"Eric, run!"
I started to run back to the door when I winced at the sound of the click of a gun and Eric starting to complain.
"Hey, let go of me! Don't touch that!"
I slowly turned around and saw Eric struggling in the hands of a very big man, while another took his computer, shutting it in the process. I quickly hid and tried to think of a plan.
That's when I heard him. I had heard the voice many times when Eric had played it. The slight Hispanic accent was actually unnerving. Eric said he hated that voice.
"Well. what do we have here? Who do you work for? The police, the FBI, the CIA?"
Wait, Fadhil was not supposed to be here. He was supposed to be coming back tomorrow from a business trip. Maybe it was one of his men. But I still needed to act now, I needed Sam's help.
"W-What? I'm here to see the owner of this house, I'm supposed to install a firewall."
"Really? I doubt that, since I own this house."
No. It is Fadhil. This is not good, he probably knows the police was looking into him and staged a trip. It was a trap! I had to get Eric out of there right now! I was about to do something stupid when I heard the sound of flesh hitting flesh!
"Ow, that hurt!"
"It was supposed to you idiot!" I could hear Fadhil spit out.
"If you do not tell me who you work for, I will break your hand and you will never be able to type again!"
Eric must have glanced at where I was hiding because the next thing I knew Fadhil was screaming at me to come out and through the corner of my eye I could see Eric's terrified expression.
I did the only thing I could do. I slid my gun out and slowly walked out with hands raised. As soon as I did three large men came and checked to make sure I didn't have any more weapons. I glanced at Eric and immediately was concerned. Eric already had a black eye forming and was terrified, of course that might have been because he had a gun to his head. Then Fadhil addressed me.
"I will kill him if you do not tell me who you work for."
At that statement Eric noticeably paled. I must have hesitated for too long because all of a sudden Eric got pistol whipped.
"Ok! Ow!" I heard Eric mumbling some other words while he sat on the ground rubbing the side of his head.
I checked to make sure he was ok, then I lost it. I threw myself at the man closest to me and almost got to the second one when I once again heard a click. Thinking it was pointed at me I raised my hands and slowly turned around. I was no good to Eric dead or injured.
I really needed Sam.
