A Biker’s Love

Chapter 8

Rachel's POV. Wishes don't always come true; I wished to be taken by Drew to an island of bliss but instead I was taken captive by the unknown. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ I opened my eyes slowly trying to come to terms with my surrounding. My head was pounding so hard I thought it might explode. The room was dark and smelled putrid. I heard the faint squeaky sound of rats in the room.I tried to move my hands but it felt stuck. I tried with my legs but they remained immobile. I tried again and again but all to no avail. It took a few more seconds for me to realize I was tied to a chair. My legs and arms were bound in ropes to the chair which was why I was unable to move them. I tried to think of the events that led up to this moment and the memories wasted no time in coming back to me. I wished I didn't remember, I didn't want to believe I had been captured.

I walked down the bushy path getting closer and closer to the road connecting shadow creek to the northern towns. My small travel bag on my arm as I walked cautiously to avoid getting hurt as it was still dark. I got to the road and stood there as the message directed. My heart beat fast in excitement like a run away bride waiting for her lover to come and take her to a land of bliss.But I guessed I wasn't prepared for what happened to me right there and then.I heard faint footsteps from a distance like cautious boots marching on the dewy grass. I stood still and at alert trying to look for the creeper but I couldn’t seem to pinpoint his location. I heard another set of footsteps coming from another direction. It seemed like they were planning to trap me from both sides. I opened my mouth to scream but the closer creeper put his rough calloused hand over my mouth blocking any sound I would've made. I thrashed around and tried to kick him off but my weak bones were no match for his strong muscles. The other creeper finally got to us and I saw the deadly smirk on his face in the darkness which sent chills down my spine."Boss said he wants her alive." The one with his hand over my mouth said to the other."Stupid Govi had to go and get hisself captured. I told ya he was a bum." The other one scoffed, and is immediately rebuked by the other."Shut it! This is not the time to talk about this. We need to move and we need her unconscious." They conversed amongst themselves,ignoring my existence before finally, they decide to knock me out with a drugged handkerchief. I thrashed around furiously trying to free myself from his hold but he doesn't budge. The one with the deadly smirk put the handkerchief over my mouth and nose. I tried to resist its effects all to no avail. My consciousness slowly slipped away and tiny black dots clouded my vision before I was out."Stupid fuckers." I muttered to myself, anger filling every cell in my body. What a lame way to capture someone. They didn't even have the guts to come get from my house. I bet my dad would've shot them with his shotgun. My dad! He would call Brent up to ask if I was at work when he doesn't get through to me and Brent would report negative. The whole town was probably searching for me. I needed to escape. I needed to find a way. I must find a way.I tried to free my hands but the more I fought the ropes the more it stung my skin. I stopped fighting it and unknowingly, I expressed my frustration by shouting. I would've covered my mouth but that wasn’t possible due to my incapacitated state. I remained as still as the dead, straining my ear for faint sounds of boots. Seconds later, the door opened and a little light illuminated the room. One of the men hit a switch and the tungsten bulb lit up. I blinked my eyelids rapidly on impulse trying to adjust to the sudden contrast."Aye the sleeping beauty wakes,” One cracked a crooked grin showing his yellowed teeth with irregular shapes. The other stalked towards me and although the fear was suffocating me, I choose to remain calm and composed."Well aren't you trying so hard to be brave now aye?" He stopped in front of me and whispered his sentence few meters from my face. His bad breath fanned my face and the sudden urge to puke filled me. I held my breath to keep myself from inhaling any more of his stinking foul smelling breath. He straightened up after a few seconds and I quickly took in gulps of air."We should go tell boss she awake,” The other one said in broken English and the one standing close to me waved him away, not taking his eyes off me. The other left, shutting the door behind him confining Mr Creep and I in the room."You know..." He began and does circle movement round the chair I'm tied to."