Chapter 14 : Taking back what is ours Part- 2

Ellie can't believe who the person is: the same woman that drugged her and Joel so those men could take them. It's her: the one that separated her from Joel, and the one that might even be responsible for his death. "You!... you bitch!... I know that you worked with those slaver people, but now you work for these people, too?" says Ellie furiously and moving closer while pointing the gun at her.

Bibi is really surprised, even though Joel warned her about Ellie doing something to her. But she didn't expect this. "Wait... what?... No!... no, no... I'm not working with these people. And about what happened before - I didn't have a choice." Bibi puts her hands in a surrender position when she sees that Ellie isn't going to change her mind. "Please, don't shoot... I'm just trying to help you… you and-" She is interrupted by Ellie.

"Help me!... You really think that I'm going to believe you after what you did to me… and Joel. I just want to know one thing before I blow your head off… They told me that they killed you, and Joel… is that true?...Because if they killed him because of you, I'm going to shoot you in your legs and leave you here to die slowly." Bibi can't believe what she just heard, but can see the hurt in Ellie's face.

She knows that they love each other, but to this point… she sees Ellie move in front of her and put the gun to her forehead. "We trusted you and you… and you did this to us… so tell me, what happened to Joel?..."

Bibi wants to tell her how sorry she is - she just did this to save her son. She even risked his life, trying to undo what she did. But she can't find the words, so she tries the best she can. "I came... to rescue you... you and my son… please… Joel- I can tell you that he is-" She doesn't finish, as a man stops in the entrance of the room and yells.

"ELLIE, DON'T!..." Ellie opens her eyes wide as soon as she hears the voice, a voice that she knows well. A voice that she wasn't sure she would hear again.

Ellie turns her head quickly and looks at the man in the doorframe. "Joel!?" It's the only word that comes out of her mouth.

"Yes, kiddo, it's me!... I was looking for you and-" Joel stops when he sees Ellie run toward him and jump in his arms with a happy face. As soon as Ellie is on him, she puts her hands around his neck and her legs around his waist. Joel moves his hands and grabs her quickly so she doesn't fall down. He is happy too, to have her in his arms again. Joel is going to say something to her, but Ellie stops him by moving her head from his shoulder to the front of his face and kisses him.

Her kiss is so deep that it looks like she wants to eat his mouth. She sucks his lips, trying to remember how it felt the last time she kissed him. As much as Ellie wants to be like that forever, she knows that they need to get out of there. So after a minute, she breaks the kiss and looks at him. Seeing his face again is a miracle to her... being in his arms, feeling his hands on her. Ellie puts her forehead to his and closes her eyes as some tears start to fall down her cheeks. "Fuck, Joel!... I thought you were dead... shit!... don't do this to me again… okay?" Ellie says in a lower voice.

Joel closes his eyes, too… being separated from her all this time was making him crazy, but now all that is over. "Don't worry, kiddo... I promised that I'm never going to leave you again... remember," says Joel, hugging her harder.

Bibi stands up from the ground, passing her hand over her jaw, where Ellie just punched her. Then she starts to look around, trying to to see if her son is there. When she doesn't see her son in the room, she walks toward Joel and Ellie. "Sorry to interrupt your lovely reunion… but where is my son?" Her question is directed more at Ellie.

Joel moves his head away from Ellie and looks at Bibi. "He ain't here?" he asks with a worried expression.

Ellie opens her eyes and looks at Joel; hearing the woman asking for her son is a little surprising to her. So she starts to let go of Joel, and gets down and puts her feet on the floor. Then Ellie turns around and looks at the woman. "Your son?... I don't understand," she says, looking back at Joel.

Joel looks at Ellie's surprised face, remembering that she doesn't know about Bibi's son. "The slavers had her son - that's... why… she did what she did," says Joel with a sad tone.

Ellie looks back at Bibi. "They had your son… you mean Liam?... Liam is your son?" she asks with a surprised expression.

Bibi moves close to Ellie and grabs her by the shoulder. "Yes… he is my son. And as we didn't find him there, I thought at first that the Fireflies took him and you."

"But these people are not Fireflies!.. They are just some mercenaries or something that made a deal with them."

"We know… one of the guards told us… well, sort of. But he's not here with you. Do you know what happened to him?" Bibi lets go of Ellie and starts to ask desperately.

Ellie looks in her eyes, knowing that she is telling the truth. "He is here, but I don't know where they took him." Then she turns back to Joel. "I think they mentioned another building close to here, so maybe he-" Ellie stops when she sees a man approaching from the corridor, as Joel has his back to the door and doesn't see him coming. So Ellie moves the gun she has in her hand and points it at the man. The action is in slow motion, and she doesn't have much time to do something. As soon as she sees that the man is going to shoot Joel in the back, Ellie quickly pushes Joel to the side and aims the gun toward the man behind them, and before Joel can react, Ellie starts shooting.

