LIANEY felt her eyes dryly open, she swallowed thickly and looked around the dark confined space
She has been shoved into. She was scrunched up in an uncomfortable position and couldn't find any room to move.. of course, she was in the trunk of a moving car "you have got to be kidding me" she sighed. She would assume her  husband usually had more class then this, maybe he was more of a drug you asleep and let you ruff it out in the back seat, but maybe  this girl had a vendetta against her.

MITCH paced around the office, anxiety filling every empty pore in his body. He quietly vowed to himself that he would find Lainey no matter what, no matter what he had to do or what Irene had to say.

The door opened and Mitch snapped around, Irene and Stan walked in with worried expressions painted on their faces.

"What's happening?" Mitch asked

"We believe that Noah sent someone to her, someone who has to be a mole here." Irene explained

"What do we do?" He asked

"We have elevator surveillance and fortunately, we identified the woman to took her"  Irene opened up the file and pulled out a picture of someone whom had just recently started to work with the cia, she was more in the technical area but it was enough to feed any information to Noah.

"So we find her?" Mitch asked

Irene sighed "Mitch we both know it's never as easy as that"

Mitch shook his head "well what then?" He asked "we can just sit here and do nothingl his voice raised a little and Stan shot him a stern look, Mitch pulled out a chair and sat down letting out a few huffs.

"We have told every officer in every state from here to anywhere Noah could be to send apb's out. We can't do anything until we have a location" Stan explained

The car came to a quick stop and Lainey was jolted forward. She let out a series of groans as her body couldn't bend to the shape of the car. The trunk opens and Lainey was blinded by the bright sun of the daylight, she squinted as she looked towards the mysterious face, "you could have at least let me slide around the back" Lainey spoke dryly

The woman didn't bother with a reply, she grabbed Lainey by her duck-taped hands and pulled her up "you aren't my problem anymore" she smiled fakely

Lainey raised her brows "Problem?" She asked "I've been out cold... and in your trunk" she pointed out
"Well who's problem am I?" Lainey asked

"Whoever your idiot husband sends"  she sighed. She pulled out a box of cigarettes and lit one up in front of Lainey "you smoke?" She asked

Lainey hesitated"sure why not"  she shrugged. Lainey never smoked all that much, she did on and off when she was younger but she gave it up due to the fact she never had the money to afford the habit.

The woman pulled out another cigarette, she lit it and put it into laineys mouth. Lainey sucked the nicotine in and grabbed the cigarette with her taped up hands and pulled out it of her mouth, she blew out a buff of air and looked at the mysterious woman confused "you are oddly nice for a kidnapper"

She scoffed "Yeah well I didn't want to do this" she admitted "you know this started because I needed some cash, I was living on the streets and he picked me up and then I had to get that job with the cia and I worked my ass off for it and you know what, I like it. They pay me good, I have a real contract and nothing comes with a price and then Noah.. Noah just has to take it away" she ranted.

She let out a breath at the end and looked back at Lainey who was staring at her in disbelief. Lainey was so in shock by the fact this woman just opened her mouth and let her problems free to the person she was kidnapping.

"Hey, at least he didn't fake his death and get your daughter killed" Lainey shared her problems as if it was a competition.

Her eyes widened and her mouth gaped open as she looked at Lainey "You had a kid?" She asked

"I was about to" she nodded "I was 6 months pregnant with a girl when he "died" she explained

"Wow" she scoffed "what a dick" she shook her head

"So what exactly is happening?" Laineys asked

"Well assuming the cia are in my case by now, Noah has sent someone to meet us here and take you to
Him so he begins, The journey of being with you once again" she mocked his tone

Lainey laughed "what he thinks I wanna be with him?" She asked

"Yep" she nodded

"Can I ask you something?" Lainey asked

The woman nodded her head and blew out a puff of smoke

"My husband won't let you leave will he?" She asked

The woman shook her head and looked at Lainey, her face had slowly been painted with relief  as someone finally asked that question "no" she spoke quietly "he keeps saying I ow him something, everytime I do something he just makes me do another and now.." her voice broke with tears "now I'm too deep and I can't escape" she explained

Lainey let out a small breath as she processed what this woman had just told her. Her husband was truly a monster and all that time she spent with him, he merely acted as the person she had dreamed the most of "What's your name?" Lainey asked

"Rebecca, but everyone calls me becs" she told her

"Well becs there are 2 ways this could go" Lainey began to explain "you could let me go, I could rough you up a bit and say I got free or you can come with me. Explain it was a hostage situation and you had no choice" she listed

"No I couldn't" Rebecca shook her head "he'd find me and.." She let Lainey figure out the rest of that sentence

"They can put you in protective care until this is over" Lainey reassured "look I know it's scary to leave this bubble you are in, but it's not doing you any favors and the longer you stay there the worse he will make it."

"But I don't have anything, i don't have a real job,
I don't have money that's not his, everything I have now is what he gave me"

Lainey looked at her with a soft smile, she knew her life. Lainey was picked out of the long list of rich woman, she was a given a life that she could dream of. She has a husband a big house and soon a family but everything she had, he gave her and maybe if he didn't fake his death, she too would be just as trapped... she was just as trapped, trapped by the grief he caused her and he knew what he was doing. Keeping her alone until one day he shows up at her doorstep and wins her over with half assed excuses as to why he faked his death and soon after convince her to work with him.. a life she never wanted to lead but somehow almost did. Until Mitch came to her door one day and saved her from her bubble.

"You can get a job, you can get a small apartment. You can live a life without him." She smiled "Trust me, I know it seems impossible but once you step out that door and feel the fresh air take you, it's amazing." Lainey described

Rebecca hesitated before answering, she was stuck and didn't know how to escape and here this woman was, the woman she has kidnapped was offering her an out, all she had to do was say yes. She took in a breath of air "yes" she nodded and exhaled "I'll go,
I'll leave"

"Alright" Lainey nodded "you are gonna call Noah and tell him they found you. Say the cat broke down and they found us" she explained

"Lainey" Rebecca pointed

Lainey turned and seen a black car about to reach them "that's your back up isn't it?" She asked

"Yeah" Rebecca sighed
