said, "No, never saw him before."
The officer nodded in understanding, "That's alright, just take it easy. And don't worry Ma'am, we will catch him." He said lightly patting her on the arm, and then he moved away from the car, and moving the roadblock for her to go through.
Greta then understood, they were letting her go through. And she rolled up the window and moved the car on down the road. She took at deep breath, and then noticed out of the rear view window a navy car pull through the roadblock as well, and then a gold one, neither one having stopped at the block. And the officer never did replace the roadblock. *Well they don't need it anymore.* She thought to herself. Greta now knew that Eric had gotten hold of his dad, and they were planning something. She just had to stay calm for them to do whatever it was that they were going to do.
She continued to drive, and then Daniel spoke, "Good job." He said uncovering himself, and moving to sit back up in the backseat.
"Were are we going?" She asked him.
"You will find out when we get there. Just keep driving I'll tell you where to turn."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta only slightly looked in her rearview mirror. The cars were still there, but they were keeping their distance. She had a feeling that they were going to just follow them until they stopped somewhere. She tried to calm herself, and think of someway that she could get him to stop the car as soon as possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric's foot pressed a little bit more on the gas petal, he had just went past the spot were they were cleaning up from the road block. His father had called and told him that Greta had gone through, and that they were now following her.
He was worried, he just knew he had to get to her. He had to help her, he had a bad feeling about all this and the longer it was taking to get her away from Daniel the more worried he got. "I just can't lose her." He thought to himself as he kept driving, as the sun started setting and sky was getting dark.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greta turned her lights on as it was starting to get dark out, she looked down at her gas gage, *Why did I have to fill up the car this morning?* She asked herself, wishing that if she hadn't they would have had to stop a lot sooner. She looked slightly in the mirror again for just a second, they were still there, but they kept switching off cars, so it wouldn't be the same one behind them all the time. She looked over at Daniel, he had crawled over the seat and was now sitting in the passenger seat next to her. He was starting to look a little antsy. Then his voice made her jump.
"Turn right, now!" She basically slammed on the brakes and turned the car. Her heart pumping fast, as his hands also went on the wheel. "Now drive straight, and keep going."
They were now on a dirt road, "Why couldn't you tell me before that? I could have slowed down? Are you trying to kill us?" She said in a loud voice, and immediately stopped when he held up the gun.
"I think you had just better do what I say? Now speed up, I want to get there faster." She speed up a little, "Faster!" He yelled at her. She sighed, she was now going almost 60 on a dirt road in the back woods. The road was barely wide enough for her car to go down, let alone if someone else was coming the other way. And there would be know way for the cars to follow her closely without Daniel knowing they were following him. Her heart sank. She had a bad feeling that they were actually getting away from the police. She kept driving, and after about three miles she saw something in the distance, she couldn't make out exactly what it was, but she had a feeling that she was getting to wherever it was that they were heading too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric was driving, it was totally dark out now, his foot slowly came off the gas as he saw lights up ahead in the middle of the road and his stomach tightened. The red and blue lights told him something was going on, and he was worried it wasn't good. An officer waved him to go around, but he pulled off to the side, and parked his jeep. An officer was walking over, trying to tell him to leave. But once he recognized him, he waved him over. Eric looked around and saw his dad talking to some other officers.
He walked over to them, "Dad, what's going on?"
Roman looked at his son, "Well, they turned down this road, and we couldn't exactly follow them, without letting him know we were. It's a little trail, luckily, as far as we can tell, there is no other way out. We have some officers going in by foot, making a slow sweep trying to find out where they went."
Eric looked at him, "So you lost them!"
"No, they are in there, we just have to take this with some care, the last thing we want is a stand off Eric."
He looked towards the woods, a shiver running up his spine. He could only imagine what Greta was thinking, or worse, what Daniel may be doing to her. "Dad, the longer this takes…"
"I know Eric, we are doing what we can."
"Yeah, whatever." He said angrily and walked back towards his jeep and hit his hands on the hood of it in frustration. He opened the door, and looked in the backseat, grabbed the flashlight he had in there, shut the door, looked at the police again, then at the woods, then back to the officers. In one less then a second, he made his decision.
Roman caught a glimpse of something, saw someone running into the woods. He looked around, Eric was nowhere to be seen. "Dammit, Eric!" He yelled. But Eric never looked back, he wasn't going to wait for Salem's finest to rescue her, because he knew if they did it would be to late.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 165
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Slow down the car," Daniel said from beside her, and she took her foot off the gas. Greta saw the cabin up ahead, and knew they had arrived at their final destination, at least for the night. Her heartbeat sped up, she knew the police were not right behind them, and hopefully they hadn't lost them, but she was worried about what might happen until they got there. "Okay, park the car." He told her as she got up to the building. She stopped the car, and put the brake on, just outside the door. He got out of the car, and told her to get out as well, pointing the gun at her the whole time. He motioned for her to move to the door, and she made it with just enough light from the stars showing above.
He opened the door and shoved her inside. He grabbed a flashlight that was near the door and turned it on. Daniel grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to a chair by the fireplace, "Sit down, and stay there." He told her and moved over to the fireplace, and started to place the wood to make a fire.
Greta sat in the chair looking around. "Where are we?"
He looked up and smiled at her, it made her spine shiver. "Isn't it great? It's my great-uncle's cabin, my father, brothers, and I used to come her to go hunting when I was younger." He then looked down at the gun, "I got a few nice trophies from those times, so I wouldn't try anything. I happen to be a very good shot."
