Expect the Unexpected
Chapter 11
Santana didn't know if she did the right thing, but at the moment it seemed like the proper thing to do. There was no one else she could have told, Rachel was the only one Santana could tell. Rachel was smart, book smart. She wouldn't let this type of thing intimidate her. Instead she would try to beat it; she would try and help Santana fix this whole mess.
The two women were still sitting in Santana's office trying to figure out what their next step should be. Once Santana had told Rachel everything, the tiny brunette put her feelings aside and decided she would do her best to help Santana. Sure, it did scare Rachel that this was happening to Santana, but she has heard of this happening before. Spending all those late nights watching the local new shows finally did Rachel some good.
Rachel looked down at the paper she had written notes on and read them over once again. Everything Santana had told her she would write down, wanting to get a clear image of what exactly was going on.
'' So his real name is Noah, but he goes by Puck, right?'' Santana nodded her head. She hadn't spoken a word since telling Rachel everything; she just couldn't believe this was happening. Instead she focused her attention on what Rachel was writing down on a piece of paper. Santana was glad Rachel was taking the lead on this; she seemed to know what she was doing.
'' Do you know where he is now?'' Rachel asked, taking the time glance up at Santana. As Rachel made eye contact with Santana her stomach automatically dropped. She had never seen Santana like this before, instead of the confident, sexy way she usually carries herself she now looked scared, petrified for her own life and also unstable. Rachel didn't like it; nobody should ever look the way she did.
'' He ran off after the last incident, I haven't heard or seen him since.'' Santana sighed. She couldn't believe she was in this mess, she didn't think this was going to be in her future, life does things in the cruelest ways.
Rachel stood up from one of Santana's office chairs and walked over to the other girl who was sitting on the edge of her desk. She sat down next to her and couldn't believe she was about to say what was on her mind, but it would be for the best, and that's all Rachel wanted.
'' Did you tell Brittany about any of this?'' As soon as Rachel mentioned Brittany, Santana felt the tears running down her cheeks. She wished she hadn't left Brittany like she did that morning, but it was for the best, everything Santana was doing was for the best for Brittany.
'' N-no, I don't want Britt to know about any of this. She doesn't deserve to get in this mess, she's too innocent and I don't want her to get hurt in anyway.''
Rachel couldn't help but let out a small laugh at what Santana had just said. She had just admitted that she didn't want to tell Brittany anything because she didn't want to get her hurt, but there she was telling Rachel everything.
Santana caught on to what Rachel was laughing at. Of course Santana didn't mean to hurt Rachel's feelings , and she certainly didn't want Rachel to get hurt in anyway because of her, but she couldn't take the risk with Brittany. That's all it was, a risk.
'' You know I didn't mean it like that, Rach.'' Santana had to admit, she felt kind of bad.
Rachel felt like she was going to melt from hearing Santana call her by a nickname, but she couldn't let her feelings take control of her, there was no time for that.
Rachel cleared her throat. ''Umm, Santana you do know what you have to do next, right?'' Both girls had a feeling the next part was going to be the most important. If they couldn't do it, Santana's life could possibly be over. The police would eventually get leads, would figure out the women who fled the scene was Santana, find her and lock her away in jail. Both women could agree they did not want that to happen.
'' I have to find Puck, don't I.'' Santana didn't want to say those words, but she knew that was what she had to do.
'' I'm afraid so Santana. Of course I'll help you; the sooner we find him the better. Why don't you search the west side of town and I'll search the east side. If you find him Santana you have to find a way to contact the police and get them to you quick. You have to remember he is dangerous Santana, he's not your friend anymore.''
Santana quickly nodded. She hated to admit it but Rachel was right. Puck was dangerous, and even though they were best friends for a long time Santana couldn't trust him. She couldn't risk her life anymore.
Both girls slid off the desk and walked out of the office and towards their cars. They gave each other one last knowing look before they got into their cars and drove off to try and find Puck.
After calling Santana's phone multiple times and not getting an answer, Brittany decided to call Quinn. Maybe by a small chance Quinn knew where Santana was. Pressing the number one on her cell phone, Brittany hit the send button and called Quinn by speed dial. The phone only rang twice before Quinn picked up.
'' Hey Britt, what's up darling?''
