...Tyler POV...
We on our way to the Sheriff in the next town; they owe me a favor; I am hoping they can give me a search warrant for Luke’s town. As we drive away, I look back to see if that asshole leaves town on his way to Jenna, perhaps, but no such luck. For someone that has no common sense at the moment, he is surely keeping her hidden quite well. I will not rest today or tomorrow, or even the next days after that, until I find my wife.
He will slip up, I am going to find her, and when I do, he is going to pay for it; I am not sure how or what, but he will regret the day he ever laid a hand on her.
“Are you okay there, Tyler?” Nathan looks over at me, rather concerned.
“I am going off my goddamn mind.”
“We will find her.”
“I am just scared that we might be too late.”
“He wants her; he won’t hurt her.”
“It’s what else he would do to her that worries me the most.”
“Don’t think like that, man.”
There are a million thoughts running through my head, and none of them are good; they terrify the shit out of me. I will cut every goddamn finger off and feed it to his dogs if he so much as touches her.
After hours of driving, we finally get to the town.
I turn to Nathan, “Just heads up, she is gorgeous but lethal.”
“Is the Sheriff a woman?” he asks, surprised.
“Yes, don’t underestimate her.”
Nathan seems to be a bit nervous about the Sheriff being a woman; I guess he just feels a bit intimidated.
“Hey, Tyler.”
“Howzit going, Brooke.”
She ignores me and immediately turns to look at Nathan, “Who is this handsome guy?”
“The town's bad boy Nathan,” I explain
Brooke looks Nathan up and down, “You can always come to be the bad boy in my town.”
“Brooke focus.”
“How can I focus around him?”
“You can try to pick him up later.”
“Tell me about this thing with Luke?”
“I have never liked the asshole.”
“He has taken Jenna.”
Brooke looks at me in horror, “Your wife, Jenna?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure he took Jenna?”
“I am sure. He has gone psycho.”
“Did someone see him?”
“Sandra saw him in town right before Jenna disappeared.” “That sounds about like him.”
Nathan interrupts us and turns to Brooke, “Let’s guess you two had a thing?”
“Yes,” she admits. “The fucking thing is crazy.”
I can see amusement play around Brooke’s lips. I know this look; she is cooking something up in her head. “Let’s go get the fucker.”
“All I need is a warrant broke.”
“I am coming with,” She insists. “He has done this to too many women before. I want to fry his ass.”
Nathan looks Brooke up and down this time and only but gets a smirk on his face. “Fuck, there is nothing hotter than a badass woman.”
“I will show you what badass is once we have nailed this asshole,” Brooke answers Nathan.
“Oh god,” my body cringes as the awful image runs through my mind. “You two need a room.”
“I don’t need a room if I have a truck, “Brooke reassures me.”
“Fuck,” I chuckle at her. “You are worse than Jenna.”
With that saying her name, my heart drops to the floor again. I really hope my baby is okay. I hate to think in what fucking hole he has her buried away.
The drive back to Luke is absolute torture, not only because I can’t find my wife, but these two have been at it the whole time. I must say, if it were not a situation of real-life or death, I would have found it very amusing.
“So Nathan,” Brooke starts. “Why is a sweet ass like yours in that town of Tyler?”
“Do you find my ass sweet?” Nathan only but smiles at her seductively.
“More like sexy, but I don’t want to go and give you a big head now?”
“Which big head are you referring to?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?”
“I would prefer more like you show me.”
“Oh my god,” I interrupt them.”You two better shut up.”
We get to the station, and Luke’s car is there; Brooke is the first one to get out. I rush after her cause I know she will rip him apart.
The moment Luke sees her, he snaps at her, “Look what we have here, the bitch living down the road.”
“And we have the same old scum running this one,” she snaps back at him.
“To what do I owe the displeasure?”
Brooke tosses the search warrant in his fucked up face.
“What shit is this?” Luke asks.
“A shitty piece of paper that lets Tyler turn this town upside down.”
“You can’t do this.”
