Taylor POV

Fuck it's been 3 fucking weeks and still no Ana. There has been a ransom demand for $30 million for her safe return. Grace was returned home 2 weeks ago with a few bruises but she is ok. The boss is walking around like an empty shell of a man. Everyone is feeling the strain. I have never seen him so broken before. Him, Jake and Elliot have practically moved into GEH. I had cots brought into the gym for naps and gail has been supplying the meals. It's amazing how close the boss and Jake have become they are actually leaning onto each other for strength. We asked for proof that she is alive. Grace confirmed she was with Ana the first day. And Ana insisted they let her go or she was not helping them. That was 3 weeks ago and Grace mentioned Matt was beating Ana up. She is such a strong person. I know her survival instincts to protect those babies will kick in. She is waiting for the right moment. We are sitting in front of the huge screen when it comes alive. I guess this is our proof of life we asked for. There is Ana all beaten up cuffed to a dirty bed. In walk Matt and Carla. I don't think they realize the camera is on them idiots. They go to Ana and talk to her.

"Now Mrs. Grey we need you to be nice. We are going to un-cuff you and sit you on the chair. Ok?" Ana nods. Carla walks out the room leaving only Matt and Ana. I can't believe a mother would treat her own daughter like this.

"If you try anything stupid I will kill little Mia Grey. Do you want that? Yes, don't look so surprised we have her chained up upstairs. She has been here the whole time. We picked her up when we picked Dr. Grace. Now don't try anything stupid you little bitch or she dies." Fuck they are playing her. Mia is here with us and safe. Fuck. The boss is staring at the screen with such hatred. I can see his whole body is trembling and he has tear stains on his face. Then I notice the look on Ana's face and she glances to the newspaper and I know what she is doing. She is so smart.

"Christian Ana is going to make a move to escape. Look on the bed there is today's paper. She has seen Mia is safe. She knows he is lying to her. She is going to play his bluff sir. We need to know were she is so we can get to her fast. Elliot get Jake out of her now." There is no way he is watching this footage.

"Matt I will not do anything to jeopardize Mia's life. What do you want me to do? I will do it if you promise to keep her safe." She has noticed the camera is on. She smirks at us like she knows we are watching her. He unties her and sits her on a chair. She flexes her arms out to loosen her muscles but I can see she is in some pain.

"Ok Ana f you play nice I will promise to keep Mia safe."

"Matt were are we?" Cleaver girl keep him distracted and get information from him.

"Baby girl we are in the woods, do not worry no body is going to come and rescue you here. We had to leave town because of your husband's security. This is one of my sister's ex-husbands properties up south. Once we have the money we asked for, you and I can disappear forever. We will go to my home and you and I will be married baby."

Fuck Ana is good. Welch immediately starts checking Linc's records for properties south. He has 3. We dispatch the teams to search all 3 properties. We have word there is movement in one so we all climb into the SUV's. Christian had the tablet still running with the live feed. Luke is driving so we can watch Ana. She is talking again.

"Ok but you have to promise me that if I go with you after this you will not hit me again." Then the fucker goes up to her and slaps her across the face twice. Its so loud is bounced off the car interior. Grey closes his eyes tight to reigns in his temper. His breathing is so harsh I fear he is going to crack.

"Ana don't you ever fucking give me an ultimatum again. Do you fucking hear me bitch. I am sick and tired of you and that fucking bitch of a whore mother you have. You are just as pathetic and useless like her."

"You are going to fucking regret you ever laid a fucking hand on me. You fucking asshole." Fuck Ana sounds so angry.

"Fuck you Mrs. Grey." And he punches her in the ribs six times with all his force. You can see on her face she is holding in the pain. He definitely broke something. Grey completely looses it and me and Elliot have to pin him down into the seat till he calms down or he will drive us off the road. This is so fucking stressful. I can feel the whole SUV rock with the bosses struggling. When he eventually calms down a bit, he focuses on her again. She is going to kill this fucker I can tell by the look in her eyes. Her father has taught her to survive at any cost and that is what she is doing now.

Then she snaps her neck and as he turns away from her she braces herself and grabs his head on either side and she spins her body with the right amount of force and we all hear the snap echo in the SUV and he drops dead to the floor. We are all sitting there in shock. She fucking snapped his neck with the speed and precision of a warrior. Fuck I can see Christian, Brax and Elliot all pale. The boss is stunned. Ray would have been so fucking proud of his little girl. Eliot looses his lunch out the SUV side window and Brax has his head out the front one. i want to laugh but this is not the time. its a good thing the boss did not eat today or he would have messed the SUV interior.

