THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEWS! AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO: BELLA0110, KJcupcake2nd and Iliveferaliss for giving me a kick I needed to start writing this story again:):):):):):)
" Do you have any idea how much I want to bawl out on you right now? " Myles asked rhetorically entering Lucy's room 15 minutes after the doctor's call. " Do you have idea how incredibly lucky you are to end up only with broken leg and concussion! It could be far worse then that! You could have been killed!"
" OK, I get it, there is no need for yelling. And you should know that it's rude to scream at the injured person who is lying in the hospital bed. " Lucy retorted " and speaking about bed, Myles you look horrible, what happened? "
"What happened?" Myles asked mockingly " she's asking what happened? Seriously?"
"Myles, I know that following those guys was a stupid idea, you don't have to shout " Lucy stated scowling " I'm sure that Sue and Tara had already explain that we had acted on an impulse"
Myles frowned. Those idiots hadn't told her?
" Lucy, Sue and Tara are missing " he explained calmly
"What? " now it was her turn to shout "What do you mean by missing? How could they be missing? "Lucy franticly started to get up and Myles quickly went up closer in order to stop her.
"You have a concussion, no sudden moves " he scowled her
"Myles, what happened? "she asked obediently lying down
"We believe that Sue and Tara hid themselves in one of the trucks you watched. Today is Monday , so they're missing for exactly two days. We're observing Haley's man in hope that they would lead us to them. Don't worry we will find them "
" CA 9862, MA 176 - the last number is 6 or 8 I don't remember, CA 23 and then something like 53 or 35 and the last was MA 1193 " Lucy recited making an effort to recall everything that could possibly be helpful.
"What?" Myles asked surprised
"There were 4 trucks and I just gave you 4 number plates " Lucy explained and seeing his face added with crocked smile " I work for FBI, you know "
"Yes I know " Myles chuckled " I will pass it on right away. Excellent work Miss Dotson "
"Myles " Lucy caught his hand "find them "
"Yes Ma'am"
"Strange place for first meeting, don't you think? Funny, I don't remember inviting you" Cal stated
Sue quickly assessed her chances and then made a decision. The less Cal knew about her the better chances she would have to escape. Sue, raising both hands up started using the sign language.
"I am deaf " she said using both her palms and her voice "I don't understand what you're saying "
Cal leered at her. He had never heard such an excuse before. Could she really believe that he would fall on a con like that? Cal brutally caught Sue's arm and dragged her to himself baring his teeth in the grimace of fury.
"Deaf, huh? " he squeezed her arm with his left hand and used the right one to release the safety on his gun " so it shouldn't bother you" without hesitation he fired centimeters from her left ear. For every other person such noise would have caused horrible headache and possibly seriously damaged the hearing, but the girl in his arms looked at him completely not moved with it.
"I don't understand " she repeated and this time Cal believed her. She was deaf, it wasn't a con.
They had been lead by a deaf women! Haley would love it!
" What are you doing here? How did you get in here? " he asked releasing her arm.
Sue understood his questions perfectly but decided to play along "I don't understand, I'm deaf "
" I don't have time for this" Cal once more rose his gun " you shouldn't be here "
Sue stared directly into the gun aimed at her. She was petrified. Were was Tara? Did she managed to escape?
" Please" she whispered " I know nothing "
" Pretty little thing you have here, Cal " fourth of the men, the one which name they hadn't gotten before, spoke emerging from the corridor
"Where is the other one? " Cal barked" I ordered you to catch her!"
" I left her for Hal and Jay. She went into the chute, and they have experience in digging around in trash" the man shrugged.
Sue sensed that there was something wrong with him. He didn't even appear to be moved by the fact that he angered his boss.
" Yes, very pretty " the man walked around frightened girl
Sue flinched. They looked at her as if she was a piece of meat, rather than a living being.
" Leave it Mick, we don't have time" Lewowski remarked " beside she is a damaged good, she is deaf "
" Really? " Mick lowered his face and put it next to Sue's " were you ever with the real man, baby?Did you ever feel good, hmm?" he asked
Sue bitted her lips to stop herself from screaming. At the moment her ability of the lipreading was an only advantage she had over thugs. She couldn't lose it.
Mick grasped the back of her neck and pulled her to him " She is mine " he announced.
Cal shook his head disgruntled and lowered his weapon . "You and your women. Don't you ever get bored with them?"
" We all have a hobby " Mick smirked
Tara counted passing seconds fixing her eyes on the turning door handle. With a bit of luck the entering man wouldn't expect the attack. An attack by surprise was the only chance she had. She could hear their voices. She had been chased by three men , but now she could only hear two.
The door opened with the quiet crack and Tara breathed. The entering man made the mistake of the novice- he outstretched his arms and hands with the weapon too far from his body. Typical mistake for someone who was too self-confident. Tara without second thought attacked the stretched out arm with the metal tube. Her effort was rewarded by a cry of pain and the sound of the bone being broken . The gun slipped out from Jay's fingers and hit the floor, while the owner fell on his knees moaning in pain and cradling the broken arm to his chest.
" That bitch broke my arm" he yelled but Hal, who was standing behind him ignored him, his eyes focused on moving Tara who was reaching for Jay's weapon.
She almost had it when she heard and angry shout.
"Not so fast bitch!"
Hal ran into her and sent them both struggling on the floor among garbage. Tara, in spite of her courage and determination in the hand-to-hand combat on the floor couldn't match the bigger and heavier man so it took him less then a minute to have her nailed to the floor. Hal in order to keep her down sat across her belly and clenched his hands around her throat .
"You fucking bitch " he hissed irritated leaning over her.
She actually had managed to hurt him and now his blood was dropping from his face on hers making him even more angry.
" You have it coming!" he brutally shook her body his hands tightening around her neck.
'Think Tara, think. Sue's life depends on you! ' Tara ordered her panicked mind.
She stopped scratching assaulting her hands seeing that it didn't affect her attacker. Instead of that she dipped her hand in garbage surrounding her looking for her lost weapon
'I won't die here, I won't die here' she repeated clenching her fingers around the piece of metal which she had dropped after hurting Jay.
With the outcry of pure rage, she throw up her right arm and hit unprepared Hal on the side of his head.
A sickening sound of metal making contact with the body let her her know that her attack was successful
Pressure on her neck eased off and the man fell on her fully paralyzed. She was immobilized under his heavy and unmoving coughed trying to catch her breath and moved her left hand still trapped under Hal's chest trying to push him off herself.
„ You killed him!" Jay aimed the gun, which he had retrieved during the fight, at her „ YOU KILLED HIM! "
A single shot reverberated with echo in the warehouse
REVIEW? PLEASE?
