Chapter 199
Sara didn't turn around but started walking faster towards the car.
"Where are you going beautiful?" the guy said walking behind her.
Sara felt her heart beat out of her chest. She started breaking into a jog but suddenly somebody jumped up in front of her. With one man in front, and one behind her she was virtually trapped. The guys started closing in on her. Sara looked around desperately but the street was deserted.
Sara made a split second decision and started sprinting across the street towards an open convenience store in the distance. She felt somebody grab her jacket and pull her back hard. She struggled but eventually stumbled to her knees and felt somebody pin her down on her stomach. She kept struggling, desperate to be free. Her lungs were burning and her vision blurred through her tears.
"Settle down sweetheart" said the one guy as he pushed her face hard into the pavement. Sara was now hysterical. She was reliving every moment of her abduction. She thrashed around and screamed as loud as she could but not a lot came out as her vocal cords, frozen with fear, betrayed her. The men pulled her into an alleyway and roughly threw her onto her back.
"Please… please don't hurt me… please just… just take what you want" cried Sara.
"Shut up" said the man on top of Sara. Sara started screaming but soon felt a dirty hand over her mouth. Sara was still fighting under the man.
"Get her pants" shouted the one on top of Sara. Sara was now shaking uncontrollably through her tears. Sara felt her pants being pulled down hard and fast and somebody hold her legs down. She felt the hand leave her mouth and instantly screamed again. Sara felt a hard slap across her face. "I said shut the fuck up" the man shouted before hitting Sara a second time.
Tegan finally hobbled outside after taking her time in the toilet. She saw the female bartender standing a few feet away lighting a cigarette. "Hey" she smiled before looking away. A minute or two later Tegan became a bit on edge. She looked up the street towards where they parked but Sara was nowhere to be seen. "Something wrong?" asked the bartender. "No… um… Sara went to get the car. Should have taken her only a few minutes, she's been gone a long time… something's not right" said Tegan sounding worried. "Maybe she just went to put in fuel" said the girl as Tegan dialed Sara's number. "No she wouldn't do that…. I know when something's not right with Sara… Something's not right…. And she's not answering her phone" said Tegan now looking scared. "You want to go look for her?" asked the bartender. "Yeah" answered Tegan looking worried. "I'll come with you, where did you guys park?" said the girl. "That's okay" said Tegan. "I insist. I'm on my break anyway" said the girl.
"Please" whispered Sara out of breath. The man violently ripped her shirt open and Sara cried. He put his free hand on Sara's breast and squeezed it. "Oh this is just too lovely to be for ladies only. So perfect... you're so hot... I'm going to fuck you like you've never been fucked sugar tits" he grinned.
Tegan suddenly popped into Sara's mind and her fear peaked. She silently prayed that Tegan would stay away! The man bent down and breathed into Sara's neck as he started kissing her. Sara thrashed around. "No… no leave me alone… no!" she breathed weakly. "Ohhh you're really turning me on… I have a hard on just feeling your breath" whispered the creep. He grabbed Sara's hair and yanked her face towards him. "Hold her down" he said to the guy next to him and started unbuckling his pants. Sara felt dizzy and nauseous, the world was spinning as she started hyperventilating.
"Get the fuck off her" Sara heard somebody shout. "Tegan?" she whispered. "Tegan no… get away" she scrreamed. "Oooooh Jimbo… now we each have one. You can have the broken one" laughed the asshole on top of Sara and whipped out his erect penis. The guy on his knees holding Sara's legs down started getting up. Tegan looked down and saw Sara's naked legs. "You fucker!" Tegan shouted and threw her one crutch on the floor. She took the other crutch with both hands and swung it like a baseball bat. The crutch hit the back of the guy's head hard. His hands flew to his head and he looked livid. Tegan's crutch hit his head again before he even knew what hit him the first time. Tegan was shouting. "Aggghhhhhh….. get away! Get away!". She kept hitting until the guy hit the floor, seemingly unconscious.
"You little bitch" shouted the guy who had since gotten up from Sara after he punched her in the face. "Stay away from me" shouted Tegan holding up the crutch. The second guy knew what was coming and he grabbed the crutch as it flew towards him. He was fast and strong. He ripped the crutch away and grabbed Tegan's jacket and pushed her hard agains a wall. This winded Tegan who was already breathing quite heavily. The man took the crutch and pinned it under Tegan's jaw with both hands, the action lifting Tegan onto her one set of healthy toes.
