Chapter 13

The Rescue

As they shimmered outside the warehouse the three of them looked around their surroundings. The warehouse was run down and weeds were all around them. A small well-worn path was a few feet from them. Gabe looked at Christian and then at Sarah.

"We ready?" Gabe asked.

"Yep." Sarah replied.

"Yes." Christian said.

"Okay this is how it's going to work Sarah your going to tell us if you can make out any voices and try and find Mac and Judson when you do send a telepathic message to me and Christian." Gabe ordered.

"Wait a minute what about you and Chris?" Sarah asked.

"Were going to go and find the kidnappers." Gabe explained. "If me and Chris don't answer in five minutes then get Mac and Judson out of there and don't come back in to the building, understand?" Gabe said with a straight face.

"Yes, I understand." Sarah said.

"Good now let's get going." Gabe said leading the way along the path.

Ten minutes later they were outside the warehouses door. Gabe opened the door and carefully slipped inside. Sarah followed and after that so did Christian, which he closed behind himself.

"Okay everyone remember the plan?" Gabe asked.

"Yep." Sarah and Christian said.

"Sarah can you tell us where the kidnappers are?" Gabe asked, but she was already on the job.

Her eyes were closed and it looked as if she was concertinaing. Two minutes later her eye's opened.

"Mac and Judson are down that hall to my right and the kidnappers are down that hall way third door on the left." Sarah said pointing to the hallway to her left.

"Good job." Gabe said. "Okay let's get this thing done and over with. Sarah go and get Mac and Judson out of here and call for and ambulance."

"Okay, and be careful." Sarah said turning and running down the hallway and out of sight.

"She'll be okay, don't worry so much we have the most dangerous job." Christian said trying to lighten the mood.

"I know she'll be fine. Come on lets go." Gabe said turning and walking in the opposite direction Christian walking after him and soon they too where out of sight.

As Sarah walked down the dark hallway she stopped and listened when she heard a plea for help.

"Please someone find us." The voice said.

Sarah recognized the voice as Mac's. She stopped outside the door and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge. "Damn it." Sarah said in frustration. Then from somewhere deep down inside she felt a power that needed to be let out. She levitated five feet in the air and kicked the door with all her might. The door swung open as Sarah slowly came back down to the floor. Carefully she stepped inside the dark room and saw a limp form lying on the floor. She recognized it as Mackenzie. She ran over and turned her over. There was a large cut on her face.

"Mac come on wake up." Sarah said softly. Slowly Mac's eyes opened and she sat up.

"Sarah?" Mac said. "What are you doing here and how did you find us?"

"Never mind that. Now where's Judson?" She asked urgently.

"He's over on the mattress he's hasn't woken up for over 12 hours." Mac whispered.

"Okay do you think that you can walk?" Sarah said walking over to Judson's limp form. She rolled him on to his back and saw a large gash on his forehead and it also looked like his shoulder was dislocated.

"Yeah I can walk, but what about Judson?" Mac asked as she saw Sarah lift Judson over her shoulder. "Never mind."

"Come on let's get out of here before some one realizes that you and Judson are missing." Sarah said leading the way out of the dark room.

Surprisingly they got out of the warehouse without being noticed. After she called 911 she sent a telepathic message to Gabe and Christian to tell them that she had successfully gotten Mac and Judson out alive. When know one answered Sarah started to get worried.

Back inside the warehouse Gabe and Christian both heard Sarah's message. They both knew that they couldn't leave. They had to vanquish Dakota first. Gabe and Christian stood outside the door Sarah had told them that the kidnappers where in. Christian kicked the door open and saw Dakota sitting at a large wooden table.

"Well, well look what the cat dragged in." Dakota teased. "If it's not Gabriel and Christian Patterson, the Two Protectors."

"Your prisoners are gone." Christian said.

"What how can that be you two have been outside my door for over fifteen minutes." Dakota said in surprise.

"You'll never know." Christian said before Gabe could give out how they had done it he didn't want him to know about Sarah, it was for her own safely. "Because you'll never hear the words when we tell you."

"And how is that?" He mocked.

"Now!" Christian yelled. Gabe threw a glass vial, which exploded at Dakota's feet. Together Gabe and Christian chanted. "Banish this evil from time and place, make sure that he never comes back to haunt are dreams and that he'll never hurt the good of this place." As they finished Dakota burst in to flames. All that was left was a pile of ashes.

"Good job Gabe." Christian said punching Gabe playfully on the arm. "But I think that you should tell Sarah that where okay.

"I'll tell her when were outside of the this retched building." Gabe said grabbing Christian's arm and shimmering out to where he felt Sarah was at. As he and Christian rematerlized he saw

Sarah and two paramedics lifting a stretcher in to an ambulance. Sarah turned around and saw

Christian and Gabe walking towards her. She ran over and gave each of them a big hug.

"Your alright, right?" She asked.

"Yes were both fine." Christian said reassuring her. "What about Mac and Judson?"

"They won't know the condition until they get to the hospital. I had to carry Judson; Mac said

That he had been out could for twelve hours. I'm going to go in the ambulance with them. I think that I might have sprained by wrist." Sarah said.

"Okay, just call when you want to come home. I'll come and shimmer you home." Gabe said.

"Don't tell Mac and Judson that me and Christian were involved, I'm trying to live without them and everything."

"Okay, I understand." Sarah said giving her brother another hug before walking back over to the ambulance. When she turned around they weren't there.

Gabe shimmered him and Christian back to his car. He unlocked the doors and he and Chris got in. Christian looked over at his brother and knew that something was bothering him.

"What's wrong Gabe?" He asked.

"It's just so hard to see Mac and Judson hurt and not be able to help them, to tell them that everything is going to be fine."

"I know, but you don't have to cut your self totally off from them, you can still talk to them and visit." Christian said.

"I know, but then I have to say good-bye all over again and it's just so hard." Gabe said tears starting to well up in the corners of his eyes. Christian noticed this and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"It's aright to cry." Christian said as Gabe lost control and broke down in to un-controllable sobs.

Christian reached out to Gabe who leaned over in to Christian's outstretched arms and cried. Ten minutes later when Gabe had gotten control Christian offered to drive which Gabe greatly accepted.
