Answered Prayers

Chapter 13 Mia's POV

'God please send my savior! I need Dom!' I thought to myself as I sat in the hot, dark room on the boat, grinding my teeth, trying to bare the pain in my wrists and ankles from the ropes. I could hear Benny and his men on the top deck. It was so hot I could feel the sweat running down my face and neck. I pulled my hand back as far as I could from the steel pipe it was tied to and thrust it against the wall.

"Knock it off down there!" I head one of Benny's men yell from above.

"Come on, it's fuckin' hot down here!" I yelled back.

"Shut the fuck up!" The voice came again.

"If they won't do something about it then I will." I said out loud to myself.

I had a little more length in the ropes holding my ankles so I brought by foot up with my knee to my chest and gave the small porthole a swift kick. I felt the glass give but it didn't shatter as I had hoped but I checked the window again and I had managed to break a small piece out so I knew one more kick would do the trick. I pulled my knee back to my chest and just as I was about to release my fury on the small window, a face appeared on the other side.

"Shit!" I exclaimed as I jumped. It took me a second to realize whose face it was, "Oh my god, Taylor. Oh Thank God, I was worried no one knew where I was."

"Shh, are you ok?" Taylor asked through the time hole in the glass.

"Aside from the rope burns, yeah." I replied with a sigh then added, "Please tell me you came to get me out of here." I stated.

"Look Mia, you're gonna have to sit tight baby girl. There are only four of us out here and Benny has more men then I anticipated." Taylor responded with sadness in her eyes.

"So there's only you and three other agents? Are you crazy coming here with only three people to back you up?" I asked a bit shocked.

"Well, I just ran Lance down and he told me where Benny was keeping you and I, I mean we, had to make sure you were ok. Mia, I didn't come with the feds, I came with…Dom and Brian."

My heart leaped into my throat at the sound of my brother's name, "Dom's here?" I asked frantically.

"Yeah, he's checking the other side of the boat. Look, I really hate to do this but I have to go before one of them sees me. I'm not going far, I'm just going back to the truck to call Lopez and get Walker and the other guys out here." Taylor said and it was obvious she didn't want to leave me.

Suddenly something she said clicked, "Taylor, what did you mean Lance told you where I was? The feds already knew I was here, didn't they?" I asked, confused.

"No, I just beat it out of Lance about 45 minutes ago. Why?" She asked, a bit confused herself.

"Because Cole was here this afternoon. I saw him through the window on the other side." I explained.

"Cole…as in Cole Walker? Fuck. If they are keeping shit from me I'll kill em'." Taylor stated.

I heard the door open and I snapped around to look and it was one of the guys coming down the stairs with a bottle of water. I looked back to the window and she was gone.

"Who are you talking to?" The guy asked, startling me.

"Myself! Do you see anyone else down here asshole?" I hissed as I tried to cover the hole in the window.

He threw the bottle of water into my lap, "You keep on with that mouth of yours and I'm going to shoot you for the hell of it!" He retorted and I glared at him as he stood in the middle of the room.

Suddenly a slight movement caught my eye. I looked over his shoulder out the window on the other side and I saw Dom's face. At that very second, when he winked at me, I knew everything was going to be ok again. I knew if I could just grit my teeth and bare it a little longer; I'd be back in the comfort of my home with Dom, Leon, Jesse, Taylor, Brian and…Letty.

More to come……………
