~Derek’s Point of View~

Friday night, I didn’t sleep at all. It took every possible ounce of restraint not to just call up Eve and ask to see her right then. I wished I had recorded our conversation, even though it was short, her voice was in my head and I couldn’t think about anything else. 

If there was any chance in hell she could be the one, I was going to grab her with both hands and not let go. If somehow, she wasn’t the one I was pretty sure I was just going to fucking give up. 

Of course to Eve at this point, I was likely just some rich asshole that had a kink to work out. I was desperate to know what she was thinking, how she felt about all this. 

Saturday night came and I got to the room really early, about 7

    "Come up here baby girl.”She moved up to me and I laid her on my chest. I was still panting a bit but I was trying to calm down.Her little voice came from the dark, “is there a minibar by any chance, I could really use a water.”I smiled, “what are you reading my mind, I just thought the same.”I kissed her head and got up to feel my way over to the fridge. I got two bottles of water and came back, feeling for her hand.“Here baby, it’s really cold,” I said, connecting with her.I heard her shuffle around a bit, drinking her water and I really wanted to take her in the bath, I wanted

    ~Heath’s Point of View~Derek and I were at lunch, he had woken me up early as fuck this morning to rub his amazing night in my face. He was basically ready to propose and I told him to pump the breaks a bit.Eve was so young, she couldn’t possibly be ready for this crazy life. They didn’t even know anything about each other. But the more I thought about it, and saw the crazy change in him, I knew that if it were me finding my redhead, I would probably be doing the same. I just needed him to see the full gravity of what he was doing from her perspective.“Dude I just still can’t get past the fact that you didn’t turn on the light, you must have the willpower of a saint,” I said, stating the obvious.

    I agreed to take Eve to the mall one day while Derek had to go into the office and I thought it would be a good chance to just observe her, especially without him around.I really just liked watching people, trying to figure them out. Derek made it clear he wanted me to watch over her, she was his only priority now and I understood but I still didn’t want to carry some fucking bags around a mall.I knew how Eve must be feeling, Derek had no idea how intimidating it was to see how he threw money around.For my first birthday with him he gave me his credit card and said, “go get a couple new suits on me buddy.”Yeah okay, that’s not something normal people do, whether a friend or a boss. But then again a normal boss doesn&rsq

    I slept in, ordered some lunch and had a nice lazy day while they went to see Eve’s family.I was in the middle of some Call of Duty when I got a text from Derek, no words, just a picture.It was a beautiful tall girl with long, thick red hair. She was pale with visible freckles and an amazing smile. My dick immediately went to full attention and I wrote him back demanding to know who she was and told him to sneak more pictures.She was it, she was my dream! I could't believe she actually existed.She was a bit thinner than Eve but she was tall and looked athletic. She just had on jeans and a tank top, but she was perfect, completely perfect.Derek sai

    She looked at me a bit confused, just like when I’d first asked if I could hang out with her, and I knew she was being shy.“Like where,” she said, looking around.“Uhm, I don’t know we could go sit in my car and just talk, maybe,” I said, immediately regretting it, thinking I would scare her off.She looked at her hands and shifted her feet, clearly unsure what to do.“It’s no big deal we can hang in here, I just wanted to talk and it’s kind of crazy,” I said, trying to reassure her I wasn’t a weirdo.“No, it’s okay it is crazy in here, sure we can go talk,” she said.

Maybe he just wanted a quick thing while on his trip but he laid it on pretty thick for a guy looking for a one night stand.I hadn’t been able to talk to Eve alone yet and I had no idea about these city boys. I didn’t know what their intentions were or what I should do to prepare myself.We got to my car and

    “Of course I mean it, and while I would more than love to … help you out of your pants, I definitely don’t only want that. Obviously I’m a good bit older than you, I’ve had a lot more time to be searching for ‘the one’ and I haven’t even remotely come close to finding her. But you … you’re … exactly how I would picture my dream girl,” he said.Holy shit, wait what!“You mean to tell me that little old Beth from bum fuck nowhere is your dream girl, get outta here! I know good and well you could have anyone you want, some model probably,” I said, totally serious.He turned fully to me and took my hand.“I’m not going to lie I’ve dated a lot, I&rs

    ~Heath’s Point of View~~I woke up early, since that’s what I was used to. I normally got up before work and did an hour of cardio while I watched the news.But today, I had the view that I’d been waiting for my whole life. I had the cutest, most adorable girl in my arms. I never dated anyone so much younger than me, and maybe that’s what I needed. I’d only dated women my age or even older, but I needed someone more youthful and vibrant to get me out of my rut, my routine.I needed to hear her giggle and see her cute red cheeks when I made her blush. I actually loved that she didn’t have that much sexual experience, she was a blank canvas and I could show her everything. Here I thought she was this shy girl, but she’s just never had the right person

There was still total radio silence on Haven and her brother, but Derek still had everyone possible trying to track them down.At last count, his hackers were able to recover about $39 million of the ransom, which we all thought was pretty remarkable.It was great to meet Heath’s family, and they were the distraction that I think we all needed. They knew nothing about what had happened to Beth and I, and I was so glad for it. Being around our group would have given me nothing but sad, pitiful faces.

    The cops were trying to get ahold of the landlord to ask about breaking out a wall or taking up the floor and I didn’t give a fuck about all that. I’d buy him a new goddamn building if wasn’t in on the scheme.About four hours went by and I was seriously losing any ounce of patience I had left.Heath had me on speakerphone in his pocket so I could roughly hear what was being said inside.I heard a guy in the crowd yell that he was the landlord and I immediately rushed him but Mick held me back.A cop went at him, “sir we believe there is a kidnapping victim being held here, is there a basement or a false wall anywhere?”“What, someone was kidnapped? You think they are here?”

There was just nothing more we could do, we were totally helpless.The kidnappers had been more than careful and if I hadn’t been so insaney furious I might have admired their work. They had to have slipped up at some point, we just had to catch a break.It was extremely illegal but Mick was running the photo we got of the driver from a street camera through the DMV. It was the middle of the night and everyone was half asleep or actually asleep.Heath and Beth had been holed up in his place and I didn’t want to bother them, not that I had any news.I was in the kitchen

The whole speech I gave at first about us having a united front and not showing we were scared was pretty much going out the window.I didn’t know what the hell Derek was doing, did he not give them all the money? I had no clue. Since they took Beth nobody has come back. I don’t have much food left and I’m starting to have to fill up my water bottles in the sink.Maybe they’ll just leave me here to starve, I thought.No, they said they wanted me, they have to want me for something … sex?

    ~Derek’s Point of View~Our hackers were working non-stop to trace the money we already sent. As soon as it hit the bank it went to three other accounts and so on. It seemed like they were just trying to put it through so many places to keep it from being traced but we weren’t giving up.We had the FBI and different forensics teams monitoring the video they made the girls take, but we were getting nothing there.I was completely torn on whether or not to send the rest of the money … I didn’t care about the actual money of course but just the fact that I would be sending it with no guarantee of getting them.After some back and forth we went ahead and sent another 15 million, and decided to wait and see if they responded.

I’d known hand to hand combat, I’d know the terror of a real fight.I never wanted her to have to know anything like that.Derek was in full on control freak mode. This was supposed to be my domain, security. But everything seemed to be moving around me in slow motion, I couldn’t focus.The FBI was able to track down the car and in it was a note with instructions. They wanted 50 million dollars wired over ten different bank accounts.