Greta closed her eyes and swallowed, then opened them again. Soon the fire was started and it lit up part of the room. He then moved and lighted a few oil lamps making the room light up. "There, much better."
She looked at him, "Daniel, what is it that you want?"
He looked at her with a huge smile, "Isn't it obvious? You."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric ran, he just kept running, he could just barely make out the road a couple hundred feet to his left. The stars barely gave him enough light to see to dodge hitting the trees, but he didn't dare use the flashlight. He didn't want anyone to know where he was.
He had a sick feeling in his stomach, and he knew it wasn't from his running, he knew he had to get to Greta, before something horrible happened. The police were worried about getting Greta back alive, and they were taking their time and preparing to do just that. That was all well and good. But Eric was much more worried about what Daniel was going to do Greta, or the baby. He had a feeling he wouldn't kill Greta, unless she did something to make him do so.
So he just couldn't sit by and let it happen, he knew somehow Daniel had to be stopped, so he kept running.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Me?" She asked, her voice a little shaky.
"Yes, I want you." He said walking back over to her, "I want what was taken away from me, taken by him." He said with a sneer, as he grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. Showing her the ring on her finger. "What? Didn't think I knew that you married that Bastard?"
She tried to respond, but he pulled her towards the center of the room as he continued to talk. "You did announce your wedding and engagement in the paper, we do get the paper in jail after all. But I don't know what you see in him, we look so much better together." He told her as he took out his wallet, and handed her a piece of paper.
Greta looked at it, and almost dropped it when she saw it. There was her engagement picture from the paper, with Daniels head taped over Eric's. He took it back from her, "Just the way it should be." He told her and laid it down on the table. "A few days here, and then when they stop looking around here, we'll move on. Out of this state, and on with our lives, together."
*He's absolutely crazy.* She thought to herself.
He pulled her close to him, and he looked down at her, he brought his one hand up to the side of her face, the other one still gripping the gun. He then kissed her, she tried to pull away, but the feel of the cold metal at her side, stopped her instantly. And she willed her stomach not to get sick. She tried to put her mind out of the situation, and not think about his lips on hers or his hand caressing her cheek and hair. *How do I get out of this?* She thought to herself.
She cringed slightly as his mouth then started to make its way down her neck. Greta knew struggling wasn't an option, there was nowhere to run, especially while he still had that gun. She also knew there was no reasoning with him, he was completely out of his mind. But maybe, just maybe, she could turn the tables on him.
Greta let out a soft moan, and then another. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but knew it was the only way. Daniel looked up into her eyes, and she looked at him and gave him a soft smile. "Why did you stop?" She asked him seductively.
He smiled wider and pulled her closer, and started to nip at her ear lobe, she let out a soft sigh, and moved her hands around him, and up over his shoulders. She closed her eyes, *Oh God, forgive me.* she thought and then leaned in and gave a small kiss to the side of his neck as well, and then another. She heard a groan from him, and being pressed up next to him she knew he was getting turned on. She leaned up to his ear, "Use both hands, please." She said to him. And then she bit at his ear lobe as well to try and make her point as she ran her hands down his back.
Daniel pulled away slightly and looked at her. His grin a cross between seductive and insane. He put the gun down on the table, and then grabbed onto her sides and pulled her towards the bed on the other side of the room. They were there in seconds and she was already pushed back onto it before she knew what was happening. She started to panic, but then tried to calm down. *At least he doesn't have the gun anymore.* She tried to tell herself that was at least good. But soon he was on top of her, and trying to unbutton her top. *Time,* she thought, *I just need to waste time.*
Her hands went to her shirt, "Daniel, slow down. We have all the time in the world now." She told him with a smile, trying to sound genuine. "Let's make this special." She hoped he would listen to her.
He looked at her, another grin spreading across his face, "Women, they always want to take things slow. Why is that? They just want to torture us. When they want to go just as fast as men do." He started to rip at the buttons.
"Daniel, please." She begged at him, she was getting worried, soon her blouse would be completely open, and then there was no more hiding, he would know she was pregnant. And she had a feeling that he didn't know. But as the last button sprang across the room, and she looked up into his eyes, she could see the realization run over them.
His hand came down and touched her swollen belly. His eyes came up to hers, "You're carrying HIS child?" She didn't answer. "Aren't YOU?" He screamed at her. She began to visibly start to shake, she didn't know what to do, and the rage in his eyes was becoming greater.
"We can't have this!" He yelled standing up and starting to pace beside the bed. Greta looked at him, and at the gun setting on the table on the other side of the room. "How can we start a life together, with HIS baby inside of you? Huh? How can we do that? We can't!" He yelled still pacing.
She watched him pace, and tried to think of how she could get over there fast enough, but she knew that she couldn't. "Daniel, it's not my fault. He wanted it, he did it to me." She said trying to think of something to say, so that he wouldn't blame her.
He pulled her to him, and hugged her to his side. "I know, it's okay. You are away from him now. We will fix this, don't worry about it." He told her. "I'll just fix this little problem, and then you will be all mine." He told her, and smiled.
"How?" She asked, almost too worried to get the answer.
His eyes clouded with rage again, his pulling her wrist, so that she was on her feet and then he pushed her to the floor. She landed with a large thud on her side. "We just have to get it out of you." He said and Greta screamed as he moved towards her…..
