She turned and fled deeper into the building, into the darkness since Marc
was still tending to his bleeding nose. She crouched behind a bunch of
crates momentarily and thought she heard muffled cries coming from
somewhere near where she was. Bobby heard fleeing footsteps and figured it
was Kim. He tried to let her know where he was but everything leaving his
mouth was muffled thanks to the gag. He'd almost freed his arms but stopped
working the tape when he heard the footsteps. She craned her head towards
the direction the sounds were coming from and peered into the darkness
around her, hoping to be able to see where Bobby was.
"Bobby," she whispered softly, listening for a reply.
When she heard a muffled response she carefully began to move towards the sound and found him bound to the chair. She quickly removed the gag completely and whispered, "Are you ok?"
"I'll be fine. Jimmy got Keira out of here so she's safe." He replied quietly as she began to undo the tape on his wrists and ankles.
Bobby heard the three moving in their direction and said, "Go take cover. I'll take care of the rest of the tape."
"I'm not leaving you here. I know what these lunatics are capable of." She whispered worriedly.
Before Bobby could say anything, he saw Kim pulled backwards, away from him. Tony had figured that he'd look where Bobby was to see if she was there, and sure enough there she was crouched in front of him. He silently moved towards her, his massive hand grasping her by the back of the neck and pulling her back and up to her feet. A cry of surprise escaped her mouth when she felt his hand put a viselike grip on her and pull her away from Bobby. She struggled against the hold Tony had her in but the pressure that he was applying to her neck eventually caused her to stop fighting.
"I should have known you'd be here." Tony snarled, pinning her against a stack of crates in the warehouse.
Craig heard his words and called out, "You find her?"
"Yeah, and she's not going anywhere either." He replied, imagining a look of infuriation was etched on Bobby's features.
Craig and Marc moved towards them through the dark warehouse and Craig said, "Go get the kid."
Marc nodded in reply and headed towards the offices close to the rear entrance. As he opened the door he heard nothing. No whimpers or crying, complete silence. He turned on the light in the small office and saw that she wasn't there and headed back out to where Craig was and said, "She's gone!"
"How could you loose a baby you dumb ass rapscallion!" Craig roared in Marc's face, his voice echoing loudly through the warehouse.
Tony looked at Kim menacingly and spun her around to where she was face to face with him.
"What did you do with her?" he asked coldly, tightening his grip on her neck.
"Nothing!" Kim replied bitterly, her neck aching from the grip he'd had on her but thanking Jimmy silently for getting her out of harms way.
"I know you're lying to me! Where the hell is she!" Tony roared angrily at her.
"She's somewhere safe away from you!" she yelled heatedly, knowing she'd probably pay for what she'd just said but didn't care.
Bobby heard Craig yell, "Marc turn on the rest of the lights!" and saw him heading in the direction of Tony and Kim.
Since no one had been paying attention to him, he'd taken the opportunity to free his legs since Kim had gotten the tape off his arms and wrists. Tony flung Kim to the floor and began to kick her in the ribs and stomach. She curled up trying to dodge his blows but it wasn't helping ward them off. When the lights came on he momentarily stopped and waited for his eyes to adjust to the newly lightened building. Kim lay trembling on the floor when she felt him stop kicking her and noticed lights had been turned on. As she opened her eyes, the light was blinding at first until her eyes became adjusted to it. She tried to inch away from Tony but the pain from where he'd kicked her was too immense and she couldn't move away.
As soon as the lights were turned on, Jimmy noticed the light and figured something was up. He went back to the window and saw Craig pull a little black box from his pocket and press a single button on it. Jimmy watched as he poured what he assumed to be gasoline or some other kind of accelerant onto several boxes of dynamite and Marc did the same on the other side of the building. He raced back to the Explorer and grabbed his phone from the dashboard and paged Alex.
Kim still was on the floor, her forehead resting against the cold concrete, trying to control her breathing where the pain was so immense. Each time she tried to breathe excruciating pain radiated through her. Tony had moved to where Marc and Craig were, keeping Craig from lighting into Marc over the baby being gone. She uncurled slightly but the movement was agonizing to her tender stomach after having been kicked repeatedly. She was starting to feel dizzy from where she was breathing so fast because of the pain and knew she had to stop and slow her breathing down because if she didn't she'd start to hyperventilate. It took everything she had to stay awake and force herself to slow her breathing down and gradually was able to start taking slow deep breaths and felt the dizziness going away but the pain was still unbearable.
No one was paying attention to Bobby and he'd gotten up and found a pipe near by and picked it up. He didn't know where Tony had taken Kim to and slowly moved through the lit warehouse looking for her. He heard the angry shouts of Marc and Craig, and knew to stay away from them. Tony had gone back to where Kim was, standing over her sneering tauntingly at her.
"Not so tough now are you?" he said menacingly, taking his foot and rolling her over onto her back, causing her to cry out in pain.
Tony just stood there laughing, where as the grip Bobby had on the pipe he'd found grew tighter when he heard her pained cries. She had one arm wrapped protectively over her stomach as she lay on her back, forcing tears back from the pain that was coursing through her. Bobby cautiously moved towards where they were and saw the same person who'd stormed their apartment standing over her. He saw her face contort in pain each time she took a breath and figured that the son of a bitch standing over her was the cause of it. He moved cautiously towards them and when he was close enough, took the pipe and swung it as hard as he could, connecting with the guy's kidneys. Tony felt what appeared to be a pipe contact with his side right about the level of his waist. He turned around and saw it to be Bobby and glared at him for a moment.
"Here to save her?" he asked tauntingly, glancing back at Kim on the ground.
Tony figured since he'd taken him once he could do it again and moved forwards not caring that his opponent had a pipe. But this time however nothing could stop Bobby. Just looking at this guy enraged him, especially since he was the one who'd stormed into their apartment, kidnapping him and Keira, but adding more fuel to the fire was what he'd done to Kim. As soon as Tony was away from Kim he swung the pipe again connecting with the guy's stomach and then in the back of the legs causing him to crumple to the ground. With him stunned on the ground he rushed over to Kim to see if she was ok.
"Kimmy are you ok?" he asked, kneeling on the ground next to her.
She shook her head no and said, "It hurts to breathe."
Bobby looked at the massive bruising on her stomach from where Tony had kicked her and said softly, "I know, we'll be out of here soon."
He went to help her to stand when he heard Craig shout, "I hope you all like it in hell because it won't be long now!"
Several minutes later the first container of gasoline soaked dynamite exploded around them. Bobby moved to cover Kim the best he could, since he wasn't sure where the explosion had come from. After the roar of the explosion had subsided he got up and picked her up off the floor and put her down on her feet since it would probably be easier than her trying to stand on her own with the bruising on her stomach.
"Come on Kimmy, we've got to get out of here." He said quickly, making sure she was ok before they began to move through the now burning building.
Alex was talking to the group around the table at the firehouse when the pager began to dance across the hard wood table. At first she stared at it briefly before grabbing it and looking at the number illuminated on the view screen.
"That was Jimmy! Let's go!" she yelled, rushing for the stairs.
"Bobby," she whispered softly, listening for a reply.
When she heard a muffled response she carefully began to move towards the sound and found him bound to the chair. She quickly removed the gag completely and whispered, "Are you ok?"
"I'll be fine. Jimmy got Keira out of here so she's safe." He replied quietly as she began to undo the tape on his wrists and ankles.
