Chapter 90

Kim left the hospital in a hurry and walked over to the parking lot. She was late…. again. She could already see Jon’s pout. They only had a couple days before they would play the Shows at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Yesterday they already played Hershey and thankfully their first Stadium show with the new equipment went well.

Her head was swirling with so many thoughts lately. So much things needed to be done before she could leave the hospital. She sighed. Three more weeks. Three more weeks and she would be with Jon in London and officially start her life without work.

“Shit!” She cursed as she realized she didn’t take her car in the morning to get to the hospital, but let Lloyd drive her.

She turned around and started to walk back to the hospital when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Nervously she turned around but couldn’t see anybody in the darkness.

“I need time off.” She mumbled to herself. Sure she only imagined it. She continued her walk, her heels clicking loudly on the concrete. She shivered lightly. Something was wrong. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but she had the feeling that someone was watching her…again.

Kim started to search for her mobile in her handbag when she heard a sound behind her again. She spun around.

“Hi my darling.” He snarled.

“Nigel!”

“I was watching you.” He moved closer to her.

She gulped. He followed her. She wasn’t imagine it in the last couple months. Fear rose in her, when he stepped even closer. She couldn’t move. It was just like ten years ago. The pictures flashed back to her mind.

“You are mine, Kimberly.” He whispered and grabbed her wrist. Her eyes grew wide when she felt his cold hand made contact with her skin. And then she could hear Dorothea’s voice in her head, telling her she couldn’t do anything on her own. Anger replaced her fear.

“Get away from me, you bastard! HELLLLLLPPPPP!” she screamed, freed herself from him and turned to get away from him.

For a minute he was shocked and surprised. This wasn’t the little girl he knew, but then his eyes  started to fill with anger.

“You little slut. You are mine.” She could hear his steps following and started to run. If she could just get back to the entrance of the hospital.

But before she could finish the thought he grabbed her hard. She screamed and tried to kick him.

“Stop it!” he snarled and she could feel cold metal pressed against her throat. She swallowed hard. Shit, he had a knife.

“Let me go Nigel.” She told him as calmly as she could.

“No, you are mine. You belong to me, not to this stupid grinning Rockstar!”

Jon! Her emotions ran wild when she thought about him. What if she would never see him again?

“We will have a little fun now, my darling.” His breath was close to her ear when his left hand glided down to her skirt. She tried to pull away again.

“STOP IT BITCH!” he yelled and pressed the knife harder against her throat. She started to tremble.

“No, you stop it!” a male voice echoed through the night.

Lloyd! That was Lloyd’s voice. Kim couldn’t see him though. It seemed he was standing behind her.

“Let her go, you arrogant son of a bitch. Don’t give me the pleasure to shot you, like I should have done ten years ago.” Kim blinked irritated at his comment.

The unmistakable sound of releasing the safety of a weapon could be heard. Kim’s breathing sped up. She had no idea Lloyd was carrying a gun, but to be honest, right now she was extremely thankful for it.

“Ah, the old servant. You aren’t capable of using a weapon. You are too stupid for it.” Nigel yelled snidely.

A shot ripped loudly through the night.

“Wanna bet?” Lloyd’s voice was calm after he fired into the air and aimed at Nigel’s head again in a split of a second.

Kim could feel Nigel shaking and moving the knife slightly from her throat. That was all she needed. She drilled the heel of her six-inch high heels into his right foot. He screamed in pain and let go of her.

Losing her balance she stumbled and fell on her back. Nigel tried to get after her, but Lloyds hard voice stopped him.

Kim started to wonder how this situation would end. She was only lying about two feet away from Nigel. He was very much capable of jumping after her when she tried to move and stabbed her with the knife. It didn’t seem that he wanted to give up.

While all this thoughts were running through her head, she missed the fainted sound of sirens coming closer. When two police cars pulled into the parking lot and illuminated the whole scene with their headlights she was taken completely by surprise.

“Put the gun down.”

The officers were shouting at Lloyd. He didn’t move.

“Only if he puts down the knife.” He answered calmly and kept his aim at Nigel.

“He’s my bodyguard.” Kim said loudly and got the attention of the officers. “The other guy tried to rape me.”

“Put the knife down.” The officers changed their approach. Kim could see one officer moving carefully behind Nigel and stepping slowly closer. She tried not to stare at him and held her breath.

“Put the knife down. Hands up.” The officer put his weapon against Nigel’s back. He froze and finally admitted his defeat. Slowly he moved the knife to the side and threw it to the ground. It made clanging sound when it hit the concrete.

“On the ground!”

Kim closed her eyes and relaxed. It was over. She watched how police officers cuffed Nigel and pulled him away to one of the cars. She watched how Lloyd slowly put his gun down, locked it before handing it to a police officer. Somehow she still couldn’t move.

“Miss are you ok? Do you need a doctor?” a female officer approached her.

“No, I don’t think so.” She whispered.

“Miss Anderson.” Lloyd didn’t care that the officers wanted his statement. He moved over to her and put his jacket around her now trembling shoulders.

“Lloyd…how did you?...I thought nobody??” she stuttered.

“I’ll explain everything later, Miss Anderson. How about I take you home now. I’m sure Mr. Bongiovi is already worrying.” His voice was calm while he carefully helped her to her feet. She only nodded and felt tears running down her face. There was no doubt she was in shock.
