Dancer Reunited

Chapter 4

(A.N —I am so SORRY about the wait you guys! I was supposed to update earlier this week but my sister's house caught fire and she lost everything and I've been spending the last week helping her get back on her feet. But I am here now and here is chapter 4!)

Recap of Chapter 3

Katy was still unconscious but it looked as if Katy was sleeping.

She looked so peaceful lying there.

Memories flashed in Javier's head of their night together inside the beach tent after President Batista had fled the country.

Javier sighed.

How long ago that was…just about 5 years ago….

Javier froze…no…. it couldn't be…could that one time that they had made love…. no.

No way.

Impossible.

But before he could continue his thoughts, Katy began to stir.

And on with Chapter four!

When Katy opened her eyes, she was confused and a little bit scared.

Where was she?

This was not her room?

This was definitely NOT her bed.

She sat up, but felt a wave of dizziness and would have fallen back had no someone put their hand on her back to steady her.

"Easy there Katy. Don't push yourself, just relax, no one is going to hurt you."

Katy turned to where the voice had come from.

As soon as she saw him, everything that had happened earlier that day came flying back into her mind.

"Javier."

Javier smiled down at her.

"Hello Katy."

Katy frowned at him, "Where is Arieta?" She demanded.

Javier chuckled.

"She's fine. She's asleep in the living room."

Katy tried to get up, but Javier's strong arm held her down.

"Relax Katy she's fine. Let her be for a while. Besides, I think you and I need to have a little talk."

Katy let out a nervous chuckle.

"A talk?"

Javier frowned.

"Yes Katy, a talk."

"About what, Javier?"

"Well why you're here, in Cuba of all places, and with a daughter none the less."

Katy immediately went on the defensive.

"What is wrong with me having a daughter!" she demanded out raged.

Javier took a step back in surprise at Katy's sudden anger.

"Well-well nothing, but-"

"But what, Javier?"

"Well…." Javier hesitated, suddenly embarrassed.

"Well! Spit it out Javier! I don't have all day!"

Javier remained silent.

Katy stood up.

"Well fine, if that's all you wanted then I am getting my daughter and I am leaving."

Javier stood up as well.

"What do you mean leaving? It's too late to be walking home at this hour. It's a 15 minute drive back to the park and I don't know how much farther away your house is, but there is no way you are going out at this hour."

Katy just glared at him.

"Oh, sure, now you care about my well being!"

Javier frowned, he was completely lost.

"What are you talking about?"

Katy just like out a groan of frustration.

"Just forget it! I'll call for a cab!"

Javier had now reached the end of his patience as well.

"Fine!"

"Fine!" Katy yelled back.

And within ten minutes Katy had called a cab and left leading a half asleep Arieta out the door.

2 weeks Later

"Ms. Miller, Ms. Miller!"

Katy's head snapped up and looked at her now angry boss, Adrian Santos.

"Yes sir."

Mr. Santos just glared at her.

"That is the fifth time you have spaced out while on the job today Ms. Miller. I am starting to question my judgment on giving you a promotion!"

Katy bowed her head.

"I am sorry sir, it will not happen again."

He glared at her again.

"It better not, or I will be forced to take action."

Katy resisted the urge to flip her "favorite finger" at her boss and continued her job cleaning up the main lobby.

When Katy had finally finished work it was way passed her usually end of shift and she had missed the last bus out.

Katy let out a groan.

"Great." She thought. "Just great."

She let out a sigh.

"Well I guess I've got no other choice."

And with that she began the long trek home.

Katy had been walking for about an hour when she felt like she was being watched.

There weren't many people on this road as it was only a short cut used by cars and the bus that usually took Katy home, but even now there were not many outside, so Katy felt a little bit nervous but kept her head held high and cautiously took a look around her.

There was no one in front of her and she had passed a few people on the way but they were too far away now to be watching her.

She took a quick look behind her and saw a four guys following behind her about ten feet away.

One of the guys suddenly looked right at her and smirked.

Katy's head snapped back around and she quickened her pace, hoping they would give up.

They didn't, it just seem to excite them more.

Katy knew they were gaining on her so she decided to make a run for it, not that she had a big list of choices.

