Chapter 25
We've got a Situation
Sawyer POV
He took out his cell phone and dialed Jason Taylor his boss and head of personal security for Mr. and Mrs. Christian Grey. "Taylor, shots fired at the bookstore. I got Mrs. Grey out the back door and she is unharmed. She has a student with her, Jessica Bonderman. A male suspect shot a round into the glass front doors and rushed into the bookstore with a 9 MM gun. Mrs. Grey and the student were standing close to the back of the store so I took her out the back. Reynolds was in the front of the store in the car and he came around when the shot went off and he has Mrs. Grey and they should be at Escala now."
"Stay on the line Luke. I am calling Reynolds." Taylor got voicemail. "No answer. I'm calling Mrs. Grey."
No answer either. "SHIT. She didn't answer either." You could hear him running down the hall. "Andrea! Where's Mr. Grey?" He shouted at Andrea when he ran out of Christian's empty office. She jumped up from her desk.
"He just headed down to the conference room on the 15th floor." She started to shake. "Is something wrong with Mrs. Grey?" Taylor ignored her and picked up her desk phone and dialed Christian's cell phone. "Mr. Grey, I need you in your office immediately, we have a situation."
"What do you mean Taylor? Is it Mrs. Grey? Is she okay? What's going on?"
"Sir, there was a shooter at the bookstore…" Taylor held the phone away from his ear as Mr. Grey screamed into it.

"If my wife is hurt, heads will roll!" He came running out of the stairwell with his phone still at his ear.
He saw Taylor and hung up with him and immediately called Ana. No answer. "Let's go." He ran to the stairwell and Taylor followed him.
"Sir, Sawyer got her out of the bookstore safely then put her in the car with Reynolds. We haven't been able to make contact with them after that. He was supposed to take her to Escala."
"Call Gail and see if they made it there yet." Christian said as they ran to the car and jumped in. Taylor called Gail on the Bluetooth as he tore out of the parking lot.
"This is Gail." She said professionally.
"Gail, is Mrs. Grey at Escala with you?" Taylor asked.
"No sir. She had a field trip to the bookstore this morning then she was going back to school until 3:00 pm."
"Okay, thank you Gail. Please call me back if Mrs. Grey shows up in the next few minutes." He cut off Gail's next question. "Sir I am going to call the police and let them know that there is a possible kidnapping in progress."
"Let's go to the bookstore. We can see if they are still there by some chance." Christian was pulling on his hair so hard his head hurt. He was crying and didn't even know it. He picked up his phone and dialed Elliott's number. He answered on the first ring.
"Hey little bro! What's up?" He asked, ever cheerful. Christian sobbed. "What's going on Christian?" Elliott asked.
"Ana was on a school field trip, someone had a gun and shot into the store. Sawyer got her out the back and she was supposed to be headed home with Reynolds. We can't get either one of them on their phones. I don't know if someone was trying to kidnap her or not." He couldn't stop shaking, if something happened to Ana he didn't think he could live without her.
"Christian, call the police. Where are you now? I will come there." Elliott was running out the door with his keys in his hand trying not to let his brother hear the panic in his voice. He was afraid this might happen. Ana was every kidnapper's dream.
"Taylor has the police on the phone. We are headed to the Elliott Bay bookstore to talk to Sawyer and Prescott. I told her this wasn't a good idea. We had three active threats against her life last week Elliott." He whispered as he cried. "She didn't know. I didn't want to scare her." He saw the bookstore and jumped out of the car when Taylor stopped. Sawyer came running over to them.
"Prescott was shot in the arm. She is with the paramedics. I think she needs to go to the hospital. She doesn't want to go since we don't know Mrs. Grey's whereabouts."
"What about the students? Was anyone else injured?" Taylor asked Sawyer. He shook his head no.
"The students are in the back storeroom waiting for clearance to leave. The shooter got off about five shots before the other two bodyguards tackled him. He is being held by the police. He had a ransom note in his bag. He was the diversion so someone could kidnap Mrs. Grey."
"No shit Sherlock." Taylor said disgusted. "Call Welch and see if he has a line on Reynold's car yet. He had to take a different car today since his regular car was in the shop."
Christian called Fred Welch, his head of security at Grey House. "Welch, track my wife's phone and Drew Reynolds phone. Neither one of them answered their phones and there is a possible kidnapping in progress."
"Stay on the line sir. This will only take a minute." You could hear typing. "Sir, Mrs. Grey's phone pinged on the next block. Reynolds phone is off or dead."
"Thank you Welch. Text me that address." He hung up and jogged over to Taylor as he heard his phone buzz with a text. "I got the address of the last location of Ana's phone. It's a block from here." They jumped in the car and turned the corner. Christian jumped out of the car that was still rolling when he saw Ana and a girl running down the street towards them.
"We got away! Reynolds was shot! He needs help! We were on our way back to Escala and someone hit our car about a block from here after we left the alley. They pulled us out of the car and shot Drew in the leg. He shot both of the kidnappers. He told us to run away so we did." That was all Ana said before she fainted in Christian's arms. He thought he was going to faint himself when he saw blood running down his wife's arm.
Ana woke up and knew she was in a hospital from the antiseptic smell and the beeping monitors. Christian was sitting as close to her as he could without being in the bed with her. He had a strong grip on her hand and she saw blood on his shirt. "Hey there." She said, still groggy. "Why am I here? Was I hurt?" She looked down to see if she had any injuries. There was a bandage on her upper right arm.
"Yes! You were shot at apparently. The bullet grazed your arm. Did you know you are pregnant Ana?" Christian asked anxiously. "They are going to do an ultrasound in a few minutes to make sure everything is okay with the baby."
She looked at him in shock. "Pregnant! No! I didn't know!"
