Save Me

David arrived at the location thirty minutes later and taking the binoculars from Firefly a sick, sadistic smile curved his lips when he looked through the lenses. There she was sitting by the pond talking with that young kid from the diner. Oh this was going to be easy. David had dispatched his men to take care of any obstacles and that included any guards on the property. David did not want to be interrupted when he finally got his hands on her again.

He handed the binoculars back to Firefly and then walked back to his car. "I am waiting on my men to give me the signal and then I will go retrieve her. Please take care of the young man for me. I don't want any lose ends."

Firefly nodded as David drove off and he settled back into position. He went into his bag and pulled out his tools of the trade and placed them in his pocket before he started to make his way down the hillside and toward the property. He was about half a mile away and was sure that by the time he arrived on the property the guards would have been handled by David's men. He should have an easy approach.

Felicity laughed as Roy filled her in on the conversation he had recently had with someone online. The woman had seemed nice and they were talking about meeting when she had let it slip that she was still married but in an "open" relationship. Felicity was so very glad to not be in the rat race that was dating but she wondered how things would go with her and Oliver once David was dealt with. Would Oliver still want to be with her? Would he still love her?

Felicity leaned her head against Roy's shoulder as he told her about the woman he was planning on asking out and Felicity hoped the young lady would be a nice one. Roy deserved the best and only the best.

The sun was starting to get low and it was getting a little chilly out and when Felicity shivered Roy decided it was time to go back inside. Oliver should be arriving soon and so he held out his hand and helped her to her feet before she wrapped her arm through his and started walking back to the house.

Roy glanced around as they walked, his senses suddenly on high alert. They had passed the spot where an agent had been earlier and now the gentleman was gone. They walked a little further and he noticed that another agent was missing and as the hair on the back of his neck stood up his steps faltered. Something was wrong and he could feel it.

Felicity looked at him perplexed when he suddenly stopped and he quickly stepped in front of her as the back door opened and David walked out of the house. Felicity gasped in surprise and Roy sensing her fear, went on the defensive. He had never seen David but his gut told him exactly who this man was.

"Well, my love. It took me long enough to find you." David sneered from the top of the back porch. Felicity gripped Roy's arm as she peered at David over Roy's shoulder. How the hell did he find them?

They heard someone walk up from behind and when they turned and saw an unknown man standing there, David smiled. "I would like for you both to meet Firefly. I brought him along to handle any obstacles that got in my way." He looked pointedly at Roy who glared at him ready to defend Felicity with his life if he had to.

Felicity looked around trying to figure out anything that might get help them out of this situation. She had noticed the guards missing too and was fairly sure that David had dispatched of them all. She just prayed he did not have them killed.

David laughed when he saw her looking around, "Oh my dear, the guards that you had around you have all been taken care of, and don't worry about your dear Oliver. He has been taken care of as well."

Felicity's eyes flew back to his as a sour feeling settled in the pit of her stomach.

"What do you mean?"
