Jack Wilder was sitting on a chair next to the other four Horsemen. It was a week since they had got the instructions of what the eye wanted them to do. All four of them sat there in their own world thinking about the task ahead of them. Then there was a big Thump from the direction of the door which meant a letter had been delivered. No one moved.
"All right don't all rush at once, I'll get it" Jack groaned as he stood up and made his way to the door. The letter on the mat had no address on it, it just said Mr Wilder. Jack opened the letter and started to read.
Dear Mr Wilder The task ahead of you is a great task to do. You will need someone to be the brains of the operation.
Go with the other horsemen to one of the back ally's behind this building at 11o'clock. You will find a young girl from your past, tell her the plan and she will be the brains.
Sincerely The eye
So just like the letter said, Merritt, Danny, Henley and I found themselves behind the building at 11 o' clock. The problem was there was three alley ways to choose from. Just then a scream rang out. I knew who it belonged to this was a scream I hoped never to hear again.
I turn towards the other three horsemen. I can feel that I have gone very pale. As fast as I can I race down the middle alley knowing that they will follow me. Soon enough I come to a wider part of the alley and see someone being held against a wall with a knife against their throat.
I react quickly I run forward pull the man off of the girl before punching him in the face. I suddenly see Danny and Merritt next to me hitting the man. He soon runs off. I rush over to the girl it is who I think it is. I walk over to her and put her head against my cest waiting for her to wake up
Merritt Pov
We all watch Jack silently as he cradles the girls head. After about two minutes the girl groans
"Annie, Annie can you hear me" says Jack hope burning in his eyes
The girls eyes open they focus on Jack and she stutters out
"J -J Jack"
"Yeah it's me"
"Where did he go there was a man and he had a knife and" The girl who is apparently called Annie says. It looks like she's hyperventilating. Jack sees this and starts to sooth her.
"It's alright Annie he's gone now and I won't let him hurt you again"
Jack helps the girl up and they embrace looking like they are not willing to let go again.
The girl finally turns and sees us. She starts looking us up and down making every one even me feel uncomfortable. Jack chuckles before saying.
"They haven't got any weapons Annie and I know they won't hurt you". At these words she stops looking us up and down and begins to calm down.
"Let's get out of here" says Jack after a minute of silence. The girl whispers something in Jacks ear to which he nods to. She goes down to the end of the Alley and picks up a box when she gets closer I see it is a guitar case.
