Part 4
Note-Thanks for the great reviews, and sorry about the dialogue being jumbled that's not how I originally wrote it, once it is on the site the space disappears but I will try to fix it thanks for the help.
Peter Benton pulled up to the old run down motel, a chill ran up his spine as he saw Carter's jeep but nothing else. He quickly exited his vehicle and ran over to the jeep to look for anything useful. His search ended when he noticed a badge on the front seat. He ran back to his car and called the police station to tell them what he had found and ask for any help.
"Hello, can I speak with agent Kennedy?" A moment later a familiar voice greeted Benton.
"Hello, Dr. Benton what can I do for you?"
"I am here at the motel and there seems to be no police here but Carter's jeep is still here"
"My two agents just radioed us the good news of capturing the convict and they said they have your friend and he is just fine"
"But I found a police badge in Carter's jeep..."Benton read off the numbers
"Yeah that's one of my guys they must of dropped it while searching the vehicle don't worry about it"
"Ok, good..." Just then a sound caught Benton's attention it sounded like a cry for help "I heard a scream get someone down here. Now!" "Click" Benton ran as fast as he could, hoping to find the source of the cry.
He ran to the lobby where he believed he heard the scream he looked around the dusty room. It seemed old with stacks of newspapers by the door way and debris scattered on the floor. He heard a loud crash from behind a door labeled "BASEMENT EMPLOYEES ONLY"
...In the basement...
"Shhh... doc no one is around for miles it's just you and me" He lifted a chair and tossed it across the room "We can make as much noise as we want" Just then he heard the door to the basement open and watched as Peter Benton ran swiftly down the stairs.
Jay grabbed for his gun and knelt beside Carter with it aimed steadily at Benton he reached out and picked up his knife and held the point to Carter's back.
"Don't move, sit down over there" He moved the blade swiftly giving Carter a shallow but painful cut. Carter moaned in pain as Benton held himself back.
Jay placed the knife at Carters throat "Now I have two friends for the party" Jay pushed Carter aside and held his gun straight ahead of him while placing his knife in the back of his belt. "Stay right there or you'll ruin the surprise" Jay walked to a nearby closet and a moment later returned with a rectangular box.
He placed it on the table and pulled out a large blue cake.
"Just want to jog your memory doc" he glared at Benton "So Dr. B I presume, how nice of you to come"
Benton held Carter in his arms assessing him injuries. "Carter man can you hear me?" Carter shifted and nodded his head he clenched his fists as Benton shifted him to the floor and the pain in his arm and back elevated.
Jay used his gun to motion Benton to move away from Carter. Benton sat right where he was scared to leave his friend. Jay pointed the gun at peter then slowly aimed at Carter Benton slowly retreated his position by Carter. Jay helped Carter to his feet and rested him in a chair by the bright blue cake. Carter closed his eyes and willed the pain away but was fighting a losing battle.
Jay pulled the knife out and eased towards Carter but plunged the knife into the cake "So doc would you like the first piece?" Carter ignored him as he felt all of his fear slip away.
Jay moved to strike Carter. Carter pushed off the table to tilt his chair and fell to the ground to avoid the impending blow. He pulled himself away from jay only to be caught and pushed forcefully down on the cement. Jay embedded his knee in Carter's back. Benton realized that jay had forgotten about his presence and quickly lounged at him tackling him to the ground. Jay reached for his gun but Benton pushed it aside. In their struggle they knocked the table over causing its contents to fall to the ground they were both distracted as they heard the clanging of the knife making contact with the cement.
Carter had managed to pull himself to a sitting position by the phone he quickly dialed to police and explained the situation.
A light engulfed the room as two men in uniform rushed down the stairs yelling "Jay they chief knows about us..." they trailed off as they watched the fight.
They both retrieved their guns and ordered the fight to come to an end. Benton froze for only a moment before continuing the fight.
Within seconds one of the men grabbed Carter and threateningly stated "Stop, or I will kill him" The fight came to an end as Jay threw a sharp punch to Benton's jaw.
Note- more to come of course, I am just trying to figure out a way to bring the story to a close so any comments will help thanx.
