Useless men Lauren thought. She looked between all the men surrounding her the smaller of the men that tied her up seemed to be the weakest link. Slowly she shuffled towards him, reaching his legs she bumped into him on purpose and looked up. She even managed a tear to slide down her cheek, she thought the damsel in distress look would work on the young athletic man.

Ivy had saved his and his mother life, and she had given him a home, a family and a job. He had no way to thank her properly and he certainly wouldn't help those who meant her harm.
