The Risk

The Drive

I couldn't speak, I'm terrified. His sick smile falters slightly as more tears fall free. We stare at each other for a moment as his grip begins to slowly let up on my face.

"Now. Be a good girl and listen closely."

My cheeks heat up at the nickname and I briefly look away feeling flustered, his hand letting go of my face so I can move freely

"You are going to drive us somewhere. You wont ask questions or try to run. Got it?"

He looks at me with raised eyebrows expecting an answer. I hesitant and look towards my door, thinking of running now but when I turn to look back at him, his face is hard and his eyes show anger.

He reaches for his back pocket and quickly pulls out a heavy duty black pocket knife. He flicks it open and looks at me dead in the face, my eyes never leaving the knife. He slowly brings it closer to me, pressing the tip of it gently against my throat.

"Any objections?" He says in a low voice. I finally look back up at him and shake my head slowly. The smile returns to his face as he puts the knife away painfully slow.

"Goodgirl" He reaches up and pat's my head gently before taking a seat in the passenger seat. I watch him as he pulls his phone out and begins texting. He turns towards me as if he forgot something and holds his hand out to me.

"Give me your phone!"

I blink at him for a moment before answering, "I dont have one..." He looks at me confused before give me a look down my body, sending a chill through me.

I jump as the van doors are slammed open and the other three men pile in. The bald guy looks at me annoyed as he sits in the seat behind me.

"The f**k is she doing here?" he glares before looking at the man next to me.

They glare at each other and I feel tension rise in the car. Thankfully before either could say anything the other two men I haven't spoke to yet speak up. One has dirty blond hair that is combed back nicely and a full sleeve tattoo down his right arm. I cant tell what it is because it was so dark. The other man was a brunette with long hair pulled into a bun and a cross necklace on.

The blond speaks first, "Haden shut up, if he decided to bring her he brings her. Get over it."

I glance at the guy whose name I now know is Haden and see him glaring at the blond. He looks like hes about to explode.

"Jax would have to be an i***t to bring her with us! Shes going to get us caught! and for what a quick f**k!!"

My eyes widen and my body goes tense at his words. Is that why hes bringing me, this Jax person wants to r**e me?! I start to shake and loose my breath but go completely still when I hear Jax speak. His voice is deathly calm as hes eyes stare daggers into Haden.

"Haden..do I need to show you why I'm the one in charge here and not you again?"

The car gets extremely quiet and I hold my breath as Haden huffs before turning away and looking out the window. When I look back at Jax hes looking at me, but any anger seems to of subsided.

"Ok Emma all you have to do is follow the GPS on my phone. If you touch it or turn wrong you will regret it. Ok?"

I shake my head ok and before long we are driving silently out of town.

I look over at the dash board and see it's been about two hours making it now almost two in the morning. My feet and legs are sore and aching to be stretched, my back is starting to hurt, and I'm forcing my eyes open constantly. The three men in the back have there phones in their faces while me and Jax are focused on the road. I feel him glancing over at me every now and then but try to ignore it the best I can. It was surprisingly quite and peaceful at the moment.

"BRO!!"

I gasp as the car jerks at how hard I jump from the sudden load noise. Jax quickly reaches over and grabs the wheel, straightening out the car before turning around and yelling at the blond.

"WHAT THE f**k WAS THAT CHAD!!" He was livid and glaring at the blond but the blond ignored him as he pushed himself between the front seats.

"The news article for us just came out!" I glance down at his phone as Jax looks at me quickly before turning back to him.

"Not now cha-", ignoring him Chad begins to read the article aloud anyway.

"Early Sunday morning Victoria Baker was found unconscious in the old Raymond's diner. Police are calling it a potential break in as all the money in the store was gone and the back door was left open when they arrived at 1:23am. After speaking with family members of the family dinner it was discovered that a girl named Emma has gone missing from the scene. Only for police later to discover that the girls name is not Emma, Her real name is Reina Goldman and she has been missing for almost a year now!" As he finishes talking I feel all eyes on me but I can't focus.

My heart is pounding and my mind is racing. Fear fills me at the thought of my abusers finding me and forcing me home. It would be a living nightmare, worse then before.

I hear Jax speak but he seems to have a smile on his face as he does, "Well doesn't that make life easier for me. Their going to assume you stole the money and ran away." He laughs and the others chuckle a bit making my grip tightens on the wheel.

Tears fill my eyes and I focus on my breathing as his laugh finally subsides. He looks at his phone before he looking back at me.

"We are making a stop for the night. Turn right on the next dirt road. and make sure you turn the lights off"

I don't respond and I'm glad he doesnt force me to as I do what he asks. The dirt road is bumpy and I slow down so it isn't such a rough drive.

I stiffen as I feel something rub up my side slowly. I glance down and see a hand coming from between the car and my seat, their fingers slowly rubbing up and down my side.

Glancing over at Jax I see he's focused on the road ahead of us and doesnt seem to notice my discomfort. I hold my breath as the hand begins to explore more of my side. I look in the rearview mirror and see they are all on their phones except for Hadden...

He smiles at me, it is a sickening smile that makes me what to throw up.

"We're here!" I look out the window at Jaxs words and see an old abandoned house that is strangely in the middle of no where. Once we reach the front on the house I feel the hand travel up to my breast. I slam on the breaks and shove it into park causing all of them to yell and fly forward.

I push the door open after ripping my seatbelt off and basically fall out of the car. I land on my butt and back away quickly as I look back into the car with tears in my eyes.

I make eye contact with Jax and freeze. He looks so angry, he opens his mouth to yell but pauses as he sees the hand quickly pull back out of sight. He looks back at me and the anger in gone, replaced with confusion before switching back to anger.

He quickly gets out of the car slamming the door behind him and storming around it. He grabs my arm and yanks me off the ground before letting go. The guys have started getting out of the van through the side door but before Haden could get out Jax grabs him by the collar and throws him out. Hadden barely catching himself before hitting the ground.

"I'm getting real tired of your s**t Hadden!!" He yells as he gets in his face.

"I was just having some fun chill out!"

"Well don't do it with her!"

"Why not?!" Hadden yells as his anger grows. "Its not like shes your Girlfriend!"

Jax seems to pause for a moment. "It doesn't matter. Shes off limits. and that's final. I do what I want. Not you!" After a short stare down Jax turns and grabs my arm dragging me towards the house.
