| Sunshine climbed out of the shower and put her robe on. She picked up her hairbrush and started brushing her hair when she heard a noise. She stopped and looked and heard it again. She slowly put the brush down and just as slowly walked from the bathroom. �Nick?� She didn�t get an answer and hesitated before moving. She slowly moved towards the phone and reached for it as someone moved from the shadows. �Don�t even think about it.� �What do you want?� �I�ll do the talking, Sweetheart.� She just looked at him. �I want the money and jewels.� �I don�t have any.� �Don�t lie.� He walked around the bed towards Sunshine. �You�re a big movie star, Mrs. Carter; and your husbands a big rock star. I know you have money and jewels.� �You better leave or I�ll scream.� �I doubt that.� He pointed a gun at her and she backed up. �That�s what I thought. Now give me the jewels and the money.� �O-O-Ok; just let me�� She pointed to the one chair and slowly walked over to it. She opened her plane carry-on and dumped its contents on the floor. She picked up all the jewelry and gave it to the guy. �That�s all I have.� �What about the money?� She just looked at him. �Now!� She jumped and got her wallet and took out the money. He grabbed it from her and counted it. �Is this all?� �That�s all I carry.� �Is this all the jewelry?� �Yes.� He gave a disgusted sigh and looked at her. �What�s that?� �What?� He stuffed the money and jewels in his coat pocket and pulled her up off the floor. �This.� He held up her hand. �How much are these beauties worth?� �Not enough.� �Don�t lie. They have to be worth thousands. Maybe millions.� �They�re not.� He smiled and went to remove her wedding rings and she bit his hand. �Ahh!� She pushed him away and ran to the door. Just as she reached the door she was slammed against it. �Ugh!� He pulled her back. �Let go!� �You�re not going anywhere.� He pulled her away from the door and threw her on the bed. �Somebody help me!� �Quiet!� He punched her in the face and she screamed before he covered her mouth. �Quiet I said.� He hit her again and she struggled beneath him and someone pulled him off her. �Show a little respect for the lady.� Sunshine quickly got off the bed, grabbing the phone and went into the bathroom. She shut and locked the door behind her and called down to the lobby. �Concierge.� �Someone just broke into my room and tried to rob me.� �Calm down, miss. What room are you in?� �1521. Can you please send help?� �They�ll be right up.� She slowly lowered the phone and there was a knock at the door. �Ahh!� �It�s all right, miss,� they said. �He�s out cold.� She just coward in the corner and they knocked on the door again. �Miss.� �Fischetti, what the fuck are you doing here?� �What the fuck are you doing here?� �Where�s Sunnie? Where�s my wife?� Sunshine looked at the door at the sound of Nickolas� voice. �She�s in there.� �Sunnie, its Nick.� She got up and walked over to the door and quickly opened it up. �Sunnie.� She threw her arms around him. �Nick.� �It�s ok, Sweets.� �He was going to hurt me.� �Not anymore. I�m here. Shh! Shh! Shh!� He looked at Bradley. �Did anyone call the police?� �Yeah,� Bradley said. �What happened?� Nickolas led Sunshine over to the bed and he sat down with her. �What the fuck happened, Fischetti?� �I don�t know. I was walking to my room, I heard a woman scream, and I kicked in the door, and saw the guy on top of her.� �Are you following her now?� �I had no idea you guys were in Germany.� Nickolas just glared at him and held onto his wife. �Nicky,� Sunshine said. �I�m right here, Sweets,� Nickolas said. �I�m not going anywhere.� �I need all you people to back up,� the security said. �This is a police matter.� �What happened here?� one of the officers asked as the guy moaned on the floor. �My wife was attacked,� Nickolas said getting up. �I suggest you do something about it.� �It was probably an attempted robbery,� Bradley said. �And Sunn just got in the way.� �Search and cuff him,� the officer ordered. �I want you out of here,� Nickolas said to Bradley. �I just saved Sunn from being raped so a little gratitude would be nice,� Bradley said. �Do you want a thank you? Thank you; now leave.� �I can�t believe how inconsiderate you are.� �I�m inconsiderate? I�m thinking about my wife right now and she doesn�t need all these people.� �Well you weren�t here when she needed you.� �I got called to the studio and I left the second I got a bad feeling something was wrong.� �Recording in the middle of the night, huh? Interesting.� �Get the fuck out.� �I never understood why Sunn married you.� �Because I love him,� Sunshine said and they looked at her. CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 7 HOME |
