Chapter 8! Enjoy!
I didn't like the feeling I woke up with this morning. Not that it was a horrible day, there was just something in the air that made me believe something was about to happen. I remember last night when they came home, something had happened, they had found out something that was not to their liking. I almost didn't believe them, clutching Rabbit to my chest I remembered the events just that night before.
"Bobby, don't you dare try to tell me those lies...Jerry wouldn't do something like that..." Elizabeth said backing away with tears in her eyes.
"Baby girl...he took out money...he gave it to Sweets boys...what else could that mean..."Angel tried to explain to her. She swallowed her gasp and then stood against the wall. She couldn't breathe. Bobby walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him, eyes glassy from the tears trying to spill over. He pulled her close, it wasn't fair she had to find out like this...but there was no other way to tel her. She whispered something into his shirt, he couldn't hear her.
"Say again Possum?"
She lifted her head and looked up at him, "I said...can I go to Shana's...I need to get away...I cant handle this..." Bobby brought his hands and placed them on each side of her head, and kissed the top of it.
"Anything you want Possum..go upstairs to pack, call Shana, and we will drop you off"
Liz nodded and ran up the stairs.
And here I am...sitting in my jeans, Bobby's old jersey and a jacket. Shana sitting across from me drinking some hot chocolate we had just made. Suddenly I felt a napkin thrown at me. I shook my head out of the trance.
"What?"
"I asked you whats wrong...you seemed somewhat dazed. You okay?"
"Yeah I am fine...it's just, I have this strange feeling...something inst right"
I stood up and walked over to the window and looked outside, it was eerie...no one outside in the snow...no cars. Something was definitely up.
"Want to call Bobby?"
"No...I am sure he is handling everything like he always does..."
"Are you sure thats a good thing?"
I smiled, Shana always knew how to lighten the mood. I sat back down and took a sip of the chocolate.
"What excuse you use this time to not go to school" I asked smiling.
"Family emergency..."
I took her hand in mine and gave her a squeeze, without the blood, we were truly sisters. She smiled, suddenly a knock at the door interrupted our sisterly moment. Shana rolled her eyes and went up to the door. I heard a "Yes can I help you?" Next thing there was a "Liz! Run!" Before I heard a body hit the floor. I dropped my glass and I bolted straight for the back door, I could hear them coming after me.
I opened the back door and jumped down the steps , picking myself up as I ran toward the back gate. It was slippery outside, and I tried to control my footing as I ran. I braced myself for the next jump, it was a small gate so i could do it easily. I then headed toward my house, suddenly out of nowhere a pair of hands grabbed me by the waist and picked me up off the ground. I screamed, dropping Rabbit.
"BOBBY!"
It was the last thing I remembered before everything went black.
A/N: Now its the meaning behind the chapter title. Bobby POV
I sat on the steps of the porch staring at my hands, which still had Jacks blood on them. I shut my eyes and looked up, I watched as the police zipped up his body inside the bag. I just wanted to punch them and say they were doing a mistake. But they weren't...Jack was dead. And now, they were going to pay.
Green said something about Fowler being involved. Which was already enough for me, he was on the list, he wouldn't be breathing much longer. I stood up, "I have to go get Liz...and tell her"
"She wasn't here?" Green asked. Angel responded to him.
"We dropped her off at a friends house...Shan..Shann...Shana, that was it"
"You wouldn't happen to mean Shana Lawrence?"
I stood up from the porch.
"Why...what do you know Green"
"We got a call...about an hour ago right about the time you called, the grandmother...said she found her daughter knocked out on the floor unconscious she didn't know what happened"
"Shit"
I took off running to Shana's, it was only a couple of blocks away, so I knew I could make it there in no time. I didn't have time to tell Green what happened. Jumping over the fence I ran up the porch steps, skipping one each time to go faster. I ran into the house.
"LIZ! SHANA!" No answer. I walked around searching for them, walking into the kitchen I could see there were papers on the table, they looked like both Liz and I guess Shana's writing. I looked at the floor and I saw a broken glass with hot chocolate all over. I ran tot he back yard and I opened the screen running down the steps. There were fresh footprints...someone was running. Following them I came to a stop and held my breath. There was blood in the snow, and a stuffed animal. Walking over I crouched down and I picked up the doll. It was Rabbit...they had got here.
"FUCK" I screamed as I kicked the ground.
"Bobby I didn't mean to let it happen"
I turned around to see Shana standing their with a bandage wrapped around her head. I walked over and I checked out her wound. Then made her look directly at me.
"I need to know exactly what happened Shana"
"Okay..the doorbell rang, so i walked over to go get it, and when I opened this up this guy showed me his badge saying he was a detective and he needed to speak to Shana. I was going to let him in at first but then I noticed it. He was a tattoo...and it wasn't a tattoo police men , if that detectives have. So I screamed for Liz to run and before I could shut the door someone came up behind me and knocked me out...I'm sorry Bobby...I let you down"
I hugged her, she hadn't let me down, she gave me enough information to go by to find out who took my sister, and it was one step closer to getting her back. Pulling away from Shana I told her to go back inside.
"Your grandmother is probably worried about why your talking to some old guy. You need to rest, thats a pretty bad gash"
"I can take a few hits now and then"
I smiled and then watched as she turned and walked inside. This wasn't going to be easy.
Walking back to the house, everyone was waiting for me.
"Where's Liz?" Angel asked Frantically. I shook my head and handed him the stuffed doll. Angel took it from my hand and clutched it. I turned to Green.
"This is way beyond personal now Green. They killed my Ma, killed my brother, and took my baby sister. You better make sure that everyone knows Bobby Mercer is out for revenge now"
"Bobby, this will get solved"
"Bull shit" I spat.
"Hey don't you trust me...I got this scene off your back...self defense right. No harm, no foul...you will get your sister back. She is insurance. They want something from you, and they know she is the fastest way to get it"
"If they touch her..."
"they wont"
Green walked away and left the scene of the crime.
"Lets go guys...we got a funeral to plan"
They all followed me inside...this wasn't the end of the Mercers. No one could scare us, but this was, I repeat...the soon coming end of Victor Sweet, that is what I was sure of.
Sniff :( Jack is dead :( I didn't want his death to be actually in it. Just the aftermath...well because i chose it that way. Actually this chapter went through 3 different versions of what was going to actually happen. I know its short but its something right!
I hope you all enjoyed it.
