His plan was slowly coming together, to get Rose so far gone she would do anything for him without having to threaten anyone, well maybe he'd still have to keep his staff' under control but he wouldn't need to threaten her, she was moaning the name he'd hated so much, telling him she wanted more and not to stop as they moved together under the bedclothes.
Rose had been determined she wasn't going to enjoy this, she was going to pretend it was finally the Doctor making love to her but she was calling Kevin's name over and over, he'd got her so worked up, she would be coming back for more without him asking her. He hadn't expected her to fully give herself to him, it was a pleasant bonus that she was doing so, he knew it was too late now to stop and so did Rose, she was already knew there was no going back if she didn't yell for him to stop but part of her didn't want him to - she was too far under his spell now.
As Kilgrave gave his all, Rose collapsed and called his name again, perhaps it wasn't so bad hearing it after all, he thought, though he'd hated it since his parents conducted the experiments on him when he was younger. He flopped over onto his back, trying to catch his breath and knew instantly all the others he'd taken to bed had been nothing compared to Rose, she was his and he knew it.
Rose was slowly becoming aware of her surroundings, never in her life feeling like that before. She'd not resisted him, there had been no point in doing so and now she would never break free of him, she would be addicted to him and do whatever he asked, the little resistance she'd had was all but gone now, some Torchwood agent she was when she couldn't fight off a man.
Kilgrave got out of bed, reaching for his shorts, throwing Rose her nightdress, like he was giving her a reward.
"That was exceptional Rose, outstanding."
"You were pleased?"
"Oh yes, I was pleased," he told her, sitting on the edge of the bed and pulling his shorts up as Rose put on the nightdress, he'd not offered to let her wear any underwear she noted.
While Rose had given herself to Kilgrave, Pete, Jake and Mickey had been talking about what Pete wanted to talk to Kate's captain about.
"So do you think the chief constable will agree to sending someone over, to help look for Rose?" Mickey asked him.
"I hope so Mickey, that's if I get the agreement of that Captain Gates, Kate says she's fair but tough. I still don't know if we can seriously associate Rose's disappearance with this man dressed in purple. What do you think Mickey? Has she talked about the Doctor lately? Is she likely to have gone off with one of his look-a likes?"
"She never got over him Pete, we all know how she could be easily convinced if she saw someone who looked exactly like him but thankfully, all files concerning the Doctor are sealed, no-one except us and a select few know about him, so it's safe to assume she's not been led to think it is him. The question is though, is she being held against her will or is she complying?"
"We're not likely to find that out until we get her back. We'll have to hold back tomorrow, you've been around the area that man was last seen, if only we could find out his name, it would help a lot, putting out a wanted poster for him or something. I guess the NYPD will want to know that as much as we do, who he actually is. Did you get anywhere searching our database?"
"No, nothing, it's like he doesn't really exist," Jake told him.
"How can he have remained hidden all this time?" Pete asked.
"What if he's been here in New York for some time but he's managed to escape the attention of the police?" Mickey asked.
"How so?" Pete wanted to know.
"Well, that news vendor said the bloke told him to toss his coffee over him so he did do, what if he'd argued with that other man and told him to go jump under a bus and there just happened to be one passing?" Mickey replied.
"I think I know what you're getting at Mickey," Jake butted in. "You're saying he has some sort of hypnotic effect over people?"
"Well that or mind control but it's a wild guess."
"Maybe not so wild, if he makes people forget they've met him, that would explain why he's not been spotted before. If anyone had asked him to give his name, he would have told them to forget it and they would have done. Mickey, tomorrow, I want a wider search, including the U.S for unusual occurrences, such as people doing strange or even silly things that they had no idea they were doing until afterwards."
"Right boss, you got it, we may be on to something. You should tell the captain that on Monday during your meeting."
"Let's leave that out for now, until we have something, we could be wrong."
"I don't think we are wrong," Jake mused. "If it means finding Rose, we'll split the searches Mickey, I'll do the U.S, you do our database."
They broke off for the night, each of them feeling more optimistic than they'd been the last few days, that along with the news the man they wanted was English, which had narrowed things down somewhat, Pete thought. He was still blaming himself for letting her come back to the hotel on her own, she should have been safe enough, there was a doorman but he must have been looking elsewhere when she was getting out of the taxi but the question was if this man was in the car while she was being kidnapped or had he been waiting wherever he'd stashed her?
The next morning, he phoned Jackie to tell her what they'd discovered so far and to check on Tony.