Ana POV

As Matt hits the floor the door opens and I run and come face to face with my mother. She has a gun to my head. I still fell the adrenalin course in my veins but I have to protect my babies. I could take her down without any stress but with the gun on me I have to be careful. My ribs are also protesting a little making it harder to move around. This bitch will let her guard down at some point.

"Now why did you knock Matt out cold you little bitch? Now I have to wait for him to get up. You always seem to know how to fuck things up for us. I wish you were never fucking born. You were the biggest mistake of my fucking life."

She smacks me with the butt of the gun above my eye and splits my skin I can feel the blood running down my face. She makes me back up a bit just in line for the camera to see me then the Bitch shoots me in the thigh. Fuck that hurt like a bitch. I know Christian and them saw the whole thing play out because this was a live feed. My poor husband must be dying. I take a few deep breaths then pounce for her. She shoots one more shot off before I knock the gun from her hand. The bitch caught me in the right shoulder. I scramble for the gun and it is just out of reach so I kick the chair at her. That does not help because she picks it up and almost hits me with it. i manage to crawl for the gun and I aim and fire one shot square between the eye and she drops into a heap on the floor. I notice we are in a cabin. I am feeling week from the blood loss but I have to get out of here. I have to get to safety. I step outside and realize its morning. The sun feels so good on my skin but my eyes are killing me. I can hear tyre's coming down the driveway then it goes black.

Christian POV

I keep telling myself to be strong. I have to for her. I wanted to murder someone when I had to witness my wife been beaten up. My heart broke. I have to bring her home safe. When that bitch shot my baby twice I closed my eyes cause I could not take anymore. I have been suffering for three fucking long weeks without her. It's so fucking hard. The only thing keeping me sane at this point is my promise to Ana. She and I made a promise to keep Jake safe and happy and that's what I have been trying to do. He is a lovely boy. Ana is going to enjoy him. When the third shot went off I went numb. I don't know if Ana shot her or if Ana got shot but there was nothing after that.

We are pulling up to a cabin and we see someone standing there on the porch then they drop. As the car stops I jump out and take notice of the leather pants. I run when I realize it's my Ana that has just collapsed.

"Ana it is me baby. Wake up for me please Ana. I got you." She opens her eyes a little bit and looks at us standing around and says.

"Took you'll long enough to get here. What was the delay?" At least her smart mouth put a smile on our faces. And she passes out again. I am so happy just then the ambulance comes and they stabilize Ana. I ride with her to the hospital refusing to leave her side. I am so happy she is ok.

Elliot POV

It's finally over. 3 fucking weeks of pain and torture living out from GEH and not knowing if Ana was safe. The medics said she is going to be just fine. She is a bit dehydrated and has a lot of blood loss. I could see the relief in my baby brother. He has been taking this very hard. We walk into the house with the police and find both Matt and Carla dead. I walk out the house and loose more of my breakfast. I wait in the SUV for Taylor to do a clean up. He comes out and says we can go to the hospital. I don't thing I will ever be able to get that look in Ana's eyes out of my head just before she took Matt down.

We get to the hospital an hour later and I am immediately escorted to Ana's room. There are two guards outside her room. The rest of the family has not arrived yet. When we enter we are shocked into silence. She is sitting on the bed in between Christian's legs with her back to his chest and eating a fucking Sloppy Joe burger. I cant help but burnt into laughter this is so fucking unreal.

"Ana!" Is all I can manage? I walk over to her and take her into my arms. It feels so good to have her back.

"Elliot I am ok. I am safe now but you are squashing my bruised ribs. And the babies are doing wonderful. Can I get back to my meal please?" This makes my little bro burst into laughter and it is so fucking wonderful to see him like this again. They explain Ana didn't need surgery because the bullets went right through. her ribs are sore but will heal without any problems and so will all of the other bumps and bruises.

"What the fuck Ana? Is your husband allowing you to eat that and were the fuck did that come from?"

"Elliot fuck off bro. Ana can have what she wants, she has been through a tough time and my security men went for them."

"Them I am starving. Were are the rest?" He points to the table and I dig in. Fuck the food tastes so good.

"Congratulations to both of you I am so happy to be an uncle. I just hope they are as good looking as me."

"Fuck you Elliot my kids are going to look nothing like you're fucking ass." This gets us all in a fit of laughter.
