CHAPTER 3

While heading back to the station with the coffee and teas Francesca also bought an assortment of cakes and doughnuts. A car pulled up and a man grabbed her throwing her into the van knocking her out in the process. When Francesca came to she found she was tied to a chair looking around her eyes were fuzzy. When Francesca finally focused she saw Fraser hanging there by his arms in front of her. He looked dead to her she could feel her heart pounding in her throat and ears.

Fraser started coming to and was in shock when he saw Francesca. Oh no not her Fraser thought what did Francesca ever do to anyone.

Frank chose that moment to come back in, "Oh I see our new guest is awake", Frank barked out.

Fraser spoke up, "You touch on hair on her head and I'll",

"You'll what Frank replied back while punching Fraser in the ribs as a reminder.

"I'll hunt you till the end", Fraser barked back at him.

Frank walked over slapping Francesca across the face, saying "Try it".

Frank then walked over adjusting the webcam so the whole room came into view.

Ray noticed Francesca straight away started shouting, "He's got Francesca, he's got Francesca".

Franks face appeared again saying in a very sarcastic tone, "Well you still think I'm not serious eh".

Lt Welsh kept checking to see if the trace on the feed from the webcam was leading anywhere. This man was clever though he had the feed jumping everywhere.

Time was marching on and the pain intensifying with every passing second. Since Frank had left again Francesca began to speak to Fraser. Frank had untied her but warned any attempt and the Mountie gets it.

Francesca was over whispering to Fraser. It was a stupid question but the words still came out in sobs, "You ok".

Fraser's eyes rose to meet hers, "I don't think I'm go-going to make it", Fraser replied with a cough.

"Don't say that" Francesca sobbed, picking up a bottle of water and putting it to Fraser lips.

Fraser still spoke, "In case I don't tell-tell Meg that I'm sorry and that I lover her I-I".

Francesca Schussed him "Save you strength and you can tell her yourself ok".

Fraser was surprised by her strength and just nodded.

Francesca examined Fraser wounds and cleaned some but it was no use it caused to much pain to even touch him. Francesca just kept saying "Sorry, sorry". It was hard to watch this brave man who never did noting to no one only had good in his heart like this.

Fraser was starting to give up and Francesca knew it.

Fraser was getting weaker his mussels in his arms were burning from trying to support his body weight. It was hard with just the use of one leg. Fraser was listening to Francesca speak her voice was soft and soothing it was the only thing at that moment keeping him from bowing his head and giving up.

Back at the station people were frantically doing what they could to get them out of there. The search on the webcam was hard it was still bouncing around the place. Eight hours passed and noting new. Every now and then Frank would appear just to have his entertainment as he called it with the Mountie. It was better then hitting her Fraser though.

A man in a grey suite walked into the 27th station carrying bags. Approached the desk asking, "I'm looking Margret Thatcher I was told I could find her here".

Meg came from behind the computer screen eyes sore from crying. She knew this man she ran to him shouting, "Oh dad there going to kill him".

"I'm here now sweet heart I brought the money" gave her a kiss on her forehead.

Meg brought her dad over and made the introductions. Her voice was very shaky. They still couldn't trace the feed but it was narrowed down to a cretin area of town. A very posh area in fact only Condo's and office building's down by that part of the lake front.

Ray said "You need some money to even rent around there".

Their attentions turned to the screen they could all see Fraser was getting weaker and it scared them. It was a fear they never thought was possible to feel.

Ray, Ray blamed himself. Fraser was there barley hanging on all because of him. Francesca she seemed not hurt apart from the one slap. Thanks to Fraser saying "do what you want to me just please just don't touch Francesca".

It was the one wish that Frank gave Fraser gave him kind of like a last request.

One more to come hope you're still enjoying. Reviews still welcome.
