OH MY GOODNESS I JUST WROTE A REALLY LONG CHAPTER AND WHEN I WENT TO SAVE IT THE COMPUTER TOLD ME I NEEDED TO LOG IN AGAIN AND ONCE I DID IT WAS ERASED! I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. Anyways... here is (for the second time... grrr...) chapter 10
The tension in the air was thick. Clayton shoved Samantha forward, causing her to stumble forwards into Erik. The temporary distraction was all Jack needed to act. He whirled around, smashing his fists into Clayton's mouth and stomach.
Once she regained her composure, Samantha followed Jack's lead, punching Erik in the gut and kicking him between the knees. Erik gasped and bent over, giving Samantha the opportunity to slam her knee into his ribs. Jack received a hit to the face, causing him to angrily retaliate. Jack punched Clayton in the face, a hit hard enough to disorient Clayton long enough for Jack to tackle him to the ground.
On the other side of the room, Samantha reached for Erik's gun. Erik, however, was faster and as quickly as the fight had begun, it was over.
Breathing heavily, Erik spoke, "That was a mistake."
Jack tried to grab Clayton's gun when a shot rang out, causing him to freeze in place.
"Get off of him, or I will kill you," Erik warned icily.
Jack, once again, placed his hands over his head and backed away from Clayton. Clayton then stood up, wiping blood from his face and dutifully aiming his gun at Jack's head. Erik kept a firm hold on Samantha's right arm, making her bite her lip.
Jack watched Erik's face for any sign of guilt, but all he saw was anger. When Erik spoke, his voice shook with rage, "You turned out to be more trouble then you're worth. Clayton..." Erik nodded.
Clayton winked at Erik before slamming the butt of his gun into Jack's head, causing Jack to immediately loose consciousness.
Sam cried out, but before Erik could give her the same treatment, she wriggled out of his grasp, snatching the gun out of Erik's hands. She held on to it tightly, her knuckles turning white. Clayton, unsure of what to do, held onto Jack's limp body and waited for a signal from Erik.
"Clayton, put the gun down, now," Samantha said coldly.
Clayton shook his head, and Samantha began to wonder how she was going to get herself and Jack out of there alive. With Clayton on the one side of her and Erik on the other, it was physically impossible to do anything. Against her better judgement, Samantha turned her back to Erik and approached Clayton in order to disarm him and keep Jack safe. Erik, however, immediately took the moment to violently hit Samantha in the back of the head with a vase he had picked up from a side table.
With glass shattering on the floor, Erik and Clayton found themselves alone with two unconscious FBI agents.
"Let's move," Erik commanded.
Ok so my fight scene was much better when I wrote it the first time. Curse the computer. AND I know that this was more Sam-centered but don't worry, I'll get to Jack soon enough ;)
Please review! I love reading what you have to say :)
