Abducted from wal mart Part 2.txt I thought "well great at least I can have a pen and I can figure out some way to mark off the days on the calender so I know how long I have been here. Surely I won't be here long. I know someone has to be looking for me by now. I mean I know that by this time everyday Renee has called me or came to my house as she had done for as many years as she had lived in town. She was about the only one of my nieces that did keep in such good contact with me. She was always taking me places and doing things for me, up until I bought the car I have now. Well hell it is parked out at wal mart. But I am sure she will take it to her house once the police had gotten done looking in it for any clue into my disappearance. I just hope that wal mart had their security cameras pointing that direction that night." I made a grocery list and the authors of books I liked to read. The old man who I learned (if he was telling me the trueth) was Ellis Turner, had gone to get me some books and some other things I might want. As I really didn't need anything. He made sure I was locked in good and tight before he left. He said that he would flip the switch to let me watch tv while he was gone as he didn't really see what harm that could do me since I had no way to get out and do anything anyway. So off he went saying he would be back in about an hour or so. I turned the tv on just in time to see the last of Judge Jim Black, I loved his shows. He didn't take no crap of anyone, same as Judge Julie didn't. Man she was a bitch to almost everyone that came into her court. Then they had a breaking news announcement. And I be damned it was about me. I thought "OMG where the hell did they get that picture of me from, it was at least 6 years old, but then hell I never let anyone take my picture so I guess that might be why." They was telling that my car was found at the wal mart parking lot in Waco, Texas. After it was reported by my niece Renee. "Dana Wheeler has not been home all morning and after Renee had gone in search of her aunt, it was then that she had gone to wal mart and happened to come across Dana's car. She then went inside and had Dana paged after repeated calls to her cell phone getting no answer. She waited inside the store 30 minutes, which Dana never showed up to answer the page. So the neice having a feeling that something bad had happened to her aunt. Begged the manager to lock all the doors so nobody could come in or out and announced over the loud speaker that they were looking for a woman, then he read off my description he had asked Renee to write down. After an hour the whole store had been searched, under clothes racks, in every bathroom, storage room, fittingroom, Dana is still missing. So wal mart agreed to call the police for Mrs. Graham, Dana's neice." was what the lady news announcer told the tv viewers. They then showed a picture of my car sitting in the parking lot with several police cars and many policemen and women searching my car. There was also my neice and her 3 children standing there crying. I heard my little great nephew Ryan tell his momma, that he "wanted his aunt Dana to come back so she could go out to his house to watch a movie like she always does." Of course the news lady made sure that they got that all on video, and also a picture of his sweet little face with tears streaming down. His 2 sisters was trying not to show that they was also crying as they were 12 & 10 and thought they was too big to be seen crying by anyone other than their parents and siblings. My neice was shaking and wringing her hands, screaming "Someone needs to be calling this in so other cops will be out looking for my aunt damn it, I know thatsomething is really wrong here. She just didn't walk away from her car, her home, and family." The news lady asked Renee, "Are you sure her car didn't just break down and someone might have taken her somewhere to get help ?" "Lady there is no way, if her car broke down she would have called me at home or on my cell phone or she would have called my husbands cell phone. There is no way that she is ok, I can just feel it. She has a cell phone and trust me when I say, I know her better than anyone and no matter what time it was, she would have called us if something was wrong and she needed us." Renee yelled at the news lady "I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to yell, I'm just real scared and not knowing what happened to her makes me real upset." Renee apologized. The news lady put her hand over on Renee's shoulder and said, "Hun I don't blame you at all and you have nothing to be sorry for. I really hope and pray that everything turns out to be ok for your aunt." About that time the camera crew was making a sweep of the parking lot, just to waste time I assumed. And that is when I saw Ellis walking out of wal mart pushing the basket. He looked over at all the commotion and walked right over to where the camera crew was at. Stopped beside a dark teal green 2004 Chevy Extended Cab pickup, unlocked the doors and unloaded the cart. He then pushed the basket over to the basket collection place, and strolled on over to the news people. "What happened here, or can ya not talk about