it’s illegal.”
    “How many were there? 
I only went from my room, to the shower to his office.  I was his food so I
never went where the others were.”
    “Seventy I think
they said.  They’re at various hospitals in the area.  Most of them are awake
and wondering what happened.  He had them brain washed.  They all think that
they’ve been living their lives as always.  None of them has any idea of what
happened to them or that they’ve been working at Devlin.  He only used most of
them to work and steal from Bryant.”
    “Wow.  Okay, I
really have to pee.”  She pulled her hand from Jake’s and he was instantly
awake and on his feet.  His eyes flashing and his body rigid.  “It’s okay
Jake.”  Lauren was sitting up. 
    “Oh sweetheart. 
Don’t, you’ll hurt yourself.”  He tried to push her gently back to the bed.
    “She needs the
restroom son.  Help her.”  Jake lifted her easily now and carried her to the
small bathroom across the room.
    “Okay I got it
from here.”  Lauren tried to pull away.
    “You’re still weak
Lauren.”  His eyes were so full of concern it nearly broke her heart but the
urgency that went with a full bladder turned her bitchy.
    “Jake I’m going to
wet myself, let me go.”  Her voice was shrill and he released her.  His mother
laughed loudly at the look on his face.
    “That’s panic son,
don’t take it personally.  Just think of how bad you would have to go after
four days.”  Victoria got up from her chair and straightened her clothes.  “I’m
going home.  I will get your room ready.  She will probably be released in the morning.” 
He nodded.  The toilet flushed and he could hear her washing her hands.  The
door opened and he looked down into the beautiful hazel eyes that had haunted
his dreams for a year now.
    “I’m sorry I
yelled at you.”  She murmured.  Jake scooped her up and held her to him. 
Lauren kissed his neck and cheek.  He put her down on the hospital bed.  “Can I
leave?  I don’t want to stay here.”
    “You can yell at
me anytime you want to sweetheart.  The doctor has to release you but I will
get the paperwork started.  You’re coming home with me by the way.”  Lauren
nodded.  “Devlin cleaned out your apartment and we have no idea what he did with
your belongings.  It was the same for every person he stole.  They left your
car though.”  Lauren smiled.  Little red was always waiting and reliable.  “I’m
going to buy out your rental agreement and you’ll live with me from now on.” 
Her brows knitted but she nodded.  “Get dressed and I will find the doctor.” 
Lauren went to the closet and got the Devlin clothes out.  Loose cotton pants
and shirt.  Everyone wore the same thing.  She’d seen them in the dirty clothes
bin in the locker room but she’d never seen the people that wore them.

    Jake carried her
from the car into his private wing at the estate.  “Please put me down.”  She
giggled. 
    “You’re still
weak.”  She scoffed.
    “I need a shower. 
I feel gross.”  She said when he finally put her down on the bed.  “Please?” 
Jake nodded and shucked his clothes.  “And I never want to see these clothes
again.”  She flung them down.  He studied her naked form.  “I think I lost some
weight.”  She looked her figure over in a mirror.  “He only fed me fish, bran,
and salad, something about keeping my blood thin and sweet.  I wanted a
cheeseburger so bad I could’ve cried.”
    “I’ll get you one
but you should work up to it.  The doc said a light diet for the first few
days, okay.”  She looked disappointed.  “You’ll make yourself sick sweetheart. 
Come, we’ll shower.”  He took her by the hand and led her into the shower
room.  Jake adjusted the water and pulled her in with him.  He shampooed her
hair then rubbed shower gel over her skin until she practically glowed.  Lauren
looked around for a razor.  “What do you
