Here we are chapter 8 I am on a roll.
Randy caught the guard unaware, but he was quick. Randy swung the gun at the man but he ducked beneath it and rolled away. Mickie was busy trying to untie John who was able to pull his hands free allowing Mickie to help Cody. Randy was on the floor wrestling with the guard. Both having lost their guns in the struggle, they were now rolling around in the dirt trying to keep the other one down. Randy suddenly felt the guy on top of him move away, getting up he saw as John punched the guy in the side of the head and it levelled him. Mickie had move on to Beth as Cody went and picked up both discarded guns. "Where do you think Andrew is?" Cody asked as he handed one gun to Randy. "Who knows I bet he ran off when he heard the commotion." John said scanning the area but seeing nothing. "Let's get these guys down and get the hell out of here." John said then knowing that if they didn't make good their escape soon it might be too late. "Thank god, I can't believe how good it feels to be off that damm post." Beth said as Mickie released her feet and Beth stepped away form the wooden post that had held her prisoner for the last 24 hours. "Hey did you guys find the boat they were talking about?" Ted asked as Cody let him down off his post and rubbing his wrists he came over to where the rest of the group were standing. "Yeah but we did better than that." Mickie said smiling broadly, she was so glad that everyone was safe and they could get the hell off this island. "Oh yeah what did you do?" Melina said giving her friend a brief hug. "We stole the keys for it and it works, we are out of here guys." Mickie said and the rest of them couldn't quite believe it was over. "Come on let's not stick around too long, that guy is only out cold, and the one we left tied up by the boat may even have come too by now." Randy said leading the way into the jungle. He gave one gun to John who took up the rear, he carried the other and the one Mickie had taken when this all started was still in her hands.
"God I am so glad to be out of that damm sun." Maryse said as she could feel the drop in temperature as the sun went own and the shade from the trees enveloped them. "I know what you mean if he hadn't given us any water this morning then I don't think any of us could have made this walk." Cody said from beside her and Melina turned back to look at them. "Yeah thank god he was getting to much pleasure from watching us suffer." She said and Ted scoffed next to her. "Tell you if I find him before the police I am going to tie him to a poll and watch him cook." Melina was a little shocked at Ted, he was not normally an aggressive person, she would expect Randy or even John to say something like that, but not Ted this experience had changed all of them she supposed. Beth had been quite she was following Mickie as she weaved her way though the jungle, they seemed to know exactly where they were going, Beth didn't want the other to know how much she was suffering from the sun burn she had gotten that day, but it was making walking along still half naked very uncomfortable. Mickie smiled back at her but noticed the look on her face and frowned. "You ok Beth?" She whispered at her friend. "Yeah nothing a good cold bath won't sort out." Beth said conceding that she was sore but this was not the time to be wallowing in self pity. Mickie knew when to leave well enough alone and she turned to Randy. "I think these guys are weaker than we first thought, I don't think we can risk trying to find the pilots, we need to get out of here." Mickie said in a low voice hoping the others wouldn't here her. "Agreed." Randy said as he pushed his way though the last of the trees and they all stood on the edge of the cliff looking down at the inlet.