it." he said to just anyone who would listen. One of the cops walked over and moved the line of people back some and was placing the crime scene tape all around my car. He had to in fact place his hand on Ellis and ask him to take a few more steps back. I then seen Ellis walk over and get into the pick up. And drive off. Not waiting to see if anyone was going to answer his question or not. So I knew he was on his way home and from the short time it took us last night, I knew he would be here soon. I turned the channel on the tv, turned the tv off and grabbed the notepad. I started just making weird designs, writing names. Trying to make it look like I had been sitting there awhile doing that. I then got up on the bed and layed down like I was going to take a nap or just rest. I layed the notepad down beside me, as if I had just been messing with it and got tired. I hadn't been laying there more than 20 minutes when Ellis stormed into my room. Even though I knew he would be there soon, he still startled me when he shoved the door open so fast. I rolled over and sat up like I was going to run. I said "Damn Ellis don't you know you can give someone a heart attack by rushing into a room like that ? What the hell is wrong, you act like the devil himself is hot on your heals." He was outta breath, poor old bastard. He said, "Have you been watching tv since I been gone?" I said no, there was nothing on but reruns so I just wrote some on the paper, then decided I would lay down. Since there is nothing else to do in this cramped up little closet looking room you insist on keeping me in." He sighed, "Well the sooner you learn to behave, and come to my way of thinking then the sooner you can get out of here, but I don't see it happening too soon. I mean hell I ain't such an old fool that I don't know you ain't trying to fool me none. I know it will take longer than 1 day to make you see things my way." He seemed to be so sure of himself. Who the hell did he think he was anyway, hell I had just lied to his face and he fell for it hook line and sinker. I bet in less than a week I can be out of this room, and another week he will trust me enough to be outside walking around. I had never had to act before but I didn't think it could be that hard. I mean hell look at some of those actors and actress on soaps. Some of them acted as dumb as a sack of rocks sometimes. He said " I think I need some more of that pussy. Damn I had more energy today than I have had in a long time. So get them clothes off and hurry about it woman." He took his clothes off and layed on the bed waiting on me. I was trying to be slow and maybe he would give up. But hell no. He just yelled at me to hurry. I got naked and layed down beside him. Trying not to touch him. But he grabbed me and pulled me over on top of him. He started kissing my breast and pulling my nipples into his mouth. Rolling them around in his mouth. He reached down and grabbed my hand and placed it on his cock, making me rub it up and down. He was starting to get real hard by now and was biting on my nipples. I wanted to fight him off and tell him he made me sick, but he kept his hand on top of mine, jacking him off. Slow and easy, then took my finger and rubbed the tip of his cock. I could feel the pre-cum starting to leak out. He let go of my hand and then stopped biting my nipples and worked his way down to my stomach. I could feel his breath as he kissed his way down my stomach and then between my thighs. Finally feeling his tongue as he flicked it across my pussy lips. Opening them up and shoved his tongue deep into my wet pussy. Licking all the way up till he reached my clit, taking it into his mouth and rubbing it with his lips. Driving me mad, making me hotter and wetter. I wanted to fight him, I didn't want to make love with him. If he had not made me do it them maybe I would have been more willing. But then my pussy didn't know that it was being forvced, so it was wanting as much attention as it could get right now. He shoved his tongue deeper and deeper, until I cold feel the bridge of his nose slamming into my clit. I was moaning and slamming my pelvic up into his face. All the time he had been eating my pussy he had been stroking his rock hard cock. Then when he seen I was about to cum, he jumped up and rammed his cock as hard and as deep as he could inside my pussy. Rolling me over on top of him telling me to "Ride me to glory bitch, cause we are going to cum together." I rode him faster and harder, slamming down on his cock so hard that I could feel his balls slapping me on the ass. He had his hands around my waist bringing me back down on top of him as hard as he could. I was so fucking hot by now. I knew I was going to cum just any minute. I felt him when he exploded deep up inside me. I could feel it running out of my pussy forming a pool of hot sticky cum around his balls and his cock. I felt it squishing up into my ass cheeks. It was so hot and sticky. I think that made me cum harder than ever. I rode him until I felt myself starting to get tired. All my cum was running out of my pussy into his lap, mixing with his. I rolled off the top of him, laying there beside him. Both of us so tried we didn't