I don't own these characters just a fan wanting to tell a story. Hope you Enjoy!
Eddie tried to break her legs free, but it was vain.
"Damn it" she exclaimed as an attempt to spate her knees failed.
She was exhausted, thirsty and hungry. It had been hours since Amanda had last come in. Eddie was getting desperate, how was Jamie going to find her. Could they ping the location of her phone it lay in her back pocket? Eddie sighed, trying not to cry again.
The door opened, and Amanda came in.
"I brought more food this time." Amanda said, with a faint smile, "Promise not to attack me?" Amanda asked as she started to unlock the handcuffs.
"Promise," Eddie agreed, eyeing the food greedily. It was just bread, cheese, and some fruit.
"How is your arm?" Amanda questioned,
"It hurts but not too bad," Eddie replied, eating the bread savoring the flavor, Eddie knew she should be trying to fight against Amanda, but something told her that she wouldn't get far and personally, she didn't want to be treated any worse than she already was being treated.
"How did you get that bruise on your arm?" Eddie inquired seeing that Amanda had four long bruises on the upper part of her arm as if someone had grabbed her by the arm a little too hard.
"Oh, its nothing," Amanda said hurriedly.
"It doesn't look like nothing, and what about the one on your face?" Eddie probed.
"Please," Amanda pleaded, "Don't ask questions."
"Who am I going to tell?" Eddie remarked,
"I am really sorry about his, he doesn't want to hurt you," Amanda promised, but somehow it didn't comfort Eddie
"Does your husband do this to you?" Eddie questioned, seeing the golden band on Amanda's left hand.
Amanda didn't say anything, but Eddie thought she made a slight nod.
"I disagreed with him." Amanda whispered, "but it doesn't matter.
"Yes it does matter," Eddie said earnestly, "there are people who can help."
"Yes, but I can't call for help, I will go to prison if they find out you are here," Amanda said resolutely, "I am truly sorry he has taken you, but there is nothing I can do, he took my phone away so I can't call the police, or do anything."
Eddie carefully and slowly reached into the back pocket of her jeans.
"Amanda, could you do something for me?" She asked, slowly removing the phone from the pocket. A plan formulating in her mind
"What?" Amanda questioned,
"Could you plug my phone into a charger, and then find a number that says's "Jamie" and just send one message. 'I'm fine, protect the wife' " Eddie said simply, handing the phone to Amanda, Amanda looked at her and saw the pleading in Eddie's eyes.
"Will that help?" Amanda questioned, taking the phone.
"Yes, it will." Eddie nodded fervently.
Amanda carefully replaced the cuffs on Eddie's hands.
"I'll do my best." Was all Amanda said as she left.
"Great, the Kellers have four different properties; she could beat anyone of them," Danny exclaimed placing his face in his hands.
"Can't we just start searching properties, and seeing which ones come up empty?" Biaz questioned.
"No, once we hit one place they would know we are on to them and they could kill Eddie," Danny explained.
"Danny, I just got a text from Eddie," Jamie exclaimed.
"What does it say?" Danny demanded.
"'I'm fine, Please don't hurt the wife" Jamie read aloud.
"What does that mean?" Biaz questioned.
"Jamie, does Eddie have to locate software on her phone?" Danny asked, turning to his brother.
"Yeah, but her phone was dead when we last checked," Jamie explained,
"Tell them to run it again!" Danny ordered.
Then out of the room where the "geek squad" as Danny called them worked the main "geek" came out and said. "We have a ping on Eddie's last location."
"That means all we need to do is figure out which Keller property is in the area of that ping!" Danny said gleefully, "Tell ESU to get a squad ready."
"I'm coming with you!" Jamie said it wasn't a question it was a demand.
Eddie winced from the screams coming from somewhere in her prison.
"You Stupid Bitch!" a man was screaming, "They will find us now, you could have just sent the message with our address and where exactly we are.
"Aaron, it's not right, we broke the law we have to turn ourselves in." Amanda was pleading, "You are going to make things worse. "
Amanda had been caught trying to help her, what if Aaron hurt her again. It would be Eddie's fault right?
"How could you betray me like that, You want out kids to grow up without a father and a mother." The man, Aaron cried.
Eddie closed her eyes tightly wishing she could use her hands to cover her ears, as Amanda's screams of pain and pleas for mercy fell on the deaf ears of her husband. Eddie felt tears coming to her eyes, Amanda might die because she had been kind and wanted to help Eddie. Then Eddie's heart froze, as two gunshots echoed through the house, and Amanda's screams stopped. An eerie silence filled the vast void the loud gunshots had left behind hind. Eddie's heart hammered in her ears, was Amanda dead?
The handle on the door jiggled, and the man who had first imprisoned her came in. He had blood splatters on his shirt and Glock 9 in his hand. He stumbled to the bed, he looked as if he was in shock.
Eddie pressed herself against the bed trying to get as far away from him as possible. He unlocked the chain that held her handcuffs to the bed frame, he took a knife from his pocket and cut through the duct tape. Eddie cried out in pain when the knife cut through her jeans and her skin on accident.
"Quiet," He ordered, "it's just a flesh wound" grabbing hold of her handcuffs.
"Walk!" He snapped.
"I can't," Eddie protested,
"Get up and walk!" He screamed, slapping her cheek harshly.
Eddie did her best to stand while she felt warm liquid dripping down her leg she looked down and saw blood falling from the wound in her leg. She felt a small wave of relief when heard the knife drop on the bed, but dread took it places when she felt the gun press against the small of her back.
"One false move and I pull the trigger." He spat.
"On three," Danny said into the radio after all the exits out of the large house had been covered.
"One, two, three!"
The doors where opened quietly, they didn't know where Eddie was, but the perp could kill her if he heard the wrong sound. Jamie stayed close to Danny and Biaz, the followed ESU.
They made it past the entry and into the living room. On the floor they lay a body of a woman, she was beaten badly and had too bleeding wounds in her abdomen,
Biaz rushed to her.
"Danny, she's alive," Biaz reported,
"It's all my fault," the women said frailly, "I let him get his bad, you have to save her!"
"Who are you?" Biaz questioned,
"Amanda Keller, you have to save Eddie, you have to save her, Aaron has her," Amanda pleaded, trying to staunch the bleeding from her stomach.
"Protect the wife!" came back to all their minds; "Amanda Keller" was the wife that Eddie asked to protect.
"Danny come on!" Jamie urged as they headed up the great stairs.
They meet a shocking sight at the end of the hallway once they reached the top of the stairs.
A wild man covered in blood, head a woman in a headlock a gun pressed to her head.
"You come any closer I will shoot her!" He said, Eddie barely even breathing because he hold around her neck was so tight.
What is going to happen to Eddie? That is the million dollar question. Hope you enjoyed that chapter! I love you guys!
