You were taken while on patrol and your boyfriend, Commander Veracruz, will stop at nothing to find you and bring you back safely.

..............

This is a small TV movie that Pedro did several years called Burn Notice The Fall Of Sam Axe.

............

Some swearing and violence and taking someone hostage, although nothing real serious.

............

One minute you were patrolling the area with Rio Veracruz, the man in charge of this operation. And the next, you were grabbed, blindfolded and your hands were tied.

You had seen Rio, running towards you, before you were blindfolded and roughly shoved into the back of a car and it zoomed away.

You try not to cry. You're stronger than this crap. You can endure this. You've endured far worse. Except....you always had aRio beside you. Now, you're alone. And scared.

..............

You're driven someplace not too far away from the camp you had set up with Rio. Just think about him, makes you ache. You feel the tears threatening again and you force yourself to stop.

You will not allow these evil men to see you weak. No flipping way. You're pulled out of the car and then pulled along inside a building. You have no idea what these people think they're going to accomplish by taking you.

Sudden fear strikes you. Only it's not for yourself. It's for Rio. He's the one they're after. Crap. Oh, crap. No, no, no! You won't let anyone hurt him!

He means too much to you. You're pushed into, what you assume is a room. Then...your blindfold comes off. At least now you can see what's going on.

A middle aged man, who has shaggy salt and pepper hair and a mostly gray goatee, is staring at you. He doesn't say anything and it's slightly unnerving.

"I am sorry about this. But we had no other choice." He stands and turns, leaving the room.

"You'll never capture Rio!" You shout.  "He's too clever for you!" The man doesn't even turn back around. He simply closes the door behind him and you hear it being locked.

You suddenly can't take it anymore and burst into tears. Oh, Rio. Where are you?

.............

You must have dozed off. You're groggy when you awaken and your throat is parched and you need to relieve yourself. Badly.

You start to shout, but since your throat is so damn dry, it's hard to. You stand up, since you're not chained to the chair you were sitting in.

You stand up and nearly fall over because your whole body is stiff. You walk around some, but that doesn't help your bladder any. You start banging on the door and a few minutes later, the man you saw before, appears.

"Can I have some water? And if it's not too much trouble, I need to use a toilet. Or even a damn bucket, if that's the only thing available."

"Right." The man takes your hand and leads you out into a small hallway. There's a crappy looking bathroom in a small room. You head in, but stop.

"I need my hands untied." The man considers this. "Now! Before I wet myself!"

He sighs loudly and unties your hands. You have to dash back into the bathroom quickly and just barely make it. Idiots,  you silently fume.

And why hasn't Rio rescued you yet? It's been hours. And you don't think you're all far away from the camp.

You're pissed off and scared and you want Rio. You start to cry again but almost immediately, you stop. Crying isn't going to get you anywhere. And why do these idiots even want Rio? He hasn't done anything wrong.

You call out for the man and he appears and ties your hands again. Then he leads you back to the room you were in and there's a cup of water, with a straw in it, sitting on the table.

You hurry over and suck up the water quickly.

"Would you like a little more?" You nod and he pours some more water for you. You quickly drink that, too. Then, you notice there's some fresh fruit sitting there, some pieces of a cut of apple and a peeled banana.

You can manage those, even with your hands tied. The man starts to leave.

"What is it that you want?" You demand. He just stares at you again and that's really starting to get on your nerves.

"Rio Veracruz isn't the man you think he is." Then he's gone.

...............

You hear...weapons firing. You feel groggy again.  You must have fallen asleep. Again. You shake yourself, hoping that maybe this is Rio, finally come to your rescue. It is.

The door to the room where you're being held hostage is kicked open. Rio is standing there. You run to him. And you immediately burst into tears.

Rio quickly unties your hands and you throw your arms around him, burying your face against his chest. His arms come up around you.

Rio gently kisses your forehead, but you want his lips on yours. You gently pull his head down and press your lips to his. It immediately calms you down.

"Are you okay, Y/N? Did they hurt you in any way?" You shake your head, as tears still silently slip down your cheeks. Oh, you're so relieved that Rio is here and will take you back where you belong. With him.

Rio gently scoops you up into his strong arms and carries you out to his truck. You cling to him, not wanting to let go. But you know he has to, in order to drive.

But another one of his men are doing the driving and you smile, just snuggling close to Rio.

.................

You needed a shower, so Rio helped. He has a solar powered shower set up in the far back, in some heavily wooded area.

He gently washes you and you allow it. You need to feel his hands on you. Afterwards, you lie close to him as you're in your bed, in the tent.

"I think those people were trying to...capture you." You bury your face against Rio's bare chest as he holds you.

"Yes, but they won't. We'll be leaving this place tomorrow. We'll go far away and they won't find me. Oh, mi amor. I was so worried!"

Now Rio is crying and you soothe him. He stops after a few minutes. You cling to each other. Rio's lips find yours in the dark and you smile.

"Yes, my beautiful Rio. Let us go far away so they can't find you." Rio kisses your forehead.

"Yes. We will."
