RESCUED

Ava noticed the car at the last minute and jumped out of the way, just in time. She fell on the ground, groaning when her back hit the tarred road. That was definitely going to leave a scar.

"Can't you watch where you're going? You almost bashed my car!" The man got of the car and yelled, pointing at her.

Ava got up a little too quickly and staggered. She took a deep breath and closed her eues, trying to find her footing. "I'm sorry, I just really need your help."

"I don't know you and I don't care about your problems." He walked towards the driver's seat and Ava ran after him, grabbing him by his legs.

Goosebumps were running up her arm. The man after her was still after her. If this man didn't help her then she'd be dead. "Please don't leave me." She hugged his legs tight, clinging on even when he kicked her.

"Get off me. What do you think you're doing?" The man struggled to break free but she held on, her knees scraping the ground.

Kim was going to have a field day cleaning all her wounds.

"A man is after me and I don't have anywhere else to go. I managed to escape.."

He managed to free his legs and stepped aside, stepping on her fingers as he passed.  "I don't want to hear your sob story. Don't touch me, you're getting sand all over me."

Ava screamed as pain shot up her arm but she made no move to check it. "You have to help me, please, please."

He ignored her and opened the door. Ava rose to her feet, wincing at the pain in her body. She crawled towards the front of the car and rested against it, tears filling her eyes. "Get away from my car, I have to get to work.."

"Please just help me get to the police station, I have to report something. You don't have to stay after that." She begged as a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

He shook his head and got inside the car, turning on the ignition. "I can't afford to be late for my meeting. You'll have to manage all by yourself." He slammed the door shut and Ava gasped.

She raised her hands and started banging the bonnet, the sound echoing throughout the area. Everywhere was so deserted with not a soul in sight.  

"Are you out of your goddamned mind? Get off my car!!" He screamed opening the door.

Ava ignored him and continued hitting it until he got down from the car and stood in front of her. She let the tears fall, looking at him through clouded eyes. "I really need your help. I'm desperate. All I need is for you to take me to the police station."

"Is that it?" He asked with a sigh. "I don't have time to waste."

Ava shook her head and wiped her face sliding down the bonnet of the car. "Yes, just get me to the police station please."

"I hope I don't regret this, you can.."

Ava didn't wait for him to finish his statement before she ran towards his car. She opened the back door and got in, swooning at how good and comfortable the seats were. "It's so soft." She closed her eyes, her heart relaxing to a regular pace once again.

There was no danger anymore, she was safe.

"Do not get my chair dirty." He instructed, getting into the driver's seat.

"Let's go!" She yelled when he turned on the ignition and zoomed off.

**

"Get out." He commanded, holding the back door open and she sighed.

How were they already at the police station so soon?  "Thank you so much." She gushed, pushing her disappointment aside and getting out of the car. "I'll take it from here."

He turned his back to her, closing the door and getting into the driver's seat in one swift movement. "I don't care what you do. Goodbye now."

Ava started at the building with determination in her eyes. She could do this. All she had to do was walk in there, talk to an officer and have them arrest those guys. Simple!

"Aren't you going to go inside?" She heard a voice behind her and she turned staring at him in shock.

"But you said you had to leave."

He ignored her, walking towards the building. "That's none of your business."

Ava chuckled at his attitude and ran after him, walking extra fast to meet up with his pace. "Hey." She greeted one of the men as soon as she walked in.

He walked off, ignoring her and she frowned, walking towards a man sitting behind a table. He was in his uniform and he seemed to be talking on the phone. Ava watched him put the phone down and signal her over.

She walked up to him. "Sir…" but he didn't let her finish.

"Mr Bancroft, we've been expecting you." He said making Ava frown. She turned her neck to look at who the man was addressing and saw that it was her savior.

The man held his hand out menacing to shake him but Mr Bancroft ignored it, looking around the room as if searching for something. "Where is your boss?"

Ava found herself watching from the side as the arrogant man handled everything. The officers all seemed to know him very well. She didn't care as long as he got the police to arrest those guys.

"Mr Bancroft, I already sent some of my men to find.." a short man said walking out of an office and all the officers in the room rose to their feet.

He must be their boss.

Ava watched Mr Bancroft rise to his feet and noticed how tall he looked.

"I need you and your men to handle a case for me."

The short man nodded, taking a seat after pushing one of the officersaway. He inches closer to Mr Bancroft with a smile. "How can I help you sir?"
