Chap 6:

The four of them split up, Dom taking Emma and the other man pulling away Lisa. Even though Emma was afraid of Lisa causing a scene, she felt even more vulnerable to be alone with Dom. His hand was crushing hers, anchoring her to his side. If she pulled even slightly, his hand would squeeze tighter cutting off the circulation to her fingers.

"Where is he taking Lisa?" Emma mumbled.

"We'll see them soon enough." Dom said. "Don't want to be too obvious. You're both high profile. Made it to the top of our list."

"What list?" Emma started but Dom shook his head with a slight smirk.

"There's a place and time for that Emma." They both fell silent after that, as Dom lead her through the airport back in and out of terminals, before taking her outside of the checkpoint and towards the parking garage. Inside the airport she had felt a sense of safety, as if someone would notice her, notice that something was wrong but with each step away from the airport she felt her muscle start to shake.

"Alright Emma? Those panic attacks still haven't gone away have they."

"No…" she chocked out.

"Keep it together, a few moments longer, and you can have your meds." Emma glance dup at him puzzled.

"I told you Emma, I don't want to hurt you. That's not the point of this."

"Then what…" she started stopping with a slight yelp of shock and pain as he tightened his grip to crushing temporarily.

"Not the time…" he reiterated as they stepped closer towards a police car. Emma's heart sped up, it looked like someone was in the driver's seat, maybe this was her chance to be noticed, but where was Lisa and the other guy?, she needed them to stop everyone at once if she was going to save herself and Maria. After all, as she argued with the counselors, she hadn't been the one to save Maria. Sure, she gave herself over to Carson, but that only got one enemy away from her. Jackson was going to take Maria straight to the bad guys, but he somehow changed his mind. Jackson saved her while Emma was still a victim. She knew she didn't do anything; it was Jackson who saved her. She couldn't escape one man, let alone these two and whoever else may be wherever they were going.

Emma whipped at her tears with her free hand. This wasn't fair, none of this was fair, why did this have to happen? Her mind was spiraling and she knew it, but she glanced away from the officer's vehicle, earning a chuckle.

"You're smart Emma, but in this case, that's my vehicle."

"You stole a…" Emma trailed off. These people worked with Jackson. He had told her that they did high profile jobs, that they had people in all stages of the justice system. The way Dom carried himself, the almost militant appearance was too obvious. "No…you didn't steal it you're a cop. You bastard, you're supposed to protect people."

"I am, Emma, We just disagree on who those people should be. Now let's go." Dom moved her closer to the car and she could see that the man in the driver's seat was the one who had walked off with Lisa. Emma swallowed carefully, Lisa herself was nowhere to be seen.

Dom pushed Emma against the car and pulled her hands behind her back handcuffing them together, tight enough to lock but not tight enough to cause severe discomfort. He opened the door to the back seat and helped her into the vehicle. Dom shut the door locking it behind her and she hung her head between her knees trying to take deep breath to keep of the panic.

"Where's Lisa…" she muttered over and over again, "What did you do to her?"

"Emma, please." Dom said opening the door to the front seat. Emma moved as close as could towards the cage separating her from the driver. "Where is Lisa?" she asked chocking back her fear, trying to sound more confident.

"Vin..What did you do with the girl?"

"Bitch bit me." Vin said rubbing his hand. She expected Dom to go off with anger, and Emma slid back against her seat, but instead he laughed.

"You knew she was a fighter." He said fighting back more laughter. "Relax Em, Lisa's fine. Vin knows what he's doing." Dom dropped Emma's backpack on the floor and slide into the passenger's seat. "Get comfortable Emma, we got a long ride ahead of us."

"I don't get it. Where is Lisa?" Emma asked again.

"Emma." Dom said his voice sounding void of patience "I've had a really, really long flight and now a long ride ahead of us. Lisa is in the back, she's fine. And if you keep your mouth running, you can join her shortly." Emma wanted to say something, but she was sure that Dom wasn't joking about his threat.

"Vin, Get us out of here. I need a drink." Dom's demeanor had changed almost instantly. When they were walking he had at least acknowledged her questions, talking to her calmly, but now that she was in the car he dismissed her so quickly like she didn't exist. He began tugging at his tie until he could pull it off, and began digging through the glove box. He pulled out a pistol and checked the barrel and kissing it. "I feel so empty without my baby." He said checking the safety before sliding it into a holster on his hip. Vin just smirked at him and shock his head. "You have issues you know that?" Vin said with a chuckle, as put the car in gear and began backing out of the parking spot.

Emma glanced out the window watching as the world began to pass by, where were they going? How was she supposed to get away, and was Lisa really okay? Emma's heart was pounding out of her chest, and she felt sick. This just wasn't fair. None of this had been fair, and yet here she was again.
