I am putting a Trigger Warning here just because there is implications of things, but nothing too bad happens. As you know I love the reviews so please keep them coming. Enjoy and stay blessed.


Mercedes gave up trying to free her hands. Dom hadn't been back in a long time and she wondered if he and Monica had left her for dead. She moved her fingers and felt the tingling sensation from her fingers having fell asleep. She continued pray as she had done for what seemed like hours. She wanted to scream but she knew that would do her no good.

She sighed wondering if she would ever make it out of there alive. She jumped as someone pushed the door open. Monica walked in frowning and sat on the bed. Mercedes looked at her feeling hot anger burn within her. Monica looked at her and sighed.

"I guess in all honesty I owe you an apology. I never wanted anyone to get hurt in all this. For the last few hours Dom has been calling everyone contact he has to get information on his brother with no luck. His temper has never been this bad and I think it's only a matter of minutes before he comes in here."

Mercedes looked at her then turned away.

"Why did you come in here?"

"I don't really know."

"Well unless you came in here to help me leave I suggest you leave me alone."

"I want to I do but I can't or he will kill me too."

"Then get out before he finds you in here."

"I'm sorry."

Monica gave her one last look then walked out the room. Tears sprang from Mercedes's eyes as she felt all hope for her life being taken away from her at that moment. Mercedes closed her eyes feeling the weight from the day weigh on her soul but jerked as someone burst through the door.

"Rise and shine."

She gasped as Dom moved over to her and cut her free from the bed.

"I spent the last three hours trying to find out where my brother is and you know what I realized?" he looked at her. "No answer? Well that is ok I will give it to you anyways I realized that while my brother may not be weak those other losers are and it is only a matter of time before they crack. So I was thinking what to do in this situation. See…" he caressed head and she moved away from him rubbing her wrist.

"What I realize is that if you would have kept your loud mouth shut all the girls would have been safe and me and my crew would be somewhere living it up but no you have to be brave heart and save the day. Well look what that has got you?"

"What are you going to do to me?"

"I am going to kill you…let's face it other than a few good attributes you're more trouble than you're worth."

He moved his hand down her arm.

"But first I am going to get something I have wanted from you since I walked in here. So I sent Maze and Monica outside for a bit because we need some us time."

He pulled her lips to his as he forced her back onto the bed.

Turning her hands she weakly fought him. "Get off of me."

She pushed him off of her and he tumbled to the floor. She got up and tried to run but fell as her leg fell asleep. As the prickling feeling moved from her ankle to her to her knee she willed herself to move. Dom got off the floor laughing while reaching for her.

"You sure do know how to turn a man on." He said turning her over.

"NO!" she screamed as she punched him.

He pulled her up to the bed and tore at her sweater. She screamed as his body covered hers not allowing her to move.

"I was hoping you and I could have some with you but I see you are going to be difficult and while it's turning me on it's wasting my time so…"

He grabbed her wrists and pulled her up to the bedpost. He pulled out two zip ties and smiled.

"Never leave home without them."

She tried to get up as he put all his lower weight onto her as he tied her to the bed. She pulled and screamed while he pulled off his shirt and got back onto the bed. She squirmed as he kissed her neck and moved his way down to her chest.

"What is that intoxicating smell…seriously its driving me crazy?"

She closed her eyes as his traced his finger around her face.

"I asked you a question!"

She opened her eyes to meet his. Tears slid down them as she stared into his black dark eyes.

"Get off of me." She said as forceful as she could manage.

"I can give you one more chance to reconsider my offer. Be mines and I swear I will take care of you. I can give you whatever you want. I don't normally do this but you seem to have an effect on me that no one ever has."

He wiped the falling tears out of her eyes.

"Tell me…is your pride worth your life? Are you willing to die just to show me up?"

Mercedes felt herself grow sick at the realization that she was considering his deal. His lips moved to hers as he gripped her breast. With a silent prayer she closed her eyes ready for it to be over. He leaned back unbuttoning her jeans and she opened her eyes realizing if she didn't do what he wanted her to he would kill her. He smiled down to her ripping away the remainder of her shirt.

"So what do you say? If your husband hasn't found you yet he won't…I would be so good to you."

"I thought you wanted to kill me."

"Not if you give me what I want."

"Untie me."

"So you can run? No way."

"Pure seduction."

"What?"

"My body wash, lotion and perfume I use Pure Seduction by Victoria Secret."

"Well I should write them letting them know it works."

"Don't kill me please." She whispered.

He took out a knife and cut one of her hands free.

"One for now if you are a good girl I'll free you."

"Just tell me what to do."

She took his hand in hers pulling him to her as he began to kiss her neck and shoulder, Mercy looked away trying to hide her tears.


Sam wished Blaine would drive faster knowing that if Hunter was right Mercy wouldn't make it out of the hotel. Sam squinted his eyes as they came up to the hotel. He recognized Monica right away.

"Blaine, slow down."

"What?"

