Hey I'm finally back for chapter 4 it took me a while because I wanted to make sure it was good and I hope it is…..ok so please R&R when your done like you all have been doing……I hope you all like it!
"Tristin……." Rory asks faintly after about five minutes of silence
"Yea?" Tristin replied groggily
"Is your head pounding too?" Rory asks
"It feels like it is made of lead, but we have to stay awake, it we don't….we have to stay awake" Tristin repeated.
"I'm so cold, it's freezing down here" Rory says shaking despite Tristin's arms around her.
"I know me too, but we will get out of here, my brother is going to be here soon" Tristin assured her.
"It doesn't take that long for a gunshot to kill someone or hurt them really badly at least, and no one would even hear it. You don't think that's why Mr. Medina brought us down here do you?"
"Of course not" Tristin answered firmly *That's exactly why* Tristin thought as he answered Rory.
"What if my mom doesn't come, she would never believe Mr. Medina would do this…."
"Your mom is not going to think about that, all she is going to think about is getting her daughter back. Try to relax we can't do anything else now"
"But what if he does come back down here?"
"Well I still have my knife, and I'm sure we could find something to hit him with in here." Tristin lights up the lighter and moves it around, relieve he could take his mind off of just sitting there and waiting. "There, there is a couple of metal rods over there you grab that, and I'll take the other one, just in case" Tristin instructs
This seemed to make Rory feel better and she sat back down with the rod in her lap, just as she seemed to finally relax. She heard footsteps. Rory jerked forward. "Did you hear that?"
"Yes. Maybe it's passing time, or a janitor, or my brother."
"It's too soon for passing time and your brother to be here, and we both know it's not the janitor……" Rory says matter a factly.
"OK, get behind the door and stay there, so you can surprise him" Tristin says quietly as the footsteps get louder. *I only hope he got rid of that gun* He thought
***********************
"I absolutely cannot sit here another minute" Lorelai announces completely stressed out.
Luke jumps up and grabs his coat. "That's it, I'm leaving you can come with me Lorelai if you want."
"Where are you going?" Lorelai asks
"Chilton" Luke answers simply
"Why? Rory didn't show up today. She isn't there"
"I have a feeling about Max, and I can't shake it, I tried to, because I knew how much you life him, but I'm sorry Lorelai I know something is wrong."
Lorelai closes her eyes and opens them when someone touches her shoulder "Lorelai, go with Luke, I will stay here, it can't hurt to check it out" Emily says softly
"OK" Lorelai says collecting herself and grabbing her coat.
"Come on" Luke says taking her by the arm.
********************
"Paris Gellar?"
"Here" Paris raises her hand
"Thank you. Rory Gilmore?" Mrs. Johansen asks
"I believe Rory was dropped from this course" Paris says
Mrs. Johansen frowns "No, she wasn't, she was not dropped. So that's it Tristin DuGrey and Rory Gilmore are our only absentees?"
"Why isn't Tristin here?" A boy asked a friend
"What are you talking about?" His friend (Mike) asked
"Tristin's car is here, it doesn't even seem to have been moved all night, he is still parked over that flyer that blew under his wheel yesterday when he parked." Rob replied
"So what are you saying? That doesn't make any sense" Mike answered
Mrs. Johansen heard all of this, careful not to raise her head.
"Did you guys here?" Louise asked taking her seat after presenting Mrs. Johansen her pass "Rory is missing, I was in the office and someone was saying how her mom kept calling to see if she showed up, no one has seen her since yesterday in guidance."
"Didn't Mr. Medina leave with her?" Madeline asked in a hushed voice.
"No he left right after her, so did Tristin" Paris whispered back "Now get back to work"
"Where is Mr. Medina anyway?" Louise asks
Madeline shrugs and Mrs. Johansen frowns she didn't like this at all.
**********************
Rory sat behind the door saying a silent prayer to herself, wishing she were anywhere but here. She wished Tristin could once more assure her everything would be OK but she dare not speak, for the footsteps were now upon the entrance of the door.