As Katy began to run the men called out to her, laughing cruelly as they matched her speed.

Katy knew that they were really starting to gain on her so she decided to take a surprise turn hoping to throw them off, but luck was obviously not with her.

Katy screeched to a halt, she had turned down a dead end street.

"Looks like you've got no where to go Seniorita."

Katy spun around and glared at the same man who had smirked at her when she had turned around the first time, she knew that he must be the leader they way he stood slightly ahead of the other three men.

"You stay away from me." Katy whispered as she glared at the man, trying to remain calm, and without realizing it she slow began to back away from the group.

Themen laughed.

"You've got no where else to run now, Yankee."

As he said that Katy felt her back hit the wall at the end of the street.

Oh no.

Katy looked around her, for something to defend herself with; a pole, a stick even.

Nothing.

Katy put her hands in her coat pocket looking for her keys; maybe just maybe she could scratch or poke one of the guys in the eye with her keys.

Even if that did work, how would she be able to do it to all four guys?

They would all probably just gang up on her.

But wait…what was this?

The plant scissors, she must have forgotten to put them back in the storage room after cutting the dead leaves off of the flowers in the front lobby.

Katy almost smiled.

This just might work.

Katy looked up and glared at her hunters, who were now nearly upon her.

With a yell she suddenly jumped at the leader, hopefully if she could take out the leader the others would get scared and run.

The leader was not expecting Katy to attack him so she was to stab the guy in the arm, and scratch one of the others on the face before getting hit in the stomach by the next guy.

Katy gasped and threw the scissors blindly.

She looked up at she heard one of the guys yell out in pain.

The scissors had gone flying into one of guy's leg.

Katy almost laughed; there was only one more guy to take care of.

Katy stopped short; she had no more weapons to defend herself with.

Oh crap.

The only guy left standing came running at her and pushed her into a wall.

Katy screamed as she felt her back slam into the wall, and fell to the ground.

Katy gasped for air, but before she could the man pick her up by her shirt and pushed up against the wall.

"Oh, I like a woman who can fight." he slurred.

Katy cringed, his breath smelt of beer.

Gross.

She was tiring but with a last burst of strength she brought her knee up quick and fast.

The man gasped and fell to the ground unconscious.

Whoa, I must have had more energy than I thought.

After Katy was sure the guys was really down for the count, she got up slowly ignoring the stings of pain coming from her shoulders.

Katy slowly was making her way out of the alley, walking as fast as she could, she didn't know where the other three would recover.

When Katy was finally about 10 blocks away from the street where she had been attacked she let out a sigh of relief.

She had been so close to being-well she didn't want to think about that right now.

As she continued her on her way to her house, she began to feel more and more tired, but pushed onward, she didn't know who else would pop out of nowhere to "talk" with her.

"Katy?"

Katy turned slowly and almost laughed.

It was Javier, in his car.

Katy could remember when Javier and his brother would steal and repaint cars when she had fist visited Cuba.

Katy shook her head and brought her mind back to the present.

"Hi." She whispered.

He pulled his car over, parked it and got out looking concerned.

"What happened to you?" he asked.

Katy laughed sarcastically, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

Javier came up to her.

"Oh really?" he said. "Try me."

Katy didn't know what came over her, but she suddenly started laughing hysterically and slowly and gradually, her laughter developed into sobs and she fell to her knees and bringing her hands up to her face.

Javier sighed, only guessing what could have happened guessing from her beaten up look.

"Oh Katy…" he said sadly, as he knelt down and wrapped his arms around her.

Katy slightly jumped when she felt his arms around her, and Javier didn't even need to ask what had happened or nearly happened to her, Javier didn't really want to think about it.

Katy jumped as she felt Javier's arm wrap around her but she almost immediately melded to his touch and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Javier, it was horrible. They-they a-almost…oh and I can't even bare to think about it…" Katy stuttered out before stumbling into sobs again.

Javier slowly began rubbing small circles on Katy's back trying to comfort her and calm her down.

After a few minutes Katy's sobs finally turned into hiccups.

Javier looked down at Katy and smiled at her.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Katy looked up at him and nodded.
