Hey, another installment.
"So, what are we going to do?" Shawna asked. Aisha was walking back and forth. Shawna crossed her arms, ready to hear a suggestion.
"I don't know," Aisha said. This was hard on her. Aisha doesn't want her friend to be with someone she doesn't want to be with, but she doesn't want two of her best friends dead. "Listen, we just need to figure out a way to save Rocky."
"And Adam," Shawna finished.
"Yeah, that's what I said," Aisha said. Shawna rolled her eyes.
"So, what are we going to do?" Shawna asked again. She couldn't decide on who to choose: her or Adam and Rocky. It was a hard choice that Shawna had to make. She doesn't want her friends to die but she doesn't want to be with Ben. It was torture. "Aisha, you don't have to worry anymore."
"What do you mean?" Aisha asked.
"I'm going to hand myself over," Shawna answered.
"What?!" Aisha exclaimed, "You're not going to turn yourself over. We can save Rocky and Adam without this." Shawna shook her head.
"I don't think so," Shawna said.
"Rocky and Adam can be save without this sacrifice," Aisha said, "We just need to figure it out."
"No," Shawna responded, "You don't understand, Aisha. You've been making sacrifices for me and now it's my turn."
"No," Aisha said, "We'll find another way."
"No," Shawna said, "No. Put yourself in my shoes."
Aisha thought about it. She would've done it. "No. No. Shawna, you're not sacrificing yourself. Done deal." Aisha walked away.
"Oh, so you want Rocky and Adam to die!" Shawna screamed, letting go of her arms.
Aisha turned around and begin to speak, "No! What I want is to save them and stop you from handing yourself over."
"Well, that's going to be your problem," Shawna said. She went to go and grab her jacket.
"Where are you going?" Aisha asked.
"Don't worry, I'm not handing myself over," Shawna said, "I'm going for a walk. Plus, I don't even know where he kept them captive." Shawna walked out of the door and remember what happened he said on the phone earlier.
Shawna was sitting on the couch until the phone rang. She walked up and answered the phone. "Hello?" Shawna said.
'Hello,' a familiar voice was heard.
"Ben, why are you calling?" Shawna asked.
'Well, I just wanted to say goodbye after you and Aisha both sneak out of the car,' Ben replied.
"Oh, well, we are very sorry for that," Shawna said.
'Oh, I also wanted to say that I have two people that you would very likely save,' Ben said, 'Rocky and Adam, wasn't it? Yeah, you have 48 hours to turn yourself in or they both would die.'
"No," Shawna said, anger rushing in, "you wouldn't."
'I would,' Ben said, 'If you want to turn yourself in, meet me in the under ground tunnels of Weather's Beach. It's in the subway. You take a left and it's the first door you see. I hope you make the right choice. Now, can I speak to Aisha?'
Shawna held a fist up. She wanted to scream. Why did Ben have to take them. Why Rocky and Adam? Shawna couldn't think of what to do. She calmed herself down and yelled for Aisha. "Aisha!"
In seconds, she saw Aisha came into the room. "What happened?"
Shawna knew that she had to do it. It was for everybody's safety. Her thoughts were interrupted by some footsteps she heard from behind her. Shawna looked back but saw no one. She kept on going, but she could still feel someone's presence behind her.
After she arrived to the subway, Shawna walked down the stairs and looked at all directions, making sure no one saw her. She went to her left and opened the first door. When she entered, she saw a long mile of stairs. Shawna started walking down the stairs until the stairs disappear. She saw Rocky and Adam hang on the wall with only six inches from the floor to the bottom of their feet. "Okay, I'm here," Shawna said. No one was heard or seen. "Hello?!"
"It's about time," Ben said, coming out of the darkness.
Shawna rolled her eyes and turned her attention to him. "So, will you release them?"
"Not yet," Ben said.
"That's not part of the deal," Shawna said, "Let them go, NOW!"
"I'm sorry," Ben said, "Did you really think that I was going to let them go?" Shawna widened her eyes. "You're so stupid. It's because of Rocky that made you hate me."
"He has nothing to do with it," Shawna said, "let him go."
"And there's Adam," Ben continued, "He wouldn't keep his nose out of my conversations. I'm surprised he hasn't told you and Aisha yet."
"I said let them go," Shawna demanded.
"No, I'm going to kill them right in front of you," Ben said, "I will kill Adam first while you watch and then I'll make Rocky suffer and then I'll end his misery by death."
Suddenly, they heard a groan. They turned to Rocky and Adam and saw them waking up. "What happened?" Rocky asked.
"Oh, finally awake," Ben said.
Rocky opened his eyes and tried to move his arms and hands until he looked at them. They were pinned down to the wall.
Ben got out his pocket knife and walked over to Rocky. "So, Shawna, are you ready for this?"
"No," Shawna said.
"What are you-" Rocky said before feeling a sharp object injected into his leg. He screamed in pain.
"Ben, stop it," Shawna demanded.
"No, I'm not going to stop until he suffers, he's dead, and you're mine without no worries," Ben said, pointing to Rocky, Adam, and her.
Ben thrust the knife into Rocky's shoulder. Rocky screamed with fear.
"Ben," Shawna begin, "If you don't stop this instant, I'm going back. And I don't care if you kill them or not."
Ben looked back, with an expression of worry and desperation. 'She wouldn't...would she?' Ben thought, 'Unless...' Ben started chuckling. "You think you can fool me?!" his voice got higher, "You think I'm an idiot!" Shawna kept silence. "Fine, if you want it that way." He got out two guns and pointed it at Rocky and Adam. "Which one should die first?"
"No, don't," a female voice came out. Shawna and Ben both turned around and saw Aisha running down the stairs.
"Aisha, what are you doing here?" Shawna asked.
"No, don't kill them," Aisha said, "Please."
"Oh," Ben started, "another one, fantastic."
"Look, I know that you want revenge because Rocky dated Shawna and you wanted to make him suffer but this is wrong, and you know it," Aisha said, "Please let them go, unharm."
"Fine," Ben gave in, "but Shawna must stay here, with me."
Aisha looked at Shawna, then Ben and spoke nothing out. Aisha walked over to Adam as Ben tossed Aisha the keys. She unlocked Adam and Rocky. Aisha helped Rocky walked out of the room. Shawna turned away and started walking with them.
"What are you doing?" Ben asked.
"Walking," Shawna said.
"Oh, no, you're not," Ben said. He pointed the gun out and pulled the trigger.
Hey, so I hope you like. Review.