even move for at least 15 minutes. Then he got up and grabbed his clothes, closing the door behind him. I got up and took a shower to clean myself up. Well I had been marking off the days on the calender. He would come into my room about noon or sometimes later and bring me something to eat, he had finally gotten me a small refrigerator to keep sodas, and bottled water in since he had to be gone several times a day for a few hours each time. I never asked him where he went, I figured that if he wanted me to know then he would tell me. He came in at least 3-4 times a week and talked to me awhile. Usually he would end up demanded that I have sexual intercourse with him. It wasn't as bad as the first few times but it still was not like it could have been if he had treated me other than a damn prisoner. He still went shopping and brought me back anything I wrote on the list. I had read almost a book a day since I had been locked up in here, so he had had to take some of them into another part of the house to store them as the small bookshelf he had bought me would only hold 40-50 books. I got up and counted to see how many days I had been here so far, still locked in this cramped space, all I had to do all day was read, watch tv, when Ellis would let me, talk to him which I did more and more often these days. I had been here 7 months, 24 days so far. Today was March 29, 2006 Finally on April Fools day he let me leave my little room. He led me into the house and walked me from room to room. Telling me who was in each picture that he had displayed all over the walls in the house. There was a picture of a small little girl and he said that she was his daughter that had been ran over and killed on her bicycle right out in front of this house. Then he showed me pictures of his wife, and some of his son. He said his son was a lawyer in Oklahoma City, and that he really thinks he is gay since he was 30 years old and had never been married, never had a girlfriend as far as he knew. And that they had a fight about 6 years ago and the son has never called or came back to see him since his mothers funeral. He then let me look out the window for a few minutes. This was the first time I had seen sunshine in almost 8 full months. I looked all over the yard and was suprised to see that there was water not far from the house, even a boat was docked under a shed. There sat a huge motor home, the dark blue van, and the teal green pickup I had seen Ellis in on that one day I got to see the news about me. I had never seen anymore news about me. But then Ellis wouldn't let me watch tv for almost a month after he came storming into the room that night. But he had brought his little walkman in and gave me some cd's to listen to. So it wasn't all that bad I guess. He then led me down the hall to his bedroom. Told me kneel on the floor as he sat on the side of the bed. He said, take my cock out of my pants and suck it. So I took his cock out and started licking it and kissing the head of it. He became hard real fast. So I knew this was not going to take long. I sucked his cock and took my hand and played with his balls. Knowing that he was about to explode. Just as he started to cum, I yanked his cock out of my mouth and turned it as much as I could straight up. Making him shoot cum all over himself and me. He just kept shooting his hot sticky cum all over us. When he was done he took me back to the room and told me to get cleaned up and he'd see me later. I had been doing some excersises in the room with what little space I had, and with me not eating much, I had actually lost about 75 pounds in that time. Ellis was not happy about that as he said he wanted to make love to a fat woman, so he tried to buy candy, pies and stuff to try to fatten me back up like I was when I came. But I was not about to do that, I felt better and I didn't want to eat that stuff. Sometimes he sat there and made me eat some pie or cake. But as soon as he walked out and locked the door, I was in the bathroom making myself throw up. He never knew the difference I guess. Cause he didn't make me eat alot of junk like that. Just about 4 or 5 times a week. On the Saturday when Ellis first said he was going to let me out to stay all day, I thought "oh yeah right, this is april fools and he is just saying that to me to be mean." He said, "No for real. I believe it is time that you can come into the main house with me, and enjoy the space. You can watch tv, listen to the stereo, get on the computer and play the games that are on there. But don't think you can get on the internet and send e-mail, cause I have it set where the username and password won't show. You have to type that in there, and I am not about to let you send e-mail to anyone." I said, "Ellis that is fine, in fact I don't care about even playing any of the games on there. But can I please set over in that chair so I can look outside. I really missed being able to see outdoors. Even though I was not much of an outdoors person I still opened the curtains alot so that I could see what the rest of the world was doing." He studied it a few minutes and said, "Well I supose that will be ok. Just don't get any funny ideas about trying to break the