"That's Monica right there sitting on the car. I'm guessing the guy sitting with her is has got to either be Maze or Dom."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

Blaine grabbed his radio.

"This is Detective Evans. I have located two of the suspects sitting on a black SUV. Not sure the make or model. There is one female and one male. Be advised they may be armed approach with caution."

He hung up looking at Sam.

"I would say stay in the car but I know you don't listen."

"I'll be careful."

"We wait until they grab those two then we move in ok."

Sam nodded as he watched Monica and her cohort become surrounded. As the arresting officers grab them Sam opens the door and runs towards Monica.

"Where is she?"

"This would have never happened if she would have just stayed out of it."

"Where is she? Tell me?"

"Room 214. Hurry please he's going to kill her if he hasn't already."

Sam ran towards the room with Blaine on his tail. Taking the stairs two at a time. As he reached the second floor he ran to the door but Blaine called to him.

"Sam get behind me. We don't know what could be in here."

"Blaine I know what I'm doing."

"I'm sure."

He banged on the door.

"Open up it's the police."

When no one answered he stepped back.

"We really should wait for the county sheriff."

"You can wait I'm not."

Sam lifted his foot and kicked the door down. As they walked into the living room Blaine grabbed his gun from his back and checked around the living room.

"It's empty."

Sam looked towards the back.

"You check that room I'll check this one."

Blaine walked silently over to the bedroom and put his ear to the door. He turned towards Sam and Psst.

"What?"

"Come here. I hear something."

Sam walked over to the door and heard whimpering.

"They're in there."

Blaine sighed.

"Ok so I need you to remain calm. We don't know what we are going to see in there and I am going to need you to keep it together."

"I was a profiler I know how to act when I get in there."

"Yes you were one and you were good but this girl has got you twisted."

"I'm ok. I got it ok."

Blaine grabbed the doorknob and turned it.

"It's not locked, we are going in."

Blaine pushed the door in and Sam wasn't prepared for what he saw. Dom sat on the edge of the bed with a half-dressed Mercy on the floor on her hands and knees with a knife to her throat. Tears falling from her eyes she looked so frightened. Dom smiled.

"Nice of you all to join us…Mercy don't be rude say hello to your husband and his what partner…" he looked from Sam to Blaine.

Sam went to move closer but Blaine held up his hands.

"We have your partners and we have the place surrounded there is nothing you can do to get away."

"Who says I still won't get away. The way I see it we have ourselves a little standoff. You guys can let me go or I slit her throat."

He dug the knife deeper into her throat and more tears fell from her eyes. Sam couldn't take his eyes off of her and felt helpless to save her.

Mercy tried to hold her head up and show no fear but she knew Dom was crazy enough to kill her and do it laughing. Sam moved in front of Blaine.

"Let her go."

A light gleamed into his eye and he smirked moving the knife from her neck to her breast.

"She means a lot to you doesn't she? I can see why I mean she is smart and beautiful and I wasn't sure about a woman with this much curves but I'm beginning to see that interest. Now I am a fair guy. I don't mind giving you what you want…as long as I get what I want. And what I want is a way out for me and my brother."

Blaine sighed.

"I'm not sure we can do that. We are not negotiators but I am sure you coming with us voluntarily will go a long way in your favor."

"You're not hearing me. So maybe I need to speak louder."

He forcefully dragged the knife across her chest. She screamed as blood slid down her chest she screamed louder as he pulled her closer. Sam moved closer to them but Blaine pulled him back.

"Sam Don't!" Blaine turned back towards Dom. "If you kill her you won't get your way."

"It's not like I'm getting my way anyways so…"

He lifted the knife again but Sam held up his hands and moved closer.

"Please don't hurt her anymore then you have. You are right you should get what you want but we are not in charge here. We have to answer to the authority as well as you do. I know you're pissed I would too but hurting her isn't going to make it better."

"I don't know I'm feeling pretty good about it. How are you feeling sweetheart?"

Mercy cut her eyes at him. She knew what Sam didn't. Regardless of what he said or did, Dom was going to kill her and when Sam was too distraught to go after him he would make his escape. No doubt because the other guy was there Dom was weighing his options but the outcome would be the same. Dom poked her with the knife and she let a scream out.

"I said how are you feeling?"

"Peachy."

Dom smirked.

"Brave until the end huh."

She held her head up. "Wouldn't have it any other way."

Sam looked at her seeing the glossiness in her eyes and frowned. She knew she was going to die, he thought of lunging at him but he knew Mercy would be a casualty of that. Mercy looked towards Sam and realized that he was thinking about putting himself in danger to save her and she wouldn't have it that way. She glanced to her left and right without moving her head trying to gage when would be the best time to make her move. She knew Dom had quick reflexes and it was only a matter of time before he killed her and hurt Sam.