“I can, and I just did. I suggest you stay out our way.”
Then I step in front of Luke and stare him straight in the face, “And pray for your fucking ass when I find her here.”
In walks Sarah, Brooke’s face immediately turns from serious to fun. She has her claws out.
“Look,” Brooke says with absolute disgust on her face. “The whore is here.”
“It takes one to know one, my dear.” Sarah smiles as she stands next to Luke
“I am not your fucking dear; the name is Brooke.”
I remember the name, my fiancé spoke about you quite often enough.”
“Ex-fiancé, my dear. And he saw straight through your fat lying ass.”
“Have you seen yourself in the mirror?”
“Not nearly as goddamn ugly as you.”
I grab Brook by the arm away from Sarah, “Brooke, let’s fucking go.”
Just as we are about to leave, Luke calls after me, “You won’t find her here, Tyler.”
“Believe me; I will.”
With that, we all get into my truck and head off to start searching any abandoned houses and shops. As we drive off, I see him standing in the driveway of the station; he clearly looks shaken up
“Brooke,” Nathan turns to look at her. “What is the deal with you and Sarah.”
“I hate the bitch; she broke both of my brother’s hearts.”
“Is Alex your brother?”
“Yes, unfortunately, the jerk is, and this asshole here as well.”
“Is Tyler your brother?”
“Can’t you see where he gets his good looks from?”
Nathan looks at me surprised and in rather amusement, “Oh my god, Jenna is going to flip.”
I only but smile at him, for I know that he is right, but before then, “Let’s find her first; then she can flip as much as she wants.”
…Jenna POV…
For some reason, they brought me back to where I was before; that woman is still lurking around outside here. Luke told her clearly that she is not allowed to come into the basement or to talk to me even. I feel like I am a toy he is playing with; it’s all nice and new now, but when will he start to turn. Surely he can’t keep me down here forever. Is he waiting for me to break and take him back? Does he really think that I will leave my husband for a broken crazy-ass man like him?
I did not do this to him; he could have said no, he could have stopped it before anything happened; I should not have done what I did, but I do not deserve this.
I hear him fiddling with the lock outside the door again.
“Hey, gorgeous.”
This is where I need to make a choice, do I play along, or do I continue to piss him off.
“Hey, Luke.”
He looks at me rather irritated. “Your crazy ass husband and his lapdog and his sister are running around town looking for you.”
“What did you say?”
“Half of your family is ripping my town apart looking for you.”
“Did you say, sister?”
“Oh, don’t tell me you did not know he has a sister.”
He is fucking dead when I get out here.
…Jenna POV…Being stuck in a hole in the ground makes you think, think about a lot of things. Especially the things that you could have done differently in your life. Regret is a big word, and to say that you regret something is even a bigger thing to say. In my little hole here, I am thinking of how I could have regretted something differently.Every bad reaction has an even worse chain reaction if you think about it this way if the lazy ass cat dies, who is going to kill the dirty annoying mouse. Same as for a relationship, if you break something that needs no fixing and looks for fixing somewhere else, you are bound the create a bigger problem than what you started with.You end up creating a monster.You end up with this bad reaction that your chain reaction caused.Luke that has been watching me intently, finally speaks, “What are you thinking so hard about gorgeous?”“Can I ask you a question?”
I am startled awake by a loud thud at the door, followed by the yanking of the chains. I hear the chain being dropped to the floor, not being locked again as always before; I can hear the district sound of something being dragged along the floorI am struck with fear; what has he come back for so early again tonightAs he turns the corner, I am horrified with the sight of what he has been dragging behind him.“Tyler!” I look at Luke look in horror, “What have you done to him?”“Relax, he is still alive.”“What did you do to him?” I ask Luke again“I had to knock his snooping ass out. What a lovely reunion this is going to be.”“I told you he would find me.”“Yes, he did but without backup. Both of you are stuck here now.”
