While I know this might be cruel and unusual, I decided to check in with the Hardy Boys because we can't go an entire story without them, now can we? So, I will work really hard on the next chapter with the whole phone thing. Look for tons of drama and suspense!
Chapter 6: Pain
Pain, a searing, red hot pain ripped through his chest, or maybe it was his arm,his shoulder, it was everywhere. Bullets flew all around him, falling like hail from the sky. He tried to duck down, but found that every movement was torture.
"Are you coming?" Martin asked as he turned back to face the car.
"Hold your horses," Sam replied, slowly getting out of the car.
"Physical therapy going pretty well, huh?" He inquired, referring to her recovery from a gun shot wound.
She shut the door and rested her hand on her thigh before answering, "Do yourself a favor, don't get shot, it's not all it's cracked up to be."
"I'll try my best," Martin responded, a smile on his face.
His mind tried to cling to hope, any hope.
"Hold on man," he barely registered his best friend encourage. His every fiber was fight to stay awake, but he felt too weak.
"Martin, stay awake!" Danny tried to get his attention. He looked up, ignoring his own pain coming from his left arm, and watched the gunmen approach. He reached for his gun and his cell. Wait, the cell had dropped when the guns went off. They were rounding the car. Danny pulled his gun and tried to take aim, but the pain was blurring his vision. He pulled his finger over the trigger, but the man saw. He moved at the exact moment and the bullet wizzed past his head.
"Damn," Danny said, more colorful words running through his mind.
He never had time to re-aim. The men pulled him out of the car and into van. Danny recognized Dornvald who had his cell. "Shit," he thought. Another man handcuffed him, while the gunmen dragged in Martin. A blindfold was placed over his head, but he heard Adisa enter the van. He heard Dornvald click the cell and return to the car. The moment he jumped back into the van, they sped off.
Not exactly an up note.
