savannahs story
"I can't even feel my fingers sav... Just sit down," Logan said to me after I asked him to untie me.
"no there is a bunch of metal nail files up there look" I said looking up to a box on the top shelf.
"what exactly are you going to do, file their nails to death... File yours in to points and scratch them?" Sheriden said sarcastically, I glared at her, she was pissing me off. Thinking she was above me... Fuck you, I thought to my self.
"fuck off... I'm getting out of here!" I replied, it beats snivelling like a little bitch on the floor.
"oh sav...what the?" Logan moaned as I tried to slip my hands that were behind my back under my legs, I lost my balance and fell on Logan though.
"sav get off of him, its uncomfortable enough!" James said.
"get your fucking foot OFF OF ME SAVANNAH... Jesus my back. What the fuck are you doing?" Sheriden moaned as I accidentally knocked her as one of my feet came out from the loop of my arms as I managed to get my hands infront of me.
"haha... See!" I chirped as I then bit the rope with my teeth and undone the knot.
I then leaned on the shelving and got the small box down that had the nail files in, I then moved more boxes trying to get to the vent that was in the wall and began unscrewing it with the nail file.
"what are you doing sav?" James asked me.
"this room used to be part of the kitchen of Mackenzies apartment, through that wall was my bedroom. Under there is a vent that used to run the air con through it. The entire place was fucking freezing because she couldn't handle the heat with her asthma. I'm going to unscrew the vent go next door and leave through the fire escape" I said sounding like Daphne from Scooby doo.
"If you open the fire escape the alarm will sounds on the door, those men will shoot you in the back before you can get down the ladder." Logan informed me.
"I don't give a fuck, the police are out there, can't you here the fucking helicopter going round and round" I said pointing to the ceiling.
"sav sit down I can hear them coming" Sheriden said quickly, I sat back down and put my hands behind my back.
The drug addict gun man came in, he pointed his gun at Sheriden.
"come with me" he said to her
Sheriden started sobbing, she had fear in her eyes, all she could do was obey.
"I will go... Please just leave her alone, she has three children... Please" James begged, but the man just ignored him
The door shut as Sheriden left and I heard the lock turn again in the door.
James then went mental "YOU FUCKING BASTARD... YOU TOUCH MY WIFE AND I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!.. SHERIDEN!... SHERiden!" He screamed before crying in desperation.
"untie me" James said to me.
"are you going to come with me through the fire escape or get us all killed running after Sheriden?" I asked on a survival mission.
"just fucking untie me savannah" James kept saying,
I did then I untied Logan.
James then finished unscrewing the vent that led to the nail bar.
"dude, what are you going to do, you can't get her man. Its suicide" Logan said. Finally making sense.
"Logan she is my wife, you honestly think I'm going to leave her in here, would you of left Mackenzie?" James replied.
"no" Logan replied. "James... What if the worst is going to happen, or has already happened, your kids can't lose both of you" he said.
"guys shhh a minute" I said.
We all stood quietly listening,
"they are in there" I whispered pointing next door, I could hear movement in the room we were just about to crawl through to.
We all stared at the vent. I then heard a clatter from the other side, I went to look inside but Logan pulled me back.
James eventually looked through.
"help has arrived" he said with a relieved look on his face,
I looked through and saw some heavily dressed policeman. He used an arm signal to say to come through, we did crawl through the small hatch in to the nail bar, it looked like they had the same plan as me, the fire escape was open with another cop waiting for us to help us down the ladder. James was left with no choice but to leave Sheriden behind.
The smell of the fresh air made me light headed. I was wrapped in a blanket and taken in to an ambulance.
I remember being spoken to by a paramedic but nothing was sinking in. Shock really set in with what had just happened.
Logan who was sat next to me put his arms around me, it was only then that I realised I was crying.
I looked at James, he was red eyed and talking so fast to a police man, trying his best to get Sheriden out by giving as much information as he could think of.
I kind of just froze, everything seemed to go in slow motion.
I then heard a commotion outside the ambulance, the door opened and Carlos appeared.
he stopped in his tracks for a second, taking in the missing chunks of my hair, I must look dreadful, I started crying harder, then Carlos came and held me
"baby girl, come here" he said as Logan moved out the way.
"are you okay, are you hurt" he Whispered in to my ear.
I just shook my head
We were eventually taken to hospital and got checked over. Logan had a couple of stitches in his head, James didn't come with us, he flatly refused to leave the scene.
"I've just phoned Mackenzie, I'm going home" Logan said giving me a hug.
"I'm going to come with you Logan" I said taking his hand.
"I think kenz just wants to be alone sav, go with Carlos, and I will see you tomorrow okay" he said squeezing my hand and letting go.
Tears started rolling again, I looked at Carlos
"cmon baby let's get you home okay" he said.
"what about Sheriden, we can't just go to bed and wait for morning Logan!" I said to him
"I just want to be with Kenzie, sav" he said then walked away.
"cmon let's get you home and a drink inside you" Carlos said.
"no I'm going to wait with James" I said.
Carlos nodded and we got a cab back to my sisters salon. Nothing was going on, just a lot of waiting around. I sat in a police van with Carlos.
"is there any news?" I said taking james' hand and giving it a squeeze.
"no not yet, I asked why they cant go in through the fire exit like before and get her but they said its too risky, they don't want to start any panic shootings, apparently they are talking, that's all that is going on inside there" James said.
"talking? Do they know we have left the building" I asked.
"I don't think so, a cop told me that Sheriden appears to be talking a lot, which apparently means she is more in control of the situation then they are" he said sounding hopeful.
"it was clever that the cops had the same idea as me about the fire escape huh" I said to him.
James rolled his eyes and gave me a small smile "your phone was giving them a direct link to us in Logans pocket, they heard what you said and wanted to stop me going down to get Sheriden" James replied.
"oh... Really? I thought I was being scooby doo smart" I smiled.
"it was kenzies home phone, we tried calling you, Logans ass cheek must of answered it in his pocket" Carlos then said.
"you were there? Listening to all that?" James said now letting go of my hand.
"yeah" Carlos replied and looked at the floor.
I looked at James not quite understanding the uneasyness in his voice then it hit me... Carlos knew I had slept with James.
"was kenz there listening?" James said quietly.
"yeh... Yeh she was" Carlos replied.
"I'm sorry Los" James then whispered.
"let's just get tonight over and we talk it all through" Carlos said still looking at his feet.
"I have to go" I then said after hearing all this.
"savannah, its okay, I love you, we can get through this" Carlos said.
"how?" I replied crying "I'm a complete bitch to you. No wonder you went looking for someone else, I'm a bitch to Sheriden... Even to my own sister. It should be me inside there, not a mother of three children. I should of just gone with that fat prick" I cried.
"savannah your in shock okay, everything is going to be fine, I'm not going anywhere, I love you" Carlos said.
He then wrapped his arm around me, typical Carlos, no matter what, he always seemed to care about me.
"I just want to go to bed" I whispered
"okay... You okay?" Carlos asked.
"why do you even care, after what you found out today?" I blubbed.
"savannah I love you, tonite has been insane, we need to get Sheri out alive and let you chill out then we can get us sorted" he replied.
"do you want to get us sorted?" I cried
"your my wife, I love you... Course I do, we just need to sort some things out okay... You want to work us out too don't you?" He asked
My hesitance worried him, but I nodded. all I wanted to do was see my sister and forget today ever happened.