God no!What do I do?That is a fucking stupid question.Get your shit off the fucking floor, Jenna, and save your husband.“Hey fuck head.” Luke turns to me as I call for his attention. “I suggest you drop that gun.”He bursts out in a rumble of laughter, “God, if this were not, so such a fucked up the mess, I would say that is fucken hot.”My body stiffens as I cringe at hearing his words, “You a sick fuck.”“What happened to monster?” His rumble becomes even scarier than before.But I am not about to back down, “Just drop the god damn gun.”“Baby,” he but only give me some wicked smile on his face. “By the time you get that safety off, I would have blown his brains all over the pole.”&n
Tyler has just taken a life, Luke’s crazy rampage has come to an end. His hand is wrapped around my shoulder as we walk back to his truck. Not a word is being spoken; how does something like this affect someone, how does taking a life affect your own. What is this going to do to the man next to me, the man that I love, the man that has just paid the ultimate sacrifice to save my life? A situation that was created by me that turned a friend into a monster.I am scared I lose Tyler, not him itself, but his mind; right now, he shows no feeling or remorse, will he, in time, start losing himself.I don’t know what to say to him, but I have to say something; the silence drives me insane. I need to know if he is okay if he is going to be okay, “Baby.”He briefly turns his head and looks at me, “Yes, baby.”Without trying to sound with too much desperation in my voice, I s
The drive to the ranch is quiet; Tyler has been staring out the window most of the time. I tried speaking, but it is like my words are falling on death ears. I can feel the heaviness hanging in the air, pain radiating from his body. Before we reach the city, I need to stop for gas, the very same gas station I have been stopping every time I make this trip. As I come to the store clerk to pay, he immediately recognizes my face. There is a slight smile filled with confusion playing in his eyes, “Don’t tell me your dream fell through again.” I look on over to the truck, and the attendant follows my eyed, “My dream is in that truck.” I pause for a moment and turn to look at the clerk again, “His body is there, but his mind is gone.” “Well,” he starts, and there is genuine concern in his voice, “Whatever happened, I am sure time will heal his wounds.” I only but give h
It's been two weeks; the nightmares are not getting any better; I don't see him at all during the days, I spent my nights awake watching over him and crying for him. It should be the happiest part of our marriage, but it's not; he is going through something awful that I can't even begin to understand.I need to talk to him.There is something I need to tell him.I find him out by the stables.“Hey, baby.” I hand him a cup of hot coffee.I reach out to give it to him, and I cannot help but noticed how his hands are shaking. “Thank you.” He only but mumbles from underneath his breath.I move a little bit close to him and sit down on the bench next to him, “Baby, we need to talk.”“Jenna, I am not in the mood for you telling me how you don't understand and how you want to help me.” 
...Tyler POV…There is a lot that can happen in a split second that can change your life, that can change a man. You might think at the time it is the best thing to do but it can turn around and be your greatest regret.I thought I was walking into it as a man that wanted to save his wife but I walked out a ruined and broken man. A man that will never be the same.I play it off in my head over and over again. One second I am staring a crazed monster in the face then next he is on the floor. The second his lifeless body hit the floor my own life became lifeless.I cannot face Jenna, I don't know if it is because I feel ashamed or because I feel like a monster. This is the week that should be my honeymoon but I cannot be around her, I don't want to be around anyone at this moment or even in the near future.She is trying her best to be supportive and to understand but I am n
Tyler seems to be better. The news of our baby that is on the way has cleared his head in some way and he has escaped from the demon that has to hold him back in his mind.Or that is what I have thought.Last night was torture, not only for me but for him as well. The nightmares seem to have crept their way back into his soul. I did not but sleep one wink out of desperation to get him from where he went running off again.I thought he had escaped the place where he had gone, but yet he is back again. The man that I love has become but a shelf of who he is. He has forgotten all the good things that need to keep him here.As we sit for breakfast this morning, which he reluctantly had been forced to do, I can see that hollowness has returned to his mind.Tyler is gone from me again and I have, once again, no way in saving him from himself. I thought that the news of our baby would keep him back, get him away and save him from the monster that has take
