Lexi looked around at her surroundings as she ran, praying that she could find something help her in this desperate moment. She suddenly spotted just what she needed though and quickly sped up and went to the escalator.

Swat kept his eye on Lexi as he chased after her while a confused expression crossed his face. Why was she running up the down escalator? She wouldn't get anywhere very fast that way, he quickly decided to be extremely careful. Lexi obviously had a plan and he wasn't about to fall for it.

Lexi looked back and saw that Swat wasn't very far behind and she wasn't even half way up the escalator. She quickly put her plan into action as Swat started running up the up escalator so he could head her off. She quickly turned and ran down the escalator causing Swat to slide down the railing of it while Lexi quickly went to the sports store.

She pressed the button on the wall that caused the bars to come down just before Swat could enter it. "Should've thought that one through huh?" he taunted with a smirk causing Lexi to look at him with confusion. "I may not be able to get you in there but you're trapped now."

"Oh man… I guess you're right. I should've thought that through a bit more," Lexi said sadly, though she smiling like mad on the inside. "Guess I'm your prisoner now."

"You got that right," Swat smirked. "Now I'm going to go Veck, don't go anywhere."

"Like I could," Lexi said with the same sad expression.

Swat smirked as he left her 'trapped' in the sporting goods store. As soon as Lexi was sure that Swat was out of hearing range she re-opened the gate and headed towards the nearest shop that could help her only to find Swat heading her off. "You didn't think I was that stupid did you?" he smirked as he stepped towards her.

She backed away as she prayed for a way to get away and make it so he was out of her way. "S-stay back!" she warned as she found herself backed against one of the safety rails.

Swat smirked as he pushed himself against her and grabbed her face, causing a pang of fear to fill her. "You know, I could just push you over this ledge and say you fell. After all, there's no guarantee that you'd die," he said as he lifted her up. "But you're so pretty, it'd be a shame to mess that up before someone got one last go at you."

Lexi's eyes widened as she began to struggle while Swat dragged her into a men's clothing store and into a changing room, grabbing a few belts along the way. "Get away from me!" she cried as she was pushed into the changing room.

Swat smirked as he locked the door and pulled one of the two belts in such a way that it made a harsh snapping sound before he began to tie her arms with the one. "Stop struggling sweets," he smirked. "It won't do you any good and it'll just make this harder then it'll have to be for you."

Lexi began to cry and scream for help, hoping Veck and his one other lacky wouldn't be cruel enough to let this happen. "Stop! Please stop! You don't have to do this!" she cried as Swat threw her into.

"I know I don't HAVE to sweets, I want to," he said with the cruelest smirk Lexi had seen all night. "And besides, you know you're gonna love it. Think of it as me doing you the biggest favor I could possibly do before your life ends."

He then bent down and began to tie her ankles together with the other belt. "No! Get away from me!" she cried kicking him in the chest.

He let out, what sounded like, a cross between a groan and a chuckle before looking up with a smirk while waving the belt tauntingly. "Feisty… I like it!" Tears streamed down Lexi's face as she kicked out again, this time making contact with Swat's face and hearing a loud crunch. A steady flow of blood began to flow down his face as he tenderly touched his nose and yelled out in pain. "You broke my nose! That's a real turn off, you know that sweets?" His voice was filled with rage as he roughly tied her ankles and threw her over his shoulder. "What you say we go back to that ledge now?"

"No! Please let me go!" she cried as he took her to the ledge.

"Oh… don't worry, I will," he said cruelly as he held her out over the edge. "Anything you wanna say before you get some real damage done to you?"

(Gah! Sorry it took so long to update! I've just been so busy lately! Now I just need to figure out what I can do in the next chapter. I love writing characters like Swat for some reason. Jerks, though Swat I feel is way over the jerk status, are really fun to write for some odd reason. Am I evil for haveing such a fun time writing this chapter? I really hope I'm not!)
