The Abduction (part 2/?)
As soon as they got the signal, three vehicles pulled away from the curb. A
panel truck and two cars quickly caught up with the chauffeured car. They had practiced their plan so many times and it was all falling together very nicely. They had followed the victim's car on several different occasions and it always took the same route. They were getting within a couple of blocks of the designated intersection and Karl was getting ready to give the signal to over take the black government sedan, when it veered off its normal course.
"Damn it" Karl shouted into the hand held. They had chosen their ambush point very carefully and now he was unsure whether to still chance it or not. The rest of his crew were beginning to think that this was ill fated and maybe they should try it again another night. Pleads for instructions were coming in over the hand held.
"Give me a minute to think", he shouts back. There is silence for awhile and finally Karl decides. "Okay, we are still going for it". Get the truck in front of the car now and at the next intersection we will over take it"
Eric's mind was elsewhere so he hadn't noticed the cars following them or the panel truck that was in a hurry to get in front of them. He was too busy wondering if the two people in the backseat would ever get a clue. He had witnessed a lot of interaction between the two of them over the past few months and had concluded that they were attracted to one another.
Eric pulled up to the intersection of N and 19 th Street and stopped behind a panel truck. It was blocking his view of the light, but he was sure that it had been green, but then again his mind had been somewhere else. When out of nowhere a car from the rear rammed into them and sent them flying forward into the truck ahead of them. The air bag deployed with such intensity that it momentarily stunned Eric.
Leo had just taken a hold of Margaret's hand when their car jerked forward with alarming force. They were both caught completely off guard. Eric had regained some of his senses and stumbled out of the car, but before he even got completely out a shot rang out from another car at their side and he fell back into the car.
Leo couldn't believe what was happening. But before he could even react, hands were dragging him from the car and into the street. He was still hanging on to Margaret's hand and she was being pulled from the car right along with him.
"Leo"! Margaret screamed. She couldn't believe what was happening. Were these people going to kill Leo?
The attackers were surprised to see another person in the car. They were only supposed to take one, but maybe two would even be better. Hands grabbed Margaret and she fought back. One of the attackers grabbed her by the hair and pulled her into the middle of the street. Margaret continued to struggle and the man slapped her hard against the face.
Rage erupted within Leo. "Leave her alone"! It had been years since he had been in a physical struggle, not since Nam. But his instincts came rushing back to him the second that he witnessed Margaret being hit. His Margaret!
Leo slammed his fist into one of their faces, trying to get lose and help Margaret. He was rewarded with a gun across the face. Leo fell against the car. The bloody nosed kidnaper lost it. The long night of waiting, his adrenaline rushing from the changes in plans had completely sent him over the edge. He repeatedly punched Leo until he slid to the ground.
Karl came up from behind him and pulled him off of Leo. "You fool, we need him alive".
"Look what he did to me, I think he broke my nose. He will pay for that"!
"Buddy, not now!" Karl was right in his face. "Lets get them in the truck and out of here."
Margaret stood in horror as the scene unfolded. She kept yelling for them to stop and tired to run to his side. Temporarily she got away and ran to his side. "Leo, .. oh Leo.." she shouted in horror when she saw the damage that the large kidnapper had done. But before she could even touch him, her captures dragged her to the back of the panel truck and tossed her inside. Someone pressed something over her mouth and she was out.
Buddy and Karl grabbed an unconscious Leo by the arms and dragged him to the panel truck and literally threw him in next to Margaret. They shut the door and jumped into their car and speed off into the night with the truck following close behind.
