"Shit!" Ellie cursed interrupting Sam in the middle of a theory.
"What?" Jonas asked her.
"I told my mom I'd be back by noon."
"So," said Jack.
"Its way past noon," Ellie rolled her eyes. "Shit, I was supposed to watch my niece. She's probably worried beyond return. My mom, not my niece, I'm dead. She's going to ground me till the next millennium."
"We'll have someone give you a ride back to your house and they'll inform your mom that you are needed for the investigation." General Hammond told Ellie to calm her down.
"Cool, can Jonas do it?"
"I don't know how to drive."
"Oh, Jack you can drive can't you?"
"General, please no!"
"Colonel I don't see why not."
"And Jonas can come too?" Ellie asked slipping out of her cursing mood.
"Yes Jonas may go as well."
"Goodie," Jack muttered his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Jack, Ellie, and Jonas Headed out of the base and to Jack's red truck where, Jack drove (of course), Ellie sat in the middle, and Jonas took shot gun. It took them about 15 minutes to get to Ellie's house. When they finally arrived all three headed up the stairs to Ellie's apartment.
Knocking a few times no one answered and Ellie suggested that she climb around back and then unlock the door from the inside (Ellie's apartment is the last and there's a long ledge leading to her bedroom window ).
"Are you nuts," Jack snapped.
"I've done it plenty of times,"
"That ledge is a good six feet away,"
"So,"
Jack rolled his eyes and gave up. Arguing with Ellie wasn't worth his time. To Jack's surprise Ellie easily made the jump and followed the ledge around the corner and out of his view.
Ellie slid over to her window and attempted to pry it open. It was locked shut! She always left it a sliver open in case she had to get in. pulling the dagger off her calf she slipped it in to unlock the lever that held her window shut. With in seconds the window popped open and Ellie repositioned herself to climb in. Pushing the blinds out of the way she saw a tall man wearing all black coming at her. Staring her right in the eye he pushed her back wards off the ledge.
Ellie clutched her dagger as she fell blindly to the ground wishing she had stayed in bed that morning. Landing lower back first into onto the gravel, Ellie let out an ear piercing scream.
Jack and Jonas stood waiting Ellie to open the door, when they heard a loud thud followed by a scream. Looking at each other they jumped from where they were and ran towards the back of the building.
Ellie held her kept her eyes shut tight and as the ringing in her bones seemed like it would never end. A strong grasp tightened around her arm and quickly pulled her to her feat. There was arguing in the background but she couldn't understand it. Her head ached too much to comprehend human speech. Her dagger was yanked from she sweat covered hands.
Opening her eyes slowly as she was being dragged, she didn't know where yet, knowing the pain that would follow. Looking at the man pulling her along she realized he wasn't Jonas or Jack. She screamed again and fought with what little effort she was capable of. Gun shots followed her feat fell out from under her and the man continued to drag her along with one arm, while firing a gun with the other.
Offering what little resistance Ellie could manage she slipped one foot behind the man's knee whacking it as hard as she could. He tripped, and the gun went flying from his hand. A momentary loosen of his grip and she slipped away. Running as quickly as she could away, the man began to yell but Ellie didn't have time to think. With in a second she tackled and a quick knock to her head and she was out cold.
Jack watched, still firing his gun, as Ellie slipped away from her captor only to be recaptured a moment later and knocked unconscious. Reloading his small shot gun and began firing another round as he ran forward at the apposing force. Taking out men more quickly from a closer distance he moved in Jonas covering him still he saw a black van pull up and Ellie thrown inside. Jack knew he couldn't do anything more as the rest of the men got in the van and drove away.
"What?" Jonas asked her.
"I told my mom I'd be back by noon."
"So," said Jack.