Tristin on the other side of the room, could barely make out Rory's figure. He wished he could make this go away for her, she didn't deserve this. A rush of adrenaline ran through Tristin, his anger overcoming his fear, he wouldn't accept defeat.
The doorknob turned and the door swung open just barely missing Rory. Mr. Medina stood in the entrance and to confirm Tristin's worst fear, the shiny silver gun was entwined in between Mr. Medina's fingers.
"Tristin, Rory, time to come out. Come now, after a day I think we can all talk this out like adults." Mr. Medina walked in, the light flooding in from behind him. "My oh my people have been worrying about you two, cell phone ringing off the hook, calls into school wondering where their precious daughter and son are. Then I thought maybe I should kill you both, then it occurred to me. You two are worth so much, in money terms of course. I figured I can get some money, kill you both and then leave." Mr. Medina laughed "Every time I think of that it tickles me all over. I love it. No one, especially Lorelai would ever think it was me. OK enough games come on out." Mr. Medina growls
*********************
The sirens wailed as people in the roads cleared way for the cop cars as they sped towards Chilton.
"What are their names again?" An officer asked Bryce
"Tristin and Rory. They said they were locked in a room in the basement third one in I believe he said." Bryce answered.
"We're almost there" The driver announced "Get ready men"
"What in the name of heavens is all this?" The headmaster called out, as the cops entered the building.
"Rory Gilmore and Tristin DuGrey are students here am I correct?" A cop asked waving the others in.
"Yes, they are, what is all this?" The headmaster asked once more.
"We have reason to believe one of your teachers here is holding them on these premises against their will and has imposed injury upon them"
"Nonsense none of my teachers have done such a thing."
"Can you account to where Maxwell Medina was yesterday at 2:40 PM and all of today for the matter?" The cops asked him.
"Of course he was-" The headmaster stopped mid-sentence "My goodness, he had left his room on personal business at that time yesterday and he has been in his room all day and just left now to go to a doctors appointment. There has to be a reasonable explanation for this."
"His car is still here" Another cop said informing the original cop "So is Tristin DuGrey's some of his friends said it looked as though it hadn't been moved since yesterday."
"Excuse me" The cop said to the headmaster going into the building his radio crackling.
"The door is locked. The janitor's keys are missing, we're working on the lock now" The voice came over the radio "Over"
"Thanks Harry, keep working at it" The cop answered.
By now a crowd has formed amidst all the confusion, the noise level raising by the minute.
Mr. Medina's class started to realize something was going on, and a cop with a badge that read, Jack walked in brusquely, "Please everyone remain calm and remain in your classrooms." He said then turned on his heel and walked out to inform the next class.
"What do you think it is?" Madeline asked turning around "It sounds exciting"
"Yea, something right out of a movie. Except the cop would be young and hot and-"
"It's sounds like something bad is going on" Paris interrupts Louse. "That's what it sounds like."
"Touch-ee" Louise makes a face.
"You are not getting this, Rory and Tristin and Mr. Medina are all missing. The cops are here they don't want us out there, something isn't right" Paris says curtly
"Whoa" Madeline drawls
**********************
"What's all this traffic?" Lorelai cries out
"Damn, all the roads are blocked looks like something is happening."
"Oh my gosh Luke look at all those cops, what's going on?" Lorelai asks
Luke glances out of his window and rolls it down as a cop walks over. "What's going on?" Luke asks
"Name please?" The cops asks
"Luke, and this is Lorelai Gilmore."
"Gilmore? You're daughter is Rory?" The cops immediate response came
"Yes, why-"
"Go right in" The cop signaled to another one and they cleared the path so Luke could drive through.
They pulled into the parking lot and were greeted by a young man in his early twenties. "Lorelai Gilmore?"
"Yes, I'm Lorelai what's going on?"
