Okay, so I hope you're liking this so far. XD I'm going to try and do a chapter every day, but I'm not sure if I'll manage. I really appreciate your reviews, it's the first time I've ever written something, so I know it's probably not that great. But thanks anyway. :)
Chapter 2
Jac sat at a table with her back to the doors, nursing a cup of coffee. It was quite cold, and she zipped up her grey hoodie. It was practically deserted, and in the quiet, she could feel herself slipping back into a dream.
Zosia sighed as she stepped out of the lift, and tied her scarf round her neck as she prepared to go out into the storm. Because she was still fuming about her earlier conversation with Guy, she didnt opening, and so almost walked into them.
"Stupid doors." She muttered to herself as she reached up and tried to find the override switch.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A deep voice appeared beside her. She started to turn towards it; she heard a click and felt something hard being pressed into her side. Zosia took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She could feel her heart racing, adrenaline surging round her body. She stood up straight and decided to try and reason with him.
"I'm not sure what you want, but there are a lot of easier ways to get things than this. All this will do is hurt people and get you in trouble." She spoke in a low tone, trying to keep her voice level.
"Please, you can stop this now, no one else will know." She felt the pressure in her side lessen a little. Why was no one else coming? Even at this time of night, there were usually people milling about in reception. But tonight it was empty, no one else was there, no one knew she was there. No one could help her. She shook her head and tried to pull herself together. Thinking like this was going to get her nowhere.
"There's no one else here?"
"No, just us."
From the other side of the room, hidden from sight around a corner, came the familiar beep of a pager.
Jac was cruelly woken from the warmth of her dreams by her pager. As she came back to reality, she could hear an angry voice from across the room. She concentrated on what was being said.
"You little bitch! You said there was no one else here. You liar. Liar!" Jac was suddenly alert. She could hear a woman trying to defend herself.
"I swear, I didn't know she was there."
"LIAR!"
"I didn't know!" She recognised that voice. She knew it. She just couldn't place it.
Zosia was terrified. There was no other word for it.
"Go over there. NOW!" He grabbed hold of her and turned her towards the sound of the pager. She started to walk forwards, her legs shaking. As she neared the corner, she hesitated, unsure of who she would find. And of who she wanted to find. Arthur would be comforting, but really quite useless. Guy might be helpful, but he'd just make me feel worse. I suppose that Sacha might be…
"Oi! Move it, now." Zosia tried to clear her mind, and then took another step forwards. She took a deep breath, and then turned the corner. She found herself face to face with the one person she least expected to see. Jac.
