Falling For The FBI Agent

Chapter 18

"What do you want to eat?"Belle asked me as we joined the line.

"Just popcorn."I answered .I wasn't the least bit hungry after hearing Lena's voice answering John's phone.

She nodded."You need to cheer up."                

I was about to answer when my phone vibrated.I stared at the caller ID,any other day I would of been happy that John was calling--but not today.

With a sigh I cut the call and placed the phone back into my pocket.

"Was that him calling?"she asked.

I nodded.

She smiled."It's good you didn't answer."

I managed to give Belle a smile."You know you didn't tell me about any guys in your life."

She shrugged her shoulders."That's because there is none.I'm not as lucky as you to fall for an FBI agent."she teased.

I laughed."Trust me Belle,falling for an FBI agent isn't easy."

"Miss Patterson?"someone said behind us.

I narrowed my eyes at the guy behind us,he was tall and well built with brown chestnut eyes.

"Who is asking?"I asked suspiciously.

The guy grabbed my shoulders lightly and leaned down so only I could hear what he was saying."FBI agent Harry Bridson.Your life is in danger ,you have to leave with me now."

"Where is your badge?"I inquired,not sure whether I should trust him.

"Rosella what is going on?"Belle asked next to me.

If the guy was annoyed with me he didn't show it,he was definitely good at hiding his emotions for his face was blank as he pushed his leather jacket away to reveal his badge at the edge of his belt.

I swallowed,he was telling the truth which meant my life really was in danger.

I grabbed Belle's arm."We have to follow this guy ."

Hey eyes widened."I don't understand--"

"I don't have time to explain Belle,we need to leave now."

She nod her head as we followed Harry out to the parking lot.

"What's wrong?"I asked when he stopped walking.

"Stay here."he said pulling out a gun.

Belle gasped clutching my arms tightly.

Harry walked up to two men who were standing a little distance away from us.

I couldn't make out what he was saying to them but whatever it was got them angry as one pulled out a gun and pointed it at him.

Belle screamed out next to me and I looked in horror as three other guys stood behind us,one of them holding Belle by her hair.

"Let her go!"I screamed.

"We will once you come with us quietly."one of the guy said.

I nodded."Just let her go."

The one holding Belle slammed her head against the wall.

I screamed again when she fell to the ground in a loud thud completely unconscious.

Harry shouted something at me as he shot one of the guys but I couldn't hear anything,too shocked from everything happening.

One of the kidnappers covered my mouth as he forced me into a car.

I felt a tear escape my eyes ,Belle was hurt and Harry was fighting to stay alive.

What was going to happen now?

........................................................................

John's POV:

I jumped out the car ,my heart beat increasing at the sight in front of me.

"Harry!"I shouted seeing the blood in his hands.

He looked up from where he was stooped down next to an unconscious girl on the ground.

"Is that her friend?"I asked stooping down to take a look at the damage done to her head.

He nodded."I'm sorry John.I couldn't protect her,they have her."

I closed my eyes shut as a familiar pain pierced through me,the last time I felt this way was when I had lost my parents.

"But you still have a chance of getting her back now."he said.

My eyes shut open."How?"I asked desperately.

I would do anything to get her back .

He raised up swiftly."I placed a tracker on their vehicle.Once they didn't switch it already you can track it on this."he said handing me a tracking device.

"I know you wouldn't let me down Harry."I said as I grabbed the device from his hands racing over to the car.

"James and Colin you stay her with Harry and handle everything.Miles,you're coming with me."I commanded starting the engine and pressing down on the gas pedal.

"Get agent Brent on the phone for me."I ordered .

"What's up?"Brent asked on the other line.

"They have her."

There was silence on the other end.

"Bullshit---how the hell did they get a hold on my sister on your watch!"he shouted over the phone.

"Look I can't deal with your s**t now.We have a tracker on the vehicle that took her.I'm chasing it right now."

"You're right,this is not the time.Tell me the road you're in, I'm coming."

"No.You wouldn't make it in time.I want you to call Harry and take Rosella's friend to the hospital."

There was silence on the line again.

"How bad is it?"he finally asked.

"We don't know but when I saw her she was unconscious and bleeding on her forehead."

I heard like he hit something next to him at the news.

"Get back my sister John and make sure you kill those bastards.I'll take care of Belle."he said cutting off the call.

Oh I would do much more than just kill those bastards.They didn't know who's girl they were messing with--My girl.

"What's going on?"Miles asked me as I handed him the device.

"We have to track this vehicle."I explained."How far are we from it?"I asked.

"With the speed you're going we should reach them within five minutes."

I mashed the pedal the max it could go--then now I should reach them in less than two minutes.

I entered onto the highway and knew immediately which vehicle Rosella was in.

