Stolen Chances
Chapter Ten: Capture
Jason and Spinelli made there way to the first opening. They both stopped and looked around. Spinelli looked down to this computer then to Jason.
"I think we need to go this way." Spinelli pointed to the left, but as he was pointing out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of something.
Spinelli shook his head looking in that direction. Jason turned eying Spinelli as he still had his finger pointed but his head was turned the other direction.
"What is it Spinelli? And put your finger down. Jeez."
"Uh ..Oh..Sorry." Spinelli shook his head lowering his finger. " I Thought I just caught a glimpse of something."
"Did it look important?"
"Not sure, The Jackal couldn't make out if it was human related or not."
"Well why don't we go find out." Jason said pulling spinelli in the same direction as him.
"Stone Cold, I have a bad feeling about this."
"It's going to be okay. Jeez Spine.."
"STONE COLD! WATCH OUT! BEHIND YOU!"
Too late Jason had been knocked in the back of the head by Diego who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Well...Well..Well..Who do we have here? The Good Ol' Jackal himself."
"What have you done with my wife?"
"Oh you mean that snobby backstabbing bitch..oh well let's just say she's played the game and deed i say she very much lost." Diego laughed.
"You Son of a bitch! You will pay for killing my wife."
Spinelli lunges at him taking a swing. Diego moves left as spinelli falls to the ground. Diego laughs as he hovers over Spinelli
"Did you actually think you were going to try and kill me...your nothing..vapor..Just another geeky substance gone from this earth."
Spinelli kicked him in between the legs watching him fall over to the ground. Spinelli jumped on top of him beating him with his left fist then with his right. The look on his face would send cold chills down anyone's body but Spinelli didn't care. At that moment he felt like he had lost everything in his life and the man before him was going to pay for what he had done. "I will make you pay for killing my Maxie!" Spinelli keep hitting and hitting, his own knuckles being sprayed with Diego and his own blood. Jason woke up, adjusting his eyes he could tell spinelli was doing something but wasn't just what he was doing. He tried to stand but couldn't. His head started to spin, he grabbed it sitting back down. Jason looked over realizing there was a drop off. He seen something laying down on the edge.
"Spinelli! Over Here Now!"
Spinelli didn't listen he just kept beating the life out of Diego.
"SPINELLI!"
"WHAT?"
"Come Here! I think Maxie is down below."
"Wha?"
Spinelli looked up dropping Diego's lifeless head to the ground standing up he noticed there was a drop off. He walked over looking over the edge. He almost fell over when he spotted Maxie's still body laying there, no movement at all. Frantically he wanted to be superman and fly down there and swoop her up in his arms and fly her away to safety, but he knew that wasn't possible.He ran back over to Jason.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah..Yeah..I'll be fine. Was that Maxie down there?"
"Yeah, and Stone Cold, I don't know if she's alive or not, I can't tell."
"Well we have to get back to Georgie and contact Mac so he can get in here and get her out."
"But Stone..Cold..I don't want her to die. We need to save her now."
"Spinelli, I am sorry. There isn't anything we can do. We don't have a harness or a rope to get down that far below to get to her.And if we did one of us would have to go down while the other stayed up here and held on the rope. I for one can't see straight to do either and I wouldn't risk your life to try and do it either."
Spinelli sighs " Alright but we need to hurry."
Spinelli and Jason both looked to Diego who was laying there out cold.
"What about him?"
"We take him with us."
Spinelli helped Jason up as Jason walks over to Diego grabbing him and throwing his lifeless body over his shoulder. They walk out of the tunnels and back to Georgie.
Georgie was getting worried. It had been nearly two and a half hours and no sign of Jason nor Spinelli. Georgie began walking back and forth biting her nails worried sick that something had happened to either one of them. As she was walking back she spotted the two walking out of the tunnels. Not paying attention to the fact that they still didn't have her sister she ran up to Spinelli throwing her arms around him.
"God am I glad to know your alright."
"Eh. The Jackal is always alright. Abit bruised and banged up but I'll manage."
Spinelli wrapped his arms around her waist hugging her back. Georgie pulled away looking to Jason who was carrying Diego on his shoulder.
"Is that?.."
"Yes..It's Diego. We need to get him to a hideout before he wakes up so I can tie him up."
"What about Maxie? She's still down there!"
"All we can do now is call Mac and tell him and have him and the squad team come down here to rescue her."
"I'll get the car Jason."
"I'm not going! I refuse to go!"
Georgie and Jason both turned to look at him with a confused look.
"Spinelli, Listen..What are you going to do? You end up injuring yourselves then you will be no good to Maxie.So your best bet is to come with me and we'll go call Mac."
"NO! I have left her once, I am not leaving her a second time, not when she..they need me.There has got to be so way to get down to her."
Jason sighs "Fine Spinelli, Stay here do what you can. I'll be back in about an hour, I'll bring some rope and other things also."
Georgie hugs Spinelli "Be Careful!"
Spinelli smiled softly "I will."
Spinelli watched as Jason and Georgie got into the car and drove away. He lied to them. He had no earthly idea how he was going to attempt to save the woman that he loves, but he did know one thing he knew he would go to the ends of the earth for her and if it meant dying to save her life he would do it.

I hope all of you are enjoying this dramatic story so far. I am hoping to add some fluff maybe after next chapter.