She decided she would act first before anyone else got hurt. She got herself in this mess and it was up to her to fix it. She threw herself forward and then backwards catching Dom off guard they tumbled to the floor together. Breaking free from Dom she moved away from him but seeing him on his hands and knees pushed her over the edge. She jumped on his back and with her hands still tied she wrapped them around Dom's neck and squeezed as hard as she could placing him in a chokehold. Having brothers paid off for her because the Chokehold was the only way she could beat them. Sam was immediately besides her kicking his knife away from them.

"Mercy let him go."

"NO!"

She squeezed harder ignoring the pain of pushing her cuts up against his jacket and the tearing of her skin as Dom scratched at her arms.

"Let him go!" Blaine yelled and lifted his gun to her. Sam turned towards his brother with pleading eyes.

"Blaine don't ok I got this."

He turned back to Mercy bending down so she could see his eyes.

"Mercy let him go, I know what you are feeling he hurt you he took things from you that you can't get back but this will weigh on you for the rest of your life. Everywhere you look you will see him and he will remind you of what you did. You don't want that so let him go."

Tears slid down her eyes as she contemplated what he was saying. Part of her realized it would be so easy to kill him now. She felt him growing weaker and all she had to do was hold on a little longer.

"Sam I have to."

She gripped tighter digging her knees into his back. Blaine moved closer.

"I will shoot you. Let him go."

"Then shoot me…he tried to…he touched me and I have to do this."

Sam pulled out his pocket knife moving towards her.

"You don't have to do this." He cut the ties off her hands and pulled her closer to him. She struggled still holding Dom. Sam grabbed her hands.

"If you kill him how can I take you on our date? I promised I would come and I am here don't do this. He can't hurt you anymore…let him go."

Mercy looked into Sam's eyes and released Dom to the ground. Blaine immediately went to the coughing man grabbing his hands and looking towards Sam who held Mercy close to him. Three officers rushed into the room guns high as Blaine held his hands up with his badge.

"I'm on the job Detective Blaine Evans please take this man to a car and call a bus."

One of the men nodded grabbing his radio as the other two walked over to Dom. Blaine walked over to Mercy and Sam.

"Can she walk?"

"I don't know."

Mercy looked over to Blaine tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me I was just scared it I didn't stop him he'd come back."

"It's ok but I need to take your statement whenever you are ready." He pulled out a little notepad and a pen.

She nodded leaning against Sam.

"When can I go home?"

"After you get checked. I know this is a sensitive question but we need to know…did he rape you?"

Mercy looked towards the door and frowned.

"Not from lack of trying. If he didn't hear you bust in here he would have."

"Other than the cuts do you have any other broken bones or scars not visible?"

She shook her head no.

"I thought I was going to die. I was so scared."

Sam held her close.

"It's ok now, you are ok I am not going to let anything happen to you ever again."

She looked up to him.

"You make it sound like you want to date me or something."

"Yeah I think it is pretty obvious I want to be with you. I came here to find you."

"Because you made me a promise."

"Because I want to get to know you."

She bit her bottom lip holding his closer to her.

"So where are we going on our date?".


Sam grabbed Mercy's hand helping her out of Blaine's car. Wearing his sweat shirt she tried to prepare herself for what was about to happen. After fighting with the doctor to let her go home she was ready to see her family. Though it was only a nineteen hour ordeal to her it felt a lot longer. She glanced up to Sam who hadn't left her side since he found her. They walked up the stairs and the door flew open. She ran into her dads arms wincing only once at the pain from her the few stitches she needed from her chest. Her mother grabbed her pulling her close as Sam glanced over to Jonathan. He moved closer to Sam as the family gathered around her.

"Thank you."

"She deserves all the credit, she was amazing and brave you raised an amazing daughter."

"And apparently your parents have raised an amazing son. If it wasn't for you I don't know where she would be."

Jonathan took Sam's hand in his and then walked over to his family as Mary walked closer to her boys.

"Sam I am so proud of you."

"I was just keeping a promise."

"I think it was a little more than that."

"We should go…let them enjoy being together."

Mary nodded as she hugged Sam and Blaine. They turned towards the car and Mercy walked closer to them. She folded her arms and smiled.

"Trying to back out of our date aren't you?"

Sam turned towards her and smiled back.

"Well I didn't know if you were really interested or if it was just the danger talking."

"Oh I'm interested."

She said walking towards him. She pulled him into her arms hugging him tight.

"I owe you my life. I can never repay you for what you did."

"I didn't do anything."

"You saved my life. You kept your word and it doesn't hurt that you did it looking extremely sexy."

She whispered into his neck. Mercy looked behind him seeing Mary and released Sam. She walked over to the older woman suddenly feeling tearful.

"Mrs. Evans?" she asked.

"Yes dear and I know you are Mercy."

Mercy hugged her.

"Thank you for your boys. Thank you."

Amelia sighed hugging her husband.

"How about we all go inside I am sure Mercy is really hungry."

Mercy smiled walking towards Sam.

"Can you stay for a while?"

"If you want?"

"I do."
