~Chapter 2~

~Julietta's Pov~

I stayed quiet as the subjects drove into traffic. I had no idea where we're going. I couldn't see or feel anything that felt familiar about our route that we took. We were driving so fast I lost track.

?: So officer. How does it feel to lose a case.

Me: You haven't won yet.

?: Please. We had everything planned out.

Then I felt a hot breath on my neck.

?: And we got a second prize as a bonus.

I began to feel rough fingers 'fingering' my zipper to my uniform. I began to breathe a little deeper.

?: Quit flirting with the hostage John. We need her to get us across the border.

John: Shut up Rick! You just blew my cover.

Rick: So what? Nothing is watching us. Right Toby.

Toby: Right bossman. What do we do with her after?

?: Maybe dump her in the desert.

Rick: Not a bad idea Roy.

John: After I'm done with her.

Rick: Maybe.

John: So beautiful. What do you think of this?

I couldn't answer him since I didn't know what was he talking about.

Toby: Hey he asked you a question.

Me: I don't know.

John: How can you not know? Have you ever been with a real man before?

Me: Not really. And I don't see one either.

I then felt a slap on my face. I was so hard it knocked off my glasses so I closed my eyes.

John: Look at me.

Me: No.

John: Look at me!

Rick: Shut up man. Look we have to stop for the night. Its getting dark and we need to refuel too.

It's night already? It felt like we were driving for about five hours not seven. We then stopped somewhere.

Rick: Toby get her some clothes to change into. We don't want anyone to get suspicous of her.

Toby: Right.

He opened the door and I heard it shut.

Roy: I never seen a cop so scared.

Me: I'm not scared. My face hurts that's all.

Roy: Then look at us in the eye.

Me: No.

Rick: Weirdo. When Toby comes back you go get us some food and meet us in the hotel room.

He must have nodded because I didn't hear a responce. After I while I heard the door open and close and again at the passanger side. I felt materal being thrown at me.

Rick: Put those on.

Me: Can you guys wait outside? I may be a hostage but I'm still a lady.

I waited for a moment.

Rick: Fine. You got five minutes.

John: So no funny stuff.

Then I heard three doors open and close. I felt they were still watching me so I began to unzip my uniform and took it off. I was in nothing but my bra and underwear and I felt something cold touch my neck. I reached for it and it was my birthday locket. Spike gave it to me on my first birthday that I had with SRU. It was so sweet. He said it was an Ittalian locket made out ofsteel and gold. I knew it must have costed him a lot but he told me not to worry about it. I then sighed. Oh Spike where are you? I then felt a small beeping coming from it. Like a tracking device. I then smiled at his genious work. Please find me soon. I then changed into the clothes those guys gave me and found my glasses.


~Spike's Pov~

Its been seven hours since they left and we still can't find them. I was worrying about Juliet. We could lose her. Its all my fault. I should have stopped her. I was hitting myself on the walls of the van when Ed and Lou came in and stopped me.

Lou: Spike stop it!

Me: I can't. Not while her being out there is my fault.

Ed: Its not your fault Spike. We tried to stop her but she was right. Her blindness is probably the only thing that would make her look vonerable enough to get close.

Me: We should have had that contained before they left with her.

I felt Lou pat my back.

Lou: Its ok man. We'll find her.

Ed: I know we will. Beleive it or not Juliet is a smart and strong girl. She'll be fine.

I then sighed.

Lou: If only we had a perfect shot to place a tracer.

That gave me an idea. I ran out the door to look for Jules.

Ed: Spike!

I ignored them and found Jules crying in Sam's arms.

Me: Jules I need to ask you something. Was Juliet wearing the locket I gave her?

Jules: What?

Me: Did she wear it today?

Jules: She never takes it off why?

Me: I think I may be able to find her.

I ran back to the truck and sat down to a computer. I typed in a special code that lets me track down Juliet's necklace.

Ed: What are you doing?

Me: Finding Juliet.

Lou: How? They stripped her down of her eqipment.

Me: Yes. SRU Equipment. But not Scarlatti Equipment.

Then the boss came in.

Boss: Spike what are you doing.

Me: Just watch.

Then I hit the last command button and the computer transmetted a location that was 3 hours from our location. It was a hotel called Icicle Plaza.

Boss: What's there?

Me: Juliet.

Boss: How?

Me: Remember when we threw the twins a birthday party and I gave Juliet a locket?

Boss: Yeah why?

Me: It has a tracking device in it. I completly forgot about it until now.

Ed: Why would you have a tracking device on her?

Me: So I can help guide her if she needs me. Guys lets go!

Boss: You got it. Team 1 we have a lead you must board the vans and drive to the Icicle Plaza Hotel. Lets move!

Then we all began to moblize and drove in high gear to the hotel. We were all still in contact with each other through the com link.

