27: To the rescue

Damien POV

I paced round the small space of the police office. The search was still on. It's taking so damn long and I'm growing impatient by the minute. Jay has been missing since last night.

The sight of Bethany coming into the small space with coffee in her hand made me sigh. She met me on the way here and asked me what was going on. I didn't tell her but she followed me here like a little bug and eventually, she found out and she's been here with me since last night.

"Have coffee Damien. It'll ease you"

"Do I look like I want to be eased? My wife is missing!" I half yell and she winced.

"Relax. She's beinf looked for. Just have coffee and don't be stubborn" she shoved the cup into my hand and I glared at her but when the caffeine smell hit my nose, it kind of calmed me so I  take a gulp.

"What was she doing out late anyway" Beth shrugged. She sat on the seat opposite me crossing her legs. It's annoying as she's here already but she just has to keep asking questions!!!?

"Why are you even here? It's not like you care about her" I seethed through my teeth. She looks hurt for a second but I know it's just part of her act.

"Maybe I don't fully like her but I'm sure she's a nice woman. I'm more concerned about your health" she smiled batting her fake lashes at me.

Everything about her is fake. Right from her body to the tight smile she's giving me right now. How did I ever fall for her? She's like an annoying doll on pink.

"I'm fine. Just go" I said and gulped the remains of my coffee before trashing the can into the bin.

This whole thing is just getting me more mad. If she was captured on land, I would've been everywhere looking for her but she's on sea and I don't fucking know this waters.

A man In green khaki shirt and short walked into the room. "The boat was spotted" he said to me and I was up on my feet in seconds.

"So where is it?"

"It's wandered off a few miles away from land but we can still catch them up" he motioned with his hand for me to follow him.

He led me to where a chopper stood. "We'll fly to them" the khaki man said. I should really get his name but I'm bad at keeping names. Especially not now.

"Well then. Let's go" I huffed. I noticed one more helicopter in the air already probably leading the way and have more beach police in it.

"I'll come with you" Beth said gripping my arm before I got in.

"No!" I barked and slid into the seat.

"Come on Damien!" She huffed. "I'm coming with you"

"No."

She was shoved aside by a man as the helicopter started ascending. I caught sight of her annoyed look because I left her behind but I didn't care less.

"They're sailing west" The man driving the chopper said.

"Do you know who they are?" I asked khaki man.

"No. But we can get them to talk when they're arrested."

I focused my eyes on the blue expanse of water below us trying to spot any moving boat with blue stripes. Bumps creeped all over my body as the thought of something happening to Jay scared me.

Is she alright? Has she eaten? Is she throwing up again? God!

My body shook when the Khaki man said something beside me. "There they are"

I looked down until I spotted the boat on stand still, not moving and I sat upright. The helicopter went lower and I caught my breath as I saw the sight.

Jay was tied to a pole by the side of the boat and if she makes one wrong, she'd fall overboard.

"What's taking so fucking long. Get me down!" I yelled.

"Yes Mrs Forrest but we have to be careful" khaki man hummed before commanding the pilot to take is down.

"Just get me the fuck down!"

Thank God, the chopper was able to land on the top of the boat but it can't stay on here for long. I jumped down rushing to Jay. Her mouth was tied up. Fuck!

"Babe" I dropped the clothe away from her mouth and she broke into sobs.

"Hey.. I'm here" I kissed the top of her head, then her nose and cheek. I missed her so much. "Who did this to you?" I asked as I lossened the rope around her. The men from the choppers where already going down into the boat.

"I don't know them but they're working for someone that has connection to you" she sniffed. I pulled the last rope away from her and pulled her into my arms. By now, she was full on crying.

"No one is here" khaki man said.

"What do you mean?" Anger shot through me.

"It's true Damien. They abandoned the boat some minutes ago. I think they knew you guys were coming" Jay said rubbing her nose against the sleeve of my shirt.

"Where'd they go?" Khaki man asked her.

"I don't know but a helicopter took them away not long"

I picked her up into my arms and she nuzzled into my neck.

"I was scared Jay" I said as I kissed her. My heart was swelling with joy at seeing her but I wanted to kill the bastards that even thought of napping her.

"Me too. I'm sorry"

"Hush"

"No. I'm sorry. They made me sign a paper" her mouth trembled and I stared at her.

"What paper?"

"It was blank but...I was threatened. Oh I feel horrible now" Jay broke into sobs again while rubbing her tummy nervously. I'm not sure what to say right now but I do know it's great to hold her in my arms.

Whatever paper she signed wasn't worth her loosing her life and our baby. I held her close to me.

"Our honeymoon is ruined because of me right?" She asked as I placed her into the the helicopter. I dabbed away the tears that dropped to her cheek. She looks faint and shaken.

"No it's not. We're staying here till two weeks is over but I'm not taking my eyes off of you again" I swear before climbing in next to her. I'm not even letting her go the bathroom by herself.

"Have you even eaten anything?"

"Yes. They fed me well. They were pretty decent except from when Khan pointed a gun at me" she frowned and I tensed up, my fist balling up.

"What?"

"I tried escaping"

How could she have tried escaping? There's literally no way out of here but she was just going to risk everything! I didn't yell though. I know she's shaken up already so I just pinched the bridge of my nose before pausing.

"Wait! Did you say Khan?" I asked her and she nodded with wide eyes.

"Fuck!"
