I opened my eyes and the room was dark. I tried to sit up but the sharp pain that shot through my side was unbearable. I heard some noise coming from what I could only guess was a door. "Hello. I need help please." I heard some shuffling and then the door opened. The light was blinding at first but then my eyes adjusted.
"Why Michael so nice for you to finally join us. I have someone here that wants to see you." That voice. The man had stayed just outside of my view. I saw a shadow move around and then I saw her.
"Michael? Are you ok?" My Joey stood there bloody and hurt.
"Joey. I'm ok baby. Are you ok? What is going on? Who is out there with you?" Her eyes had tears in them as she was moved out of the way and there

I went to Michael and could feel a pulse but it was very faint. “Hold on Michael. Don’t you fucking die on me.” I went back over to Ethan’s body and searched his pockets. I found the keys to the chains and also his cellphone. I called for help and then unchained Michael laying him carefully down on the floor. I found some clean rags and started to put pressure on his wounds.I felt the tears in my eyes as I looked down at his lifeless body. “Please baby you can’t leave me yet.” I felt his hand twitch and hold mine. I looked at him as he wiped a tear from my face.“I’m not leaving yet. I’m not done loving you.” That just made me cry more as I held his hand tightly and kept pressure on his wounds. Within minutes we were surrounded by police and EMTs. They

Ethan’s POV...I laid quietly watching that bastard propose to my woman. The small space I hid in made it hard to not make a sound and the anger inside me made it hard to not jump down there and kill him and claim her. I knew that I had to wait though. Since my escape, they have been looking everywhere for me except for where I actually was. Michael also has made sure that someone is always with Josephine so I have just been sitting in wait for my time. I had it planned out and knew my way of escape once I had what was mine. I knew that eventually someone would fuck up and give me my opportunity. I laid there waiting for her response to his proposal.“Yes! Yes, Michael of course I will marry you.” Her sweet voice hit my ears and the anger and pain inside me became too much. I crawled

Michael’s POV...“What do you mean you don’t know where she is?!” The doctor stood in front of me with fear in his eyes as I was losing my shit.“I’m sorry sir. We can’t find Ms. Wells or the nurse you said took her for testing. We have all security staff searching the hospital but they haven’t found anything.” My anger was at a breaking point as I slammed my fist into the wall next to me. Dan came next to me and put his hand on my shoulder.“We’ll find her. They can’t be far the only exit out of town has a checkpoint.” I looked at him and then back to the doctor.“Have you checked the security cameras

When I came to I was lying in the bed. I wasn’t chained which was surprising considering I tried to escape. It was dark and the only light was from the moon coming in the window. I laid there a minute until my bladder made me get up. I started to sit up and that’s when I heard him move next to me. He was sitting in a chair next to my bed. “Why did you have to try and run? Now I have another body to get rid of and it’s all your fault.” I looked down because I knew the risk when I tried what I did but I did it anyway. He was right I was the reason she was dead.“I.. I..” I don’t know what came over me but it just hit me. “No. It’s not my fault Ethan. I didn’t shoot her and I didn’t kidnap myself. It’s your fault. You are the one who shot her and the one who kidnapped me and also the one who killed all those othe

Ethan’s POV...I walked away leaving her to clean the kitchen. I knew she was playing with me. She only wants him and to get back to him. So for now I would wait. She would change her mind soon enough. If not I guess that I will have to kill him. I heard her walking around and then eventually heard her door close I wanted so badly to go to her and just take her but I wanted her to be fully healed as well. What I had planned would break her if I took her now.After about an hour I could hear her soft snoring from her room and I knew if I didn’t get out for a little bit I would hurt her. I needed to be careful though I know they are looking for me but I can’t fight the urge any longer. I opened the door and quickly and quietly walked out into the night air. I took off into the night lik

Michael’s POV…We searched for hours and still found nothing. There had been no more tracks or disturbances in the brush. We finally called off the search and went back to the station empty-handed and with one more broken family to add to the others. I was starting to feel like Ethan may have set that up to throw us off his trail. Make us search in the wrong area. I sat in her office looking over all the files we had on the victims and on Ethan. He was one messed-up person. The pictures of the woman he had killed were making me sick just looking at them.“Michael go home son and get some rest. You’re going to be no use to her if you don’t take care of yourself.” White stood in the doorway of the office looking at me.

My head was spinning. I still couldn’t believe it. Ethan was by my side watching me as I tried to regain my composure. I looked up at the man standing in front of me and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. “You lying son of a bitch. How could you? She loved you so much and you have been working with her killer.” I watched as Dan took a knee in front of me. He grabbed my hand and looked me in the eyes. I tried to pull away from him but he just held me tighter.“Tara was my world and Ethan has paid for taking her from me but now I am going to help him keep what is his.” I laughed.“You are both crazy. Ethan, I am not yours. I will never be yours and Dan. Well Dan I don’t even know what to say to you. I trusted you, Tara trusted you and all for what? So you can help fuel psycho man&rsq

Josephine’s POV…I woke to his hands around my throat. I tried to push him off but he was too strong. “You just had to give me a reason. I’m going to enjoy this.” Was the last thing I heard before blacking out. When I came to I was down in his torture room chained to the table.“Ethan, please. I am sorry for whatever I did.” I begged. He came over to me and looked down at me.“You should have just stayed out of here princess. Now you have to be punished.” He walked away and I could hear him messing with the tools.“Ethan think about this you don’t want to hurt me.” He laughed out loud. He came rushing back

Two years later..."Come on Joey one more push." Michael was standing next to me as I pushed one more time and our gorgeous boy came into the world. He was perfect in every way. The nurse handed him to me."So what is this little guys name?" She asked. I looked at Michael and he nodded."Brandon Michael Morris." The nurse smiled and then left us to ourselves for a little while. Brandon was my father's name which just felt right when we decided on a name for our son.The aftermath of Ethan and Dan's deaths was nothing to spectacular. No one questioned us on what had happened. The corner had said that they had shot each other which matched with mine and Michael's story. We never said anything else about that night. I saw a therapist for about a year afterwards but I had moved past everything.Michael was still traveling to Seattle for now but rumor has it that Captain White is plan

Josephine's POV...When I woke I was back in my room. My hand was bandaged and the cabin seemed quite. I pulled the blanket back and saw blood on the sheets. Everything flashed back and then I remembered someone ripping Ethan off of me. Who though? It had to be Dan. Why he stopped him I don't know but I was grateful I wasn't dead.I sat myself up and carefully got out of bed. I was sore all over but I was able to move. I walked over to my bathroom and turned the light on. When I looked in the mirror I saw the bruises. I just shook my head and turned the water on for a bath. The water felt good as I sank myself into the tub.I was trying to gather my thoughts and come up with a way out of this. I let the tears fall as the hopelessness started to set in. I stood a chance of escape when it was just Ethan but now that Dan was involved I wasn't sure if I could get away. I heard a knock o