"Wow it's beautiful." Maryse said, Randy and Mickie looked, they had not really noticed before, so concerned were they of getting caught that they had not once taken in the view, and it truly was beautiful. The sun was just setting on the horizon giving the sea a purplish glow and the beach almost glowed in the dark because it was so white. "You think this is good wait until you see the boat." Mickie said taking the first step on to the path way down the cliff to the inlet. Randy followed her, then Beth, Maryse, Melina, Ted and Cody and bringing up the rear John with his rifle still raised. For him this all seemed too easy, he wasn't going to turn the opportunity down to escape, but he wasn't going to let his guard down either. As they transcended the steep but manageable cliff Randy was aware that the guard that they had tied up was probably still where they had left him. He was going to have to check though, because if he had managed to escape he could be a real threat, considering that they had not yet seen Andrew either. Finally reaching the beach he led them all over to where the boat was parked. "Wow now that's what I call leaving in style." Cody said walking part way up the jetty to get a better look at the cruiser. "I know pretty impressive isn't it." Mickie said sharing in their excitement. "This is almost like a dream." Melina said as she touched the side of the boat, as though it was going to disappear right from under her hand. Maryse and Ted came down next they walked along the jetty but Maryse was over whelmed by the situation. The lack of food and the exposure to the sun had finally gotten to her. She fell backwards, luckily Ted was there and he caught the blonde under the arm pits and laid her gently on the wooden floor. "oh God Maryse." He said trying to wake her up but she didn't respond. "Hold on there is water on board." Mickie said running up the steps and grabbing on of the canisters that she and Randy had stored there earlier. "Here." Mickie said passing Ted the water and he placed it at Maryse's mouth. Maryse felt the cool water touch her lips and she swallowed as ted slowly pored it. "I'm sorry." She said feeling slightly embarrassed as she sat up and looked at the concerned faces of her friends. "Just the heat you know." She said getting up slowly supported by Ted. "No worries honey, believe me I am ready for a good sit down too." Melina said coming over and giving Maryse a hug. "I have to check on something, you guys get on board." Randy said knowing that he couldn't put it off any longer he turned for the end of the jetty where it connected to the far end of the beach. "Wait Randy." Mickie called, she handed her gun to Ted who took it and passed it up to Cody while he climbed on board. "Mickie I can do this alone you don't have to come." Randy said not wanting to put her in any more danger than he had to. "Look we came together, we leave together remember." She said and Randy had to smile at her. "So there is no way I am letting you go off alone, not when you're the only one who can drive the boat as well." Mickie said giving him a playful poke in the ribs. "Ok ok you can come, but don't blame me if you get sand in your shoes." Randy said knowing that keeping the mood light was what they needed right now. What they found under the out cropping of rocks could change their plans entirely. If the guy was still there it was easy, leave him there, get in the boat and leave, but if he was gone they would have to try and find him, at least make sure he had not tampered with the boat in any way. Randy held his breath as they rounded the corner. Mickie had taken hold of his upper arm and he could tell she was worried too. Randy let out his breath as the guy sat up as they came round the corner. "Hey you can't leave me here." He called after them as the quickly turned on their heel and headed back for the boat. "That's where your wrong pall." Randy called back as he and Mickie ran back up the Jetty.
Randy followed Mickie up to the wheel house. He had made sure that everyone was comfortable. They had all chosen to sit on the leather sofa outside on the main deck. Even though they had been outside for 24 hours it was still preferable to sitting in the cramped living quarters. Ted had managed to find a box of crackers and two bars of candy. Now there was no stopping them, it was like pigs at the trough and all Mickie could do was smile at her friends. She was hungry too but she had to help Randy navigate at least for a little while. Randy started the engine to the cheers of everyone below. "Hey guys can some one unhook the mooring rope." Randy called down and John stood up and brought in the rope attaching them to the dock. "Aye Aye captain." John said mock salute as everyone laughed. Randy was glad they were all so happy. He supposed it was sheer relief not being locked up or tied up any more, but he knew that they were not free and clear just yet, not until some one found them or they found the main land. Easing the boat out he turned to Mickie. She had a small smile on her face as she looked out of the cabin window. The sun was casting a soft orange glow over her skin and although she was covered in dirt and her clothes were torn he didn't think he had ever seen a more beautiful sight in his life. Taking the boat in to open water Randy pushed the throttle up accelerating out of the inlet and into the open Atlantic. "Whooo." Cody called as he felt the engine come to life and power them away from the Island. "Goodbye cruel place." Ted called and actually waved at the Island much to the others amusement. The wrestlers settled down as Randy took them away from the hell they had been living in the last three days, but amongst all the noise and excitement no one heard the door open.
Ok there it is chapter 8 I realised this is a kind of sort one but lots happens in the next chapter so I will make up for it. As always please review
