Chapter 14: What Is Going On?

Kara POV

Again it was a restless night. I kept dreaming about David. I start school next week, and how am I going to focus on my studies and work and not daydream about him? I got up and took another shower. I did my hair and wore a pair of pants and a long sleeve shirt to put under my uniform shirt. Yesterday I got cold at the diner.

I went downstairs and there was a note.

" Your breakfast is in the refrigerator. I will be home late. There is a frozen pizza you can cook for dinner. Love Mother." the note read.

I went to the refrigerator. She made waffles. All I had to do was put them in the microwave for 2 minutes. I quickly heated up my waffles and then headed to work. I had to walk today because mother was at work. I was halfway down the block when two men approached me. I was already late for work. I did not need this today.

" Excuse miss." one of them said.

" Yes, can I help you?" I asked.

" Do you know a David Bier?" he asked.

" Yes I do." i responded.

" Good." he stated.

What did he mean good. He gave me this look like it wasn't good. Then all of a sudden he threw a bag over my head. Everything was dark. Someone picked me up, and then I was thrown into a trunk of some sort. I started banging on the hood.

" LET ME GO." I was screaming.

But my plea fell on deaf ears. I heard the engine start. What is going on? I knew David, but that is it. I'm one of his students. The car came to a sudden stop. I heard people yelling, then nothing. At this point, I'm scared out of my wits. I was starting to hyperventilate. Then there was the sound of the trunk opening. I pushed the trunk open and climbed out.

They weren't very good kidnappers. They didn't even tie me up. I got out and took the black bag off my head. David was fighting them. He threw a right hook, then a round house kick. I knew he was fighting for me. But why was I even taken in the first place? I wasn't more to him than his student.

One of them came up to me and threw a punch at me. I blocked it and ducked. I then attempted to throw a right hook myself. It landed on the man's cheek. I was surprised I was able to hit him. He then hit me square in the jaw, and it knocked me back. I was distracted by the fact I had actually hit someone.

David hit one so hard it knocked him out. The other one got scared and ran away.

" What the hell is going on?" I demanded.

" Are you OK?" David asked.

" NO" I shouted.

" What did they want with me?" I asked.

" I do not know," he stated.

" They asked if I knew you and I said yes." I stated.

"I'll take you to work," he stated.

" FIne." I stated.

I really didn't want to go to work after that, but it did not matter. I wanted to know what the hell was going on. I had no ties with David, so why kidnap me? I was silent all the way to work. As I was getting out of the car, I turned to David.

" You need to tell me what's going on," I stated.

" The less you know the better," he stated.

"I'll see you in class later," he stated.

Yes he will, and he's going to explain to me what is going on. I didn't deserve that. I made it to work. I was 30 minutes late. That is great. I was late on my second day. Cindy came up to me.

" Are you OK?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm fine." I stated.

" I heard what happened." she stated.

" OK" I stated.

What was there? A bulletin that went out or something. Did they see it? Oh, well, I just want my shift to be over. I was going through my day. Breakfast was over and the lunch rush started. We were pretty busy. Two guys walked into the diner. They looked scary. But they were in my section. I went over to their tables.

" What can I get started for you?" I asked.

" We will have 2 cokes," one of them said.

"OK, did you need a minute to look over the menu?" I asked.

" No, Kara, we need to talk to you." one of them stated.

" Look, mister, I do not know you and I will not speak with you," I stated.

" Kara, we want to do this the easy way," he stated.

I did not know the men. So I had no desire to talk to them. I just moved here. David was my sensi. We aren't dating or anything like that. So why was I being targeted? I finished my shift at the diner. The two men were out front waiting for me. There was no way I was going out the front door.

I went out the back door and walked down the alley. I turned the corner and there was the dojo. I had discovered this route the other day when I was applying for work. I went straight to the dojo. David was teaching a class. It is 2 in the afternoon. My class doesn't start until 4. He noticed me when I walked in.

" What are you doing here so early?" he asked.

" There were two men that came into the diner," I stated.

He had a concerned look on his face. That told me that it wasn't good. I went to the locker room after that. I was sitting there when David came in.

"Are you OK?" he asked.

" What are you doing in here? This is the ladies' locker room," I stated.

" I don't care are you OK." he asked again.

" Im fine." I stated.

" Good." He stated.

"From now on you will wait for me to pick you up, you will jog with me and I will take you home," he stated.

Then he just walked out. What was that all about? We are not even dating. So why was he acting this way? Am I in danger? Who are those men? I don't get it. I decided to just sit there and wait for class to start.