"He's missing her Pete, he wants to know when you're coming home?"
"Just tell him we'll be back when we can, no need in upsetting him. I'm going to insist we keep this out of the news as much as we can, I'm meeting with Kate's boss in the morning, see what she thinks about it but I think it would do more harm than good since she's not very well known over here."
"Yeah, maybe you're right Pete, it could bring out all the loonies I suppose. What are Jake and Mickey doing?"
"Searching for who we think may be holding her, it's a very loose connection, we may have jumped to the wrong conclusion though, it may not be connected to the case Kate is working on. You remember that case in Broadchurch, that boy who was killed and we kept Rose away from the news because that detective looked like the Doctor?"
"I remember, she would have gone mad if she'd been taking any notice. How many more are there?"
"Hopefully only the four of them though we thought there we only three until we found this one. I'm going to try to get that detective over here to help, we know whoever may have Rose is English, this Alec Hardy may be able to help."
"I hope so. Pete, let me come over if you don't find her by Wednesday, please?"
"You can't do anything Jackie, you'd be stuck in the hotel with me, I'm going nuts in here, trust me. Let's see what happens eh? If I get any solid leads, I'll think about it but I promise you, we will bring her home."
"I know you will Pete, it's just really hard being so far away."
Rose had woken up to find Kilgrave gone and he wasn't in the bathroom, since the door was open. She got up and went to get a quick shower, half wishing he would join her then got a pair of black trousers and a floral top and went into the living room but there was still no sign of him. She looked in the kitchen and saw a note, saying he'd gone to fetch breakfast and wouldn't be long. She wondered why he'd not made anything or expected her to do it.
She quickly tried the other bedroom door but it was locked, of course it was and there was no point in trying the front door. She knew he'd never leave that open and even the patio door was closed and probably locked but she felt different today, not only after having the night of her life but because she had felt all the fight go out of her after she'd given in to him. It wasn't like she'd planned it or anything, he'd been very gentle and he'd really meant it, no-one could have faked it like he'd done, he'd not forced her which she could only imagine had been part of his plan, so he could ultimately gain control of Torchwood through her but at least he wasn't gross and he'd been really good.
He was still the enemy though and if he tried to gain access to Torchwood, she'd have to try and alert them somehow, Jake had set a system whereby if any member was compromised, following certain procedures ensured he was alerted and anyone trying to get into the files would be diverted to a fake website and could be traced providing they were fooled and stayed on long enough.
Kilgrave had got up, seeing Rose was still asleep and decided he'd go find some breakfast, not where he went the other morning in case anyone had been asking about him since that man he'd been arguing with over standing on his foot had met with an unfortunate demise, how was he to know a bus would be passing at that moment, just behind a van?
He walked down the street and found another delicatessen's and went in to wait for his order, staying out of the way and sitting outside until he was called. He went back up to the apartment, hoping Rose was already awake and dressed, though he'd really love to go wake her up, perhaps tomorrow they could linger in bed for a while though but he had to start work, gathering all the information that remained about Torchwood that didn't need an access code, which would come from Rose in a few days time.
His plan had been altered slightly, he'd not intended on her resisting him a bit but last night, she had not been faking that, he had left her in ruins and knew it had been for real.
"Rose, come and help me honey," he called as he struggled to hold the coffee cups on a cardboard holder and the paper carrier with the breakfast sandwiches.
Rose got up and took the coffee from him as he kicked the door shut, Rose wondering if it was locked but somehow it didn't seem as important to her now, he'd slip up and want access to her Torchwood account and he'd get caught, sooner or later, what was the point in angering him by trying to sneak out when he wasn't looking?
He was making her feel this way now, struggling against him would do her no good, she already knew that much and she'd given in to him last night, he'd take that as a sign he could trust her and go out a bit more but he would still take precautions so that she wouldn't turn the staff against him.
They took the things into the kitchen and Rose went to get some plates, Kilgrave smiling at her.
"How are you feeling this morning love?"
"Great, last night was amazing Kevin, you did make me feel special."
"I keep my promises Rose, eat your breakfast before it goes cold. You were fast asleep when I left, did you wonder where I was?"
"Yes Kevin, I didn't get a morning kiss."
"Oh, then we'll have to remedy that, won't we, after breakfast."
"Are we going out today?"
"Where would you like to go?"
"Can we go on that tramway? I've heard about it, my stepfather was going to take me before we left."
"I don't see why not, we'll get a cab to the tram station, it's in Manhattan somewhere."
