Chapter 20: Rescue Me
I sense someone in the room and I open my eyes and see Xavier standing over me.
"Today's the day cutie", he says and sits in the chair in front of me.
My body fills with dread as I wonder what Xavier and Kitten had planned for me. My eyes sting with tears that won't fall because I am so tired and dehydrated.
"Don't worry cutie, your suffering will end soon", Xavier says and leaves the room.
Richard's POV
The police started posting wanted posters for Kitten and Xavier around town. The police had finally arrested Kitten and brought her in for questioning. They arrested her while she was at a hardware store as soon as the owner of the store saw her, he called the police. I drove to the police station as soon as I got the call. I arrive at the police station as soon as Officer Martin sees me he walks over.
"Has she said anything?" I ask.
He shakes his head, "No, but we are still questioning her, and searching her personal effects and home for clues", he says.
I sigh in frustration, 'What could she possibly be planning' I think to myself.
"Would you like to take a look at her personal effects, maybe you will see something we didn't", he says.
"Sure", I say.
Officer Martin nods and hands me a bag, "You can sit at my desk", he says.
We walk over and I sit at his desk, I dump the contents of the bag on to the table, a purse a sweater, and some rope, I freeze in horror and I have a sense that the rope has something to do with Kori. I look more closely at the rope and notice something; something in my mind finally clicks.
"I need to talk to Kitten", I say.
Xavier is pacing around in the room and I can tell that there is something wrong. He is constantly checking his watch and continues pacing around the room. He checks his watch glances at me.
"Time to go", he says and leaves the room, he comes back in the room with a cloth in his hand. I can smell the chloroform as he approaches me.
"Bottoms up", he says and rips the tape off my mouth and replaces it with the cloth.
I awake in total darkness in a moving object; I realize that I am in the trunk of the car. I try to scream but my throat is dry and the tape over my mouth prevents me. I feel fearful as I have a pretty good guess at what Xavier is planning next but I hope I am wrong.
"I know where you're keeping Kori", I say and through the rope on the table of the interrogation room.
Kitten smiles, "Well congrats Dickie-Poo but your too late", she says.
My blood begins to boil, "Why would you do this?" I ask.
"If I can't have you no one can", she says.
I shake my head and leave the interrogation room,"Kori is in trouble we need to move fast", I say.
The trunk opens and I am blinded by a light and the smell of saltwater hits me. I try to kick Xavier in the chin but he is too quick, Xavier pulls me out of the trunk and throws me to the ground he gives me swift kick in the rings and drags me by the arm toward the pier.
"Ready for a swim", he says.
My eyes widen in horror, 'He is going to drown me' I think to myself.
Xavier drags me across the pier while I try to tug out of his gasp; I try to scream but the tape over my mouth muffles my cries for help.
We finally reach the end of the pier and Xavier pulls a gun out of his belt.
"This is just for reinforcements, your official story of death is going to be that you drowned to death", he says.
He points the gun at me and images of my life begin to flash inside my mind.
"Surfs up cutie", Xavier says.
I close my eyes and picture Richard's face one last time, 'I love you' I think to myself.
Suddenly I see sirens in the distance, I open my eyes and see cops cars pull up, and the officers get out of the car with their guns drawn pointed at Xavier.
"Police! Drop your weapon and get down on the ground!" they yell.
Xavier still has his gun pointed at me something behind him attracts my attention as I see Richard standing being held back by two officers he gazes at the scene in pure horror and looks Xavier with fury then his eyes lock on mine. My heart suddenly starts beating faster as soon as I see him. My feet begin to move toward him and as I pass Xavier I hear the sound of a gunshot.
I wake up to the sound of faint beeping and realize that I am in a hospital room. I look to my left and see Richard sitting in a nearby chair.
"Kori", he says my name and breathes a sigh of relief.
"Hi Richard", I say. I look around disoriented my entire body feels weak, my head hurts and my body aches; I am hooked up to an IV and an electrocardiogram. I suddenly remember Xavier kidnapping me and tears form in my eyes.
"Shh Kori its ok", he says and strokes my cheek, "Your safe now", he says and kisses my forehead.
"I was so scared", I say.
"Me too, I was so afraid I would never see you again", Richard says and I see tears are forming in his eyes too he kisses my hand and rubs it gently.
"What happened?" I ask.
"The police arrested Kitten and brought her in for questioning, I looked through some of her stuff and notice some rope, I had seen it before at the pier and I-", he says.
"You knew where to find me", I interrupt.
"Right, so we went to the pier and that's when", he says but I stop him.
"You don't have to finish I know what happens next", I say, "Is Xavier de-", I say.
"No he's still alive the police shot him in the leg , he has been treated at the hospital and released and he is back in jail awaiting trial, this time the police are making sure he isn't getting out, Kitten has been charged as well", he says.
"So it's over", I say.
Richard nods, "Yes, they can't hurt you anymore Kori", he says.
I breathe a sigh of relief, 'It's over I am finally safe' I think to myself. I feel exhausted and my eyes feel heavy with sleep.
"Richard can you do me a favor?" I ask.
"Anything", he says.
"Can you stay with me tonight? I don't want to be alone", I say.
Richard kicks off his shoes and gets into bed with me, he wraps his arm around me and I lay on his chest and the sound of his heartbeat begins to soothe me.
Richard kisses my forehead, "I love you", he says.
"I love you too", I reply and drift off to sleep.
