Hey, sorry for the long wait but I've just finished school and now I'm FREE! Ok, now I got that outta my system, I was reading the reviews and I had to agree with vilis91 I have been giving them an awfully hard time haven't I? I feel a little bad now :L So after this chapter I'm going to try on work on a more low key chapter, just a day in the life of Danni and Juice. Ok? Great.
Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own the sons of anarchy but like many I wish I did. I do however own the character Danni! And the other characters that you don't recognise.
Right, on with it…
Chapter 17
After Abel had opened all of his presents Juice had gone down to the station to wait for Danni's release or news if she'd be held for something. When he asked for her however no one seemed to know what the hell he was talking about. Danni wasn't at the station and neither was Agent Sanders.
They had all tried calling her but there was no answer and no one at the station knew where Agent Sanders had disappeared too. As you can imagine they were pretty pissed off. Everyone stayed at the clubhouse that night out of worry and fear but when they hadn't heard anything by the next day Juice was about ready to lose his mind.
"What the fuck are we gonna do?" he asked as he paced.
Clay sighed and tried to keep his own anger at bay for the moment "We need to figure out where to start before we go looking" he replied.
"Can't you try and locate Danni's phone?" Jax asked Juice anxiously.
"Fuck!" he cursed at his stupidity "Yeah, I can try that" he said and grabbed his laptop straight away. He tapped away on his laptop for a few minutes before he sighed in frustration and anger shaking his head at the others "Nah can't locate it" he said and that seemed to bring them all down even more.
"Why would he take her away though?" Half-Sack asked.
Chibs shrugged "Maybe he wants to get answers from her without the cop's involvement" he suggested.
Tig looked around and then spoke "He cuffed her before they left didn't he?" he asked not quite remembering.
"Yeah, so she can't fight back real good right now" Opie ran a hand over his face.
Gemma had been silent so far trying not to think of losing another child. They all needed Danni and they couldn't lose her…some of them wouldn't survive that. She, Jax, Clay…Juice…all of them needed her more than she realised, without her they would have fallen apart years ago. She thought about all of Danni's interactions with Agent Sanders and what was said while trying to figure something out.
"He kept saying how impressed he was with her. How capable she was, how great she was. He's been digging through her life, getting to know her" Gemma mumbled mostly to herself but the others heard as Tara gasped.
She had been there and done that "What is it's like my Kohn situation?" she asked fearfully as Jax gripped her hand also fearing that this was the same situation.
"Oh shit" Bobby cursed.
"That's why he was more interested in her than the rest of us as suspects" Piney said.
"He's obsessed" Clay said quietly clenching his fist.
After a few moments Donna said "Can't you do something to Sander's phone?"
Juice shook his head that was in his hands "Don't know anything about his phone" was all he said.
"What about doing something else to Danni's phone?" Cherry asked almost desperately.
Juice shook his head again in despair before he shot up and grabbed his laptop again "If I can hack in and connect to her phone then I can command it to call her speed dial 1...that's me" he said hopefully and they all basically held their fucking breaths. After a few minutes Juice's phone started ringing, caller id showed that it was Danni.
"Put it on loud speaker man" Jax said and Juice nodded answering and putting it on loud speaker but no one spoke in case Sanders was nearby.
OoOoOoO
Danni groaned as she got her bearings and tried not to get nauseas at the throbbing pain in her head. After they had driven for a while Sanders had hit her over the head with his gun knocking her out in the backseat so that she couldn't see where they were. As she looked around she was in an empty room that had no carpet, nothing on the walls and only a single bed, chair and table. There was a single small square window too high up for her to see out of from her position cuffed to the bed. Her bag, phone and keys were sitting on the lone table but there was no way she could get to them.
"Good you're awake" came a voice to her left so she turned her head and saw Sanders walk into the room "I was beginning to worry" he said.
"Sanders what are you doing?" she asked him in confusion to his plan in all of this.
"Call me Jason" he said…well, ordered "And I plan to make you realise that we're meant to be together" he added.
"Where are we?" she asked him opting to not antagonise him just yet.
"That's not important Danielle. What's important is that we're together now" he replied taking his jacket off.
"How long are you planning on keeping me here?" she questioned.
He shrugged "A few days give or take. Then we'll move again" he said "Can't have those bikers finding us now can we" he said shaking his head.
"What about your job? The people you work with will realise that you're gone eventually" she tried.
He smiled at her "Always so considerate" he said lovingly at her "Don't worry Danielle, they won't find us" he said confidently.
"How can you be sure?" she asked and he suddenly slapped her across the face. She froze from the sheer shock of it, she had not been expecting it but she will from now on.
"Don't question me!" he hissed then he softened "I'm sorry Danielle…see what you make me do?" he stroked her cheek and she fought not to cringe.