"Where are we anyway?"
Yeah, like he was going to tell her that. She could make a note of the journey, he'd been careful yesterday though, holding her back while he leaned over to the driver outside central park and when they'd arrived back, they could have been in any street in the city.
"Really Rose? Does it matter?"
"No Kevin, of course not. You could tell me and I would be no wiser. Am I allowed to ask questions?"
"What do you want to ask me?"
"How long do you want me to stay here?"
"As long as you want, you're my guest. I will expect something in return though."
She'd been waiting for that. It would have come sooner or later, he'd had his fun and let her off so far but he meant to get down to business. Now though, things were going to get complicated, she would need all her wits about her to keep from giving him real access and she wondered if he'd be fooled at the plan they had in place for such attempts at breaking into the sealed Torchwood files that were not meant for public viewing, she only had to fool him once though and when he thought he had gained access, it wouldn't take long for Jake to find out who and where that access had been from and hopefully, he'd stay on long enough.
Kilgrave had already told her he was using someone's apartment though but it wouldn't really matter as long as he wasn't using shared internet access, Jake could easily narrow it down to the building and it would only take a brief search but would Kilgrave retaliate? She hoped not, Pete would send trained agents who were much more resistant than she was, Jake for one and Kilgrave would have no power over them even if he threatened the staff.
She was half tempted to get him to do it today as they were alone but he would think she was too keen and get suspicious.
"Of course Kevin, what was it you wanted?"
"All in good time my love, after breakfast, we'll go finish what we missed out on earlier, since you were asleep."
Rose smiled, even though she knew the more he did those things to her he'd done last night, the less resistance she had and it was fading fast.
"Anything you want, I missed you when I woke up."
He told her to leave the breakfast dishes and took her hand, leading her to the bedroom they'd been sharing, letting her get in front and putting his arms around her waist, kissing her neck and shoulder.
"Let me help you undress Rose, then you can pull my jumper off, see, no shirt today."
"Yeah, I can see that Kevin, though I like to unfasten your shirt buttons, it all adds to the excitement. Last night, I never believed it was possible to feel the way you made me feel, it was the most exciting time of my life."
Kilgrave smiled. He'd felt it too, even Jessica had never made him feel like that and he was glad now he'd not gone to seek her out and torment her like he'd planned, he would make her suffer for putting him through all that pain and suffering after he'd somehow survived that incident with the bus, unlike that other women, the name he couldn't remember who had found a link to his past. Now Jessica probably had the contents of the box he'd made her dig up, unless they were lost, he could worry about that later.
What he wanted now was a repeat of last night and if she'd been awake earlier, he would have already have done so, he had her so hooked on him now, he didn't even need to control her fully. As Rose reached for his jumper, he pulled it over his head and laid her down, she was reaching her arms to pull him closer. He hovered over her as she put her hands on his shoulders, he leaned down to kiss her exposed skin and she moved her hands around his neck.
"Kevin, make me feel like I did last night."
"Oh, I will my love but first, I want to take my time and get a good look at you."
Before they knew it, they had changed places and Rose was astride him, his hands all over her and then he flipped her over one final time and lay on her after he made her quiver once again.
Pete had left Jake and Mickey going over more information, Jake had just got into the NYPD and was running photos of every known foreign national in the country, hoping that if the man they were seeking had an English accent, he would have been noticed when he'd entered the country even if he'd not come directly from England. It was going to take some time so Pete decided he needed to relax and went down to the spa after calling Castle.
Castle and Kate were trying not to think about his friend's missing daughter and were going over what this mysterious man dressed in purple had to do with things.
"I hope the captain sees things Pete's way when he meets her tomorrow," Castle said as they ate a late breakfast.
"So do I, the sooner we find her the better. What do you think of Pete's theory, that she's gone willingly?"
"I don't know much about her past, I know Pete adopted her when he married her mother but he said she'd been unstable since losing someone she was close to and that this man we're seeking looks like him."
"Yeah, imagine that, who would have though there could be four identical men? He thinks she never got over the man she lost?"
"He says he and Jackie have to make allowances for her, he told me what happened to her a few years ago, she never really got over it."
"Poor Rose, maybe she thought he'd come back for her?"
"Yeah, that's what Pete thinks as well. First thing tomorrow, I'll come with you and find out more about this Scottish detective Pete wants to bring over and hope Captain Gates agrees to some outside help."
Kate thought some fresh ideas on the case would be a good thing but she'd read about this Alec Hardy, he would certainly be a challenge.
