"Gordon, you're already going to go to jail as soon as I get to the police.
Don't dig yourself in worse by seriously injuring me," Dan said, standing in
front of Natalie protectively.
"I'm not going for you Dan... I'm going to slit her throat..." Gordon said,
pulling a pocket knife from his pocket.
"Then, I remind you what I said. You're gonna have to go through me. I won't
allow you to harm her, and you won't win against me," Dan replied.
Gordon didn't respond as he lunged for Dan's face.
Dan managed to block it, but was cut on the wrist with the knife.
Dan immediately went for Gordon's wrists. Grabbing the one with the knife in it,
he twisted as hard as he could, till he finally heard the satisfying crunch he
was listening for.
Gordon screamed in agony and dropped the knife on to the ground.
Dan quickly picked it up, and stuffed it in his pocket.
He turned back to Natalie, and helped her back up, and up the stairs leading to
the first floor of the house, and freedom.
As he reached the front door, he started talking to Natalie.
"Natalie, can you understand me?" Dan asked.
"Y..Yeah..." Natalie said, murmuring.
Dan opened the door, and helped Natalie out, and down towards the street.
Suddenly as he started going to his car, he heard the door to the house slam
open.
"Bring her back!" Gordon screamed. He had another knife, and was prepared to
kill for her.
Dan looked at him a second, then felt his pocket quickly, and pulled out his
cell phone. As Gordon staggered towards him, Dan dialed Casey McCall's number.
"Casey! I found her. I need help. Gordon's gonna kill me if I don't get help
soon."
At the Sports Night studio, Casey's mouth dropped open.
"I'm coming Danny, just hold on." Casey said, throwing down the phone, then
grabbing his keys.
He ran to Dana's office, busting the door open.
"Casey?! What's wrong?" She asked.
"Dan found her, and her captor is trying to kill him," Casey said, then started
to leave.
"Does Dan know him?" Dana asked concernedly.
Casey stopped, and didn't turn to face her.
"Dana... Gordon kidnapped her," He said quietly.
Never in Casey's life had he seen Dana up so quickly.
"Come on Casey, I'm going to go too," Dana said with resolve.
"Dana! This guys loopy! Not all there! Total nutcase! You want to go with me
still?!"
"Gordon doesn't know what he has coming to him, doing this. I want to see Dan
beating him senseless," Dana said, and together the two walked out the door.
