truth?”
“What? Ask Yvonne here, I've been looking for Maggie since she ran off.”
“He has. Been up and down looking for her all day today, and yesterday.”
“That still doesn’t mean you don’t mean her harm. Why did she run off from you?”
“We had a lover's tiff, that's all.”
Cyrus visibly baulked at the term lover. Maggie could see his temper rising and knew she had to defuse the situation. Trouble is she did not know how.
“Look, I’m going to have to call the police if you don’t back off. However, if you leave now we’ll leave it at that. We won’t press charges.”
“Press charges,” Maggie repeated.
“Yes, honey. Kidnap, holding you against your will.”
“That’s not what happened.”
“I’m sure that's what they've convinced you, but come on. Who wouldn’t take a woman with amnesia to hospital?”
Bears, that's who. All at once, Maggie saw how this would turn out if she were not careful. It would be easier to simply walk away now and leave them to live in peace. So she let him pull her out of the shop, her two men followed.
“Listen, I’ll come back when this all straightened out,” she said to them.
“Come on, honey. Once you get your memory back you'll see it all differently.”
She looked at the man who was supposed to be her boyfriend, and could not work out what she found attractive in him.
She went to Aiden and Cyrus and stretched her arms out to hold them both briefly. “I’ll come back, I promise.”
“Don’t go with him,” Cyrus said.
“I have to. To keep you safe.” She pulled away before she lost the will to.
The guy had her car door open, waiting for her to get in. Standing in front of him, she looked at his face, trying her hardest to remember one simple detail about him that would convince her this was the right thing to do. She could not, everything about him seemed wrong; in reality, he made her skin crawl.
“I think I’ve changed my mind,” she said quietly.
He leaned forward, and whispered in her ear, “If you don’t get in this car I will make sure they lock your two freaky friends up and throw away the key.” Her body stiffened, then she felt sick as he kissed her on the cheek and said so Aiden and Cyrus could hear, “Don’t worry sweetheart, I’ll soon have you back where you belong.”
In a state of shock and confusion she got in the car, he shut the door and sauntered around to the other side to get in the drivers seat. He did not rush, he had no need to, after all, she would go along with whatever he wanted to keep her bears safe. The question was how much did this guy now about the “freaks”?
As he started the engine, she looked up at Aiden and Cyrus. Aiden had his hand on Cyrus’s arm, trying to restrain him. All she wanted to do was get out of the car and go to them, but she could not risk their lives for hers. Somehow, she would get herself away from this man, but first she needed to know exactly what, and who, she was dealing with.
Her captor reversed back onto the road, turning the car to head downhill. She sat numbly watching the trees go by before she found her voice.
“Who are you, and what do you want?”
He laughed. “You really don’t remember do you? I can’t believe my luck. Those two hill billies finding you and then bringing you right back to me. I tipped that shop girl a nice chunk of change to let me know if you came by.”
“How did she know I was the one you were looking for?”
“I showed her a photo of you, told her you were the love of my life but we'd had a big argument and you had run off. When you walked in she recognised you, and called. I was up the top of the road, trying to figure out if you were dead by now.” He turned to her and smiled. “Now that would have messed up my plans.”
“Which are?”
“Sell you back to your family.”
“What! You've kidnapped me?”
“Well I had. But technically you now left with me voluntarily; the shop girl will back me up on that