...The boss wouldn't rush down here. He a slow man. We gat about 20 minutes fore he shows up. I could untie you but then you have to show me whatcha made of. I know ya redheads always so sexy and fierce." He grinned and the thought of copulating with this ogreish man filled me with so much disgust that it made me lightheaded. He crouched down bringing his hand forward placing it on one of my breasts.I glared at him and spat on his face,"f**k you,” I sneered, but then it was a really stupid thing to do. He struck my right cheek with the back of his hand and wiped the saliva off his face."Well it seem you like to play rough and you're gonna get it." He ripped my shirt apart making the buttons go flying across the room and groped me roughly all over my body. His touch felt like a snake creeping over my body. I screamed but he was quick to cover my mouth.The door to the room suddenly slammed open and a tall deadly looking man walked in. He looked round the room till his eyes fell on us. The one harassing me fidgeted, with fear and dread etched on his face."Boss I-I ... Sh-She was h-hot so I..." He stuttered as the boss took slow steps towards us. He brought his gun forward and I feared he was going to shoot him dead; not that he deserved anything less but still it was someone's life. He knocked the air out of him with the butt of his gun and the man fell to the floor, unconscious with a thud."Clean this mess up." He ordered the other who was brought out of his temporary shock. The boss rolled his eyes in disgust at both men."Dumb fuckers." He grumbled to himself but I happened to hear it so clearly as he was directly in front of me. The other man dragged the unconscious body of his mate out of the room with so much noise and grunts."Now where were we..." The boss started up with a smile so genuine that I almost thought him good. I remained quiet, refusing to meet his gaze but instead I focused on the plain blue wall in front of me."Whats your name, my darling?" He asked but got no response from me. My gaze remained focused on the wall and I remained mute."Ah! A quiet one. We need to do something bout that. I can't deal with silence. I had enough of that in there." He complained and the next thing I'm shrieking in pain from his tight grip on my hair. He controlled my head by dragging my hair back to tilt my head upward meeting his eyes. His eyes were brown like honey surrounded by red instead of white and filled with so much hate and darkness that I felt the need to curl into a ball and shield myself from this monster."Your name Belle. What. Is. Your. Name?" He asked again, word by word, tightening his grip on my hair and I wasted no time in revealing my identity to this absolute monster."Rachel... Rachel Davies." I said and he nodded."Davies, Davies, Davies..." He repeated with his forehead scrunched up in thought like he's trying to recall a past memory."Ah! Ya da Daughter of da sheriff. Its been a while I saw your old man... How is he? I heard his wife died. Pity that such beauty had to be removed from the world so soon." He said as if to himself but I discreetly rolled my eyes at him. He had no f*****g right to speak of my parents."Don't worry I won't hurt you honey. You're just a pawn to lure your lover here. Your lover though is the real prey and I know word of your disappearance would've gotten to him and he's a smart one. I taught him well... he's already on his way to rescue ya and ya know... kill me." The man laughed humorlessly."Stupid boy." He jeered and exited the room not before switching off the light and I was once again left in darkness but it was the least of my worries now.The man admitted that he was using me to lure Drew. He said Drew was the real prey. Knowing Drew, the biker was already on his way filled with anger and he would probably going to charge into this place without any reasonable plan and get himself killed. Drew's POV.

~Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.~ "So where can we find your boss?" I asked Govi peering closely at him but he replied with a smirk."Well I already told you who he is. Ya gonna have to figure out where he hiding out yaselves. I don't know where he is. He only paid me to send ya a message. Message delivered. That's why I'm in this shit." He ran his mouth for the 100th time today. I smoothened out the crease on my forehead, coupled with inhaling and exhaling slowly to hold myself from screaming the house down. Dawg passed by me and delivers a hard punch to Govi's cheek, shaking out his hand. Govi groaned in pain as blood began pouring out of his nose again."What the hell Dawg!" Wolfe clamored. I just stared at him."Well, sorry guys! This guy has a way of pissing people off. I don't know how ya both do it that it doesn't bother you but I can't deal when he says s**t and as it is he's been saying a lot of shit." Dawg scoffed and walked out of the basement. I rolled my eyes and Wolfe sighed loudly."Let's go." I said to Wolfe and turned immediately, exiting the room. I nodded at the young bikers guarding the basement and go down the corridor to my study. I walked over to the bar area and poured myself a full glass of whiskey. I carried it over to my desk and sat on my chair.Wolfe occupied one of the chairs in the room and started talking on the phone to who I guessed was his wife, Denise. It had been three days, three long days of trying to figure out the devil's location. I’d been on edge ever since from not knowing what he was up to. He was unpredictable and not slow. The more time we wasted, the greater his plans to destroy me. