Kidnapped 2

Part 11

Katy rolled over in bed. She hit the side of the bed where Justin always sleeps, but the sheets were still cold. Justin hadn’t been there to keep them warm. She looked at her watch. It was 2 a.m. yet she was wide-awake for some reason. She got up and got a glass of water. She looked out her widow down at the beach. The fire from dinner was still somewhat burning. She was watching what was left of the fire die down when she noted in the dim light a man laying next to the fire. She looked again and it was Justin.
Katy thought this was odd, but she knew how cold it got at night so she put her robe on and grabbed a blanket then headed down the beach. She took a lantern with her to light her way. When she reached him Justin was lying with his head on a log and the rest of his body sprawled out on the soft sand. Justin shivered slightly but didn’t wake up. Katy placed the blanket over him to keep him warm. After all she still loved him, but she never knew him to be so stubborn. The only thing he had to do was to say he was sorry then she would take him back.


Katy smiled then headed back to her hut and lay back down and went to sleep. The village remained quite until the islanders got up to do the things that needed to be done. Meko was very surprised to find Justin asleep by the fire. He sat there for a few minutes. Justin’s eyes slowly opened. “Good morning, you know I did say you could sleep at my place.” Meko said. “I know I must have fell asleep out here last night. But where did I get the blanket?“ Justin asked. “It looks like Katy’s blanket.” Meko said. Justin looked down at the light blue woven blanket. “I think your right. But I didn’t see her last night.” Justin said. “Maybe she thought you were cold. She can see the fire from her widow.” Meko said pointing to Katy’s hut, which had a widow facing them.


“You should talk to her today.” Meko said. “I will try.” Justin said. “Here, eat.” Meko said handing him a banana. Justin took it and peeled it then took a bite. Justin finished eating and then offered to help Meko do what needed to be done.


Mean while, Brandi had gotten up. She was sitting their drinking tea waiting for Nicoma to get up. She waited a few minutes. She could hear some one moving around in the bedroom. Brandi was shocked when Joey came walking out of Nicoma’s bedroom. “What are you doing here?” Brandi asked. Joey scratched his head a stared at her for a moment. “I didn’t feel like walking to my bed.” Joey said. “Joey, your hut is like two steps away.” Brandi said. Joey just smiled at her. It wasn’t long till Nicoma came out and wrapped her arms around Joey. Joey smiled then kissed her. “Okay, I don’t even want to know what you two did last night.” Brandi said looking away from them.


“We didn’t do anything we just cuddled.” Nicoma said fixing herself a cup of tea. “Nicoma you forget, That I know Joey better than that.” Brandi said. Nicoma just laughed and sat down next to her. Joey grabbed some fruit then he too sat down. “What are we going to do about Justin and Katy?” Joey asked. “What do you mean?” Nicoma asked. “We will be leaving soon; if they don’t make up they may never get back together.” Joey said eating. “But what can we do Justin won’t go talk to her.” Brandi said. “If he would Katy would forgive him and then they could get back together.” Nicoma explained.


“We’ll have to trick him into talking to her.” Joey said. “Yeah, how?” Brandi asked. “I’ll get back to you on that.” Joey said. “Okay, Let’s go see who else is up then.” Brandi said getting up. “You go ahead, you’ll be out soon.” Nicoma said sipping her tea. Brandi smiled then left.


Once out side she could see Justin and Meko in the distance. Justin was helping Meko and some other guys, make a new building. Brandi made her way to Mandy and them’s hut. She ran into Chris half way there. “Hi.” Brandi said with a smiled. Chris retuned the smile. “Where are you going?” Chris asked. “To see who’s all up.” Brandi said. “Great I’ll go with you then.” Chris said following her to the hut. Brandi knocked on the hut. “Come in.” Kim said. So they both walked in. Once inside they saw that they were all up. Mandy was sitting next to Lance resting her head on his shoulder. Mandy was studying the ring on her finger.


