She pulled a notepad from her pocket and began to write in it, “He must be one kind kidnapper to have packed an overnight bag for you.” Vicky shrugged her shoulders.
“Who am I to say what goes on in a criminal’s mind?” her heart pounded as she wondered how long she was going to have to sit through this. All she wanted to do was get out and go home.
As she thought about going home she realized she couldn’t. Ian would be there. There was no way she was going to go back to him. This was her chance to get a clean break. She’d been gone for two days he wouldn’t expect her to return.
“Look are we done here? I was kidnapped, you found me and rescued me. There’s nothing more to it.” Vicky explained. Kim raised an eyebrow.
“I know your hiding something. Don’t think I can’t see right through you,” Kim assured her, “I will figure out what you’re hiding and when I do you will be sorry.” Ignoring her words Vicky turned to Paul.
“Am I free to go? I really could do with a rest after all the excitement.” She gave him a pleading look; one she knew he would not be able to resist.
“You’ve not been arrested,” Paul explained, “We have no reason to link you to any of this. You’re free to go home and get some rest. I’ve already spoken to boss. He told me to tell you to take a few days off and come back when you’re ready to work.” Kim scowled at Vicky as she stood up and headed toward the door.
“Well Kim I’d love to say this has been a pleasure but I would be lying.” Vicky laughed as she saw the angry expression on Kim’s face.
With that she opened the door and walked out. Paul walked behind her down the corridor. Her spirits were just lifting when she saw someone turn the corner in front of her. It was another cop. He wasn’t the one who made Vicky’s heart sink. It was the man behind him. Ian looked up from his feet as he turned the corner and his eyes fell on Vicky. He scowled and walked quickly toward her.
“Vicky, what the hell is going on?” he demanded.
“I have nothing to say to you.” Vicky replied and she attempted to walk past him. He grabbed her by the elbow and pulled her back to face him. She looked down at his hand on her arm as Paul cleared his throat to show that he had seen everything.
“Vic, do you need a hand?” he asked from behind her. She looked over her shoulder and shook her head.
“Thanks Paul but I’m fine. Don’t you have a criminal to catch?” she forced a smile in his direction. Paul looked reluctant but after another nod from her, he gestured for the other cop to follow him.
“Let’s just go home.” Vicky told Ian. He instantly looked happier as though he thought that she actually wanted to go back with him.
Her heart pounded and she felt hot with adrenaline fever as she followed him down the corridor and out of the station. They climbed into his black ford and before Vicky could even fasten her seat belt they were heading for home.
As soon as the apartment door shut behind them Vicky wished she had asked Paul to arrest Ian. Within moments she felt his fist hit the back of her head. She stumbled forward grabbing hold of the table where the bowl for their front door keys sat. The bowl slipped off the table and clattered to the floor. Vicky was relieved to see that it didn’t shatter. It was the one thing she had left of her mother’s.
As she corrected herself she turned to look at Ian. “What the hell was that for?” she demanded.
“What the hell do you think you were doing running off like that?” he hissed at her as he raised his hand again. This time he back handed her across the face. Her cheek instantly grew red and began to swell. She felt the sting of his attack running through her face. She pressed her cold hand against her cheek, trying to ease the pain.
