Chapter 21

"Brittany, honey? Come on wake up. It's time to go." Brittany heard the soft voice of her mother beside her and forced her eyes open. She must have fallen asleep, as the sun was now peeking through the curtains. Shooting up in the bed, she sighed in relief as she didn't feel the dizziness that she had grown accustomed to. To her left, her mother stood, smiling gently at her and holding up a bag. "I brought you some spare clothes. You're going to need them as I assume you aren't wearing a hospital gown out of here!" Mrs Pierce chuckled and stepped back to allow her daughter out of the bed. "I'll go and tell the police we're almost ready to go," she said, placing the bag on the bed and heading out into the corridor.

As her mother left the room, the events of the previous evening flooded back to Brittany. Santana's phone call, the conversation with Mrs Lopez and the mayhem before the police finally agreed to let her go with them to the farmhouse to get Santana. And that was why she had to get ready. They had to find Santana.

Rooting through the bag on her bed, she found a tank top, a jumper, a pair of sweats and a stuffed duck that she had had since she was four. She smiled to herself. Her mother always knew what she needed to make her feel better. Pulling off the awful hospital gown, she changed quickly into her familiar clothes, just as her mother returned to the room, followed by a doctor and a policeman.

"Now, while it would be advisable for you to stay another night," the doctor began, "I do understand the seriousness of the situation, so you are free to go." He smiled gently at the younger blonde, who returned it, and began following the policeman and her mother out the door. "Oh and Ms Pierce?" the doctor called. Brittany turned around and looked curiously at the doctor. "Good luck." With a slight nod and smile, Brittany turned and left the room. Catching up to her mother, she listened into what the policeman was saying.

"Now, since we believe that the information that Mrs Lopez and yourselves have given us is true, this man seems to be very unstable," he looked solemnly at Mrs Pierce, "Therefore, we have to ask for complete co-operation from both of you, no matter what happens." at this, he looked at Brittany, his eyes conveying the meaning of the statement.

Brittany nodded, "Okay" she said simply. Once they reached the entrance of the hospital, they saw a black police van parked to the left of the doors. The policeman pointed to the van.

"This is the vehicle we will be taking. As I've said, this man is unstable, so we are bringing a sufficient amount of back up." He opened the door of the van, to reveal four heavily armed policemen. "You ladies will be riding back here. Hop in," he said, offering his hand to politely help the two Pierces into the van. "It's gonna be a long ride, so I recommend getting a bit of sleep," he smiled softly, "See you on the other side." With the two blondes settled, he shut the door, leaving them in the darkness of the van.

Santana didn't bother to look up as the door was thrown open. After another sleepless night, she didn't have the energy to care anymore. A bottle of water and a store-bought sandwich were thrown in front of her face.

"Eat quickly," her father said, not seeming to care that his daughter wasn't moving, "'Cause we're leaving." At this, Santana was snapped out of her daze and looked up at her father wearily. His face was expressionless.

"What did you say?" Santana managed to grind out, her voice sounding hoarse and gravely, probably from the crying and screaming. Her father rolled his eyes in frustration, a trait that Santana had unfortunately picked up.

"I said we're leaving. Are you deaf or something?" he growled, growing tired of his daughter's stupidity. Santana was shocked. Where could they be going? She soon realised that she had been silent for a fraction too long, because suddenly her father was in her face. "Wow, maybe you are deaf. Do you need me to come this close for you to hear me?" he whispered seductively right in her ear. Santana shuddered and barely prevented herself from gagging. Luckily her father pulled away quickly. "Now eat up." With that, he got up and left the room.

Santana wasn't sure she had much of an appetite left after that encounter, but decided that she didn't want to be hungry if they were leaving. She didn't know when she would get food again, so she greedily ate the sandwich and consumed the water within a matter of minutes. Then, she settled back to 'enjoy' the time she had left in this room.

Brittany sat in the back of the van, staring at her feet. The conversation between the to blondes and four policemen had quickly died out after they learned the names of the officers. Thee silence was deafening as everybody sunk into their own thought, which were in Brittany's case, full of worry and anticipation.

She spent the whole journey thinking about Santana. Was she okay? Did he hurt her? Was she even alive? Brittany couldn't bare to think these things so she had desperately tried, and failed, to go to sleep, so she just settled for shutting off her mind and concentrating on her feet. Looking up at her mother, she saw the serious expression on her face. She looked thoughtful, and didn't notice her daughter staring at her.

Suddenly, the van screeched to a halt, and everyone snapped out of their thoughts. Brittany scrambled back over to her mother just as the van door was thrown open, revealing the first policeman.

"Okay we're here," he began, and gesturing to the four armed men he said, "Let's go, come on!" The men jumped up and out of the van, standing behind the other man, who turned back to the two women. "I have to ask both of you to stay here," Brittany began to protest but was cut off by the policeman, "No arguing. This situation is highly unsafe. Just stay-" He was cut off by the sound of a gunshot and one of the men behind him fell to the ground. "Oh shit."
