Hello there my lovely people! Thank you for all your reviews, you guys keep me writing. So thank you so much for that! Now, enough with my psychobabble, on with the show!
*Outside the Dal*
Dyson walked down the alley by the Dal and his eye started to change from their normal bluish grey to wolf gold and he sniffed quietly trying to pick up on Kenzi's scent to see if she'd been in that direction in lately, he breathed slowly and found the slightest scent of rosewater mixed with lavender and white chocolate and he started following the scent as Bo followed behind him quietly.
*At the warehouse*
Kenzi laid in one of the more comfortable couches that was against the far wall of the warehouse and Alexis sat in the recliner beside the couch. "You look really terrible Kenzi... You feeling alright?" Kenzi smiled and nodded a little. "Yea, just haven't been sleeping to well lately. Mind if I catch some z's?"
Alexis shook her head and stretched. "Not at all go ahead, I'm gonna go so you can sleep. I'll bring you back some food, Yeah?" Alexis said in her pretty albeit heavily german accented voice and Kenzi smiled and nodded, drifting off to sleep easily as Alexis tossed a blanket over Kenzi and walked to the door quietly, heading to the store.
Bryce watched as the little blonde emerged from the tunnels below, he smirked as he watched. This was the only activity he'd seen, coming or going from that particular passageway all evening. Meaning, poor little Kenzi was all alone in there. He wanted to laugh; this was just like old times again!
He slid out of his car slowly and walked toward the tunnel slowly, watching his surroundings to make sure no one was near or watching and he entered the tunnel quietly and made his way down the path he had memorized almost perfectly.
Alexis patted her pockets and cussed at herself, she had left her phone at home. She sighed and doubled back quickly, running back towards the tunnel, finally reaching it about five minutes later. After a short walk later, she climbed up the later into the warehouse and she walked through the door and gasped." Kenzi wake up!"
Bryce turned quickly from where he was standing over Kenzi; he hadn't expected the girl to be back so soon. He stalked toward Alexis who was frozen like a deer in the headlights and he grabbed her by the throat and pinned her to the wall pulling a hunting knife from his pocket, causing Alexis to scream and Kenzi to bolt upright.
*Searching for Kenzi*
Dyson followed Kenzi's scent to a cemetery where it clashed with the scent of dust, furniture polish and faint traces of several unspecified fruits that lingered heavier in the air than Kenzi's scent. "She met someone here." Bo looked at him curiously. "How do you know?"
Dyson pulled out his phone and dialed Trick, looking at Bo. "I can smell dust and furniture polish, she must have met with someone who was near old furniture or something." Trick picked up the phone and Dyson stood up slowly. "Trick, do you know of any abandon furniture stores or warehouses in the area near the cemetery on 5th and Downing?"
Bo watched Dyson's face as he seemed to be listening to Trick carefully, she pulled out her phone and tried to call Kenzi again, the call didn't go through, and it went straight to voicemail. "Maybe her phone died..." Bo thought to herself as she bit her lip and Dyson hung up the phone.
Dyson looked at Bo. "There are a few places that fit what we're looking for. The closest place is an old furniture store on 8th and crest. Let's head back to the Dal and get my car, it will make checking these places out faster." Bo nodded and they headed back towards the Dal quickly…
*At the warehouse*
Kenzi couldn't believe her eyes, the man she'd run so far to escape was standing there about to kill one of her closest friends. "Bryce let her go!" Kenzi jumped off the couch and ran over and started hitting him in the back and on his arms since she couldn't his head. Bryce swung his arm back knocking Kenzi away and she hit the floor and he let Alexis's throat go and punched her hard in the gut so hard she passed out.
He turned back to Kenzi, only to see her scooting away from him as quickly as she could. Kenzi was starting to panic, Alexis was out cold and there was blood running from her head where she had fallen forward and Bryce and done nothing to catch her, the bastard.
He never had been a caring person, especially when he was with her mother, Kenzi closed her eyes as she started having flashes of things similar to this scenario and Kenzi crawled backwards pulling her knees up to her chest, picturing herself back in the tiny, dark closet in her old house.
Bryce chuckled and watched as he realized why she was acting the way she was, she was remembering some of the many times he had locked her away when she had irritated him. "Kenzi, Kenzi, Kenzi… Why did you have to go and run away? Now you're going to have to pay for ruining my life."
Kenzi's eyes sprang open in disbelief; how the hell had she ruined HIS life? She looked up at his and reached in her pocket slowly turning her phone back on and she pressed redial and dropped her phone, and her hand landed on a broken piece of glass from one of the skylights and she picked it up, praying her phone had enough battery to last through all and she somehow managed to survive.
*Searching for Kenzi*
Bo and Dyson were driving to the last place where they might be able to find Kenzi, an abandon warehouse on the outskirts of town when her phone rang and she pulled out her phone and saw it was from Kenzi and Dyson looked at her curiously.
"It's Kenzi…" She answered the phone and put it to speakerphone. "Kenzi, is that you? Where are you at?" She didn't receive an answer to her question, all she and Dyson heard was Kenzi in the background yelling.
*At the warehouse*
Kenzi stood, no longer feeling as weak anymore, she was angry. "How Bryce, how am I the one who ruined anyone's life here? You technically tortured me as a child! What did I do to deserve being locked in a closet for hours on end, or when I was practicing ballet and you got angry because I was using the TV for a tape so you pushed me and stepped on my ankle crushing it! How did I deserve all that?!"
He took a step back from Kenzi in surprise; he hadn't expected her to lash out so quickly, but he recomposed himself and smirked and walked towards her slowly, waiting for her to try and strike him. Kenzi saw in the dim light of the warehouse that he was moving towards her and started to back into the corner she had been sitting in previously.
Bryce got close enough to grab Kenzi's left arm, big mistake. Kenzi brought up her right hand swinging her arm cutting Bryce's face with the glass and he released her arm and she kneed him in the balls with as much force as she could summon and he doubled over, dropping his knife and stumbled back from her.
Kenzi dropped and picked up the knife and made a break for it, not counting on Bryce recovering so fast and he ran and tackled her to the ground knocking the knife away from her and he rolled her onto her back as she panted. "That was a dumb move on your part Kenzi."
He punched her in the mouth and she whimpered in pain and spit out some blood as her pulled a gun out of the waistband of his pants and pointed it in Kenzi's face and she stared up at him as her life flashed before her eyes and she last thing it showed was a moment when she and Dyson were hugging and she was truly.
*Outside the warehouse*
Dyson had been listening to the commotion through the phone and had subconsciously applied more pressure to the gas pedal as soon as he heard the anger and fear in Kenzi's voice. He pulled up outside the warehouse as he heard Kenzi whimper through the phone, then there was a loud scream through the phone and a gunshot rang through the air from inside the warehouse and into his open car window and his heart dropped as the line went dead…