"Bryce DuGrey, Tristin's brother, come on my parents are already inside, they're waiting in the headmaster's office. Follow me"
Lorelai followed in a daze and Luke put his arm around her to comfort her.
"Please sit. We don't know much yet. As far as we know they are both OK." Bryce says opening the door. "Mom, Dad, Lorelai Gilmore. Lorelai this is Lisette and Carl DuGrey"
"Pleased to meet you" Lisette says
"Hi I'm Luke" Luke says shaking their hands and taking a seat.
"So do you know anything?" Carl asked
"Only that my daughter has been missing all night and today and I have no idea what's going on, people are saying my daughter and Tristin are locked up somewhere here?" Lorelai replies stressed
"That's about as much as we know as well" Carl answers
"So we're all in the dark here?" Luke asks
"I'm afraid so, they don't want to tell us anything until they have the facts some serious accusations have been made" Lisette replies
Lorelai sighs and sinks back into the chair she is sitting in.
*****************
"Come on, come on……" A man with a saw trying to cut the lock muttered to himself. "Got it! All right, clear the way, go on in boys" He shouted happily
A crowd of officers rushed down the stairs as silent as possible, heading towards the third room. They heard a shout of rampage followed by a gunshot, a girl screamed most obviously Rory, then a second shot, then came silence.
"Move, move, move, move!" The lieutenant yelled
The cops ran faster hurrying to where the shot was heard.
**********************
A/N: there's going to be a few flashbacks of those couple of minutes from different points of view.
*********************
"Excuse me, but why are there all these cops around? And why can't we leave when the bell rings?" Madeline asks
"Yea, and where is Mr. Medina?" Another student questioned
"And Rory and Tristin I heard they were missing since yesterday." Another student piped up.
"Now class, I am in the dark as much as you all are. These questions all have answers if you all are patient someone will answer them promptly, and-" Mrs. Johansen was interrupted by a bang that echoed through the halls, the class was in silence and another bang was heard.
"What was that?" Someone exclaimed
"We're going to die" A girl cried
"Class calm down! Please!" Mrs. Johansen cried over the chaos
An officer rushed in "Please do not allow anyone to leave these premises." And with that he left the room.
**********************
"That's it I cannot sit here another second!" Lorelai exclaims "I'm going to find someone who will talk to us" She stands up
"I'm coming with you, I've been patient enough" Lisette agrees
"Me too" Luke jumps up
"Wait we were instructed to stay here" Carl protests
"Then stay, but I am not going to sit around when my baby may be in trouble" Lisette claims and Carl grabs his jacket and runs out after them.
Just as the four of them, run past the guidance office to where a crowd of cops has formed, they hear an ear-popping bang! Lisette screams and Luke grabs Lorelai's arm and pulls her close. Carl takes hold of Lisette.
"Tristin!!!" Lisette screams before running ahead her heels clicking loudly on the floor. Lorelai, Luke and Carl all close behind.
"Stay back! Everything is under control!" A cop ordered everyone
"That sounded like a gun shot" Luke yelled
"Stay back" The cop repeated.
*******************
Mr. Medina glanced towards the stairs. "Guess there won't be any time for ransom…..guess I'll just have to kill you both now! Now come out!" He yelled insanely
Rory shook behind the door trying to keep quiet. Tristin groped the floor for something to throw, he took hold of a wrench and chucked it against the wall in the back of the room. Mr. Medina wasted no time in shooting at the exact spot. Rory screamed unable to control herself. Mr. Medina swung around, "Hello there Miss. Gilmore" He said sinisterly and pointed the gun at her as Rory stood up slowly trying to figure out what to do.
Mr. Medina cocked the gun and just as he pulled the trigger Tristin jumped on his back and tackled him. The gunshot rang out through the school. And then there was silence.
TBC"d lol what a cliffhanger………haha you all are going to hate me. I will have the next chapter up in like a day I just want to keep you all hanging for a little bit. I swear only a little bit! Please R&R
"Tristin……." Rory asks faintly after about five minutes of silence
