Well, well, well.
Hello! So nice to see you (I can't see you but whatever) again!
So to celebrate, I decided to write a chapter since I haven't done that in a loooooonng time. I'm gonna try to upload more often from now on since I got a MacbookPro from my dad on my confirmation! :D
Well, I hope you like it.
Chapter 8.
The silence was killing her.
Ever since the phone call with the creep ended, nobody had said anything. She couldn't even make eye contact with anyone, so she choose to just stare at the phone in her hand. Her hands were shaking and she had a headache. She could feel everyone's eyes on her and it was making her stomach turn. Puck had been silence the whole time. And when he's silence for more then 5 minutes, it's not good.
"Rachel"
How Puck's voice sounded made Rachel turn her head immediately. He sounded like he was about to cry. And Puck never cried.
"Please tell me that you did not just make a deal with a killer."
"I can't...because I just did."
And then there was silence. But not for to long, because soon you could hear sobs.
And they were not coming from Rachel.
"You better get alive from this, or-"
"DON'T finish that sentence Noah, or I swear to god I will hit you!"
She couldn't feel her legs anymore so she let herself slide down the wall. With her knees up to her chest and her head against the wall, she looked at Puck with tears in her eyes.
"You know what he's capable of! It's the same son of a bitch that killed my dad and we are talking about a little girls life here! I am not just going to stand by and wait until he kills her Noah, she's to young to die!"
She knew screaming wasn't going to help but... she just couldn't help it. She didn't want to seem weak and cry in front of anyone, so she hid her face in her knees and sobbed. When she felt a hand on her shoulder she looked up at Puck and whispered,
"I just.. I-I can't let her die Noah. I can't let her die because of me. I can't let her die!"
When she felt to strong arms wrap around her, she buried her head in his chest and cried. She felt him tighten his arms around her, his shoulders shaking from sobs.
Finn watched the scene in front of him and he realized how much Rachel was really risking for his daughter. She was putting her life on the line. And how it was affecting Puck was even harder to see.
This was so fucked up.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
The next morning Puck didn't show up for work. Rachel however was there before everyone else. She hadn't been able to sleep, so she went to work at 3 and had been there since, finishing some paperwork.
When Finn showed up, Rachel was sitting Indian-style on her desk, with a pen in between her teeth and papers all around her. Finn walked closer to check on her when he noticed how tired she really looked. She had dark bags under her eyes, her hair was up in a messy bun and her eyes were red from the lack of sleep.
"Rachel... Are you okay?"
"Hmm.. Yup, I'm fine. Just finishing some paperwork."
He sat on her chair and just looked at her for a minute. He was sure he didn't look any better then she did, but come on! She was wearing sweatpants for work!
"Any news on Nikki?"
That made her look up from the papers. She gave Finn one of those 'are-you-kidding-me' looks and then straightened her back and looked at Finn again.
"You really think I wouldn't had called you if I had heard anything?"
When he didn't answer, she smiled a little bit.
"Exactly"
Standing up, he stretched his arms up in the air and then walked over to his desk to look at some paperwork.
"Rachel! Phone call on line one."
Rachel nodded and picked up the desk phone.
"Rachel Berry speaking"
"So nice to hear your voice again"
She looked around to check if anyone was watching her. When she saw no one she responded in a harsh whisper.
"You've got a real nerve calling the office"
"No harm done as long as you don't tell"
"What the hell do you want?"
"You"
"You can't have me. I still have some stuff to take care of"
"Just know that I have problem waiting. Don't be surprised if that little girl is dead by the time you get here"
"You don't touch her! I-I... I can get there tonight"
"Rachel? You ok?"
She looked at Finn, which had obviously seen how pale she was.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine"
He nodded and turned back to the papers. When Rachel was sure he wasn't watching her, she turned back to the voice on the phone.
"Where do you want to meet?"
"On the corner, 86th street. 7 o'clock. No cops or the little girl is dead"
"No cops. Got it."
"Don't be late"
Rachel didn't have time to respond since the dial tone sounded on the phone. She slowly put the phone back and tried not to think of the phone call for the rest of the day.
She was sent home at four o'clock.

She was shaking.
Well, mostly because of the cold but also because it was 18:55.
Only five more minutes until she would see her father's killer.
She had sneaked out of her and Puck's apartment at 18:30 since he had been sleeping. He would've never let her leave if he knew what she was about to do.
18:58
She thought of Finn. About how happy he would be when Nikki would be save in her arms. She could picture him picking her up and twirling her around, holding on to her tight like she was going to slip away from him.
18:59
A white van pulled over right in front of her.
She couldn't move.
And then the side door opened.
"Hello Rachel"
She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Brody?"
20:00
The last thing she saw was the ugly smirk that came to his face.
And then everything went black.
Well.. that's it!
