Maybe it was because she really did look like Kristen, or maybe he was just fed up with all the trouble she had already caused him. Either way, he was about to blow. As the woman kept yelling and fighting him, Jason stopped and looked her in the eyes. “Shut the fuck up!” he yelled as he drew his arm back and forcefully slapped her across the face, almost knocking her unconscious.
Julie’s head spun as Jason slapped her. Up until then, she hadn’t been hurt. For the first time, she truly believed that she might not make it back home in one piece. All hope drained away and she and Jason emerged from the wooded area and she saw the car with its headlights still burning into the night.
The shack was only a few yards ahead on the gravel road, so Jason walked the woman there. He would go retrieve the car after he had her all tied up.
As Jason tied Julie to the chair inside the cabin, the light allowed him to get a clearer look at her face. He could see how Derek had made the mistake of grabbing her instead of Kristen. Both women had the same hairstyle and she was wearing a fancy dress, though it wasn’t a wedding dress. He studied her face, trying to ignore the tear streaked makeup and purple bruises that were quickly spreading over her eye and cheek to see if she really looked like Kristen. She didn’t. The main resemblance was in the hair style.
Julie began crying hysterically as Jason used his thumb to gently brush over her cheek. She was sore, and his touch burned her skin. “Please don’t hurt me, please don’t hurt me,” she blubbered through her tears. She was having a meltdown and the words were barely recognizable.
Once Julie was securely bound, Jason left the shack to get the car. He only hoped the battery hadn’t died. The last thing he needed was someone spotting the car on the gravel road. Luckily for him, the car started up fine. He still needed to formulate a plan to get Kristen to come to him. He knew he was going to use the woman Derek kidnapped as bait, but he needed to think out every possible scenario before proceeding.

Jason fought back his yawns as he snapped the picture. The shack was shabby and dark, but the sunlight coming in through the window helped. He took a few shots to make sure he had one really clear one. The phone he was using was a burner phone and didn’t have the best camera. It would do, though. He was planning on destroying the phone after sending the picture anyways.
He had stayed up all night formulating his plan. It wasn’t perfect, but he still would have time to tweak it. The first step was to get the picture taken and sent. He input the number carefully and took his time hitting the SEND button. Once he hit that button, there was no turning back. He replayed his plan in his mind to make sure he hadn’t forgotten anything. When he was sure he had taken all of the appropriate precautions, he sent the picture.
There was still so much to do, but first Jason needed to take a short nap. He checked on the girl to make sure she was tied up tightly and she was. She seemed to be sleeping finally. She had spent several hours crying and screaming before finally becoming drained.
Steel woke up to the rays of sunshine coming through the hotel suite he had booked for his honeymoon. He had only been asleep for a couple of hours, but felt energized and refreshed. There was something about having Kristen in his life, as his wife, that gave him new life.
Making sure not to wake Kristen, he carefully removed the sheet from around his waist and put on some shorts. The view from their suite was spectacular. He imagined staying in Hawaii forever. He and Kristen could enjoy the beaches and tropics during the day, and make love all night. It sounded perfect, but he imagined part of the