"I don't understand why we're here" she said carefully and he sighed again sitting on the only chair in the room.
"Danielle, this time together is going to make you realise that you love me too. If I have to be a little more forceful to get you to be obedient then so be it. Once you've accepted it then we'll consummate our love and then get married. If in a few days your still fighting me I suppose I'll just have to make you do these things and show you how much I love you" he said and a slight tinge of fear crept through her.
Make me?
OoOoOoO
Juice had to sit the phone down when he heard Sanders slap Danni so that he didn't crush it and they all had to basically grind their teeth to keep from making noise. As the conversation drew on they got more and more furious. Make her? Fuck no. But he said a few days and that didn't give them very long to find her.
It was silent for a few moments on the other side of the line, Danni probably trying not to show her emotions before she spoke again "And if someone comes after us?" she asked.
"No one will find us Danielle, I already told you that. Not the cops and not your precious bikers" he spat "I had to intervene yesterday when I did. Before that boy's party I saw that biker of yours all over you…it was disgusting! How dare he touch you? You are mine Danielle!" he yelled at her before he paused "I saw you reciprocate Danielle…I'm extremely disappointed in you" he continued.
Juice was gripping his seat by now and most of the guys had stepped away from things they could break just in case they lost their tempers.
"I thought you'd know better Danielle. You've been acting like a slut! Whoring around with Juice" he sneered the name "You are mine, do you understand?" he screeched at her before taking a breath and crouching to her level brushing her hair away gently "You know that don't you? That you're mine?" he asked her quietly.
They knew immediately that Danni wasn't going to play his game. They knew that she knew that either way she was going to be beaten so she wasn't going to make it fucking easy for the bastard. Sure it'd be worse for her but she didn't give a shit.
Danni looked up at Sanders and whispered "I'm not yours…I'll never be yours" and just to piss him off she added "I am and always will be Juice's"
They heard a loud crack signalling another slap but this time is sounded like a punch accompanied it and again they fought their instincts to yell curses at the bastard.
"I will make you mine Danielle! You are mine! Don't you dare defy me again! Do you understand?" he screamed at her.
"Go. To. Hell." She spoke slowly and individually and got a punch to the ribs and a back hand to the cheek for it.
"You'll see it my way eventually Danielle. I'll make sure of it" he said.
They heard the sound of footsteps and then a door opened and closed. Danni's sigh came through the phone and they were sure she was alone so Clay nodded to Juice and he spoke into the phone hoping she'd hear him even if it wasn't on speaker phone.
"Danni?" he asked into the phone and was met by silence "Danni baby?" again silence came though the phone "Danni?" he asked louder than the last time.
"What the fuck?" Danni mumbled looking at her phone.
"Babe, can you hear me?" Juice asked her through the phone.
"Juice?" she asked half in confusion half in complete relief.
A simultaneous sigh of relief went around the room "Yeah baby, we're all here" he assured her and then asked "Do you know where you are Danni?"
"Jesus Christ" she sighed in relief and fear since they must have heard everything "Em…no I don't know where I am. He knocked me out before we got here and there's only one window in the room but it's too high up to see from my position…I'm cuffed to the bed so I can't get up and look out" she informed them.
They were disappointed and even more worried but they kept it to themselves "Ok, alright, babe what happened when you left?" Juice asked her trying to at least sound calm.
She knew him better than that and knew he was far from calm but she didn't comment so as to not make it worse "He's insane. It was a while and I realised that we weren't going to the station so I asked him and he started going on about admiring me and that he couldn't help but love me after looking through my life…fuck knows why it ain't exactly a fairy tale. Now he wants us to be together…he's creepy and delusional…and he has a gun" she rambled before stopping as she unintentionally worried them more.
Juice looked up at the others not knowing what to do or say now. Clay put a hand on his shoulder and spoke into the phone "Ok baby listen. We're gonna go out and hunt around for some information Ok? You hang tight for us yeah?" he asked her.
Danni took a deep breath. She didn't want to scare them anymore than necessary so she replied calmly "Yeah dad, ok"
"Someone's gonna be on the line the whole time Danni alright? It won't always be us all but someone will be here listening ok?" Jax asked his sister before clearing the lump that had started forming. He would not lose his sister, it just wasn't an option.
"Yeah ok Jax, go do what you gotta do" she replied voice clear of tremors or anything else.
Juice handed the phone to Gemma as the guys geared up and he said "We're heading out now Danni. We're never far baby and we're coming for you alright? I love you" he said as he got ready to leave.
"Yeah baby I got it. Love you too" she replied strongly trying to ignore the pain in her head and ribs.
The guys nodded to the women and then they were out the door looking for something, anything to help them right now.
"Hey dove, you holding up ok?" Gemma asked her daughter.
Danni held back her tears "Yeah mom, you know me. I'll be fine, not gonna let the bastard win" she said with a clear voice.
