Ella watched the orange sky outside, the most alert she'd been in two years, until she saw what she knew was coming and her heart sank. Three spinners were headed their way. Ella sighed as she took a deep breath to get into fight mode and turned to go to the bar.
When she walked in, Deckard looked up and knew from her face that nothing they could have done would stop the people from coming.
"We need to leave," Deckard stated as he began walking down the stairs behind the bar, followed by Joe and Ella.
As they made their way down to the floor below where an emergency vehicle was awaiting them, Joe looked to the left and saw a shot coming straight for them, "Get down!" he yelled.
The three jumped back but didn't miss the entirety of the blast as they all crashed down to the ground. Ella was awake but she couldn't move as she watched another ship land and a two men and a woman came out.
The men grabbed Deckard as the woman saw him, "We've been looking for you," she said.
Ella took a deep breath as she forced herself to her feet and ran for the men just as Deckard woke and began fighting. He had the men so Ella went after the woman.
"You're going to have to go through me to get him," Ella said as she launched a high kick at the woman's face making contact causing the woman's lips to curl into a smile as Ella heard Joe start to get up behind her.
"You're one of us," she said, "I'm Luv and I'm sure Mr. Wallace will be glad to have you back as well," she added as she pulled out a long whip from her pocket.
Ella couldn't dodge it quickly enough as it made contact with her shoulder and sent a shock through her system that caused her to begin to fall and the world to fade around her. The last things she saw were Deckard being knocked out and Luv beginning a fight with Joe.
Ella woke in pain and opened her eyes slowly to find herself in a dimly lit room, in a chair. She blinked to strengthen her eyes and began to look around. She saw Deckard coming to in a seat across from her.
She tried to get up to reach out to him but the pain in her body was too much as she gasped in pain causing Deckard to fully wake. When he saw her, his temper flared, "What did they do to you? Is the baby ok?"
"Sh," Ella replied as she used her strength to reject his hand reaching for her abdomen, "These people can not know and I don't know but I hope so. I think she just paralyzed me temporarily. How are you? They didn't bring Joe as far as I can tell."
Deckard looked around and saw that they were on a platform surrounded by water but before he could respond, another voice joined the two.
"We've been looking for you Mr. Deckard and the return of one of my angels is an added bonus," a man with long hair and frightening eyes said as he appeared followed by Luv. "Now, can you help me find your child? If you do, I can reward you handsomely," he offered before he turned his gaze to Ella just for a moment.
"There's nothing you can give me to get that information," Deckard spat back, "I don't even know myself so you're wasting your time."
"Oh, Mr. Deckard," the man said in a soft tone as he placed his hand on Deckard's shoulder, "You must know something. Can she help?" he asked as Ella turned to see a woman walking toward them.
Deckard stared as he stood to look at the approaching him. The man spoke again, "I can give you Rachel back and all you have to do is help me."
Ella felt a sting in her heart as she looked Deckard interacting with the replicant made to look like his first love but suddenly Deckard rejected the woman, "Her eyes were green."
Luv moved forward as Deckard turned away and looked at Ella, his eyes warming as he saw her but was interrupted as Luv put a bullet through the new Rachel's temple.
"I suppose we won't be needing her," Luv announced as she stepped back.
The man moved forward and used a small device to release Ella from her pain as he pulled her up to stand before him, "Does this one mean anything to you? She's another one of my failures," he said as he placed his hand on her lower abdomen, "Barren within but perhaps if I let her stay with you then you'll give me what I want," he looked back at Deckard whose eyes were lit with flames at the sight of the man's hand on her stomach.
"I can't help you because I don't know anything but I guarantee you don't want to harm her," Deckard replied as his muscles tensed, ready to attack.
Ella gave Deckard a warning glance as the man looked at her more curiously, "What value could this missing angel have to me? Perhaps you've told her and if she watches me torture you then she'll give it up. Luv," he turned his attention to her, "Take them to the island. We'll get results from our friends there."
Luv nodded as the man disappeared, "You two will not like your new friends but I happen to love them," she said as she used a button on in hand to cuff Ella and Deckard, "Come, come."
Deckard looked at Ella, "I'm sorry," he mouthed.
She returned his glance with a strong expression as she mouthed, "We will get out of this."
Luv brought them to a prisoner plane and loaded them in, attaching their handcuffs to another set bolted to the floor, "I wouldn't want either of you to get any ideas," she said with a smile, "Especially you," she said to Ella, "You're spunky."