"Please... please" Tegan wheezed struggling to get free. Her hands trying desperately to move the crutch away from her rapidly closing airway. The guy lifted his arm and punched Tegan hard in the stomach. Tegan fell down on her knees holding her stomach. The guy hit Tegan in the face and her hands fell to the floor.
"Stop... stop... no" shouted Sara still on the ground. She wanted to get up to help Tegan but her legs were complete jello. Tegan felt rage like never before and before she could think she punched the guy hard, right in the nuts. "Fuck you" the guy shouted holding his package. Tegan got up and started wildly swinging at the guys face and as soon as he moved his hands away from his package she kicked him as hard as she could in the groin with the foot still wearing the air brace. The guy was in pain but livid.
"Stop right there" Tegan heard a female voice just as the guy lifted his hand to hit Tegan again. The bartender stood at the entrance of the alleyway holding a gun. "Don't move fucker. The cops are on the way" she said.
Tegan crawled over to where Sara was still lying on the pavement. Sara was in the fetal position holding her arms over her face shaking uncontrollably.
"No... No" she cried softly.
"Sara... are you okay? Sara... Sar... it's Tegan... Sar it's okay... did he hurt you... Sara?" said Tegan through desperate tears.
"Tegan" whimpered Sara and took her arms away from her face.
"Come here" said Tegan and lifted Sara's upper body. She took her in her arms and held her tight. "It's okay... it's okay... you're safe now... he won't hurt you. The cops are on the way" she whispered.
A sudden, loud bang rang through the air and Tegan whipped her head around. She saw the attacker fall down to the ground. He obviously tried to make a run for it. He clutched his leg in pain. "I told you to stay put mother fucker" said the girl.
The two nice young guys from the bar came running around the corner. "They cops are on the way" the one yelled. The one looked horrified to see Tegan and Sara on the floor.
"Mam, are you okay? Did he hurt you? Are you okay?" he asked sounding horrified.
"Yeah, just give us a minute" said Tegan holding her hand up to him.
The guy that got a crutch to the head was awake now and moaning. He sat up holding his head. "You bitch" he seethed and started getting up.
"Tegan" whimpered Sara into Tegan's neck.
"Don't move asshole" said the bartender.
"It's okay Sar... it's okay" breathed Tegan. She took her inhaler out of her jacket pocket and took two deep puffs trying to control her breathing. She calmed down a bit when she heard sirens in the distance.
"Sar... let's just... get your pants up" said Tegan softly pulling up Sara's pants with great difficulty. Sara just clung onto Tegan desperately, seemingly in shock. Tegan gave up and held Sara tight. One of the nice young guys took his jacket off and handed it to Tegan who put it over Sara's naked legs.
"Fuck... fuck" breathed Tegan in tears. "Are you... breathing okay?" Sara cried.
"I'm okay... I'm okay" said Tegan wheezing. Her foot was throbbing again after the kick and the adrenaline that masked all pain earlier was slowly leaving her body.
The next minute two cop cars pulled up followed by an ambulance. Tegan and Sara hung onto each other shaking. "It's okay Sar... it's okay" Tegan wheezed.
A female cop knelt down next to the girls. "Are you two okay?" she asked softly. "Tegan needs help" breathed Sara.
"I'm okay... I'm okay" said Tegan weakly. Sara could feel Tegan's tight grip loosening. She knew Tegan was losing steam fast. "Help her" cried Sara.
"We're going to need another ambulance" she said to one of the cops cuffing the guy that got the crutch to the head.
Tegan took another puff from her inhaler but she knew she needed something stronger... fast.
"What's your names?" asked the cop. "I'm Tegan... this... is Sara" gasped Tegan. "Okay Tegan just lie down for me" said the cop. "Oh... okay" breathed Tegan and lay down still clutching Sara's hand. "Carla, I need a medic over here" the cop shouted towards the medics bandaging what seemed to be a flesh wound to the first attacker's leg.
"Just take deep breaths" said the cop kindly. Sara looked down and suddenly realised her pants were still on her ankles. She pulled them up with shaky hands.
"It's okay Sara... take it easy" said the bartender now knelt down next to Sara. "Thank you... thank you" whispered Sara looking into the girls eyes. "No problem. Knew this gun my girlfriend makes me carry when I work nights would come in handy some day" she winked.
