Chapter Five
Rory's eyes snapped open as she felt a hand clamp over her mouth. She was getting ready to scream, until she saw TJ's face looking down at her.
"Don't make a sound," TJ commanded. He then removed his hand, handing her some clothes. "Have these on before I come back, and be ready to go."
"Go where?" Rory questioned, confused.
"Just be ready, and do not make a sound," TJ commanded.
Rory just nodded her head meekly. TJ then quickly left the room.
Rory looked over the clothes. They were a pair of woman's jeans, about a size too big for her, a plain white woman's t-shirt, and a large gray hooded sweatshirt. There was also a pair of woman's tennis shoes, just her size. As she had yet to see her shoes since she first got here, she bet he looked at them for her size.
She went into the bathroom, for fear that he would return before she was ready. She quickly started to shed her Chilton uniform, glad to finally be rid of it, and quickly put on all of the clean clothes TJ had brought for her.
Once she was ready, she went back into the main room and sat on the cot waiting for him. She had no idea what was happening. Was she going home? Was the ransom paid?
Or was it something worse? TJ was not getting her ready to hand her off to that other guy, was he? No, it could not be that, TJ punched him out earlier. Why would he do that if he planned all along to hand her over to him?
TJ. She had finally seen what he looked like. He was younger than what she thought he was. He could not be any older than 20-21. She had to admit that he was good looking with his blue eyes and messed up blonde hair from running his hands through it one too many times. However she quickly pushed that thought away. After all he had kidnapped her, and who knew what he was about to do with her?
Fear started to creep up in Rory's stomach. What exactly was he planning on doing? Why was he having her change her clothes?
She had no time to work herself into a panic though, as TJ popped his head into the room, motioning for her to come. Rory reluctantly got up, to go to him, terrified of what was about to happen.
TJ grabbed her hand in his, holding it firmly as he pulled her along behind him.
Stepping out of the room, Rory looked around. They were in a basement. She did not have much time to look around, as TJ was walking quickly, pulling her along. He started up the stairs. When they reached the top of the staircase, TJ looked over to the living room, before heading in the other direction, out the back door.
Rory also looked over in the same direction, seeing another man lying on the couch. She guessed that must have been the mystery man. The living room had trash everywhere, mainly beer bottles and cans. It reeked of cigarette smoke. She felt relieve that TJ was taking her in the opposite direction or him, however still worried about where exactly they were going.
Once outside, Rory couldn't help but breathe in the fresh air. She had not been outside in five days. However she was not allowed to enjoy it, as TJ was dragging her alongside the house quickly. She noticed that it was a bit woodsy where they were. Out in the country a bit.
She saw a car up ahead, and figured that must be where they were going. She turned around as she heard a yell.
There at the front of the house stood the mystery man. Rory gasped as she saw the shiny metal in his hand.
"He has a gun!" Rory cried out in fear, as TJ continued on, ignoring the mystery man.
"You leave here, and you're a dead man Morgan! Both you and the girl!" the mystery man yelled, before raising the gun to shoot.
At the sound of the gun blast, Rory dropped to the ground in fear, causing TJ to stop.
"Get up!" TJ yelled at her, he grabbed her at the sides. They were so close to the car. He literally threw her in on the driver's side, getting in himself. He quickly started his old beat up car, seeing Zane approaching, still sending out bullets. TJ stepped on the gas, causing the car to leap to life, taking off. Rory banged her head on the dash board, before sitting back and grabbing her seat belt to put it on quickly. She then held on for dear life, looking back to see the mystery man getting in the black van to follow them.
"He's following us!" Rory cried out, as TJ took a sharp turn, then a few others, trying to lose the van. After a few more sharp turns, he was sure that Zane could not keep up, and got onto the freeway.
Once on the freeway, TJ relaxed a little. He glanced over at Rory's frightened form.
"Are you okay?" he asked, before putting his eyes back on the road.
"He was shooting at us," Rory said still in shock.
"Guns will do that," TJ said sarcastically, instantly regretting it as he saw the look on her face. "I'm sorry," he said softly. He then reached behind the seat grabbing a blanket. "Here, you might as well get some sleep."
Rory numbly took the blanket spreading it across her. She leaned her head against the window, however sleep would not take her as, her heart was still pounding at all that had just happened to her.