James jumps to the side as soon as he sees Ellie shooting at him, but before he dodges the shot, one of the bullets hits him in the leg. "Ahrrrr!" he screams in pain as soon as he hits the floor, and hides behind a wall. Then he starts to shoot back at her. But by the time he does that, Ellie, Joel, and Bibi have moved behind the wall inside the room and started to shoot back at him.

James takes a few more shots before he starts to speak. "Your boss!... has a lot of nerve to sending you here to attack us... After we had a deal!... you motherfuckers!... you're mistaken if you think that you're going to take the boy and girl for free?" James says as he reloads his gun.

Bibi looks at Joel from the other side of the wall, wanting to know now how Joel got inside the building. "Hey, how did you get in here?... you're supposed to be distracting them, remember?" she asks while watching Joel shoot at the man. But before he can answer, another explosion is heard from outside - and more shooting, too. "What in the hell was that?" She looks away from him and starts to think. "If you're here!... who is outside attacking this place?"

Joel looks at her while Ellie shoots back. "Oh, yeah… those will be the real Fireflies," he says with a worried expression.

"WHAT!" both women say at the same time.

Joel doesn't want to explain this right now, but they need to know. "Yeah, after you went in, a few of them showed up. I had to hide while they started to move to the front, but one of these men found the guy we left tied up in the tree. When he called for help, the Fireflies started shooting them."

Ellie looks at him with a worried expression now. "So what are we going to do now?... we can't fight the Fireflies and this man by ourselves…? "

"We don't just need to get out of here - we need to find my son," adds Bibi.

"Well, let's hope that they get very busy with killing each other. But first, we need to get out of this room," says Joel while he takes some shots.

"Oh... I think I have something for that." Bibi takes out her backpack and takes out something… in her hand, Bibi has a cylinder grenade. "I think this is going to do the trick." She pulls the holding ring out and throws it in the direction of the man. As soon as the thing hits the floor close to him, it explodes. It's a flash grenade that Bibi found with the other weapons that she was hiding in that old cave. The light illuminates that part of the corridor, blinding the men.

Joel and Ellie stop shooting while Joel looks at Bibi. "What the hell was that?... now they know that we're here," says Joel, standing up and grabbing Ellie by the arm.

"Sorry about that - I thought it was a smoke grenade," she says with an apologetic tone, then she stands up and follows them out.

Joel moves quickly toward where the man is and kicks the gun out of his hand. Then Joel grabs the man by the shirt. The man is still feeling the effects of the flash grenade. A moment later, the man opens his eyes and looks at him. Bibi moves beside Joel and looks at the man. "Where is my son?..." she asks him quickly.

"Son?... who the hell are you…?"

"The one that is going to kill you if you don't start talking," says Joel with a furious voice.

"I think you...already did that!…" Joel looks at the man and sees that he has three wounded spots: one in the leg, another on his shoulder, and the last one in his abdomen.

The wounds are not deadly, but he is probably going to bleed to death if he doesn't get medical attention soon. "We just came for the girl and the boy. So tell us where he is. As soon as you answer, we can get out of here. So that way, you and the Fireflies can kill each other."

"You're not… going to… get out… of here… alive." The man starts to get weak. "You all are… going to… die!"

Bibi tries to push Joel away from the man, so that way, she can make him talk. "Just tell her what you did wit-"

"Watch out!" Ellie starts to shoot at two men that came through the corridor that leads to the front part of the building. Joel lets go of the man's shirt and moves to cover. The man falls to the floor as soon as Joel and the others move away. "We need to get out of here before the Fireflies get in," says Ellie as they run toward another corridor.

"I'm not going anywhere without my son," says Bibi, running behind them. One of the men continues following them and shooting, while the other stops to check on his boss.

"I told you that he mentioned that Liam was in another building close to this one. So maybe they still have him there." As soon as they get out in the corridor, Joel turns around and throws his last grenade at the entrance. The man sees it and tries to turn, but it's too late. Joel, Bibi, and Ellie run away as the device explodes, killing the man.

After that, they stop behind some old lumber, then they see a few Firefly men entering the place and shooting at some of James' men. "Kill all of them, and find the girl and the kid!" says one of the Firefly men. Then they hear the sound of a truck getting started and moving in a backward direction. "They're in the truck - don't let them escape!" yells the man, then some of his men start to chase the truck and shoot at it.

Bibi moves in front to watch the confrontation. "We have to go after them, too," she says in a desperate tone. "My son could be in that truck." Then she sees how one of the Fireflies is pointing an rocket launcher toward the truck and firing at the front of it. She sees in horror how the truck tries to evade the missile, but the thing hits the front part of the truck, and part of the driver seat blows up.

"NOOOOOO!..."
