Chapter 4
Nina walked out of the diner finally calmed down after her incounter with that jerk. She glanced around the parking lot and noticed that it was pretty deserted. Looking at her watch she realized it was alot later than she thought. She needed to get back to the hotel and get some sleep so she could get up early and develop the film she had tucked away in her pocket.
Pulling her keys out of her pocket she heard a sound from behind her and whirled around as a large figure came upon her. She had no time to scream as his hand crushed her mouth.
"Don't make this any harder than it has to be Nina."
It was Nick. And looking behind him, she saw he had Antonio with him. How had they found her?
"You've caused us enough trouble, its time to go home."
Over her deadbody.
She brought her foot down on his and elbowed him in the ribs in the next moment.
"You bitch!" Nick screamed while he withered in pain on the ground.
But she wasn't about to stick around.
She tried to make a run for it but didn't make it very far.
She felt Antonio's fist grab ahold of her hair, felt him tighten his fingers and pull back.
Oh god, she wasnt going to make it.
Nick got up off the ground, and humbled towards them. He had murder in his eyes as he stopped in front of her.
She looked wildy around hoping tht someone ANYONE would come to her rescue and realized that it was not to be.
"Your going to pay for that!" Nick yelled at her as he backed handed her so hard she feel to her knees on the ground.
The last thing she remembered before her world faded into blackness was the taste of her own blood in her mouth.
Where was she? Was she dead?
She rolled over and winced in pain.
Nope not dead, the dead feel no pain.
Her head ached and bringing her hand up, she discovered way. She had a huge gash on the side of her head and it was oozing blood.
Looking around she realized she was trapped in the trunk of a car.
How long had she been out?
But there was no time to think about anything, she had to get out before they stopped the car. It was her only chance. She fumbled around tell she found what she was looking for. The latch that would release the door. Taking a deep breath she prepared herself for the jump, knowing it could very well end in her death.
And she jumped.
Phillip walked around the darkened park as he did most nights, thinking about the mess his life had become. Just a few months ago things had been perfect. He, Belle, Clarie, and the baby they were planning on making where a happy family. And all that changed, with one piece of paper, one DNA test, and someone messing around with their lives. He had to find out who was behind all this, who took everything away from him.
"Damn!" He stumbled over something. Something big.
What the hell...
He blinked twice before realizing what he was seeing was real.
It was a person!
He hunched down and carefully rolled them over...
It was her!
The girl who'd jumped in front of his car at the Brady Pub. She was a mess. Her whole upper body was covered in blood. What had happened to her? He looked for a pulse and finding one he whipped out his cellphone and dialed 911.
"This is Phillip Kiriakis, I'm in the Salem Downtown Park, and I need an ambulance right away."
He shut his phone and layed his jacket over the poor girl's body. Who had done this? And why? Hopefully she would live to tell the tale.
