Yey! I love reviews, hahaha. Here's the next chapter ^^ Enjoy! Now I really have to get to bed. Seriously, why is it easier to write between 1-4 am than it is during the day? I don't think I'll ever figure that out ^^,


Chapter 6.

Shooting

Kris hadn't gotten any sleep during the night. She had heard a woman scream in the room next door, and Kris just guessed that she was having hard contractions. Kris wanted to go out and help her, but the door was locked, there was no way she could get out. There was a small window in the room, but it was high up, and even if she didn't carry a huge stomach, she still wouldn't be able to even get her head through it.

The frequent screams, moans and groans had gone on all night, but when the morning rose they suddenly stopped. Kris could hear a baby cry through the thin walls, and Kris sighed with relieve for a minute – the baby had been born. The woman had made it through the delivery. Seconds later she heard how the door to that room was opened and people stormed inside. The woman began screaming, the baby began screaming, and the men began screaming. Kris began to cry when she could hear how the mother was separated from her baby, her scream of agony and pain was indescribable. Kris put her hands towards her ears, she didn't want to hear this. She didn't need to listen to it for long, only seconds later the screams stopped suddenly, after a loud crash had been heard. It then sounded like the woman was dragged out of the room, and Kris then heard two cars drive off outside.

Kris sat down on the bed in her room, crying and shaking hysterically. She didn't want to go the same way. She didn't want to deliver her baby here, by herself, without painkilling, without medical people or without Tommy and Kelly by her side. She didn't want her baby to be taken away from her and be send off to God knows where, and she didn't want to be killed.

Kris took a deep breath and brushed away some tears, knowing it was pointless – new ones just kept coming. She looked around in the room, again. A small room, with one door. There was a bed up by one of the walls, and there was a shelf filled with towels and different hospital things. Kris remembered that Margaret Cole had told her that one of the guys were a doctor, and Kris wondered if he had brought this things from the hospital. There was also a sink with a faucet in the room, and a big garbage can was standing under the sink. Kris had looked through the shelf, trying to find something to pick the lock with, but she hadn't found anything. She did find nightgowns, bathrobes and things like that. There were also machines up the wall, and a drawer filled with knives, scissors and scalpels. Kris was really feeling uneasy in this room, and she decided to just sit down on the bed and try to breathe normally. She needed to stay calm, she didn't want to cause herself to go into labor due to stress. She laid down towards the pillows and put her hands on her stomach, closed her eyes and thought of Tommy and Kelly, praying that they would find her in time.


"Do you think it's her?" Tommy whispered.

Zeke sat quiet, but Tommy could see that his knuckles were getting white from holding onto the steering wheel so hard.

"I hope not."

"It can't be, right?" Kelly asked from the backseat. "I mean, they wouldn't kill her before she had delivered her baby and she couldn't have delivered it so fast."

"Unless they…"

No one in the car could say it, but they were all thinking the same. Unless she put up a fight and they carved the baby out. In that case she could definitely be dead by now.

Tommy wasn't breathing as they pulled up to the scene. Kelly wasn't really breathing either. They were both crying, trying to keep hope up that it's not Kris who's lying dead in the woods, but what if it were? The drive there had seemed to take forever, and the closer they had gotten the more both Kelly and Tommy began thinking it was stupid to have come down here. What if it was Kris and they caught a look of her? That scene would then forever get stuck in their minds. Zeke stopped the car and looked over at Tommy and Kelly.

"You stay here, I'll go and check."

Kelly and Tommy nodded as Zeke walked out of the car. He waved for the others to stay in their cars as he walked away towards the cops that had found the body.

It seemed to take way too long before Zeke finally returned. Kelly and Tommy had stepped out of their car just like the others, and now they were all holding hands, supporting each other. Zeke looked up at the group, and smiled.

"It's not Kris." Zeke said to the group that all exhaled loudly.


Kelly, Sandra, Melissa and Janet were all in Sandra's car, on their way to Jonathan Martin, whom the van was registered too. The woman in the woods had been killed the same way, blunt force trauma to the head. She had delivered her kid this morning, the natural way. Blonde, blue eyes. Just like the others. Kelly had been so relieved when Zeke said it wasn't Kris, but the relief only lasted for a second. Kris was still missing, she was still out there somewhere, and the next body that showed up was probably her if they didn't do everything they could to prevent it.