Boss: They had seven hours so why haven't they crossed the border yet?

Jules: The road blocks maybe?

Ed: They must have drove for hours in circles.

Me: Guys Juliet has an metal map memorized in her head. If she went in circles for hours she might not know where she is.

Jules: Spike, how do you know that?

Me: She's my best friend. We tell each other practically everything.

Lou: And she would be proud that you didn't give up on her.

I smiled a little.

Sam: When we find these guys and if they've hurt her they are going to see an angry Team One.

Ed: Agreed.

Wordy: I second that.


After about an hour and a half we made it there. We got out of the SUVs and secured the perimeter. I found the van they took I looked threw the window and saw Juliet's uniform in the backseat.

Me: Boss they made her change her clothes so she is a suvilean.

Boss: Copy that. I'm going to the front desk.

Me: Copy that I'm on my way as well.

I ran as fast as I could with my weapon to the front desk inside. Boss, Jules, Ed, and Wordy were already there.

Boss: Excuse me ma'am? We're with SRU and we need to know if this woman came in with four guys.

I showed them a picture of Juliet from last week from my phone.

Desk Woman: Yes. She did with four other guys. She wore dark glasses and kept her head down. Until on of them took them off and threw them into the trash.

Me: Did she look hurt?

Desk Woman: She looked like she had a big slap on the face and that's about it? What's going on? Are they criminals?

Ed: The guys she came with are. She was taken hostage 7 and a half hours ago. What room?

Desk Woman: 1259.

Me: Thanks. We then rush up the stair well in formation while Lou monitored from the truck.


~Julietta's Pov~

I was inside the bedroom locked inside with no way out. I would try the window but I didnt know if there was a balcony. So I stayed put while being tied up on the bed. John took away my glasses so I had my eyes shut again. I then heard the door open and close. I felt the bed sink and arms around me . Then a hot breath breathed onto my ear.

John: Miss me beautiful.

Me: No.

John: Come on look at me.

Me: No.

John: Look at me! Tell me I'm handsome.

Me: No.

Then I recived another slap.

John: Look at me!

He slapped me so hand it made me fall down to my back. Since I was in a dress my legs were easily seporate. I couldn't fight back since my hands we tied and now they were tied to the bed frame.

John: Now open those eyes. I want to see them.

He began to feel and touch me.

Me: Never!

He growled and got off me for a moment. I heard ruffling coming from a bag and he came back onto the bed I felt a sharp metel tip on my torso I felt it slide down on the dress I wore and I heard a rip. I then knew what he was doing. But it stopped to my mid torso. I then felt the knife on my skin of my wrists. He began to press down and I screemed. Which made me open my eyes.

John: See. That wasn't so hard...what the heck?! What's up with your eyes?

Me: I'm blind dipstick.

John: That explains things. And made things even more interesting.

I then felt him explore my body and his crusty lips touch my chest and I whinned. Then I heard a knock on the door from the front door. I smiled at the voice.

Boss: Police! SRU open the door!

John then panicked and untied me from the post. I then felt him pick me up and heard the creaking of an old door and he dropped me through it. He closed it and I heard something move. He was moving something to block the door. I tried to make as much noise as I could. I heard gunshots and shuffling of feet everywhere.

Boss: Alright guys she's got to be here. I want this whole hotel room turned upside down.

Me: Here! I'm in here!

Ed: No luck.

Spike: Wait did you hear that?

I smiled a little.

Me: Spike! I'm in here!

Jules: Spike I heard it too. She's calling for you.

I heard the door open.

Ed: Juliet?

Me: In here! Something is blocking the trap door.

Ed: The desk. Boss help me move it.

I heard it move and I kick the door open.

Spike: Juliet!

Me: Spike where are you?

I tried to move my hands but I felt someone untie both my hands and feet.

Spike: Its ok Juliet. I'm here.

A hand took both of my hands and guided me to a face. I felt it and I knew it was Spike.

Me: Spike.

Spike: I'm here Juliet.

I felt him pick me up into his arms bridle style and carried me out. I then was placed on a gurny for medics to check me out.

Me: Did you get them?

Spike: Yeah. 2 are dead but we arrested two of them.

Me: Will you go with me when I give my statement?

Spike: Sure.

Jules: You have us worried baby sister.

Ed: Yeah. Especially Spike over here.

Me: Really?

Spike: Yeah. You're my best friend.

I smiled as he gave me a sideways hug. Then we all left to go back to SRU headquarters. I went to the bathroom and changed my clothes to bag the dress for evidence. I then sighed since I just had a subject sexually touch me. After I changed I heard a knock on the door.

Spike: Hey Juliet you decent?

Me: Yeah. Come on in.

So he did and took my hand. I smiled and gave him a hug. He hugged back. He then kissed my forehead and walked me out the room and building so he can take me home.
