Big green eyes
"This is it!" Maria cried out, after four hours of driving. "That's the warehouse I saw in my flash."
"Are you sure?" Max asked, slowing down the car.
"I'm positive," Maria said and squeezed Michael's hand.
Max stopped the car behind some trees and then turned to the others.
"We need to check out the place before we just go inside. We don't know what kind of place this is."
"I can tell you that this is not where I was taken," Maria said, shivering at the thought. "That place was guarded like the white house. And it was a lot bigger."
"Well, that means that they weren't planning on us ever finding out where they took the baby," Michael said. "Otherwise they wouldn't leave it this easy to get to."
"Remember that we don't know what it looks like inside," Tess said. "It can be a hundred people standing there, just waiting for us."
"Tess is right," Max said. "We have no idea what we're up against. We have to be careful."
"We can't risk hurting the baby," Maria said, determination in her voice. "We won't Maria," Tess said. "We will save the baby and get us all safely out of here. We have to."
"So maybe Michael and I should sneak over there and see if we can find a window or something, so that we can see what the place looks like inside," Max said.
"Okay," Michael agreed. "Let's go. Tess, you take care of Maria okay?"
"I won't let anything happen to her Michael," Tess said and smiled at him.
"Well, I don't won't either of you to get hurt, so just take care of each other," Michael said and then left to catch up with Max.
"So Tess?" Maria said when the guys were gone.
"Yes?"
"Do you think we can make it?" Maria asked and looked at the curly blond next to her.
"Of course we can make it Maria," Tess said and put an arm around Maria's shoulders. "We're going to get yours and Michael's baby back. I promise."
Maria was glad she had Tess with her. She couldn't believe how she didn't like Tess before. Well, maybe she had her reasons then, but now she really liked her.
About ten minutes later Michael and Max came back.
"We have good news and bad news," Michael immediately told them. "The good news is that there're only four people in the warehouse, but the bad news is that we couldn't see the baby anywhere."
"Well, she has to be there," Maria protested. "I'm sure of it." Maria started getting worried. What if she was wrong?
"Calm down baby," Michael said and took her in his arms. "If you're sure then I'm sure."
"So what are we waiting for?" Tess said. "Let's go kick some bad guy's butts."
"I couldn't have said it better myself," Max said with a laugh.
When the four of them reached the warehouse, Max gestured for them to stop. He quietly opened the door and looked inside. Then he closed it and turned to Tess.
"There are four men all sitting at a table, playing cards. Do you think you can distract them long enough for us to get in and find the baby?"
"I'm not sure how long I can do it. But I'll give it a try," Tess answered.
"Well, we have to take some risks if we want to do this," Michael said.
"Maria, you stay outside with Tess, while Max and I go inside."
"But…" Maria started.
"No buts," Michael said. "You're staying outside. It's safer."
"Okay, let's do this," Max said. "Tess are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," she answered and closed her eyes…
Michael slowly opened the door and stepped in. Max followed.
Obviously Tess was able to distract the men, cause they didn't notice him and Max.
He looked around the big room and caught sight of a door.
He ran over there, figuring they hadn't much time left, and opened it.
Behind the door was a small room filled with junk. Michael moved some stuff out of the way and saw a little crib lying on the ground.
He went to it and saw the tiniest little person he had ever seen. It was a little girl with big green eyes and a beautiful smile.
She waved her arms happily when she saw him. Suddenly Michael remembered where he was. He quickly picked up the baby, his daughter, and went out of the room to get the hell out of there.
When he came into the big room, he stopped abruptly when he saw Max lying on the ground, not moving, and the four men facing him, one with a gun…
TBC… Please tell me what you think. I want to know if it sucks...
