Chapter 10:
Elicia was starting to get worried. Sara could tell by the look on the little girls face as they were locked in a dark room in the abandoned house.
"Sara," she whispered, crawling into the older woman's lap. "I'm scared. He said if I told he'd hurt daddy."
Rocking Elicia gently in her arms, holding her close, Sara shushed her "It'll be okay, your Daddy'll come get us." she reassured the girl. "I hope," she added silently.
The unusual quiet in the room was unnerving- compared to the loud hustle and bustle of the Vegas Strip- , most of Nevada was desert and she had no idea where they were, though she was pretty sure they were still somewhere near Las Vegas, the outskirts of it maybe, though that wouldn't help anyone find them as they had no way of knowing even a relative location of where to look.
The door opened, drawing the two captives attention. "Enjoying my hospitality?" Shane's voice asked, though he was still lost in the darkness of the room.
Sara scoffed, holding Elicia tight. "What do you want?" she mumbled.
He 'tsked' her, chuckling a bit as her eyes finally adjusted to the light and she could make out his figure in front of them, along with the shiny metallic barrel of a gun. "If I were you, I'd let me do the talking."
If possible Greg was even more hostile and defensive now that they actually had a lead. Sara's cell phone had one missed call on it, the number was blocked but Archie was working on it. Everyone at the lab had already been ruled out as the caller and there wasn't really anyone else who called it.
Assuming the person -presumably Shane- hadn't ditched the cell and had left it on, they could track it, or at least figure out where the call was made form and get a relative location out of it. Apparently Shane had some motive for calling it. The question was -What might that be?
He was pacing the break room floor now, Elicia's teddy bear in his arms. Nick and Warrick who were currently on a brief coffee break watched as Greg wore a hole in the carpet.
"Dude, can you knock that off, I've only been in here five minutes and you're making me dizzy..." Nick commented, grabbing Greg by the shoulders and stopping said irritating action.
Greg glared at him but sat down. "Sorry, just a little edgy here..." he mumbled.
The two other men nodded, sitting down on either side of him. "We'll find them." Warrick reassured him, knowing it probably wasn't helping very much.
"How do you know? Elicia said Shane wanted to kill her and me, so why'd he take Sara? Not that I'd want Elicia with him alone, but still. Why'd he bring Sara into it?" the frantic lab tech ranted.
Nick shrugged, Warrick shaking his head. "I dunno, man, but, you gotta believe they're still alive. Sara'll keep your little girl safe."
"Yeah, I know that." Greg replied, his head in hsi hands. "But who'll keep Sara safe?"
I know... that was short... again... but if I didn't end it there this chapter would've gone on forever, I'll update again soon! Review!