“Have a seat.” JC said. Brandi and Chris looked at each other then sat down. “Mandy can I see your ring?’ Brandi asked. “Yeah,” Mandy said jumping up and running over to where she was. Mandy held her hand out and Brandi looked at it. It had to have cost Lance a pretty penny. “That’s really something.” Brandi said. “I love it though.” Mandy said pulling her hand away.

**Back in town**
A blond man stepped off the plane. He looked around then headed for the post office. He went in and talked to the clerk. “Can you tell me where I can find the owner of this P.O Box?” Akiko asked showing him a letter. “No, I’m afraid that’s private.” The clerk said. Akiko started to get mad. But instead he walked out. He went into the cafe a cross the way and sat there and watched the post office. It wasn’t long till a brown haired young man came and checked the P.O. Box. Akiko got up and meet him outside. “Excuse me, but can you help me?” Akiko asked. “I can try.” Rodney said.


“I’m looking for my girlfriend; I found this letter at her house.” Akiko said handing Rodney the letter. “I know the woman that owns the box. What is your girlfriend’s name?” Rodney asked. “Brandi.” Akiko said. “Yes, I’ve seen her but she went to visit a friend. She should be back soon.” Rodney said. “I want to see her now.” Akiko said. “I’m afraid you will have to wait, her friend lives on an island not too far from here and doesn’t want people to know about it.” Rodney explained. “I don’t care you are going to take me to her.” Akiko yelled grabbing Rodney’s shirt and pulling him closer. “What if I don’t?” Rodney asked. “I’ll beat you up and find her myself.” Akiko snapped flexing his musisles.


Rodney was scared now. “I’ll take just please just don’t hurt her or me.” Rodney said. “Good, we leave now.” Akiko said letting go of him. Rodney led Akiko to his jeep and Akiko got in. Rodney wanted more than anything to lose this wacko and worn Brandi. But he didn’t think that would be possible. Once they got to Rodney’s house Akiko quickly forced Rodney onto his boat and started the engine. “Let’s go.” Akiko yelled. Rodney flung it into gear and took off.

**Back on the island**
Katy had woken up and was out and about. She went to check on Meko and how the new building was coming, she was shocked to find Justin helping them. “How’s it going?” Katy asked with a smile. “Great we should have it done in a few more days.” Meko said then nudged Justin to try to get him to talk to her. Justin looked at him then at Katy but said nothing. “I’m going to go see how the other’s are doing, good luck guys.” Katy said leaving. “You missed your chance yet again.” Meko said once he was sure that Katy was gone. “I’m sorry I just couldn’t” Justin said.


Meanwhile the rest of them had gathered in the guest hut and were talking about ways to get Katy and Justin back on track. “I think we should just let them handle it.” Mandy said. “No, I know Justin he’ll never tell her on his own.” Lance said. “Then what can we do?’ Nicoma asked. “We could lock them in her hut together for a few hours.” Joey said. “That sounds like a good plan.” Katy said entering their conversation. “Katy, we’re sorry we didn’t see you there.” Kim said. “It’s okay, your only trying to help, I understand.” Katy said. “Then let’s do it, lock them in together.” Joey said. “It wouldn’t help; he still wouldn’t talk to me.” Katy said. “She’s right he’d just sit there and stare off into space.” Nicoma said.


“Well us guys out number him 4 to 1, I say we force him to.” Chris said. “That is starting out sound like a good idea.” JC said. “Then let’s just go do this, so we can get it over.” Mandy said. They all agreed then the guys made their way to the building site to get Justin, while the girls, headed into the woods a little ways to a clearing where they could talk.


