He frowned a bit as he watched her.

"I hope to see you around before you leave town. I'm working at the pizza shop delivering pizzas."

Dustin shrugged and watched her go.

"So much for the two of us trying to be friends."

He picked up the things he needed, dropped them off at his apartment, then headed to work.

Dustin was out on a delivery and was lost. He saw a house and hoped whoever lived there could help him.

He knocked on the door and waited.

Dustin frowned when nobody answered.

"Hello? Is anybody home? I'm trying to deliver a pizza but I'm lost."

He started back for his car then saw the car that was setting outside the house. He grinned as he got back in his car. He called Jordan at the pizza shop and got the directions. Since it was the last delivery of the night he would be finished as soon as he had dropped it off.

Once he was officially done, he headed back to the house but parked where he could watch the place without being seen.

Dustin made a few phone calls and soon Sydney was in his secret warehouse. Nobody in this area knew about this place except those who worked for him.

He looked through the glass walls at the woman laying on the cot. He knew she wouldn't be able to get out of her prison. The glass was unbreakable and the door required a special item to unlock and only one person had that item.

"She'll be awake soon and she is going to be pissed."

He gave her a little wave through the glass. 

"Did you really think that I wouldn't find you, Syd?"

He shrugged and grinned.

"I have not fully decided yet. When I know, you will know. Until then, you can enjoy your time here."

He pointed to a little spot on the door. 

"Your meals will be delivered here. I promise that they will be safe to eat. I have no plans to kill you.  At least not yet."

He shook his head and grinned.

"I'm not that cruel."

Dustin remembered that.

"I sent him to a cooking school afterwards. He made the teacher and entire class sick before getting kicked out."

He laughed when she said that.

"I still may do that. Great idea, Syd."

He shook his head and laughed.

"I'm not as stupid as you must think I am. You are staying right where you are."

He put a bottle of water in the slot for her.

"Dinner is in an hour."

He watched her thinking about things.

"There is one way you can get out of there."

He couldn't wait to see her reaction to this.

"We get married. I'm not talking just a convenient one either. I'm talking true marriage with the love, sex, and all that fun stuff. Lots and lots of sex."

He shrugged.

"You're choice. You will be there for awhile. I can't promise that I will make the offer a second time."

He looked over at her.

"It would get you out of your cage."

He shrugged and looked at her.

"Your choice."

He pulled his phone from his pocket and called Jesse. 

"You can bring her in."

He sat the phone on the night stand beside the bed that was in the main part of the room. Yes, Dustin was insane enough to have put Sydney's cage in his own bedroom.

He smiled when Jesse brought Georgia into the room. She was tied and gagged.

"Put her on the bed and make sure she is tied down and can't get away."

He hit the button that sent the small electric charge through her floor. It wasn't enough to hurt her, but enough to let her know he meant business.

"I said shut up."

"We'll see who's the big baby."

He turned his back to her and ignored her. The only sounds she heard from him then was his snores and an occasional fart.

He was up early the next morning and saw her sleeping. He went into his bathroom to shower and shave. He walked naked across his room to his closet. By then she was awake.

"Morning."

He nodded.

"I'll find out what it was about. Probably singed his eyebrows again trying to cook something."

He looked down into her eyes.

"I was serious about getting married. I just asked in a really bad way."

He nodded and smiled.

"I can live with that."

He had always loved being with her. She was the woman that his heart wanted as much as his body did.

His hand slowly moved over her making her moan even more. 

He shook his head and looked at Sydney.

"He wasn't supposed to hurt her. Just knock her out and bring her here. It was set up before the two of us got things worked out. I didn't have the chance to send Jesse a message to tell him not to bother."

Dustin sent Jesse out of the room and waited for Sydney to get off the phone.

"I wasn't going to have her hurt. I swear. I was going to have her brought here and put with you to keep you company."

He was a bit shocked.

"I thought he was gay."

He frowned hearing that.

"That does explain several things."

He looked at Sydney.

"How does she feel about him?"

He frowned when he realized what he may have done to his brother.

"She loved him, didn't she?"

He hated what he had done to his brother and Janet.

"I'll talk to her. She has to see that it wasn't his fault. He didn't have a choice."

"Thank you."

He looked at her and sighed.

"You do know that I wouldn't have had her hurt, right?"
