Live Free or Let Me Die

Chapter 21

Take

Take my rights away, take my ambition

Capture me, make me a slave

Break the walls, break my bones

-Skillet

Mr. Vega walked outside to the front and walked to a man who was outside with a few others. "Johnson." He called out when he was close. The man turned to him. "You guys doing already out here?"

The man, name Johnson, nodded. "Of course. We're Navy Seals. We can last for days out here if we have to."

"I really appreciate you doing this for me." Mr. Vega told him.

"After you saved my life in the war all those years ago, it's the least I can do." Johnson shrugged. "I owe you my life."

Mr. Vega chuckled. "Well, alright then."

SCREECH

Two black SUVs suddenly appeared in front of the "secret" hospital, making the Navy Seals and Mr. Vega on high alert. Johnson yanked Mr. Vega towards the door. "Go protect the girl!"

Mr. Vega nodded as he saw the doors to the SUV open. He ran through the hospital as people inside decide to look outside. Suddenly…

BOOM

A large explosion sent Mr. Vega into a wall, injuring his shoulder. He groaned in pain as sirens, alarms, and people screaming were heard throughout the hospital. He realized he had to get to Cat. He began running again, coughing from all the smoke. He went through a few double doors before he found Cat's room. Cat was still in her hospital bed, but wide awake.

"Mr. Vega, what was that loud noise?" She asked in a scared voice.

Mr. Vega put his foot on a chair next to her bed and yanked up his pant leg to reveal his police gun. He took it out and put the bullets inside, turning the safety off. He went up to Cat and carefully took out her IV, with her hissing at the pain. With the gun in hand, he helped Cat onto her feet and went to the door and looked both ways in the hallway to see if it was safe.

"Okay, Cat-"

BANG

BANG

BANG

Cat screamed as Mr. Vega released his hold on her and fired his gun back at the shooter down the hallway entrance. Cat walked a bit away, but she didn't go far before she slid down the wall, too weak to walk.

Mr. Vega kept shooting at the people before suddenly his gun only make clicking sounds. "SHIT!" He yelled before he shut Cat's room door and locked it. He helped Cat up again, as she screamed in pain since he was being rough, and he practically dragged her to the corner of the room. "Okay, I just need to open the window before they get the door open!" He said to himself as he walked towards the window. The door was heavy so it would take a while to-

BOOM

Suddenly Mr. Vega and Cat were in the middle of a bomb war here. Mr. Vega coughed loudly, groaning in pain as everything in the room was on fire, but he saw two men and a blonde woman walk in with guns. The two men walked to Cat.

Mr. Vega growled. "Don't you dare-"

BANG!

Cat had wide eyes, still coughing from the smoke. "NO! MR. VEGA! MR. VEGA!" She tried to reach for his lifeless body, but the men yanked her back. "LET ME GO!" She attempted to get out of their hold, but soon felt helpless again.

She was faced to Lucy, who smirked with pride. "Oh, this is going to be so good."

Beck arrived at the place Lucy had kept them and pulled out a gun he bought from the nearest guy off the street. He loaded it, glaring at the front doors as he stepped out of the car. He walked up, preparing himself for the worst. This is for Cat. This is for Cat. He opened the front doors with ease, his heart racing with anxiety that a random person is going to jump out and shoot him in the head.

NO! I can't die today! Beck carefully explored the large, elegant place. I have to get back to Cat. If I die here, they'll take her back to America, where they send her to jail for a murder she didn't commit! I won't let her spend the rest of her life in jail!

He soon found a bedroom, and before he could leave that room, a phone rang. He looked back in the room and saw a random, cheap burn phone on the large, king size bed. He quickly ran over to it and answered. "Hello?"

"Well, well, I knew you'd try to find me. Good thing I left there, huh?" Lucy taunted on the other line.

Beck clenched his fists. "You need to face me! We have to end this!"

"Oh, of course. But first, I want you to talk to someone."

Beck heard the phone being shuffled over.

"Beck?"

Beck stopped breathing for a second when he heard his wife's hurt, weak voice over the cell phone. "NO!" He yelled into the phone, gripping it.

"AH!" He heard Cat scream after hearing a slap.

"Cat? Cat! CAT!" Beck yelled into the phone. "CAT!"

"Did you really think I would just leave her alone?" Lucy's voice said over the phone. "Because of your mistake of leaving her at that hospital, now dozens of Navy Seals, doctors, and nurses are dead. Not to mention your good buddy Vega."

Beck's heart almost stopped. Mr. Vega was dead? Beck collapsed to his knees. "My God, just leave her alone! She's been tortured enough!"

"You want to see her one last time, Beck? Well, come to down to the basement. Yes, we're still here." She snickered out, as Beck already was walking around to find the door. "See you in a few minutes."

Yes, this was the shortest chapter of the whole story, but oh well. It creates the suspense for you. :) I love doing that to you guys.

My son is well and healthy, so am I :) We did well for our first week together as mother and son. Awww.

Please review again! You guys are so awesome! I'm not sure we'll make it to 300 reviews before the stories finished, but I still appreciate your love. :) Thanks.

PREVIEW FOR CHAPTER 22: Come My Way

Lucy looked absolutely possessed as she growled. "No! You'll die today, Oliver! And I have someone about to kill your wife, so you can burn in hell together!" Soon, she had Beck's whole body under water, but Beck pulled her down with him.

BANG!

Beck heard the gunshot, even underwater, and his heart almost stopped again. CAT!

Cat ran away from the man and went out the door Beck had come in. She climbed the stairs, as the man shot the gun at her a second time.

BANG!