“What do you guys want?’ Meko asked seeing the guys approaching. “You’ve come to kidnap Justin.” Lance said. “What on earth for?” Meko asked. “There something he needs to tell a certain some one.” JC said. Meko got the hint and pointed them in the direction of Justin. They approached Justin a little slower. “Hi, guys.” Justin said with a smile. Joey and JC went around and each grabbed an arm. “What’s going on?” Justin asked confused. “Your going to go talk to Katy and tell her how you feel and that you messed up.” Lance said. “But, what if I only make it worse.” Justin asked as they started to drag him away. Justin put his feet down and tried to stop them but it didn’t seem to help.


“Please, guys. I’m not ready.” Justin wined as they drug him tough the village. “You are too, you big baby.” Joey said. Katy could hear them coming from a mile away. Justin was still wining and dragging his feet. “I’m not ready.” Just wined then JC and Joey let go of him and Lance pushed him. Justin was now face to face with Katy. “Um, Hi Katy.” Justin said the turned to try to make a break for it but Lance and Chris caught him and pushed him back. Justin found it hard to make the words.


“Justin if you don’t love me any more just tell me and I’ll go find some one who does.” Katy said know full well that Justin stilled loved her. Justin looked at her shocked. Katy put her arms a cross her chest and waited for him to speak. His words came out jumpy at first. “But I do still love you.” Justin stuttered. Katy remained silent. Justin looked at his friends for help but they offered him no support. Justin looked back at her. “I’m sorry, I messed up.” Justin said then looked at his feet, he didn’t want to see her reaction. Katy took Justin hands and tilted his head to face her. “That’s all I wanted to hear.” Katy said then kissed him. At first Justin remained shocked as she pressed her lips to his. Then he started to kiss her back.


The two of them stud there kissing. While the others watched. “See now was that so hard knuckle head?” Joey asked. But Justin didn’t answer. Then the others left leaving them there still kissing. “They make a cute couple, too.” Nicoma said once they were back in the village. “Yeah, they do.” Brandi said. “Is that a boat?” Chris asked looking out over the water. “I think so.” JC said. “Maybe it’s Rodney.” Brandi said. “We’ll just have to wait and see. But just in case some one should go get Katy.” Nicoma said. “I’ll go get her.” Mandy said then took off back the way they had come.


A few minutes later Mandy came back with Katy and Justin at her side. Katy looked at the boat. “It looks like his boat, but we talked to him when we were on land and he said it would be a few days before he would make a trip out here.” Katy said heading for the dock. The other’s waited up on the beach for her. The boat came to a stop. A blond man jumped off. He stopped at looked at Katy, Katy went to speak but before the words could leave her mouth, Akiko push her and walked past her. Katy almost fell off the dock but Rodney caught. “Hey, buddy this is my island, now who are you?” Katy said grabbing his shirt. Akiko turned around and faced her, his eyes full of rage. Katy could feel Rodney on her back holding to her for dear life.


Akiko went to turn again but this time Katy grabbed his arm. “I asked you a question.” Katy yelled. Brandi stud they’re watching, she knew who he was. “I’m Brandi’s boyfriend.” Akiko snapped. “Don’t you even get an attitude with me.” Katy said looking him in the eye. She wasn’t about to let this buffoon tell her what to do on her island. Akiko was a little shocked he had been able to turn Rodney into putty, Rodney being a fairly big guy. He didn’t seem to faze this girl that now stud before him. “I don’t care who you are or how strong you are as long as your on my island you will treat me with respect.” Katy said poking him in the stomach. “Yes, ma as you wish, I just came for what’s mine.” Akiko said. Katy didn’t approve of him referring to Brandi as property, but that wasn’t her fight. Katy let him pass.


Akiko walked quickly over to Brandi and wrapped his arms around her. Brandi just stud there shocked. Akiko let go of her and then stepped back. “Akiko, what are you doing here?” Brandi asked. “I came looking for you.” Akiko said. “I see that but couldn’t you have waited till I got home?” Brandi asked. “No, I wanted to make sure you were okay.” Akiko asked. “I’m a big girl I can take care of my self, thank you.” Brandi snapped. “I was just worried. That’s all.” Akiko said. “Just worried that I’d find other boyfriend?” Brandi asked. “No.” Akiko lied. Then Akiko looked down at Brandi’s hand. He saw the ring. “Where did you get that?” Akiko asked pointing to the ring. “A friend gave it to me.” Brandi said. “Who?” Akiko asked. “Chris.” Brandi said knowing it would up set him.