glass, open the window or anything like that. I am trying to let you prove to me that I can trust you. But there are still going to be limitations as to what you can do. You will still have to stay in your room while I go into the office for a few hours each morning. So that won't change. But when I am at home then I will let you out and you can sit in here with me. We can cook meals together, watch tv together. Just like normal men and women do. So we are progressing with our relationship aren't we Dana ?" "Oh sure we are Ellis. I didn't think you was ever going to learn to trust me. I have been really trying my best for at least the past 4 or 5 months. But you never wanted to trust me. But I know that in a relationship there has to be trust and honesty. So maybe now you are having that in me." I smiled at him sweetly. Thinking to myself. "Please just keep telling him anything you can think of to tell him so that you can someday get the hell away from him or your going to die right here locked in this house Dana. And your family will never know what happened to you." That evening Ellis cooked dinner, then took me into his room and made love to me on his own bed. I faked it as much as I could and hoped that he really had no idea how bad I wanted to pick up something and smash it into his skull. He made me suck his cock again until he had an orgasm then he layed there still for just a few minutes, then told me to get on top of him and ride him. I wasn't very wet so it hurt for a few minutes. He started to cum again shortly after I started to ride his cock. He shoved me aside and rolled off the bed. Telling me to get dressed. Then he told me that I had to go back to my room to sleep cause he didn't want me to try to get away during the night. I said that was fine I understood he didn't trust me yet. So I kissed him on the cheek when I got to my room and he locked the door and left me alone. I went in and took a shower trying to wash him off of me, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair. And went to bed. Slept real good that night knowing that finally he was going to let me come out of my room, and knowing that soon, I'd finally get a chance to escape this place. I woke the next morning to Ellis opening my door. He said, "Well do you want to come into the house with me or you going to lay in here all day long." I jumped outta bed and said,"Hell no, I am going to be in the house with you. What are we going to do today, can we go outside ? Or at least open some windows so I can feel a breeze blow in please ?" Ellis thought about it a few seconds, "Well I'm not sure I'm ready to trust you that much on going outside. But I will think about opening some windows. I will have to make sure none of the neigbors are at home first in case you decide that you want to yell. We can't have that now can we Dana ?" "Ellis if you don't trust me enough that is fine, I know that someday you will. As long as you let me get out of this room, the rest can wait till you feel it is ok. Thank you so much Ellis." I spoke so sweetly. Ellis didn't let me go out that day or the next few days. But finally on the next Saturday, I had been staying in the house all except when I was asleeping. Ellis was finally willing to let me roam outside as far as the boat dock. But he told me that he was going to take his gun and if I made even one move like I was going to run, or even acted like I was going to yell. That he would shoot me and shove my body in the lake. He said that by the time I floated back to the top that I would be in the middle of the lake and nobody would have any idea where I had been staying all this time. I actually believed him when he said all this to me too. That didn't mean I wasn't going to stop thinking about getting away. It just meant that I was going to be extra careful about what I did when we was outside. I even asked him to come lay down on the bed with me and touch me so he would think I was finally wanting him to make love to me without being forced to do it. He layed down and started stroking my breast. I layed there with my eyes closed letting him think it was turning me on, when really I wanted to shove the pig off me. He reached inside my pants and started to finger my pussy. Making me wet and hot. I might not want him to make love to me, but my pussy sure did love the feel of another human beings finger shoved inside it. He kept shoving his finger inside my pussy until I started to cum, he was shoving faster and deeper. Loving the feel of my pussy juices as they made his finger slide in and out. After I finished cumming, he took his hand out of my pants and licked his hand clean. Then got up and walked into the bathroom and washed his hands. We ate a late dinner, and wated a movie. Then he locked me in my room and went to bed. Didn't even as me to have sex with him. Thank goodness. Time seemed to drag by so bad I thought I was going to go crazy long before I was free from this man. Today was April 8th, I was back in my room. And I was trying in my head to remember everthing that I seen outside. All the houses close by, how far I would have to run if I did get a chance to get out the door while Ellis was not looking. I was thankful to see