"We'll find you Danni, don't you worry" Tara said softly.
"Yeah I know, I can't wait to see Sanders face when you do" she said.
OoOoOoO
Two days later they weren't any closer to finding out where Sanders had taken her. No one knew a god damn thing and Sanders wasn't giving anything away to Danni when she asked questions. Juice had broken earlier that day and punched his hand through a car window. Gemma had cried a little trying not to show it and not give up hope while Jax and Clay tried to comfort her passed their own grief. They were all working round the clock to find something but nothing ever came up.
Sanders had been more physical with Danni and kept repeating that she was his over and over. They knew by now she would be black and blue all over by the amount of times they heard her get hit and there wasn't a god damn thing they could do about it. Danni had become less and less mouthy towards Sanders like she was beginning to lack the energy or something and that worried them more.
All the guys were out again looking for anything while the girls were with the kids in another room at the clubhouse so Gemma asked her daughter "How are you really doing dove?"
There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Danni was lying on the bed bleeding from her neck and head, throbbing all over and she couldn't stop anymore "Who's in the room?" she asked.
"It's just me baby" she replied and waited. There was about two minutes before Danni spoke.
"I…I can't mom…I'm tired, thirsty, hungry…I'm in sooo much pain. I think I'm starting to go numb and it's only been three days. All of me is throbbing, I'm bleeding, I'm dirty…it's been a few days mom. He said a few days and he'd…I can't" she mumbled.
Gemma put her hand over her mouth before taking a breath and speaking "I can't imagine what you're going through right now dove. I…I wish I was there…"
"No" Danni interrupted "I don't wish that. If you were here you'd be hurt to and that…I wouldn't be able to handle that" she said and then she paused and sighed heavily "But I can't anymore mom. I know that the guys have tried sooo hard to find me and I love them so much for that but…they can't find anything and I can't get out of these god damn cuffs. I don't know what I'm supposed to do" she confided.
"Baby the only thing I can say is try and keep fighting. I know it's not much and I know it's hard but…right now it's all we have" she said softly to her daughter.
Danni had silent tears running down her cheeks but she didn't let her mom know that she was beginning to break like that "Yeah, I'll fight, don't worry" she said composing herself.
Gemma had failed to notice that everyone had entered the room as she waited for Danni's response after saying she was the only one in the room. But when she realised she didn't tell Danni instead they made it seem like they only just arrived.
Juice was about to say something when they heard the door open on the other end of the line again and he shut his mouth to wait for what would happen.
"Danielle, I have to say I'm disappointed. I thought you would have come around by now" Sanders said "Am I not being forceful enough?" he asked and hit her on the face again "Well, no matter. Like I said it's been a few days so I'm going to have to start making you obey me" he said.
They all shared panicked looks with each other. No, no, no, this wasn't happening. They had to do something, but they had no fucking idea where to start.
"I'll be leaving for a few hours and when I get back we'll start ok? It'll be painful but I'll have to be forceful and probably get you to a numb state so that you won't fight us and then we'll consummate our love" he told her and she sat silently not sparing him a glance.
"Look at me when I talk to you!" he demanded and jerked her face around.
"Fuck you" she said in a tired voice but it got the point across. He smacked her on her already sore cheek and leaned in close to her so Danni head butted him hard making him stumble back into the table. She was trying to show her family that she hadn't lost her fight even though she knew it wouldn't be long until she did. Sanders stood again with a cut on his head and a burst lip and punched her again.
"Yes, we'll definitely start as soon as I get back" he confirmed and then marched from the room. As soon as Danni heard the sound of his car leaving she yanked and pulled at the cuffs causing her already sore wrists to bleed even more. She stopped after a few minutes and sighed before she spotted a nail sticking out of the wooden bed ever so slightly. She couldn't pull it out but she started to use her fingers to pull at the wood around the nail making her fingers bleed badly. It was an extremely slow process.
"Danni babe? What are you doing?" Juice asked her.
"Trying to get the hell outta these cuffs while he's gone" she replied.
"How?" Chibs asked her.
"I'm trying to dig a nail out of the wood" she informed them as she worked.
"Ouch" Tig mumbled thinking of her fingers.
"Yeah" she muttered and then they were all quiet as she worked. It was two hours later that she finally managed to get a good grip on the nail and as she pulled more of her skin was ripped at and bloodied but she kept on pulling until she got it out "Yes!" she cheered.
"You get it?" Half-Sack as they all surrounded the phone again from where they had been scattered around the room.
"Yeah…give me a minute" she said and they waited in silence. A few minutes later she got the cuffs unlocked and breathed a sigh of relief "Got em'" she said.
"Good girl, can you get to the window now?" Piney asked her. After some fumbling and a chair being dragged across the floor she spoke.