“You got a ring from a guy?” Akiko yelled. “He’s just a friend.” Brandi said. “Where is he?” Akiko asked. Chris studied Akiko for a moment. He didn’t seem to respect Brandi at all, how could she have ever loved him. “Why do you want to know so you can beat him up?” Brandi asked. “I just don’t want him getting any ideas; you’re my girl friends.” Akiko said. “I wanted to talk to you about that, I’ve had sometime to think.” Brandi said. Akiko glared at her. “You can’t break up with me.” He said. “Watch me.” Brandi said. Akiko grabbed her arm but she pushed him away. “It’s over, go home, Akiko.” Brandi yelled. “No it’s not.” Akiko said getting a better grip on her arm.


Chris was watching and through Akiko was bigger than him; he couldn’t take it any more. “Let go of her.” Chris yelled ripping Akiko’s hand off her arm. “Who are you?” Akiko asked getting in Chris’s face. Chris remembered how Katy had stud up to him down on the dock and he seemed to not take it well when he couldn’t control some one. “I’m Chris.” Chris said. “So you’re the punk that gave my girl a ring.” Akiko said giving Chris a push. Chris tried his best to stand his ground. “It was just a gift that’s all. We’re friends and I don’t think she likes you very much any more.” Chris said. “How would you know what she wants?” Akiko asked.


“Maybe because I listen to her.” Chris said. Akiko placed his hand around Chris neck and started to squeeze. Chris made funny noise as her tried to talk. “Let go of him.” Joey snapped. “Are you going to make me?” Akiko asked. “I will if I have to.” Joey said. “Yeah we all will, we’re Brandi’s friends too.” Justin said. “I can take you all.” Akiko said squeezing Chris’s neck harder. Chris tried to yell. “Let go of him now.” Katy yelled. Akiko turned and looked her over. He loosened his grip of Chris but he didn’t let go of him. “You’ve got a lot of spunk for some one your size.” Akiko said. “I know.” Katy said. “Do you need a boyfriend?” Akiko asked checking her out from head to toe. “She already has one thank you.” Justin snapped putting his hand on Akiko’s arm.


Akiko laughed. “Oh, please why would she want a boy when she could have a man?” Akiko asked. “Let go of my friend and quit checking out my woman. Before I have to hurt you.” Justin said. Akiko laughed again and then let Chris fall to the ground. “You want a piece of me?” Akiko asked getting up in Justin’s face. “No, but I do.” Brandi said and just as he turned to look at her she punched him. Akiko went flying back. “Why you little...” Akiko yelled then came flying at Brandi. Chris quickly jumped to his feet and then punched Akiko again. This time Akiko fell face down on the sand.


“Leave her alone, if you so much come with in 2 miles of her I’ll kill you.” Chris yelled. “Yeah, and get up your getting blood all over my beach.” Katy yelled kicking him. Akiko rolled over onto his side. “That’s it Brandi it’s over and don’t think you can ever come back to me.” Akiko said getting up. “I’m heart broken.” Brandi said. “Rodney, please take this thing back to where you found it.” Katy said turning to her friends. “With pleasure.” Rodney said then led Akiko back to his ship.


“Thank god, that’s over.” Nicoma said. “Are you okay?’ Chris asked putting his arms around Brandi. “No, my hand hurts.” Brandi said shaking it. Chris took it in his hand. “I’ll kiss it and make it better.” He said then kissed her hand softly. Brandi giggled. “You’re such a sweet heart.” Brandi said then kissed him on the lips.
