Chapter One
In the Dark of the Night
Monroe
Rachel sat in the office, staring as Monroe angrily kept beating on the thick glass that kept the weapons safe. She did not move. Did not make a single action to try to help him. "God bless, help me Rachel!" He shouted, angrily, slamming the tool he was using down to the ground.
"I don't want to." She said, calmly.
"If you don't help me Rachel, we'll both die, you and me….now tell me, you're not willing to kill yourself too, just to kill me…because you love your daughter too much." He spat.
Rachel just sat there, calmly, showing no emotion, whatsoever. "I'll do anything to kill you, even if it means, not seeing my daughter again." She said, slowly, her voice thick with tears. Monroe shook his angrily, and pounded his fist into the wall.
"What did I ever do to you, Rachel?" He demanded. "Huh? What did I ever do to you, to deserve this kind of respect and torture!?"
"You killed my son, and husband." She said.
"Rachel, this is war…people die, that's what war means, if you did not want your son involved then why was he?"
"Because you called on him in the first place, if you left him alone he would've been fine!" She shouted, angrily.
Just then, she paused, and looked at the monitor behind Monroe. "What is she doing here?" She asked, quietly.
"Now do you want to help me? Or do you just want to fight with me?" He asked.
Rachel sighed, not knowing what to do. This was her chance. When would she ever get a chance like this again?
Angrily, she got up and decided to make the painful decision to help Monroe.
###
Charlie
"I should've stayed out there." She whispered.
"Hush," Miles snapped.
Charlie sighed. Why did her mother come into this place? Just then, they heard shooting, just as it hit her in the arm. Charlie screamed, in pain , and dropped my gun, holding her wound with her other hand. She saw Miles and Nora heading one way, while Aaron stayed with her.
"Charlie," He whispered. "We got to go."
She rose to her feet, and ran behind Aaron, grabbing her gun in the process. She shot back, several times, before hiding behind a rack. "I don't think…" Aaron began. "Hush," Charlie said. Just then, a man came up behind them, and was going to shoot. They had no way out, and Charlie had just realized that she ran out of ammo, but as he put his gun up to shoot, he was shot.
Walking forward came the one and only, Monroe. Charlie frowned. "You," Aaron said. "Charlotte, nice to finally meet you, " He said, with a calm voice. He grabbed me by the wrist. "Hey!" a familiar voice shouted.
"Mom?" Charlie asked, still in Monroe's grasp.
"Monroe, this was not our deal." She said, her face red.
"I'm wanting payment for saving your daughter's life, and until it gets paid, I want her." He said.
"You can't have her!" Aaron shouted, still behind the rack. "Oh, yes," Monroe said, smiling. He pulled out a gun, and aimed it for both of them. "If anyone follows us," He said. "I will blow your head off!"
He yanked on Charlie's wrist, as they walked away.
Back to the exit.
