Outskirts of the City.Realizing that her yelling wasn"t really helping, Samantha calmed down a little and quietly followed the van. A little after they reached exited the tunnel, they entered a quiet neighborhood.
It has been 5 minutes since the silver van stopped in front of a rundown house.
Samantha sat in her car quietly while she observed. She doesn"t know what"s inside that old house, she didn"t want to move without a plan. So far, she just noticed that there were only 2 people in the van earlier plus Hannah, they brought her inside the house, carrying her while she was unconscious. "What the h.e.l.l"s taking the police so long? Seriously!" Not long after, Samantha saw the two people from earlier, got inside the van and drove off. It looked like that was their only job, to capture Hannah.
Samantha got impatient so she decided to get off the car. And with a baseball bat in her hand; which she always keeps in the trunk of her car, you know, for "in cases" like this, she sneakily walked towards the house and checked the windows but most of them were covered with fabric or wooden planks.
Samantha found a crack on the side and was able to peek through it. She couldn"t see Hannah at first but she saw someone walking with a DSLR camera in his hand. Samantha"s eyes darkened when she recognized the man, "Harry.", She gritted her teeth and muttered. Now the text threats all made sense to her. Harry was here for revenge.
After making sure that no one else was inside the house except for Harry, Samantha crept through one of the windows that she managed to open just enough for her body to fit.
Hannah was placed on a bed with her mouth covered with duct tape, her hands and feet were tied and she was positioned in a lewd pose with her pink dress torn off into shreds; her b.r.e.a.s.t.s exposed but her panties were still on. Harry was clicking and snapping away pictures of Hannah while she remained unconscious.
"You think you"re all that Hannah Chu?"
"You"re just some b.i.t.c.h I met while I was having fun here. But you"re so clingy!"
"You humiliated me in front of my family and my ex-fiancée, so now I"m gonna do the same to you."
Harry spoke with hatred. He was extremely angry at Hannah for what she did.
Samantha found the bedroom where Harry was keeping Hannah and without second thoughts, she pushed the door open and charged towards Harry. They both fell down the floor and Harry was quick to realize what was happening. He immediately tried to escape but Samantha grabbed his foot and once again Harry fell down.
"b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l Samantha, Let go of me!" Harry yelled as he clutched his arm.
"Do you think I"m stupid? Why the h.e.l.l would I do that?" Samantha hissed.
Harry kicked Samantha while they were both still down and he managed to hit her head.
"Ah!" Samantha hissed in pain but she didn"t want to give up, she didn"t want to let Harry get away with those pictures.
She was able to grab the baseball bat that fell on the side when she charged towards Harry earlier. At this point, police sirens were heard outside.
Harry quickly stood up and tried to run towards the back of the house but Samantha caught on to him as she raised her hands and swung the baseball bat sideways as if she was. .h.i.tting a baseball. She wanted to avoid killing him so she only aimed for his side instead and was able to hit his arm.
"Ah---! You b.l.o.o.d.y w.a.n.ker!", Harry fell on the floor screaming in pain with his broken arm.
When the police came in, Samantha pointed them to Harry and she hurriedly went back to where Hannah was. She took off her hoodie and covered Hannah as much as she could. And gently removed the rope and duct tape from her.
A little after that, Samantha and Hannah sat on the steps of the ambulance parked outside the house. Hannah woke up and she was pretty much shaken. It was somehow a good thing for her that she wasn"t conscious while she was stripped naked and being photographed by Harry; it would have traumatized her if she was aware of what was happening.
With an oxygen mask on her face, Hannah leaned her head on Samantha"s shoulder while the wound on Samantha"s forehead was being cleaned by the paramedic.
Harry was taken by the police. And after an initial interview, they found that Harry didn"t plan on harming Hannah physically, he said that he only wanted to take revenge on her. Harry tried to find out who was behind the online article that caused him extreme anxiety for constantly being attacked online, even some of his friends had already stayed away from him. His family, his ex-fiancee, and his ex"s family were all very angry. They spent a lot of money on the wedding preparation, only to find out that Harry was a womanizer and everyone who saw the article believed it. How could they still push through with the wedding?
Harry didn"t know who the culprit was but judging by the pictures that were in the article "Manwh.o.r.e of the Year", they were all from Country K. He flew back to the country and after meeting and threatening the other two women he was seeing, he was sure that Hannah was the culprit. Therefore, he started to send her threats to scare her. He paid some thugs to capture Hannah and took pictures of her so that he can post them online and have his revenge. He wanted Hannah to feel the humiliation he felt because of that online article.
When Samantha learned about it, she felt very guilty. Her heart ached after she realized that it was her. She caused this. Because of what she did, she put Hannah in danger. How could she live with that?
"Samantha!", a worried voice called her not far from the ambulance.
Samantha lifted her head, her eyes began to water when she saw Daniel. She doesn"t know why and how Daniel came. All she knew was that she was scared, extremely guilty and very tired ... and that he"s here and that she"s happy that he found her even though she doesn"t know how.
"All set." said the paramedic. The cut was actually just very small so all it needed was to be cleaned and disinfected.
"Daniel..." she whispered with her hoa.r.s.e voice. Hannah looked up and excused herself, she went to sit inside Samantha"s car.
Daniel was so worried on his way there and when he saw Samantha, he breathed out a sigh of relief realizing that she was okay apart from the small wound on her head. He walked towards her and kneeled in front of her. "What happened?" he said as he studied her, seeing the sorrow in her eyes. Daniel"s heart throbbed at the sight of his woman in this state.
Samantha who was feeling agitated immediately pounced on Daniel as soon as he knelt down in front of her.
