Chapter 42

Elliot POV

This is fucking bad. Now I really wish I was Iron Man. I noticed that we are out of fuel and realized we are about to crash this chopper. By the look on Anna's face that move was deliberate. The two securities also realize that and attacked Anna then bailed with parachutes the bastards. I leave my seat and untie Taylor and a very frightened Gail. Anna tells us to brace ourselves for a crash landing. Sitting here watching her is amazing in the way she is actually controlling this chopper. She has some mad skills. I can see her right elbow is all swollen were that asshole hit her with the butt of the gun for dumping all the fuel he also jabbed her with some cocktail in a syringe. Luckily with the panic he didn't manage to empty the syringe into her. So what ever it in the syringe she only got a small dose. The amount of pain she should be in is not even showing. Her face is way to calm for my liking. Something is not right although her tears are just rolling down her face. I feel so useless at this point.

"Baby you can do this. I have faith in you. Just listen to my voice it will help you. Do you know what was in the syringe?"

"Thank you Elliot but I am calm. I am wonderful actually. I have not felt this good in a long time. Yes, what they gave me I remember from been with Paul. It is heroine. He used to give it to me all the time. It does not knock me out just makes me float away from all the drama and pain. Eeee...lll.. .oottt….I…ccc…aan…ttt….. dddd….ooooo. th…..iiisssss."

I managed to slur the last bit of my answerer. My head is in the clouds but I need to land this chopper and soon before the drugs take full effect I can do this. I have to keep my family safe. They are depending on me and I will not let them down.

Taylor POV

Oh hell fuming no. Just as I fucking suspected. Fuck and now the only pilot is high on fucking heroine. Amazing, she is still in control of this beast. I realize it has come from all the times she has used drugs, and now her system still remembers and it is easier for her to control it. She is too calm for this situation but I guess been that high does that to a person. What the fucking hell was she thinking when she dumped our fuel. This is so fucked up. We have a fucking drugged up pilot, to crash-land this chopper. And she had 3 passengers with her. Gail is frantic here next to me. I am directly behind the pilot seat and bracing for the impact. I have to just hold onto her for dear life. I know Bulldog and Grey will be very near when we crash this chopper, because they are probably tracking Anna's anklet tracker at this very moment. This beautiful, wonderful, brilliant, sexy young lady landed the chopper with the grace of a pro under the influence of drugs to top it all off. We came down a bit to hard and at a slight left angle. She lander more on the left skid than expected and the chopper tipped right over onto its pilot's side. It was a very rough flip but we were all ok so I let out a huge breath I didn't even know I was holding. Fuck I don't want to fucking fly again.

"Is everybody ok? Anna you are totally amazing. Thank you for getting us safe on the ground. We owe you our lives." I say. Elliot is sitting there stunned he has not moved in a while. His eyes are stuck on Anna. He is is in the same position as Gail. They are hanging from there seats, there bodies held secure to the seat by the seat restraints only.

"O Taylor Baby you are soooooooooo funnyyyyyyy. And Gail I looooooove you guys sooooooo much. I am soooooo happpppy right now. Elllllll whatsssss uppppppp babbbbbby."

Elliot POV

I am hanging here in the air watching looking down at Anna totally stunned at her. She is so out of it she is joking with us. I don't think she even knows what went on.I don't know how she landed this chopper. I don't even think she does. I think she just done what came naturally, probably from all the training. It is a fucking miracle. We came down a bit hard and toppled over to the left side, but it was not too bad. I certainly expected flames or something more dramatic. We will all be sore tomorrow though. Someone is definitely watching over her today. Taylor has unfastened himself and reached over to help Gail and to let her down slowly. Eventually they are both standing in each other's arms in a toppled over chopper waiting for help so we can get hauled out. Gail is crying into his shoulder. I unbuckle my seatbelt and carefully lower myself to help Anna out of her seatbelt. I hold onto her for dear life and a silent tear rolls down my cheek. Why I don't know? I think it is the adrenaline. 10 minutes we just standing there waiting, holding onto each other. She is totally high now and is very content with a huge smile on her face. I can feel her body trembling a bit. We hear vehicles approaching and are all relieved. I knew my baby brother will not disappoint. We all look at each other with smiles. I notice Anna cant even keep her head up anymore. To my delight I look up and see the chopper doors hauled open and there is a very angry and worried looking Bulldog and Christian with their little army peeping down into the chopper.

Everyone POV

Christian – What a fucking big relieve to see my wife in my brother's arm. I was so scared when I saw the toppled over chopper. I can feel a stray tear escape my eye and I wipe it away quickly before anybody notices. I thought I would never see her again. Fuck I can tell something is wrong with her. Her eyes can't even focus. I call out to her and she doesn't even turn to me. We quickly grab rope and secure it, and then Bulldog lowers himself in. They haul Gail out first and we secure her safely on the ground. Then comes Elliot, Taylor and Bulldog come up with my Anna secured around his waist. Fuck this man is very strong. When they get to the top I take her and lower her limp body to Taylor and Elliot on the ground. I notice a swollen right elbow and both her and Taylor have gashes on their heads. I jump down and I rush over to them and scoop her up in my arms and squeeze to me her for dear life. She feels so good in my arms. Bulldog secures the rest of them in the SUV's but I keep my wife on my lap. I can't let her go again. I need her close to me.

