Life Saving: Chapter Nine
Thanks for reading the last chapter and like I promised I will get a few more chapters up this weekend. I'm actually thinking of stopping at Chapter Ten, and then making a sequel to it. What do you think? Tell me in reviews. Be nice though! Here's your chapter!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------
Hobie sat on the stairs with his knees to his chest.
Mitch stood near the door talking on the phone with Newman. He was telling him to get someone else to cover their spots because they weren't going to be back in. Mitch hung up and walked over to Hobie. "Listen…" He began.
"No dad, I don't want to hear you say she'll be fine, that will make me worry more, and I have to go get her."
"Hobie you're not risking her life and yours. You know we have to call the police." Mitch said to him.
Hobie stood up. "You can't call the police! If you do they will kill her! That's what you want though isn't it?" Hobie exclaimed. He didn't know what he was really saying since he was so upset and mad.
"Hobie, I know I wasn't happy when you two got married but she's my daughter-in-law now and if you love her then all I can do is love her too. You know I want the best." Mitch said hoping to calm Hobie down a bit.
Hobie looked at his dad. "I just don't want anything to happen to her."
"I know you don't pal…I know…" Mitch said hugging him.
6pm when the beach closes
"I called everyone they are coming over." Mitch said to Hobie who was sitting at the bottom of the stairs.
Hobie nodded, he was still really mad and upset.
Mitch heard a knock on the door, everyone was here. He knew that Hobie was so mad and upset that if anyone tried to talk to him he wouldn't listen and would freak out again. Mitch opened the door and Newman, Caroline, Matt, CJ, Cody, Lani, Logan and Neely were all standing there. Neely just got back from vacation.
"Hey Mitch" Neely was first to say and walk in.
"Hi everyone." Mitch said leading everyone to the living room.
"How's Hobie?" Caroline asked.
Mitch looked around. "He's not doing too well. He's in the other room sitting by the stairs, where he's been for most of the day." Mitch explained to everyone.
"Would you like someone to try talking to him?" CJ asked.
"No, right now I think he just needs to be alone for a while." Mitch said to her. "But maybe a little later."
Hobie couldn't stand everyone talking about this anymore; he had to do something he had to save Beverly. Hobie stood up and looked into the other room everyone was talking over coffee, it was the perfect time to leave. He grabbed his car keys and walked to the front door; he looked once more into the living room and saw that no one was looking his way. Hobie opened the door and left. He quickly jumped in his car and drove off. He drove down to the pier to wait for Tanner. Hobie stepped out of his car and walk down the pier; it was only 7:30pm.
"Get off of me! " Beverly screamed at Tanner who had her arms tied behind her back.
Hobie quickly spun around and saw Tanner walking Beverly to a boat and tying her to the chair in it.
"Hey!" Hey yelled running over to them. "Let her go."
"Oh the husband isn't it? Come to save your wife? Well your about four hours too late."
"Let her go right now." Hobie said getting really angry.
"What are you going to do? Hit me?" Tanner teased.
Hobie swung his fist toward Tanner hitting him in the jaw. "That's exactly what I'm going to do."
Tanner shrugged it off and hit Hobie in the stomach making him double over, then took another swing hitting him in the side of the face.
"HOBIE!" Beverly screamed.
Hobie fell to the ground but got up quickly and tackled Tanner to the ground punching him hard.
Tanner's two friends jumped right in and grabbed Hobie while Tanner tied his arms back and hit him a few more times. Then they tied him to the boat, set it on cruise control and let it out to sea.
"Well that takes care of them. For good." Tanner said to his friends.
They all laughed and left.

Preview for next Chapter:
"Hobie you can't do this again!" Mitch said to his son.
Hobie spun around. "Dad I have to and I will. You can't stop me, no one can."
"Hobie please." Beverly said.
"Will everyone stop treating me like a child?? I'm sick and tired of my father doing it now you have to also! Are you taking his side now?" Hobie yelled.
Beverly didn't know what to say, it was the first time Hobie really yelled at her. She turned around and walked upstairs.
"Hob…" Mitch started.
"Save it dad." Hobie said leaving.
Enjoy! It will hopefully be up tomorrow! R&R!!!