that there was not a gate to have to go through to leave the yard, just a small incline up the driveway, then there was the street. There was several homes right close, so I was thankful for that. Just had to pray that someone was at home when I had the chance to escape. I was so scared, I was praying that he didn't catch me running and shoot me. Ellis came in later that night and wanted to have sex. I refused to call it making love. Since when I made love with someone I wanted to be a part of it, enjoy it. Not have it forced on me by someone that had me held captive. I faked it again, and he seemed satisfied and happy. And went in to the house and as usual locked me inside my room. I got up and took a shower, cleaning myself off the best I could. Then went in and went to bed. I dreamed that night of getting away, I was back home with my family. My sister, brother, dad, neice and her family was all there. And then my cousin Lee came up to see me with his mom & dad. I had missed him so much. I was used to talking to him online almost every single day. It was like this dream was telling me that all of them was still alive and well. And they all seemed so happy so I knew that I was ok, I didn't feel like they had came to my funeral. So maybe this was an omen, that I was going to escape and be back home safe real soon. The next few days, Ellis would come and take me out of my room about noon. We usually ate lunch since it was past the breakfast time. Oh sometimes he cooked breakfast for lunch. Then sometimes we would go outside for a stroll around the yard, he always held on to my arm or hand. And he held on pretty darn tight. Like he thought if I broke to run he could hold me back. I wasn't really crazy enough to try to outrun a bullet so I never ever thought about running when we was out there like this. That night we had a nice dinner, and sat on the couch watching a movie that he had rented that morning while he was gone to where ever the hell he always went. It was a comedy so it wasn't that bad. I was sure glad it wasn't a romance cause I sure didn't want Ellis to be back in the mood for sex so soon. After the movie, Ellis asked me if I needed anything before going to bed. I sighed real deep, and said "I guess not. Take me on in there and lock me away. Toss the damn key in the lake for all I care. I am sick and tired of being caged up like a wild animal. If you haven't learned to trust me by now your not ever going to." By this time I was really crying hard. Ellis put his arms around me and said, "Ok Nora, I'm sorry. Maybe it is time to let you stay in here with me. I have kept you locked away in that room for over 8 months now. Maybe it isn't healthy to do that to you. Please stop crying now, and I'll go get your nightgown so we can go to bed." I stayed sitting right there on the couch while he was gone. I felt like this was a test to see how far he could trust me. We had been sitting there with the windows open and the door open with just the screen door keeping me inside. About 90 seconds later Ellis came back into the room. Walking pretty fast. Looked over at the door, then back to where I was sitting when he left the room. And I was still sitting there. He seemed to take a breath of relief. Smiled and handed me the nightgown. I kissed him on the cheek and said, "Thank you Ellis. I really appreciate this, and your not going to be sorry either. I have really grown to like it here. I would like to go out on the lake in the boat someday. I was always scared to leave shore. I don't know how to swim that well so I would never get in a boat." Ellis puffed his chest out and said, "Well then Nora we shall see that you get that boat ride real soon then. I am so glad that things are working out here for us. Maybe soon, I'll even let you contact your family and let them know that your ok. I don't think for awhile they should know where your at. But you can let them know your alive and well." I had tears in my eyes as I remembered my dream from last night. I thought "please lord don't make this the only way I can see my family. I know that you can help me if you just please will. I need to get away from this man soon. Before I go completely crazy." We walked down the hall to Ellis room, and I pulled the blanket back on the bed. Ellis waited on me to get into bed then he turned the light off. He layed down and started talking to me about how much I had changed his life. That he was so sorry for how it had happened that we met. But that there was no way we could change the past. So we would just have to move forward day by day. Then he kinda sighed a little and said "Goodnight Nora my love, sleep well. I'm just too tired to make love tonight. Hope you understand. I'll get up in the morning and cook us breakfast. I have to be at my office at 8 am but I should be back here no later than 10:30. I know you will still be asleep. So sleep in and don't go getting something to eat because I have a special breakfast planned my dear." I said, "Oh Ellis you don't have to fix me anything special, a bowl of cereal will be just as good as anything." I was so glad he didn't want to make love, or force me to suck his cock which was what he liked best. I never asked what