Five minutes later, the doors to my coffin were opened. I blinked rapidly against the glare of white which assaulted my senses. Hands immediately reached for my bare torso and lifted me bodily from the burial ground. Strong, male arms lifted and then soft feminine ones covered me with a blanket.

Captain Withers sank to the ground with me carried close to his chest. Jess knelt beside me crying and thanking God that she had found me again. I blinked as my eyes adjusted and sighed as she stroked my cheek and held her face to mine.

‘Oh Alex…’ she breathed. ‘I was beginning to think I’d lost you…’

I tried to speak but couldn’t move my mouth well.

‘What’s he done to you?’ she asked, gasping.

I tried to move, but the drugs had me disabled.

‘She needs medical attention, Jess,’ Captain Withers said, his face marred with confusion.

I managed to turn my head from side to side to say no.

‘No? Are you telling us no, Alex?’ she asked.

I nodded slowly, my head moving against the Captain’s arm. The ambulance crew were moving in to help but Dan wasn’t moving just yet.

I opened my mouth and tried to speak. ‘Dr…’ I tried. ‘Dr…ugs,’ I managed to mutter somewhat pathetically.

‘You’ve been drugged?’ he asked me.

I nodded.

‘You know who did this to you?’ he questioned.

I nodded once more.

‘Name?’

I nodded. I opened my mouth to speak. ‘Je…re…my,’ I managed, bit by bit.

‘Jeremy?’ he repeated.

I nodded.

‘Do you have a surname?’ he wondered.

I frowned and thought for a moment. A picture came to my mind and I immediately knew his surname from it. ‘Sw…an.’

‘Swan? Jeremy Swan?’

I nodded.

The Captain lifted me then and gently placed me on the stretcher where paramedics began fussing with me and strapping me to the bed. All the time they dealt with me, Jess would not move away from my side-even when asked to. She stayed beside me, holding my hand and our eyes remained connected. I felt her love and joy that I was safe and in those moments, I felt incredible blessed to be still alive. With Jess by my side, I knew there would be nothing to fear.