'' Hey Q, would you happen to know where Santana is?''
There was silence on the phone which led Brittany to the conclusion that Quinn didn't know the answer to her question. The silence scared Brittany, where the hell was Santana.
'' Sorry Britt, I don't know where she is, is she missing?'' Quinn was worried. This didn't sound like the conversation she wanted to hear.
'' I-I don't know. She left my house this morning and she just wasn't right. She was hysterical, she was shaking because she was crying so hard. Now she won't answer her phone and I'm starting to worry.'' You could hear Brittany's voice start to crack. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Santana.
'' Okay Britt, it's going to be alright. Why don't we go find her? I'll go search the east side and look around the west end of town, sound good?''
Brittany liked this idea. Between the two of them they should be able to find Santana in no time.
'' Yea I like that Quinn. Call me if you find her, okay.'' Just as they were about to end their conversation Brittany had remembered one thing Santana had told her to do.
'' Oh Quinn, whatever you do, do not go on that date with Puck. Just trust me with this, okay.''
Quinn didn't know why Brittany would say that, but she did trust her, and if Brittany told her not to go, well Quinn was just going to have to listen to her.
'' Okay Britt, I promise you I won't go on that date. I'll see you soon.'' With that Quinn ended the phone call and immediately found a pair of shoes to put on, grabbed her car keys and headed out the door. She was detriment to find Santana for Brittany. Quinn just hoped she was alright.
As soon as the phone call ended, Brittany slipped on a pair of shoes and ran out her door. She decided it would be better to look for Santana on foot. It may take longer, but this way she would be able to search in all the small spots. Brittany was detriment to find Santana, even if it was the last thing she'd do.
Quinn had been looking for Santana for hours before she decided to try to look for Santana in her office. She had remembered Brittany mentioning where her office was located when they had one of their many phone calls. As her car pulled up to the small office she noticed there were no other cars in the parking lot. Quinn decided to check to see if the office was locked anyway. As she shut her car off and quickly got out, she practically ran to the front door and tried to open it. To her surprise the front door was unlocked. Quinn rushed inside and looked to see if anybody was in there. Unfortunately no one was in there since it was still pretty early and their office didn't open till late in the afternoon. Upset that no one was in the room and this was the last place she thought of, Quinn sat down in a chair that was close to a table. She sighed as her eyes focused on a piece of paper that seemed to be left behind. Reading what was on the paper Quinn automatically felt her stomach drop. Listed on the paper were five notes that Quinn never wanted to read again.
-Noah ''Puck'' Puckerman
-DANGEROUS
-Can kill
-Got Santana in this mess-not her fault
-Must find before anything else happens
However, that wasn't even the worst part. On the top of the page in big, bold letters was a sentence that took everything up a notch. Finding a way to stop the killer, thief, asshole, Noah Puckerman! Right at that moment Quinn quickly pulled out her cellphone as she got up from the chair, ran out of the office and in to her car. She dialed Brittany's number, hoping to god she would pick up.
Brittany had spent hours walking around looking for Santana. Her legs were tired, she was hungry, had a headache, and was upset that she didn't find her yet. The blonde only had one more place to look before she literally checked everywhere on the west side. Brittany found herself walking to Santana's apartment building that she had told her about. Luckily for Brittany, Santana had listed her address in her phone so she knew where it was.
It felt like days before Brittany finally saw Santana's apartment building; however it was all worth it when she saw two figures standing outside the front door. Now finding all the strength she had left, Brittany ran to Santana's building. One of those people had to be Santana.
As Brittany got closer she couldn't register what she was seeing. A small brunette had her back towards her, which had to be Santana. However, standing in front of her was a man who was pointing an object at her chest. The blonde didn't clue in until she was right beside the other women. She was right, the small brunette was Santana, but the person in front of her was a man, pointing a gun at her.
Brittany didn't know what was going on. She couldn't even think of a reason why somebody would be pointing such a harsh object at a human being. Although, Brittany didn't have a chance to speak up or ask why. Within seconds Brittany watched as the man pointed the gun at her chest and pulled the trigger. A loud bang shattered through everyone's ears as Brittany closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
A/N: I know last chapter was really short so I decided to post this one supper quick. :]