office he was talking about. He had never told me he even had a job so I had no clue. And was not going to keep him awake another minute. I wanted him and myself to get a good nights sleep. I already had ideas running through my head. I heard Ellis snoring so I knew he was already sound asleep. I layed there for what seemed like hours before I finally drifted off into a sound sleep. I awoke at 9:35 am on April 12, 2006. I set up on the side of the bed wondering where was I. The room was full of sunshine, and I could hear birds chirping. And cars on the street just outside. I slowly walked into the living room to see if Ellis was there. But he was gone. The windows were open, as well as the front door. I looked out the screen and seen 4 men working on a car next door in the garage. The car was half way in the garage but I could see the men through the window of the garage. I thought "Dear lord is this my chance. Should I run over there and get those men to help me. Or is Ellis standing at the end of the house close to the street just waiting on me to do something like this." This is just too good to be true. I ran back into my room. And put on the clothes that I had worn the night I was abducted. I had no idea where my purse was and at this time I really didn't care. My mind was just on getting out of here. I stopped in the kitchen and looked out the window, that faces the street. I didn't see anyone out there, but if someone was standing up against the house I couldn't have seen them anyway. Well I just had to take this chance. If I got shot then at least I knew before I died that I had died trying to escape. I opened the door just a little and peered out. Looking to the road and looking back toward the lake. I didn't see anything. And the teal green pickup was gone. So maybe Ellis had learned to trust me and gone off and left me. I said, "Please lord forgive me for telling the lie to Ellis but I had to do it to survive, and to try to get back to my loved ones. Lord please help me get home safe. Amen." At that. I slammed the door back and headed out as fast as I could run. I got to the garage next door and ran in and hid behind a freezer. All 4 men looked at me like "where the hell did you come from." I said, "please please I beg of you call 911. I have been kept prisoner in that house next door for over 8 months. Please call the cops for me." None of them made a move. I was crying and shaking. I said "Damn it to hell what are you standing there staring at. Call the fucking police right now." One guy rushed inside, and when he did I ran in after him. Looking for someplace to hide. He had reached for the phone and was calling 911. He looked around and seen me and he froze. I said, "please can I hide somewhere, if Ellis comes home and I am gone he is going to get the gun and come looking for me. He told me if I did anything crazy that he will kill me. Please you are my only means of escape. Call the police for me, my name is Dana Wheeler, I was abducted from wal mart in August of last year. I swear to you all I am telling you is the trueth." I had no idea that he had already dialed 911 before he seen me, the 911 operator was listening to me scream in the background and she already had 4 units in route to the place where the call was coming from. Thank god it was a home phone instead of a cell phone or it couldn't have been traced. I know it couldn't have been 2 minutes when I heard my name being yelled. I knew it was Ellis and I was so scared I couldn't move. The man was still holding the phone, as he was by this time talking on the phone. He told the 911 operator that the man was home now and was searching for me. He then yelled out into the garage, "Hey Joel & Roy, come on in here and grab us some more beers." They came rushing into the house. My first thought was "Why the hell was they going to drink beer at a time like now." He told one of them to go back out there and ask the neighbor if there was anything wrong. And to try to keep him talking as the cops was on their way. He told the other one to take me into the master bedroom and put me in the closet with stuff piled around me in case the nut case next door came over here waving a gun before the cops could get there. So we rushed back to a bedroom and he placed me in a closet. Told me to be as quiet as I could and that I would be safe real soon. I think I thanked him I can't really be sure. I was so scared my heart was pounding so loud I just knew that they could hear it all the way back out in the garage. I thought I heard a gun shot, but I wasn't sure. Maybe it was my imagination. I stayed in the closet for what seemed an awful long time. It was so hot in there, there was some air coming from somewhere but it sure wasn't very much. But hell if I could get away from this mess alive. I'd be more than happy to be a little hot right now. I heard voices. I listened to see if one of them was Ellis, I thought maybe he had the gun held on the men and was making them show him where I was. But it didn't really sound like Ellis. So I waited. Not making a sound. I even held my breath as long as I could thinking that they might hear me breathing even. Then the door came open. Very slowly. And a police