Will sank down against the cool wall of the club his phone still pressed against his ear as Sam fired questions at him, the tired tone in her voice all but disappeared since he'd told her of the past hour's events. Sighing loudly he rubbed a hand over his face and wiped the tears on the hem of his shirt trying to compose himself again. "Look Will we'll find her. I promise you that and you know Emma; she won't exactly be the easiest of prisoners will she? She'll be outta there in no time!" Sam said, her tinkly laugh raising Will's sagging spirits slightly.

"I s'pose your right. Eugene's given me some names of places I can try but it'll be slow work. Paolo and Valentino have gone to arrange transport and then we'll be off…hopefully I'll hear from you soon but yeah…thanks Sam." Will frowned as the two Vespa's pulled up in front of him.

"Will, get on. Vale will drive you on his one, he'll take you to Auguso's place and I'll meet you at Pachino's in half an hour. We'll find her. We will." Paolo smiled encouragingly at Will as he stood up and stumbled across to where the two men were waiting patiently for him.

"Kay." Will murmured as he swung his leg over the back of the bike, not really caring how he was getting there as long as he was on his way to finding Emma. After an agonising twenty minute wait the little Vespa pulled to a halt and Vale and Will jumped off the back of it, storming through the doors of the building searching each room frantically for a sign that Emma had been there but to no avail. So it was back on the bikes again to try yet another hideaway of Demichi's.

Emma struggled in the grip of one of the large men as they tugged her from the car kicking and screaming. Unceremoniously dumping her on the floor they cackled as the tried and failed to stand, her ankles bound together. "Let me go!" She screamed tears trickling down her cheeks in fear and frustration. "I swear if you don't let me go then…then…" But she had run out of threats, there really was nothing she could do or say to scare these men, after all it was them who were holding her hostage. She had no power over them.

"Girl. I paid good money for you, you better obey orders. You better be good. " Marco commanded as he finally graced them with his presence. "Boys leave us, Emma and I have some…business to attend to." He continued, dismissing his employees with a wave of his hand.

"I…I don't have to do anything. I'll…I'll scream." She cried, her eyes pleading with his.

"You scream and I hurt you. Nobody will hear. Nobody will care." Marco said callously as he slapped her with the back of his hand leaving a large red mark on her cheek. "You do as I say. Now take off your clothes."

Shaking Emma slowly peeled off her t-shirt, disgusted with herself as she felt Marco's eyes roving over her body. Sliding her skirt down over her hips she grimaced, removing her flip-flops and stepping out of the pile of material at her feet. "You have a beautiful body…if you learnt to keep your tongue in your mouth then you would be just right for Marco. You English and your fiery tempers." He said his words oozing over his lips making Emma shudder. Pulling her towards him Marco forced Emma into his lap, pressing his lips tight against hers so she couldn't struggle. After several minutes of attempting to free herself Emma relaxed against him, tired of fighting and allowing him access to her mouth.

After what felt like hours Emma felt Marco pull away but the torture was only just beginning as his hands swooped under her knees and she was lifted from her feet as he stumbled from one room to the next until he found the bedroom, throwing her down onto the bed as he turned to close the door. "No screaming remember, Marco does not shouting. You will be punished if you anger me. " He reminded her sternly as he joined her on the bed, straddling her so she couldn't move.

"I…I…" Emma whimpered, words failing her as she felt his hot breath on her face as he began to press kisses along her jaw and collar bone. His hands were fumbling with his belt as he pulled his trousers roughly off his legs.

"Undress me." He commanded gleefully as he looked down at Emma whose eyes were wide with fear as she began to comprehend what was about to happen, as it started to sink in. Her hand wobbled as she reached for the buttons on his shirt, undoing them painfully slow so she could buy herself more time. Eventually however the shirt fell away to the floor and Emma bit her lip, forcing herself on as she felt Marco's stare penetrate her. Within minutes his and her clothes were completely removed and he was hovering over her as she wept, her head turned to the side so she didn't have to look at him.

Then there was a loud bang down the hallway followed by shouting and a sharp knock at the door before it too flew open and Will stood in the doorway, his mouth hanging open as he saw Emma lying back on the bed, Marco leaning over her. Stepping back as Valentino threw Marco aside and helped Emma from the bed Will looked down at the floor, desperate to avoid all eye contact with Emma. Marco sneered as he stormed past Will thoroughly angered that they had interrupted him. "The cheap slut wanted it. She begged for it." He spat and Will turned, smashing his fist hard into Marco's nose and seeing in satisfaction blood pour from both nostrils as he drew his hand away.

"I didn't." A small voice whispered as a hand slipped into Will's. "I didn't want it." Emma repeated as he turned to look sadly at her. "He…he made me I'd never…never want anybody to do…that to me…I wouldn't…I swear I…I wouldn't dare." She pleaded frantically as she placed a hand either side of Will's face to ensure that he looked at her.

"Hey…hey babe don't worry yourself about it. I'm just…just so sorry I wasn't here to protect you. I shouldn't have let you go with Eugene it was idiotic. I'm so sorry Em, I just…I don't know what I would've done if…if he'd…you know…well." Will garbled, one hand stroking Emma's back soothingly as he other joined her hand on his face.

"He didn't do any permanent damage Will I'm fine really. He just scared me…a lot that's all." Emma whispered as the tears began to slide down her cheeks once more.

"Oh honey come here. I won't let anybody touch you ever again I promise." Will soothed, leading Emma from the room and out to where the Vespa's were lying abandoned, Marco's car screeching away from the street as they emerged. "He's gone, see he won't hurt you any more babe. He's got his own worries with Eugene now." Will smiled as he helped Emma onto the back of one of the bikes, sliding in front of her as Paolo and Vale took the other one.

As Emma perched on the edge of the bed in the hotel room later that night she sighed. So much had happened in one day and it was really a miracle that she'd come through it unscathed. Behind her she felt Will's breath tickle her neck as he gently rubbed her shoulders. Turning round she leant up to press her lips softly to his, glad that it in no way reminded her of her encounter with Marco. As the pair of them snuggled down under the sheets Emma smiled, Will wrapping his arms tightly around her waist so glad that she was finally back in his arms where she belonged.
