YOUR KIND REVIEWS MADE ME SOOOOOO HAPPY THAT I JUST HAVE TO WRITE MORE:):):):):):):)
Everything lasted not longer than fractions of seconds. Carter with one fluid movement turned in their direction and raised his weapon. The first bullet literally passed millimeters from Bobby's ear, the second stayed inside, they didn't give him a chance to shoot again, Jack's bullet hit him in the arm. Jack cursed, he didn't want to use his gun, they needed a living Carter to question him. He was the only lead they had, the only way he could find Sue. Wheezing Carter fell down on the floor. It was his end, just as he had predicted. However if those police dogs thought that they would catch him alive then they were going to have a nasty surprise. He had one last card to play out.
„ Bobby, damn it! Jack shouted seeing how Carter's body started shaking. There was also bloody foam on the lying man's lips. They could not let him die!
"What did you do?"
"What did you take?" Both agents rushed up, but they didn't have any chances. A scent of bitter almonds was spreading quickly around. Cyanide.
Jack looked at his friend with terror. They let deceive themselves, they screwed it and now Sue and Tara would pay for it.
Garrett didn't say a word when they called him to report their failure. He didn't have to. There was now no time for thrusts, accusations or any other details like that. They had to focus. Leland spread the Tennessee map on a table in conference room and marked the road with which the lorry entered the state, however possibilities were endless and testing all roads would take weeks. Myles loosen up his tie and with frustration looked at the map. They needed Tara to crack it! But Tara wasn't there to do her usual magic. So they needed the next best thing: a miracle.
" What the hell?" Myles yelled when somebody threw the file of crumpled slips of paper on his knees.
"Bills! Newbies found them at Carter's- looks like he thoroughly squared with his boss" D explained not even raising his head occupied with looking through the other stack.
Myles looked at him not understanding.
"Leland, move! Tara's not here so we have to do it old way! We seek all bills from Tennessee! " D yelled setting the next crumpled sheet aside and making a red dot on the map to mark a place the bill had come from.
Myles finally grasped it. Bills! Petrol stations! It could lead them to the truck as easily as a marked road!
Levi stood on the sidelines observing people who were running and shouting around him. He didn't care why they behave so strangely, he didn't care what they were doing, he wanted only to find his mistress.
The man led Sue to the corridor they had used before, his holding fast on her neck. He brutally pushed her into one of the rooms and then carefully locked up the door.
„ Go on and sit down " he snapped pushing her toward the stack of boxes arranged in the corner. Sue obediently sat down all the time making sure that she would be able to see his face. Her initial terror began subsiding. She could see that something was wrong. A cool professional who had talked with Lewowski only minutes ago disappeared and in his place appeared very much heat up man.
„ Damn it, bloody hell, goddammit! What am I supposed to do! " he muttered to himself unaware that Sue's vigilant eyes register his every word
„ Who are you actually? " he approached her and the girl instinctively moved away away quivering with fear.
„ Alright calm down. I won't hurt you" he started explaining, but after a moment he realized his mistake " right, you don't understand a word I'm saying! " he raised both his hands up hoping that his hostage would understand the meaning behind his gesture "I won't hurt you" he repeated taking a step back.
Sue gazed on him trying to understand what was going on. Who was this man? What did he want? The man rummaged through his pockets and finally took out the old ballpoint pen and something what looked like a receipt from a petrol station. He quickly scribed a few words on it.
'I'm Mick. I won't hurt you, but you must listen to me. Do you understand?'
" I understand " Sue said after reading hurriedly scrawled words " My name is Sue"
Mick smiled at her. Okay so far so good. Perhaps not everything was lost. He reached for the pen, but her hand tightened on his stopping him. There was something decent about him, something honest, maybe it was his look which reminded her Jack. Whatever it was, she had to trust him, if only for Tara's sake.
"You don't have to write I can read what you're saying from your lips" she explained praying that her instinct didn't mislead her .
Mick's eyes widened, that was unexpected " But you just told Lewowski..." he didn't finish instead of it he gave her amused smile " smart girl" he praised her.
„ Who are you?" Sue asked „ why are you helping me? "
"I could ask you the same question" Mick shook his head seeing that Sue was ready to start talking. If only circumstances had been different he would have loved to hear the story how exactly this lovely deaf girl had managed to end up in that nightmare but right now he had other things to worry about.
" I'm sorry darling but we must postpone this conversation for better time. For now I can only tell you that I'm on your side. I promise that I will do everything to get you out of here, but you must do what I say. If my people don't appear soon Cal will surely see through my little charade and then this whole hell will break lose. I'll leave you here and check what's going on , I'll be back " he talked quickly, hoping that she understood. They didn't have time for long chats. He could bet that Lewowski was already questioning his behavior.
He reached for his weapon, but her voice made him stop.
" And Tara? What about her? I can't leave her " she whispered urgently "you must help me find her! "
"Tara?" Mick asked
" My friend, she was with me. She dragged your men away "
Mick's face sobered. When girls had split he'd had to make a choice. He had been able to go and try to rescue only one of them, leaving second on her own, and now he learned the name of the second woman. The women he'd sentenced to death.
"I am sorry, but before we came in here I'd heard shots. They must have get her. Your friend is gone. "