man was standing there. I almost fainted. I just layed there looking at him. Thinking "oh my god this is real, I am finally safe." Then I remembered the sound I had heard. "Did I hear a gun shot. Did Ellis shoot someone that was trying to help me, please tell me he didn't. I can't stand the thought of someone getting hurt trying to help me escape." The officer, his name plate said, E. Collins, spoke "No ma'am. I'm sorry to say that Mr Tuner has shot himself." I said, "Oh no, he was a good man, in spite of everything he did to me. Is he going to be ok ?" Another officer walked in about that time and spoke, "I'm sorry ma'am but he was killed instantly when he shot himself. You have nothing else to worry about. There is an ambulance waiting outside to take you to the hospital. They need to just come in and get you." I said, "I am fine, I just want to go home, please. I need to call my family and let them know that I am alive. I have been gone for over 8 months and I am sure that they believe me to be dead." The officer, E. Collins said, "No ma'am we have to take you to be examined. And I have to tell you that your family are already in route to the hospital. We have sent officers out to bring them to you. And the news media is probably already camped out at the hospital to film this wonderful homecoming. I have to tell you ma'am nobody ever thought you would be found." he then smiled at me. I downed my head and said a silent prayer thanking god for letting this happen. Then I stood up and said, "Ok I'll go to the hospital, but please don't make me ride in the ambulance. I want to look out and see things. For over 7 months he kept me locked in a room with no windows, and only the last week or so have I even been able to look outside here around the house. Oh and my purse is over there somewhere. Other than that I have nothing else over there at all. Can you please ask someone to find it ?" He assured me that someone would get my purse for me, and that I could ride to the hospital with him and officer Watson. I stepped out of the house and there was cops everywhere. An ambulance crew, who made me at least step up into the back long enough for them to take vitals on me to see that I was not in need of medical treatment on the way to the ER. They declared me fine and let me get out. I walked over to the 4 men that had helped me, and stuck out my hand to shake hands. One of them said "well a hand shake will be fine but I really feel the need to hug you if that is ok with you." I smiled and said "yes that was more than fine since they had just saved my life." So I hugged all 4 of them then we had a group hug. We was all crying, and laughing, just thankful that I was alive and that there was people in this world that was willing to help someone when they was in dire need. I walked over to the driveway to the house where I had been held captive for 8 months 7 days. I could see Ellis laying there in the yard, they had covered his body with a sheet but I knew it was him. Officer Collins came over to me and grabbed my arm lightly, "Ma'am I don't really think you need to go any further. If it is ok with you we would like to get on the road to the hospital so you can be checked over real good and be reunited with your family." I looked back at the house one last time, and turned and walked away with officer Collins. He placed me in the back seat and asked me if I would be ok back alone or he would be more than happy to ride back there with me. I opted to let him ride with me as I knew it was going to be an emotional time when I got close to the hospital. I finally seen where I had been all this time. It was on the lake, and it was so beautiful. If it had been under any other circumstance then I would have loved to live here on this part of the lake. We rode in silence back to the hospital, officer Watson had even turned the police radio way down so that the noise wouldn't bother me. As we neared the hospital I started to silently cry. I could feel officer Collins watching me. And I felt safe that he was so close. I knew that I was safe at last. As we got to the hospital I could see the news media had camped out at the ER. So we drove up to the front of the hospital and officer Collins rushed me inside before they could get around the building to us. I was then rushed as fast as we could walk without running back to the Surgery Room. I didn't know why we was going there but I felt safe in knowing that officer Collins knew what he was doing and taking me. When we got close to the surgery room the double doors swung open and there stood my dad, Renee, her husband Ray, and their 3 kids, Nicky, Lizzy, & Ryan. All of them were smiling and crying all at the same time. I rushed up and hugged my dad, then turned to hug Renee & Ray at the same time. Then the kids had a turn. When I got to Ryan, I hugged him and told him I missed all of them and loved them more than they could ever even imagine. I also told them that I had seen them on tv the day after I was taken. We all was crying and hugging. They was trying to ask me questions. But then the doctor came in and said he needed to examine me and that they could see me soon. Renee said "Oh hell no, I am going with her, she