"Anna baby I am so sorry. You are safe. I have you. I am never letting you go." I whisper into her ear.

"Crrrrrrrriiiiiissssss issssssss datttttt yooooooooou. IIIIII looooooove yooooooou."

"Taylor what the fuck is wrong with Anna? Why is she slurring her words and cant keep her head up?"

"Sir the men that had us hostage drugged her sir. But she managed to landed that chopper in this state sir, not to mention she might even have a broken elbow from the blow she received fro the butt of that assholes gun sir."

"Oh Fuck Bulldog please we need to get them all to a hospital and have them checked out now."

"Guys Anna said it is Heroin. That was one of the drugs Paul used to give her when she was his slave. I did notice that they didn't give her the entire dose." Elliot tells us.

Bulldog - I am very relieved they are all safe. That was a very close call. My heart stopped when we pulled up to the toppled chopper. We did not know what to expect. It was a miracle she brought the chopper down in one piece but I didn't expect any less from her. It is just so unfair on Anna. What this young lady has been through in the past 3 days is more than most people go through in a lifetime. She needs to catch a break and soon.

I know she was an addict for a year and a half and has been clean for over a year. This little dose could be her downfall if we don't watch out. We are going to have to just keep her very busy all the time so she won't feel the need to keep using. We will up the daily schedule so she is totally spent at the end of each day. She won't have time to think about using. Maybe I will also keep her busy in the gym if her arm is ok. I have wanted to teach her kickboxing for a long time. Now is my chance. I will have to run all this past Christian so he knows the plan.

Anna and Taylor each have a nasty gash on there heads. They will probably need stitches. I think that was when the chopper fell over. There heads must of smashed against the glass windows. Every one of them in that chopper is going to have serious whiplash. They will all feel it in the morning.

I have notified the family that everybody is safe and accounted for. I made the Steele's aware of the high Anna is in and for them to remove all medication from the house and to secure it in the security office. They asked us if we can stop by a supermarket and pick up cases of coke for her need for caffeine. Luckily for us Christian's mother is a doctor so she will help us when we bring Anna home. I am taking them for a check up at Hibiscus Private Hospital to be sure all is ok. I also have two teams of men retrieving the crashed chopper.

Gail – I cannot control my body from trembling. That was the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I know I am going to have nightmares for a long time. I might have to go see Dr. Flynn after this holiday. I am relieved we are all safe and those stupid men did not take Anna. The doctor checked Taylor and I out and told us we can go home. Taylor has a slight gash on his head and had to get 12 stitches but he is ok. I just need a long hot bath and a huge glass of wine.

Taylor – My head is fucking killing me 12 stitches later and a hand full of pills and I am discharged from the hospital. I am going to have a scar from this injury. My Gail is perfect so she didn't need to stay either. We are on our way to find the boss and check on the others. I need to get home and have a long shower then bury myself in my Gail. This has been one stressful day. Alex did notify me the two Fuckers have been arrested so everything should calm down from now on. I was also informed the entire security team has been replaced with Anna's old crew so we wont have anymore surprises when it comes to the security.

Elliot – I have a clean bill of health so I am trilled. The doctor did say I would be very sore tomorrow. I am on my way to find my baby brother when I bump into Gail and Taylor. They inform me they are all released and are also looking for Anna. Taylor had a few stitches but is fine. We find them in a private room and Christian is busy signing her discharge papers. Anna sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed with a plaster on her forehead like Taylor's. Christian informs us she also has 12 stitches in the exact same place as Taylor and a fractured elbow. Her right arm is in a L-shaped black delta dry cast. It will take about 6 weeks to heal. They told us the drugs will were off on their own in about 2 hours time but she will be craving bad after that so we are going to have to keep a close eye on her and keep her busy. She is lucky she did not get the full dose or things would be a lot worse for her.

We had to stop at the supermarket and stock up on coke for Anna. Bulldog jumped out to go in but Anna insisted she will go with. Of course Christians was not letting her out of his sight so he followed her in. Her excuse was she needed something. When they returned to the car we all laughed at the sight of these to buff men pushing a trolley each behind a tiny Anna. It looked like they bought the whole shop out of cans of coke and chocolates. She probably said she was wishing for chocolate and Christian went over board as usual.

Once we get home Christian disappears with Anna to get her cleaned up. The entire family, were hovering over us but we needed to rest. We all went to our own rooms to chill. The place were we will be staying is very cool. It is like a ranch. We can tour it tomorrow when we fell better.
