Keep Holding On

Calleigh stood next to her friend held her hand and whispered "don't worry sweetie you going to be ok"

"Calleigh I'm scared" whispered Natalia "I'm scared for him"

"I told you already I'm not going to let anybody hurt you or him all the three of us are walking out of here safe ok?"

Calleigh was determined to protect her family no matter what it takes even if it'll take her own life

"Calleigh?" whispered Natalia

"Yes sweetie"

"I'm sorry" she said in tears

"You have nothing to be sorry for Natalia" said Calleigh

"Yes I do you are here because of me" whimpered Natalia

"Natalia…"

"I let those people fool me I trusted them with…" she chocked with tears

"Hey I've met them too and I didn't do anything" said Calleigh holding Natalia's hand tight

"You felt something wrong"

"But I didn't do anything about it, I let the both of you down, I let Ryan down" after a second she regret that she motioned Ryan's name because it made Natalia cry harder

"Ryan… oh g'd… he'll never forgive me"

"For what? You didn't know that this is going to happen"

"Oh I should've known, it's only me but a also risked you and… him"

"Natalia stop it! We're walking out of here ok? All three of us and Ryan is going to be just fine but it wont happen unless you start believe in it you are a fighter and you sitting here giving up?"

Natalia whipped her tears with her sleeve and said "you right for us and for Ryan we're getting out of here"

"That's the spirit" said Calleigh with a smile "now as Ryan once said just because someone took our guns away it doesn't makes us harmless we still got our brains, so we need to think"

"We don't even know where we are" said Natalia

"How does it look to you?" asked Calleigh

"Like a big parking garage without cars or anything car related" confessed Natalia

"I'm thinking storage facility" said Calleigh

Natalia stated to cry again "great some abandon storage facility now who'll find us I'm sorry Cal I can't be strong, I wont to get out of here I want to see Ryan!"

"And I'll get you out; I'll get us out" Calleigh looked around desperately looking for solutions "look" she said suddenly "there a broken chair leg"

"And how does it helps us?" asked Natalia

"It's a weapon Nat, as long as one of them or both of them will come in I'll hit them with this and you can run"

"There is no way I'm leaving you here" said Natalia angry at Calleigh for even suggesting something like that

"It's not just you and me remember? Nat you need to promise me that you going to run for your life?"

Natalia was about to answer then they both heard steps coming to their direction, Calleigh gave Natalia a look that said 'this is our chance'

They both stood in they way that if the door will open they'll be behind her and as soon as the person opened the door Calleigh landed the chair leg on his head

"Run!" she yelled and grabbed Natalia by her arm as they started to run, they didn't knew where they were ruining but they run as fast as they could without looking back the only thing they knew is that what ever this place was it was abandon a long narrow hall on the way there were like a million doors

Suddenly Natalia stopped "I have to breath"

"Are you ok?" asked Calleigh worried

"I'll be ok only when we'll get out of here" she said taking a deep breath "I'm ready" she said and they continued to run

Calleigh tried her best not to let go of Natalia's hand but at some point they parted she continued to run until she heard Natalia scream behind her

"Natalia!" she turned around but Natalia was gone suddenly someone's hand grabbed her arm she tired to fight the person until he said "Calleigh it's me!"

"Eric? Oh thank g'd" she hugged "you found us! Eric somebody took Natalia she was behind me I let go of her for a second and somebody got her Eric!"

"Hey we are going to get her back ok?"

"How Eric? This place is huge we don't even know where she is"

"This place is surrounded Horatio and Frank and everybody here they can get out of here" said Eric

"It doesn't mean that they still cant hurt her Eric…"

"Hey" he said again holding her by her shoulders "you really think that we'll let Natalia get hurt"

"You haven't heard them" whispered Calleigh in terror "those bastards they have no soul they really convinced that she… oh g'd"

"We'll get Natalia back everything is going to be ok and those monsters are going to jail"

"Eric I'm so worried for her she was right behind me and…" she started to cry "Ryan… I promised him every day"

"I know" he said hugging her

"Eric" she said looking up at him "how's Ryan?"

He looked aside then looked back at her and said "not good"