has been gone for 8 months when we thought she was dead. So she is not going to be alone without one of us for a long time." I laughed and said, "Doctor if it is ok with you then it is fine with me. I kinda feel the same way, I need to see some of my family standing close by me right now." He said that was more than fine with him he fully understood. He then explained that they was going to examine me in the recovery room area, as the media was all over the ER. And they felt like I needed to have time to be looked at and talked to before those vultures came in. I said that was fine with me. I didn't really want to talk to them right now. I just wanted to know that I was fine, safe, and be with my family. It took him about an hour to fully examine me, and declare that I was fine. And could leave any time I was ready. Other than the police was still waiting their turn to talk to me. I left the examining room and there stood officer Collins smiling at me. I smiled back then walked over and stuck out my hand. He shook my hand but wouldn't let it go. I just smiled at him and said, "Officer Collins you will never know how much it meant to me to look out of that closet and see your beautiful face looking in at me. I truely knew right then that I was going to be safe and come back to my family." He said "Dana, please call me Eric. And you have no idea how my heart feels knowing I saved your life today. I had seen flyers with all your information on it. And I felt a sadness for your family as they looked for you. Even after the news media stopped running all the news on you. Your family would not let it go, they made flyers and pasted them on any post, window, door, or newspaper that they could think of. I know they don't have alot of money, but they even offered a reward for any information as to your whereabouts." I was crying and shaking my head, "Ya know you never realize what you have until it is gone. We have always been a pretty close family, the ones that are in that room over there. I have aunts, cousins, and so forth that I am sure never even realized I was missing. But I never for a second thought that the ones in that room would ever stop looking for me. I knew that someday I would see them again." I reached up and hugged Eric Collins and thanked him again for all he had done. I walked back out into the surgery waiting area and there stood my family. All waiting for me. They was not about to leave that hospital without me. *smiling from ear to ear* I couldn't wait to get to a phone to call my sister and brother. It had been too long since I had seen them, and I was going to damn sure get to Florida to see my sister soon. And also make a trip to see my brother. After this past 8 months, it made me realize that life is just too damn short to not see your family more often. That was 3 weeks ago. Since then I have gone back to my same apartment. I was told that they had moved my stuff out. And even rented it to someone else. But seems like the day that I was rescued, the people got notice that they was being tranfered to another state with the mans job. So I told the landlady that I wanted to move back in. I had to come to terms with what had happened to me. And know that it was a 1 in 1 million chance of it ever happening again. I was sad that Ellis had lost his life. But knowing he was dead also made me feel safe that he couldn't hurt me. Or do this to anyone else anywhere else again. I had just been back in my old place about a week, when there was a knock on the door. I looked out the peep hole and there stood a man I didn't recognize. I asked "Who is it." And they said I am a lawyer with the firm. McNeal & Son's. I need to speak to Ms. Dana Wheeler." I said, "I am Dana Wheeler. Can I ask what this is about ?" He said "Yes ma'am but I need to show you some papers so can I please come in ?" Officer Eric Collins and his partner Tony Watson had started coming by my apartment several times a day. Just about that time I heard a car door slam and heard, "Is there something we can help you with sir, we are from the county sheriffs office." I opened the door then and looked out to see Eric, Tony, and the lawyer standing there. The layer looked at me and said, "Boy you sure got the cops here fast." *laughing* I said "I didn't call them but is there a reason I might need to call them ?" He got serious then and said, "Well no ma'am I am just here to give you these papers is all." I looked at the papers he was holding and asked him what they were about as I had never had any dealings with a lawyer before. Eric said, "Dana can I maybe help you. Want me to look at the papers and see what this is all about ?" I said "Yes please do, all of you please come on in and have a seat. It is already starting to get hot. I was stuck inside all winter so I didn't get to enjoy any cool. Just hot damn Texas heat. Wish I lived in Alaska at a time like this. *laughing* Can I offer you gentlemen some iced tea or a soda to drink." They all agreed that that sounded good so I went into my small kitchen to get them all a tall glass of iced tea. When I came back out, Eric was asking the lawyer what this was all about since it looked like a will. to be continued: ©SexStarvedRedHead
