SEATBELT WARNING! Things get kind of tense from here on out! Don't say I didn't warn you!
Chapter 26
Sue spent another couple of minutes showing Bobby some different signs and answering some of his questions. When Levi jumped up his paws on her lap, it startled her.
"Levi!" Sue laughed, not having realized how into the lesson with Bobby she'd gotten.
Bobby touched her arm and signed a little uncertain, DOOR . He smiled when Sue nodded he remembered the right sign. "I think he's trying to tell you someone's at the door," he said out loud. "It's probably Donna. I'll get it." He stood, happily walking to the door practicing some of the signs he'd just learned.
As he got close, the door burst open with such force it hit Bobby sending him flying against the wall. Caught off guard, he bounced off the wall only to double over as a fist connected with his stomach knocking the wind out of him. Dazed, Bobby tried to get to his gun, but pain shot through his head and he fell to the ground. Just before the darkness overwhelmed him, Bobby's mind screamed, SUE!
Sue felt the loud bang of the door hitting the wall, the vibration reverberating throughout the apartment. "What was that, Bobby?" Sue called aloud, turning gingerly on the couch to greet Donna and the kids.
The smile on her face dropped when she saw Bobby staggering backward from the door. Sue recognized the two men barreling in behind him as those that tried to grab her and Tina. Afraid for Bobby as well as herself, she struggled to her feet hampered by her bruises and sore ribs ready to fight.
She watched in horror as one of the men hit Bobby on the back of the head with the butt of his gun. As if in slow motion in Sue's eyes, he slumped to the floor unmoving.
The men then turned their attention to Sue. Backing away from their steeling glares, her focus never left the guns the men were waving around. Suddenly, Levi jumped on one of the men trying to protect his master.
"Levi," Sue shouted watching the man swat the dog aside as if Levi was a rag doll. Levi leaped back up but was grabbed and thrown into the bathroom locked away from being any help.