"Erm…I see trees, lots and lots of trees" she said sighing at the uselessness of it all "Is that…I think I see a really bright pink light" she said in confusion.
"A bright pink light?" Bobby asked frowning.
"Yeah…really far in the distance" she added.
"Oh! The pink ladies club. Their sign is pink and it's near the edge of town where there are lots of trees" Cherry piped up with a shrug as if to say she wasn't sure.
"Right, we'll check it out" Clay said.
"I ain't staying in here. I'm getting out right now" Danni informed them and she picked up her phone making her way through the cabin towards the front door "Whoa" she muttered as she got dizzy.
"What? Are you ok?" Jax asked worriedly.
"Yeah, just got a bit dizzy" she replied.
"We're on our way baby, we'll be there as soon as" Juice said as the guys pilled out.
"Alright" she said warily as she began to venture into the trees.
OoOoOoO
Danni had been wandering for a few minutes trying to move towards the bright pink light that she saw but it was difficult with the trees often obscuring the light. She was just trying to find the got damn road but it seemed impossible and she was slowing down as her wounds and tiredness weighed down on her.
"How you doing dove?" Gemma asked.
"Feel like I'll collapse any minute" she mumbled like it took too much energy to talk. Her phone was in the pocket of her dress so she didn't have to carry it while wandering through the fucking trees.
"Hang tight Danni" Tara said.
"Yeah, they're almost there I'm sure" Donna added.
Danni hadn't heard Sander's car but she sure as hell heard the cabin door slam shut as he yelled "DANIELLE!" and she froze for a moment before continuing.
"Fuck, is he back?" Cherry asked.
"Yeah" she said but she was too tired to move any faster than she already was though she could hear him catching up to her easily "He's gonna catch me" she stated tiredly.
There was silence for a moment "It'll be ok baby, the guys are on their way…it'll be ok" she repeated probably for herself.
"Danielle!" Sanders shouted again but he didn't need to. She would have heard him at his normal voice he was so close.
A hand grabbed her suddenly "There you are! How dare you leave the house! How did you get out of your cuffs!" he shouted at her all at once as he dragged her back. She stumbled and fell the whole way back as he pulled her along and she hated that she was so weak now that she couldn't even fight him.
When they exited the trees Sanders pushed her into the cabin first following close behind and she fell to her knees as her pain caught up to her. She wasn't going to stay on her knees for this asshole so she sucked it up and forced herself to stand up again "Still stubborn and disobedient I see" he said in disappointment "Let's get started on that shall we?" he said pulling his gun.
As he pressed the gun to her head and ripped the bottom of her dress so there was a large slit up her thigh the backdoor got broken down and in walked most of her guys "Don't come closer or I'll shoot" Sanders said pressing the gun harder into her head and they stopped a few feet from them "You told them where you were!" he shouted.
"Yeah" she replied "First chance I got"
"Put the gun down" Clay said to him still aiming his own gun but afraid to accidentally hit his daughter.
"Or what you'll shoot me?" he taunted them.
"You hurt her once more and yeah" Jax snapped taking in the sight of his baby sister. There wasn't a patch of skin unharmed.
"You can't hurt me without possibly hurting her" he said bringing her further in front of him
They were all itching to take this fucker down even more so since they saw the state of Danni but they couldn't hurt her. They all started to lower their guns and Danni was a little surprised at whatever tactic they were using here but then she thought where's Juice?
She heard the click of another gun and then "I can" Sanders was on the ground Juice having hit him on the head. Killing him was too easy, let him off. As Danni swayed Juice immediately wrapped her in his arms and she clung to him tightly.
"You got Greg. We got this…take care of her" Clay said nodding to Juice and he nodded easily. He desperately wanted to kill Sanders but Danni was more important.
"Everyone ok?" Gemma asked.
"Yeah baby, Juice is bringing our girl home now" Clay said before Juice lifted Danni and carried her outside as she buried her face in his neck.
"It was him! I knew it was one of you who killed Greg!" Sanders yelled.
"Yeah, but you'll never get the chance to tell anyone" Jax said punching him in the face.
"Jesus baby, let me see you" Juice said after turning off her phone and setting her on his bike. He took her face in his hands and his face contorted in pain as he took in her many wounds. He checked her over thoroughly and found nothing that should be lasting damage but he was still worried about her emotionally "Babe…how…I mean this was terrifying…are you…" he struggled.
"Baby" she interrupted tiredly "I'm not ok, I know that. But I will be because I ain't denying it this time. I'll be fine I promise" she soothed and he sighed in relief.
"I love you so god damn much" he said softly leaning his head against her.
"Hm, love you too" she said quietly before he kissed her long, soft and lovingly before pulling back.
"Let's get you home" he whispered and set her more comfortably on the bike in front of him so he could keep her up if need be.