Kelly hardly noticed when Sandra stopped the car on the street outside an apartment building. When Janet opened Kelly's side door, Kelly finally looked up.

"Oh." She sighed, unbuckled her seatbelt and walked out of the car. The four women walked inside the building, looked for the man's floor and then took the elevator upstairs.


"They are getting onto us. Those angels, they are not someone to joke around with." The clown said as he held onto the steering wheel of a blue ford.

"Maybe it's time we begin to eliminate them. Or at least give them something else to think about." The gorilla suggested, not liking that the four women had walked into his building. He had planned on changing his license plate to a phony one, but had forgotten about it when other things were on his mind. He cursed under his breath as he saw the light being turned on inside his apartment. He knew they wouldn't find anything there, it was an apartment he owned just to get suspicions off – he never stayed there.

"Sounds like a good idea." The skeleton agreed. "Let me do it. Let's take out that brunette-woman first, she seems to be the leader."

The skeleton pulled up a gun from his bag and loaded and unsecured it, pulled down the window to the car, and then waited for the angels to come back on the street.


"Nothing. This apartment is clean." Sandra said, putting a picture frame of a dog down on the table.

"It's too clean." Melissa said. "It's like they knew we were coming."

"Maybe they did." Kelly sighed.

"Well, where not getting anything here. Let's get back to the office and see if the others got anything." Janet said, and the others nodded in agreement. They were walking down the stairs, out of the building, when Melissa suddenly sprung into action.

"Kelly watch it!" She yelled, and grabbed Kelly by the shoulders and tossed both herself and Kelly down behind a car. Janet and Sandra tossed themselves down to, landing behind another car. Same second they fell, several gunshots were heard swishing through the air. Janet and Sandra saw the car that was firing at them, but since they also had shot the tires of Sandra's car, they would never be able to catch them. Instead they hurried over to Melissa and Kelly. Kelly was picking herself up from the ground, using the car she was next to as leverage. Second she got up into sitting position she noticed Melissa wasn't trying to get up, and she quickly fell down on her knees next to her.

"Melissa? Melissa?!" Kelly said scared as she rolled her over. She didn't see anything wrong at first, and she quickly unzipped Melissa's jacket to see if she found any bullet wound. What she did find was a Kevlar vest.

"Melissa? Have you been hit?"

Melissa tried to talk, but choke on the word, closing her eyes hard in pain.

"Where are you hit?" Kelly asked, searching for a wound. Melissa didn't answer, she rolled her eyes back into her head and began coughing blood, in the same time as Sandra and Janet came running, both of them pale white.

"Oh my God, Melissa!" Sandra said, throwing herself down next to them.

Janet turned in the middle of her move and ran to the car to call an ambulance. Kelly was still searching for the wound, and suddenly she spotted it. Blood was seeping out by her armpit, and Kelly realized that the bullet must have slipped in underneath the Kevlar vest when Melissa pulled up her hands to shove Kelly. The bullet wound was located under the vest. The vest sat tight, and it probably put pressure on the wound already. That was the good thing. The bad thing was that Melissa couldn't breathe, and she was coughing up dark blood. Kelly put her hand in under the vest, trying to locate the wound, but it was too tight. Kelly sighed and pressed down the vest instead, making Melissa moan loudly.

"Did you see who shot?" Kelly asked.

"Yeah. A skeleton." Sandra said, trying to keep her voice steady. "But we couldn't go after, they blew my tires. We got the license plate though."

"Good, don't forget it."

"I don't think I'll ever will." Sandra said, keeping her hand on Melissa's forehead, turning her attention back to her. "Hey, Mel, can you hear me? You need to stay with us, okay? You'll be okay." Sandra said, trying to convince herself as tears began falling from her eyes, looking at her friend that had stopped coughing, and was now slipping into shock.


A minute later, which if you ask the angels took about an hour, paramedics pulled up. The angels moved out of the way and observed the paramedics that worked fast, and it didn't take long before Melissa, who was now unconscious and intubated, was loaded into the ambulance. Sandra looked worried at Kelly and Janet before she climbed in next to her, grabbing a hold of Melissa's hand.

"You go too. I'll talk to the police and meet you at the hospital later." Kelly said, putting her hand on Janet's back. Janet nodded slightly and got into the ambulance without a sound, and Kelly closed the doors of it, in the same time as a patrol car arrived to the scene.


I promised you drama in this story, right? Well, of course there's more to come too ^^ Reeeeeeeeeview!
