Chapter 4
Tonya smiled as she sat in the waiting room of the hospital. She was now five months pregnant and was in for an ultrasound. So far things had gone well for her; she had coped well with the pregnancy symptoms and had already experienced the feeling of her baby kicking a few times.
'It's a shame Kareem couldn't get time off work to be here with me.' She thought sadly. 'I know how much this would mean to him, still; I promised I'd call him; he's probably waiting right now.'
She smiled at that; like her Kareem was excited and nervous at the same time. She could see him now, working at his desk, anxiously glancing at the phone every few minutes, waiting for it to ring. She was jolted out of her thoughts by a nurse calling out.
"Tonya Yousuf."
She stood, with some difficulty and headed over. The nurse smiled and led her through to the room where the ultrasound would be taking place. Soon everything was ready and the specialist entered; Tonya waited to hear the result. Several minutes later she was walking out of the hospital, smiling as she looked at the sonogram picture in her hands. She pulled out her phone and called Kareem.
"Hello?" He answered; she could hear the nervousness in his voice.
She decided not to keep him in suspense any longer. "Hi Kareem, it's me…I just finished, the baby's alright, everything's fine…Also, we're going to have a little girl."
She heard Kareem gasp before replying. "That's great; we'll have a daughter…I, love you honey."
"Love you too; see you when you get home."
They hung up and Tonya headed home. She was so happy that she didn't realize anything was wrong until she felt the gun pressing into the base of her neck.
Kareem couldn't stop smiling as he went through the rest of his day at work. He had just got the call from Tonya; he had just found out he would be having a daughter. He could hardly wait to get home and see Tonya; they would have a lot to talk about, a lot of plans to make. Finally work was over and he was finished for the day. He left, talking to his work colleagues; he got in his car and drove home, smiling widely. He soon reached home and parked his car. He got out and headed inside, closing the door behind him. He listened, expecting to hear his wife calling out to him. What happened instead however was someone grabbing him from behind and forcing a sweet smelling cloth of his mouth and nose.
"WRGH MMM!" He cried in surprise.
He struggled but found his movements becoming sluggish as the sweet smell invaded his nostrils. He began to feel sleepy and slowly felt himself drift off, the fight going out of him as he fell limp in his assailants grasp. When he came to he found his movements were restricted, he was sitting on the sofa, but his hands were tied behind his back, his legs had also been tied together tightly. He had awoken to this and to someone shoving a wad of material roughly into his mouth.
"HHG!" He cried out as he tried to struggle and spit the material out.
But his captor simply held it in place until he forced a length of material against it and pulled it tight around Kareem's mouth, tying it off tightly, cleave gagging him, preventing him from spitting out the material, he was now helpless.
It was then he finally saw his captor.
"YGG!?" He tried to scream, muffled by his gag.
It was his uncle, Abbas. The man glared at him and Kareem noticed he was armed with a gun.
Abbas shook his head. "I warned you Kareem, you've defied me for years now, you've shamed us all with this. Now you and that foolish girl will pay."
It was then, to his horror, Kareem saw he wasn't alone. Tonya was sitting on the sofa next to him, she was bound and gagged too; she was sitting perfectly still, her eyes wide with fear. Kareem also noticed the look in his uncle's eyes and knew the man had finally snapped, he knew then this was bad, there was no telling what his uncle would do in this situation, just what the man was capable of, especially when he was armed. Before his uncle could go off on another tirade however Kareem's phone rang. Kareem gasped and watched as his uncle picked up the phone and checked the caller ID, he sneered and then, surprisingly, answered it. Kareem sat still to, listening carefully, realizing it was his father who had called. He could tell things weren't going well when his uncle started shouting. He just hoped his father realized just how serious things were. At that moment however, only one thought truly matter to Kareem, he did his best to move, he had to shield Tonya from his uncle, anything to protect her and their unborn daughter.
Catherine sighed as she joined Nick, just as they were preparing to leave the lab. It had been a long and hard hunt, but finally, Stuart Hall had been found, arrested and, once confronted by the evidence, confessed. With Stuart behind bars and awaiting trial, and with no further news in any other cases likely until the following day, they finished their work day and were getting ready to head home. However, before they reached their car, Catherine's phone rang. She answered it. "Yes?"
"Catherine, it's Aadila…" The woman replied, breathless.
Catherine noticed this and tensed. "Aadila, what's wrong?"
Aadila's answer horrified her. "It's Kareem and Tonya, they're in trouble, Mosab's brother, Abbas, has them, he's taken them hostage in their own home."
At that point Catherine hung up and swiftly spoke to Nick, she didn't wait for any further explanation, she only wanted to get to the house as quickly as possible.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
