Kidnapped!

By: BrittbeeLynn Chapter 7: Rescue

Relena had been daydreaming when she saw someone coming up to her window. Cautiously, she had stood up and hid beside the window, out of sight of the person coming up. He had come up through her window and she had asked him what he thought he was doing. The man stared at her in disbelief and then grabbed her. She had struggled and hurt him pretty bad, but he was strong and stopped her efforts by holding a knife to her throat. She had been still after that. The man was bleeding profusely and cursing all the way. He dragged her out the window and to a helicopter. He shoved her into it and took off. He hadn't spoken a word to her at all.

Rob was terrorist. He had been informed that a major peace official lived in a house in the woods and had been sent to find out who and what that person was doing in the house. He hated peace and strongly wanted a war. He was a soldier through and through. He was out of a job in peace time. When he arrived at the house, he had gone in through the window expecting to find some sort of peace meeting that he could break up, but he had struck gold. Relena Peacecraft. He would be promoted for this, big time. He didn't want to hurt Relena, she could come in handy, and so he got her and headed straight for headquarters. When they arrived, he demanded to speak to the president of the terrorists, James Whitmer. He had been given permission with the warning that he would be killed if his information was trivial. James, the tall blonde boy of around 22, greeted him with an exasperated, "What do you want?"

"Sir, I am thankful for this opportunity to speak with you. I have very valuable information." he began nervously.

"Get on with it then." he said dubiously.

"I have Relena Peacecraft."

"What?" he asked incredulously.

"I found her in an old house in the middle of nowhere. I-I'll go get her for you sir." and he scampered off to get Relena.

"Ohh....Won't Jordan be mad. I have her after all. He's probably still searching for her. Ha! Search all you want J-man, I've got her for good." he said sinisterly. Rob returned shortly with a reluctant and upset Relena. That's definitely her, he thought.

"My, my, what have we here?" James asked innocently.

"James?" Relena asked in surprise.

"Long time, no see. What happened to you?" James asked curiously.

"Heero kidnapped me back." she said trustingly. I'm safe now, she thought. James could see her visibly relax when she saw him. Mmmm....He thought. With this wonderful change in plans, what shall I do?

"Rob, leave us. You will be rewarded greatly. Heero Yuy? The gundam pilot who broke your heart?" Relena blushed.
"I suppose...I was just a child then. I'm fine now, really." she answered, still blushing.

"Well, your safe now. I trust he didn't hurt you?"

"Heero wouldn't hurt me, but that thug sure did!" she said with contempt. Relena, mad, that always made James laugh, but he didn't want offend her, so he laughed on the inside. She was so innocent, so pure. That's what attracted the people, he bet. He would marry her and gain the people's favor, have a few kids and all the power he could want. Perfect. If she didn't want to marry him, that could be fixed, marriages didn't have to be desired, they could be forced.

"I'm sorry Relena. What do you say to a nice horse ride?"

"No thank you, would you mind taking me home? Please?" she asked with pleading eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm going to marry you and your friends in the Cinq Kingdom wouldn't let me if I returned you." he told her bluntly.

"What? I can't marry you!"

"Well, you are. Our marriage will be as soon as possible. If you don't cooperate, I'll drop a bomb on the Cinq Kingdom that will wipe EVERYTHING out. Just think of it as your final duty to the people. From now on, your duty is to look good by my side. Be prepared to be married the day after tomorrow. That will be all...No complaining. I do detest it. Guards! Take Relena to a nice room...How about the one in the east wing? It should do nicely. Good day, Relena! Ta-ta." he said quickly.

With that, Relena was dragged to a room and locked in. What was she going to do now? This kidnapping thing was starting to get old. Couldn't anyone keep a hold on her? If only Jordan had just kept me safe, she thought wistfully. I wouldn't be about to marry the dumbest man I've ever met.

Rob waited outside to be rewarded. He heard yelling and pleading. Then some guards drug Relena out of the room. Another guard shoved a bag of money into his hands and walked off. This was it? he thought. Oh well, $500,000 isn't too bad. With that, he left.

Relena had seen better security at her own home, it would be easy to escape. She quickly, and securely tied her sheets together. She was on the first floor for goodness sakes! Easy. Relena climbed down without breaking a nail. She quickly spotted a control base and went inside. There was only one guard and she silenced him with a swift kick in the head. After making sure he was not dead, she slipped into a Leo suit and left. Deciding to make a better exit, she fired at the control base and left it in flames. Relena quickly got out of there. She rode to the park and hopped out of the suit. Once out, she ran in the direction of the airport. She would fly home.

Jordan had just found out that James had betrayed him. James was a terrorist! It had come as a great shock for him. If anyone, he had thought that his brother would be the terrorist. He was going to give James a piece of his mind when he spotted a mobile suit running down the highway. The pilot is good at dodging cars, he noted. He decided James could wait a little longer. He followed the suit in his limo and came to the park. He then found, to his GREAT surprise, that Relena hopped out of the suit. That's what happened to her, he told himself. I'll get James 10 times as bad now.....No good idiot! After I saved his family from financial ruin and everything! He followed Relena a ways and realized that she was headed towards the airport. Mmmmm...., He thought, that's not very smart, Relena. Even that twit James will catch you if you go to the airport! He ran after her.

Relena could hear footsteps. Gosh, she thought, he's found me already. I wonder if he bothered to come or if it's one of his goons... Relena planned her attack. She estimated her would catch her in about 2 minutes. She would not let on that she knew she was being followed and would swing around with a swift kick as soon as he neared.

Jordan, being the Perfect Soldier, noticed the way that she ran changed. It was slower, as if she knew that she was being followed and that she was preparing to be caught. He also knew that she would most likely try to knock him out, so he prepared to dodge a fist or foot. He neared and just as he suspected, a solid kick came flying at him at lightning speed, but his reflexes were a little better and he grabbed her foot. Relena was shocked and almost hit the ground, but he caught her and began running back to his limo.

"Jordan?" she asked incredulously.