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes relaxing back on the chair and placing my feet on the desk."Boss, boss did you hear what I said?" Wolfe asked me. I opened my eyes and looked at him, raising a brow in confusion. I guessed I was lost in thought again. This had been going on for the past few days."Huh... what did you say?" I asked again for the third time today and he frowned worriedly at me."Boss are you sure you're okay?" He asked and I sighed deeply and drained the whiskey in my glass before getting up from the chair."I think I need to lay down for a while." I said and exited the study going up to my suite. I turned the knob on one of the double door before going in. I went straight to my bed, falling onto it with my back. I retrieved my phone and I felt like I was being controlled to check my messages. I'd been ignoring everyone's calls recently. I only answered calls from the Lounge and Bear since I left him in charge of the bikers at home and he reported to me. My brothers have been trying to get to me but I've been shutting them out for no particular reason.My mind wandered off to Rachel like its been doing for days. I missed her so badly I thought of racing back home, kissing her senseless and asking her to marry me. I bet she would be so dazed from the kiss that she would say yes. Such an innocent beauty. For a moment I thought she would look for me or get my number and send me a lengthy love text... f**k Drew! You're imagining things like a lovesick teenager now.I unlocked my phone and clicked on the message icon to find 24 messages from family. 20 from Brent. What the f**k!I opened the first from Brent and its contents were vague and unclear.Drew call me back ASAP. Something's up. Think you should know.I opened the next one and a few others but still the same unclear message. I went to voice notes to find as many voice notes as text messages, all from Brent. I clicked on the first one but it relayed the same information as the first message. I played the most recent one and the information his voice conveyed chilled my blood.Drew what the f**k man! I've been trying to get to you for days. It seems Rachel is missing. She hasn't shown up to work in 3 days. No one knows anything. Reply ASAP.Rachel was missing. Rachel was taken. No this couldn’t happen. She was probably ill and resting in her house. But then, Brent was not dumb. He would've gone to confirm before calling me. Dread filled me because I knew who took her. I knew he must have been planning something. Everyone knew about Rachel and I. He must have heard the news. s**t! I felt like killing myself knowing she's been in the presence of that devil for over48 hours. What the hell would he have done to her?I wasted no more time thinking and beating myself up about it. That could be done later after all this s**t is over. I bet she wouldn't even want anything to do with me after this whole drama. The thought makes my heart clench. I walked over to the wardrobe and grabbed my small duffel bag throwing a few clothes in, my gun and other little contents. I grabbed my phone from the bed and rushed down to the kitchen to meet the boys."Go pack your s**t. We're heading back to shadow creek." I said silently and Dawg spoke up."Why? We're not done here." He questioned my order and I felt all the rage bubbling inside of me pour out like a f*****g volcano."I said Go pack your s**t! If I say we going back to shadow creek today we f*****g going! Don't f*****g question me Dawg. You've been crossing your boundaries a lot lately." I got all up in his face and he doesn’t back down. He wanted to fight with me. I scoffed at this and glared at him. I felt his defense crumble under my intense gaze and he turned, headed for his room. Wolfe quietly followed him for the room to pack also and I sighed. I went down to the basement to see if I could squeeze out some answers from Govi on one last try.“You’re back so soon,” he laughed.“Don’t make me mess you up badly because God help me, I will,” I glared at him as my fists balled at my side.“What is it this time?” he asked.“He has my girl. Tell me where the hell he is.”“I already told you I had no idea. I was supposed to only fake an attack. He paid me half to fake an attack and promised the other half if I got the job done which obviously, I didn’t.” “Well that sucks,” I turned my back on him and left the basement for the living room. Dawg and Wolfe returned few minutes later with small bags and we all left the house. We got on our bikes and rode back to shadow creek as fast as we could. I headed straight home with Wolfe and Dawg following behind me. I already called Brent to meet me there."Boss we followed you all the way back. Could you give us a hint on what is going on?" Wolfe asked calmly and I met his eyes. I knew all the pain and hurt I was feeling was reflected in my eyes."He took Rachel." I said and they both stared at me in shock."Shit." They both said in unison and on a normal day, I would've laughed because Wolfe and Dawg never jinxed each other. But there was no laughter or happiness in my body knowing she was out there. Knowing she was taken because of me. I looked up when I heard my name being called and I saw Brent already with us."Updates." I asked."The police found her bag and phone in the bushy path going up north. They also found a handkerchief and took it as sample. After testing they found chloroform on it which meant she was rendered unconscious and taken away." He explained and I resisted the urge the punch the wall.I had all the information on Rachel's disappearance and on the devil except the answer to the one question that had been in my mind; where on earth was he hiding?