They were driving recklessly ,causing other cars to run off the road.

My eyes widened as a car headed straight for us.

"s**t John,that car is heading for us!"Miles shouted.

I mashed the breaks as the car screeched and swirled off the road.Not wasting another second I pulled back onto the road mashing the gas pedal and headed straight for the vehicle which was still in view.

"What do you plan to do when we reach the car?"Miles asked looking at me as if I were insane.

"I plan on getting my girl back."I said before I could stop myself.

Miles whistled next to me and I shot him a glare.

He chuckled."You've got it bad dude."

All conversation was cut when I saw her,she looked so freaking scared I wanted to kill every single one of those bastards.

She was in between two men looking so vulnerable.I just wanted to pull her into my arms and tell her that everything would be okay.

"Take the wheels Miles."

"What the hell are you planning to do John!"he shouted.

"Just take the damn wheels!"

He took the steering wheel from me after much protest.

"Get me close to the car."I said climbing out the window.

.................................................................

Rosella's POV:

I didn't know what to do,I was trapped between the two men next to me.

"What the hell!"one of the men shouted next to me.

"What is he trying to do?"the other man asked.

What were they talking about?

My eyes widened when I saw what they were looking at.John was literally out of the car hanging on for his life looking like he was about to jump.

"John--nooo!"I screamed.

His eyes looked up when he heard my scream and then they narrowed with determination.

My heart skipped a beat when he jumped and I forced myself to take deep breaths to calm my racing heart.

One of the men pulled out a gun as John tried to enter the car.I had to stop him from hurting John and I did the only thing I could think off--I bit him.

The kidnapper let out a silent curse and slapped me hard,I could feel the blood on my lips as he pushed me against the other man next to me.

That gave John enough time to shoot the driver and climb into the front seat of the car.He pulled the car to a stop with a screech and jumped out pointing a gun at the men next to me.

"Let her go!"He gritted out.

One of the kidnapper grabbed me by my hair and dragged me out of the car with him.

"I said let her go."John repeated dangerously.

I felt the kidnapper reach for his gun but he didn't get to finish as two shots were fired and he dropped to the ground in pain.

The car behind us pulled off at the same time as the last kidnapper got away.

John didn't seemed to care as he just stood there staring at me like he couldn't believe I was there.

I wanted to run to him,to hug him but I couldn't move from the shock of everything that had happened today.

For a moment we just stared at each other until the pressure in my chest threatened to crush my ribcage.

He seemed to read my mind as he crossed the distance between us and lifted me into his arms,crushing me to him.

I wrapped my arms around him tightly holding on for my life.

He pulled away cupping my cheeks with his hands."Are you okay?"he asked.

I nodded and then his eyes narrowed at my bleeding lips,there was a murderous expression on his face as he leaned down and punched the already bleeding kidnapper on the ground.

He picked him up only to punch him again."I'm going to make you wish you never laid a single hand on her."he promised as he gave him another punch.

"John stop!"another agent shouted dragging him off the kidnapper."We need him alive to get answers."

John shut his eyes closed."Make sure I'm the one who gets to extract the answers from him."he spat out angrily before he turned to me and crushed me to him for the second time tonight.

He pulled away to get his phone out of his pocket.

"Yeah Brent."

My brother was calling him?

"Yeah I got her next to me."

His eyes narrowed at something my brother said.

"One of them got away but that's good since we have a tracker on the car.One of them is in critical condition and the other is dead.Also your sister would be staying at my place tonight."he said calmly.

I would be staying where?

"Look Brent,one of the kidnapper escaped,we have agents all over the place tracking and searching for him to find the real culprits behind this case,it isn't safe for your sister home,especially not tonight.I'll only feel comfortable if she were with me tonight."he explained himself annoyed at whatever my brother had said.

John pulled the phone away from his ears handing them to me."Your brother wants to talk to you."

I nodded taking the phone from his hands.

"Hi Brent."I said trying not to cry.

"Rosella are you okay?"he asked sounding worried and pissed off.

"I am,John saved me in time.But Belle--"I cried remembering how she had fallen unconscious.

"She is good.We are taking her to the hospital.She will be okay in the next few hours."he said softly.

I cried."I'm sorry Brent,I shouldn't have left home---"

"Shhh--it's okay.You're not at fault.Take deep breaths and relax.John will bring you home tomorrow and everything will be okay.We are doing everything we are to catch these kidnappers .Okay?"he said.

I wiped my tears and nodded into the phone."I love you Brent.Tell mom them I'm okay and that I love them too.Also tell Belle that I love her and I'm sorry she was hurt because of me."

"I will.I love you too.Be safe."he said before he cut the call.

John took the phone from me taking my hands as he led me to his car.

Despite everything I've been through today I was still thrilled to know I was going to spend the night with John.
