Saved from danger
****Chloe****
"If you make any voice that will be your last. Do you understand?"He whispers into my ear. I nod to answer him without any voice.
"Good girl. Now get in your car and we will drive away from here."He points to the driver's seat and I follow his order. I fasten the seatbelt and he hops in the passenger seat. His face is covered with a beanie with holes on it for his eyes and mouth. He is a muscular guy and very tall. I don't think I ever met him before. I start the engine and he tells me where I should go. That is when I see a knife in his right hand. I need to be careful. I don't want to die tonight so I will follow his orders until I have an opportunity to escape.
"Please sir…let me go. I will give you the car or money but please let me go. I won't tell anybody about this."I start to beg for him and let some fake tears leave my eyes. I sniff to pretend that I am crying and that makes him have some mercy for me.
"Not gonna happen. I have an order to follow and I won't change the plan. Keep driving."He yells and points to the road. I follow his every instruction. I see a police car come our way. I step on the gas pedal and drive my car into the police car. It was not a fatal collision but enough for my hostager to fall through the windshield. He rolls down on the hood and falls on the asphalt road. I heard him groan out loud and it must be painful to land on the hard ground. Luckily the seatbelt saved me and I ended up unharmed. The police officers quickly get out of their car and examine the scene. One is checking out the man on the ground and holding his pistol when he sees the knife. The other comes to me and checks if I am okay. He has a little problem opening his door but with more strength he does it. He opens the door carefully on my side.
"Ma'am, are you okay? What happened? Are you drunk?"He asks me with a worried face and examines my body for any injury. He is a young and good-looking police officer. That uniform is fit for every curve of his firm body. I love uniforms and when I see this close to me I can't deny that it is very attractive.
"I am fine thank you. No, I didn't drink tonight. That man tried to kidnap me. He held a knife and said that he would bring me somewhere. Someone ordered him to do this job. I was so scared. I can't call for any help so when I saw your car I had no choice but to run into your car to get some attention from you."I tell him the whole story quickly. The tears I hold before now flow down my face. I feel relieved that everything is okay now. The adrenaline rushes through my veins and I feel a little exhausted. The officer opens my door and when he is near me I grab his shirt and pull him closer to me. I cry on his chest and he let me do it. He wraps his arms around me and comforts me with soft and slow hand moves on my back. It feels so nice and I feel better.
"It is okay. Everything is gonna be alright. It is over now. I need to check your body for any injury, miss."He says calmly and I agree with him with a nod.
"Carl, go and handcuff that guy before he wakes up."He shouts to the other officer and he quickly does as he said. I hear the handcuff noise and the bad guy groans again when the officer helps him stand up.
"You're safe now. Let me check your body. You might be injured but didn't feel it because of the adrenaline in your blood. I will unfasten your seatbelt. Don't be afraid I will protect you."He sounds so kind and his dimples show up on his face. I can examine his features from a closer view. He has sandy blonde hair which is cut short on the side and longer on the top because it falls some in front of his eyes under his hat. He shaved today because his face is so smooth and not any stubble can be seen. He has dark brown eyes. He touches my face and neck to see if I am bleeding from somewhere. He moves slowly down with his hands and examines my body there too.
"It looks like nothing serious on your body, only a little cut on your forehead. The ambulance will arrive soon and take care of your wound. It will be okay I promise."He says with confidence. I know he tells the truth. I feel safe with him and his voice makes me relax.
"I am officer Alex Johnson by the way. May I know your name? I will need my paperwork as well."He reaches out his hand and introduces himself with a cute smile on his face. That smile can melt any woman's panties just in a second.
"My name is Chloe Smith. Nice to meet you, officer Alex Johnson. Thank you for your kindness. I will help you with the paperwork."I offer to help him and we fill the papers with my information. He starts to blush while nodding to accept my help. His colleague already put the handcuffed bad guy in the back seat while waiting for the reinforcement to come. He cursed and tried to get free but he couldn't win over two men. Finally, silence comes when they put him in the backseat and shut the door on his face.
I sit on the police car hood and a blanket is wrapped around me. Alex took it out not long ago from their trunk and put it carefully on my back. He stands in front of me and watches me. I told him everything from the beginning and he asked if I had any enemy who wanted to hurt me. I am not sure if I can tell the truth to him about my true identity. So I just tell him a part of the truth. My real family is my past and I can't tell anybody about them.
Soon the ambulance car arrived at the location of the accident and a tow car also. The reinforcements pick up the handcuffed guy and bring him to jail. The tow guy put my car on the trailer and I can see the damage more clearly. I need to change the lamp, the bumper, and the mudguard. The police car only has damage on the driver's side door. Hopefully, it won't cost much and they will fix it soon. I need it to go to work and grocery shopping also. The paramedic treats my wound and checks my vital signs. They disinfected my wound and put on a bandage. After they said I need a good rest and avoid sudden movements. I might have a little concussion but nothing serious to worry about.
"I will drive you home."Alex offers when another policeman opens his car door for me. He immediately whispers something into his colleague's ear and the other just nods and jumps into the other car. Alex opens the passenger door for me with a smile on his face. I quickly get into the car where my handbag waits for me. I have never sat in a police car before but I can say that it has a very comfy seat. The heat is on when Alex closes my door and after sitting in the driver's seat. He quickly types in the GPS my address and after stepping on the gas pedal. The trip was quiet until we reached my house. I feel so exhausted after everything that has happened to me. I reach to open the door when Alex reaches for my other hand. I look at him with a smile on my face.
"Yes, officer Alex Johnson? Did I forget something?"I ask him with a questioning look on my face.
"Forget about formalities. Can I see you again, Chloe?"He asks nicely with puppy eyes.
"Sure forget it. What do you mean?"
"I want to make sure you're safe and maybe ask you out for dinner."He scratches his head from nervousness and he can't look into my eyes. He is so cute when he acts like that.
"Sure. I will wait for your call. You know my address and my phone number. Good night Alex."
"Good night, Chloe. Sleep enough and stay safe."He finally melts up and smiles at me. He hugs me and also gives me his card with his private phone number on it. After he quickly gets out of the car and opens my door for me. He leans on the car and waits until I enter Janet's house. I hear his car leave after I shut the entrance door. Janet welcomed me with worry clearly visible on her face. I tell her everything and then take a shower. I sent a text message to my boss that I will be absent tomorrow. After that, I crawl into my bed and soon fall asleep.
