Hunted-Ch 14

Sam sat and watched for over an hour before Penelope started moving around on the bed, when her eyes opened she glanced over to the handsome man beside her sleeping peacefully on the bed and she couldn't help but smile. That smile soon fell when she looked to the foot of the bed and saw Sam sitting there, he put his finger to his lips letting her know to be quiet.

She laid there looking at him, he stood up and walked closer and whispered, "the funs a gonna start when your feller wakes up", she bit down on her lip wondering how they were going to get out of this. Sam smiled and whispered, "I can see why my baby brother fell for ya", he gently touched her face, she pulled away and he grabbed her face hard and said, "don't do that".

Derek started waking up and the first thing he saw was Sam with his hands on Penelope, he started to raise up and Sam aimed his gun and said, "I don't think so big feller, just lay right there". Derek said, "how did you get in here"?, he laughed and said, "there ain't no winder or door lock that can keep me out", Derek glanced down at a very scared Penelope and said, "it's alright Penelope, I won't let him hurt you".

Sam laughed and said, "and just what are you going to do"?, Derek said, "there is no way that I'm going to let you hurt her no matter what I have to do or what happens to me". Penelope said, "y y you can just go and we won't say anything", Sam said, "I'm not stupid", she said, "I I I never said you were", he said, "you are actin like I'm stupid enuff to just go and nothin will happen".

Fran pulled in front of Dereks place and got out and started making her way up the sidewalk, when she put her hand on the knob she noticed that the door was locked,
she pulled out her key and opened the door. She stepped inside and noticed that they weren't there and she smiled and said, "they are probably napping, I'll put these groceries up and go check on them before I fix them something to eat".

Derek reached over and intertwined fingers with Penelope and said, "I want you to know that our team never meant to kill your brother, he shot first so they all shot back in self defense". Sam said, "SHUT UP, JUST SHUT YER LYIN MOUTH", Fran stopped what she was doing and pulled her cell out of her purse and dialed Daves number and after a few rings he said, "missing me already Bella"?, she whispered, "Dave I need you to get here and bring police".

He said, "why, what's wrong"?, she said, "I went to the store to pick up some things for Derek and Penelope and I was putting it up when I heard a mans voice yelling upstairs". Dave pulled his keys out and said, "what's he saying"?, she said, "telling them to shut their lyin mouth", he said, "can you get out of the house without getting caught"?, she said, "he's still talking upstairs so I should be able to".

He said, "slip out through the garage and I'll be there in a few minutes", after ending the call he immediately called for backup while Fran did what Dave suggested and slipped out into the garage and made her way outside and up the street. Sam said, "you killed my brother and yer gonna pay", Derek said, "we didn't kill anybody we were with Liam, remember"?, he said, "well it's yer fault that he got caught".

Penelope said, "S S Sam please don't hurt us", he said, "it'd be better if ya kept quiet and let me think" Derek and Penelope laid there perfectly still as to not make matters worse. Meanwhile up the street Fran gave a sigh of relief when she saw Dave pulling up in front of her, he jumped out of the car and straight over to her and pulled her into his arms.

He said, "are you alright"?, she nodded her head and said, "I'm fine but he's still in there with them Dave", he said, "don't worry Bella we'll get them out", she said, "I know you will and I need you to be careful, you were already wounded remember"?, he kissed her lips gently and said, "I was just grazed honey but I'll be careful I promise".

Fran watched as Dave and the local police started making their way toward the house and she stood there sending up a silent prayer that everybody got out safe and sound. She stood worried after she saw them all disappear out of sight, she took a deep breath and said, "they have to be alright, they just have to be, I can't lose my family, not now".

Sam looked over at Penelope and said, "I'm a gonna kill your feller and make you watch and then I'm gonna have some fun with ya a fore I kill ya", Derek said, "you aren't gonna touch her". Sam laughed and screamed, "AFTER YER DEAD I'M GONNA DO MORE THAN TOUCH ER" and before Derek could react to that the door flew open and he quickly covered Penelopes body with his as the sound of gunfire filled the room.
