Terror in the Night Part 2
Tom was now franticly trying to work his way out of the ropes which held him captive.
He realized that their undercover assignment had worked all too well.
Now they were going to be the killers' next victims. He tried to figure out how long he had been out, and how much time they had before someone wandered down the alley and found the bodies, providing the killers
hadn't cleaned up and called the police, or someone noticed that six officers were missing and began a search.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sharp bang of the door as it flew open and slammed against the wall. He jerked his head up, a mistake that caused him to moan in pain before his eyes became focused on
the sight in the doorway.
A tall man held a bound and gagged Cassy by the arm before shoving her onto the mattress. She looked up at him with a murderous look as the slamming door cut off his maniacal laughter.
Her head hung for a moment until she finally looked around her new surroundings and her eyes fell on Tom.
She tried to speak, but all that came out was a mumbled sound. Tom took the opportunity to speak to her first. "Are you all right?" was the first thing he asked. She nodded her head as she began working her
foot out of her shoe. Tom was to confused to notice or think about why she would be doing something so strange and continued to shoot questions at her.
"Where are we, do you know? Do you remember whathappened? Do you know how long we've been here? Are you sure you're okay?" He paused to take a breath as Cassy shot him a 'be patient and wait' look. He watched almost laughing as her foot came free from the shoe and she bend her leg toward her head, using her toes to get the gag out of her mouth.
She sucked in a deep breath before smiling at the look on his face.
"Those yoga classes are coming in handy," she said. "And now that I can actually answer your questions, I have no idea where we are, they knocked me out too,"
Tom realized that in his joy of seeing her alive he had missed the fact that there was a bruise on the side of her face, but couldn't get a word in to comment as she continued, "I remember what happened, but I'm not sure how everything got so screwed up, I know we've been in this building for about 15 minutes, I woke up as they were putting me in my room, but I don't know how long it took to get here, and yes, I'm sure I'm okay. Are you?" she asked with a worried look to his bleeding head.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little sore," he said. "Why did they put you in here with me? Have they said anything to you at all about why we're being held here or why we're not dead?
"They haven't said anything to me about why we're here, but I'm not complaining about the fact that we aren't dead yet."
"Me either, I just wondered if they had said anything to you, because this is the first time I've talked with or seen anyone. I just woke up," he said with a hint of guilt.
"Well, that's not your fault, and I think that's the reason I'm in here with you. They were probably waiting for you to wake up. There's a camera in the corner, that's how they knew." Tom looked up surprised
to see the blinking red light, he hadn't noticed that when he was looking around.
"Don't feel bad, I didn't notice mine until ten minutes after I was in there. I guess we're both still a little confused," Cassy said when she noticed that the presence of the camera was something new to Tom.
"Well, I'm guessing its only about 11, when we started down that street it was about ten after ten, that that means that we have about 8 or 9 hours before its light out and people find the bodies, and about 10 or so hours before we're late for work and someone notices, if they haven't started looking already. I hope all those gun shots woke up someone, it'd be pretty hard not to, and that they're doing something about it."
"Me too," Tom agreed. "Well, I guess now we just wait."
"Wait for what?"
"I'm not sure I want to know."

Harry was just about to get ready for bed when the phone rang at 10:43.
"What is it?" he asked the officer on the phone.
"Yeah, I'll be right there. Thanks." The phone was dropped back into its cradle as Frannie looked over and saw the worried look on Harry's face.
"What is it Harry? What happened?"
"Someone reported gunshots over in the alley off of Oceanview. The officers on the scene identified the bodies there as the four officers I had covering Tom and Cassy. They were working undercover, and the bodies they found were supposed to be back-up, and now they're missing."
