Chapter Two: My Rescuers
I waited, as the noise eventually subsided and the guards were on alert unsure of who had won. Soon they were both grunting as fights issued and ended with two dull thuds on the floor.
My gag and blindfold were removed and I saw two men before me. One was muscular, with a mustache, wearing all black and I noticed a big ring on his hand. The other man was dressed in black as well, mostly bald as far as I could tell, and held a knife in each hand, he looked skeptical as the first guy looked all business.
"Are you Melanie Cole?" asked the knife guy his voice full of skeptism, since I'm on the small side for a woman. "Yes, did my father send you?" I replied as he went behind me and cut the binds,'Finally.'I thought. "Yes, Richard Cole sent us. Are you hurt?"said the business voice was deep unlike the knife guy who sported a British accent like myself.
I stood up moving my limbs to get the blood flowing again, "Nope."I replied as another voice called out, "We gotta get out of here!" 'So these guys have their own team,nice.'I thought as the leader I assumed said, "Lets move." knife guy grabbed my hand as we ran out of the compound.
Once outside I saw many buildings on fire as we passed ending west of the compound for the lake. The rest of the team joined us forming a circle around me for protection.
We reached the docks and hurried to a black plane, I climbed inside after the knife man, "Sit down and buckle up."he commanded.I did so as the others boarded the plane. They were a team of six by my count and soon we were air born and heading home.I finally asked, "Who are you guys?"
"Well I'm Lee Christmas," said Lee aka knife man as he came from the front of the plane. "That's Toll, Hale, Gunnar, Yang, and our pilot is Barney."Lee finished. "Nice to meet you all, I'm Melanie Cole. Thank you all for saving me."I told them. "You're welcome!" came Barney's voice, the others nodded while Lee smiled.
