Chlo: Thank you so much! Here's another chapter!
Thank you for all the nice reviews, I'm going to start replying to them again because I prefer talking to you guys and finding out what you like.
NORRIE'S POV:
He was pointing the gun at Joe, my heart was beating fast. Joe had pushed me behind so I would be safer. But being the damsel in distress was never my style.
"So is shooting a couple of kids going to make the town worship you?" I say coldly as I step forward but Joe keeps his arm firmly in front of me to stop me from going any further.
"Careful. I will blow that god damn red head off!" Jim threatens.
"Is that saving the town then Jim?" I say sarcastically.
"Norrie, don't." Joe pleads.
"You better listen to dream boy, he's got some sense." Jim sniggers as I glare at him.
"What do you want from us?" Joe asks.
"Isn't it obvious? Your precious egg." He raises an eyebrow. I answered.
"Well come with me to a kitchen and I'll happily smash one on your bald, dry hea-"
"Norrie!" Joe looks at me. He looks scared.
"If you don't give it to me there will be consequences. Stupid kids." Jim says as he puts his finger over the trigger daringly. "I'll start with you Norrie." He points his gum straight at me, I gulped but kept a brave face.
"No! Don't shoot her!" Joe stands in front of me.
"Joe what are you-" I shout.
"I'm sorry Joe but if your fail to obey me, your girlfriend takes a shot to the head." Jim sighs with fake sympathy.
"I'll do anything." Joe continues to shield me.
"No Joe, don't follow his pointless orders, I'll be fine don't worry." I grab his arm.
I glanced at Jim's face and I figured it out.
"You wouldn't shoot us."
"Why's that?" Jim tests me.
"Because we're your only chance of getting the egg."
JOE'S POV:
"You're a smart girl." Jim patronises. "Now come with me, don't get me wrong I can still shoot you, just not kill you. Not yet anyway."
I froze, I had a tight grip of Norrie's wrist. I was glued to her, this time I'm here to protect her. Jim lead us to his three seated pickup truck.
"Joe, you're driving, get in." He commands.
We all clamber in, me in the drivers seat, Norrie next to me and Jim next to her. He still had hold of his pistol and he was pointing it at Norrie very discreetly.
"Here's how it's gonna go Joe, you drive us safely to the town hall, and I won't shoot your girlfriend." He says as he effectively reloaded his gun.
My hands grip the steering wheel and I shakily turn the key to start the truck.
"Joe, you don't have to do what he-"
"Yes, I do." I say in reply to Norrie. "If I don't, he will shoot you..." I look into her frightened hazel eyes.
"It's not about me, it's about the egg." She tries to convince me as Jim groans.
"No I don't care, I'm not letting you get-"
"Enough if this bullshit. Drive the god damn truck before I loose my temper!" Jim shouts, making me and Norrie slightly jump.
I immediately release the handbrake, put the truck into gear and drive. As we roll down the road towards the town hall, I can see in the corner of my eye that Jim's gun is still present and pointing at Norrie. It makes my heart beat rapidly and my hands grip tighter, sweat beads form on my forehead as if to make a halo. We finally pull up to the town hall.
"Get out." Jim says bluntly.
NORRIE'S POV:
I look around the site, there is literally no one around to help us. This is meant to be police ridden.
"How do you know Linda isn't inside ready to bust your ass?" I say with spite.
"She's too busy fighting crime. Now quit the questions and move." Jim gestures with his gun. What an ass.
We file into the town hall, mine and Joe's hands were attached like they were stapled together. We squeezed each other for reassurance.
"Where now?" Joe questioned.
"The cells." Jim said with an evil grin.
"Oh so we're going to be caged up for nothing what a load of crap." I moaned. Jim pushed us both until we were underground in the prison room.
"Changed your mind about telling me where the egg is?" Jim raised an eyebrow.
"Not in a million years." I say before Joe could answer.
"Of course you haven't." Jim glared.
He grabbed Joe by the collar of his T-shirt and I jumped in shock. He began to push Joe back against the cell. A thud echoed through the room as his spine hit the metal bars.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted as I tried to pull Jim away from Joe but he pushed me away and drew out his gun. I stopped dead in my tracks. He turned back to Joe with the gun pointing at me.
"Now do you want to tell me where it is?" He threatened. Joe heavy breathed and struggled, we caught each other's eye. I look at his desperately, hoping he would know what I'm thinking.
"No." Joe hissed.
"Very well." Jim sighed in nonexistent pity.
He tighten his grip on Joe and threw him into the nearest cell and locked the door. Jim turned to me and snatched my bicep and flung me into the stone wall, front first. I hit it like a torpedo on the front of my body and it surprisingly winded me, I bounced off the wall and fell onto the cold floor and started coughing, trying to regain normal breathing.
"Stop! Don't hurt her!" Joe screamed, his body and face pushed against the cell bars.
"Decided to tell me then Joe?" Jim asks, knowing that Joe is normally easy to crack.
"No. Joe. Don't." I say between gasps. Joe silences for a second, Jim staring into his soul.
"He's hurting you! I can't-"
"Joe! I-"
"Stop interrupting me! You've been doing it all day!" He says. I smile on the inside.
"If you tell him, everyone is this town will die, the egg needs to stay protected. I won't forgive you if you tell him!" I shout trying to persuade him.
Jim grabs me once again but by the hair. "Ow!" I scream.
"STOP!" Joe screeches angrily.
I struggle violently to release myself from his sweaty grip. I try to scratch cat his face, he tried to stop me so he drops his pistol. Before he could gain power over me or reach his gun, I kicked it as hard as I could towards Joe's cell.
Without any hesitation, Joe retrieves the gun by putting his arm through the bars, he points it at Jim.
Hope you enjoyed this! Please review and tell me your favourite part of this chapter, thanks!