Sara turned to Tegan. A medic was putting an oxygen mask on her face. "I hear lots of wheezing, we're going to have to nebulise and start a line. Pulse ox is down the drain" said the medic. Another ambulance had since pulled up and the medics were directed straight to Sara. "I'm okay... I'm okay" said Sara pushing them away. "Mam we need to just make sure... It's okay, we're here to help you" said the guy. "No I'm fine... help Tegan... Get away from me" yelled Sara.
"I think we need a female here" said the guy to his partner. A female medic knelt next to Sara. "Hi, I'm Katy... I'm here to help okay" she said softly. Sara gave a nervous laugh when she heard her name. "Okay, Sara... lie down for me. I'm just going to asses your injuries. It's okay... you're safe" she said and gently guided Sara down. Sara pulled her legs up defensively. "It's okay... try and relax now, you're safe" said the girl again.
"Tegan... are you breathing a bit easier?" asked the male medic attending to Tegan. Tegan just gave a thumbs up with her arm still over her eyes. "Tegan... Give me your arm now... I'm going to shine a light into your eyes okay" said the guy. "Pupils equal and reactive" he reported to his partner who was starting an IV. He wrapped a BP cuff around Tegan's arm. "BP's low, 100 over 50. Let's get ready to move them" he said.
"No I'm fine, just... give me a minute" mumbled Tegan. Sara didn't say a word and just cried softly as the medic poked around her abdomen. "Does that hurt Sara?" asked the medic. "No" cried Sara.
"Sara's BPs 150 over 110... pupils equal and reactive but she's obviously traumatised. Pulse is 110. Abdomen soft and non-tender, lungs sound clear. Lots of bruising forming already. I think we should have this checked out in the ER" said the medic.
"No... We just want to go... home... um... to our... hotel" said Sara. "Hopefully you'll be able to do that in a couple of hours okay... we need to take your friend... or is it sister... to the ER anyway. Did you hit your head Sara? What else hurts?" asked the medic inspecting the wounds on Sara's face. "I... I don't remember... I think so" said Sara with a shaky voice. "What hurts Sara?" asked the medic. "Um.. I.. don't know... my face... I'm okay" mumbled Sara.
"Is she okay? She has problems with her breathing... is... did that fucker hurt her?" cried Sara. "Calm down Sara. It's okay... she's okay. We just need to make sure" said the medic stroking Sara's hair. Sara turned her head towards Tegan who still seemed to be struggling to breathe. Medics were attaching her to a heart monitor. "Tegan... Tee... oh God Tegan" cried Sara. "Sara it's okay... she's going to be okay" said the girl.
The medic tried to put a spinal collar onto Sara's neck. "My neck's okay!" said Sara. "It probably is but it's just a precaution" said the medic. "No! It's fine" protested Sara. The medics gave up on the collar and rolled Sara onto a back board and lifted her onto a gurney. "Tegan!" shouted Sara.
"I'm here" mumbled Tegan. "Tegan! No, I'm not going without her... Tegaaan!" screamed Sara. "Sara calm down... we'll take you in the same ambulance... just relax now" said the medic. "Tegan!" cried Sara trying to free herself from the gurney straps.
"Sara... Sar... I'm here... it's okay" said Tegan out of breath. "Stay still Tegan... don't talk just take deep breaths" said the medic and turned to his partner. "Sinus tach on the monitor, pulse is 130" he said looking worried.
"Sara" grunted Tegan and tried to sit up. "Stay still Tegan... stay still... breathe for me" said the medic and pushed her back down. "Sar" she breathed again. "Sara... Tegan's right here okay... she's alright. She wants you to know that" said the medic loudly. "Thanks" whispered Tegan under the oxygen mask.
Sara lay sobbing on the gurney as the medics put a cervical collar on Tegan and lifted her onto a gurney. "Let's roll... her sats aren't great yet" said the medic. The medics pushed Sara into the ambulance first followed by Tegan. Tegan couldn't turn her head with the collar on but she held out her hand. "Sara... I'm here" she breathed. Sara grabbed Tegan's hand and squeezed it. "You're okay Tee... it's okay" said Sara through her tears.
The doors of the ambulance slammed shut and Tegan closed her eyes to try and focus on her breathing. "Try and stay awake for us Tegan" said the medic. "I'm completely awake... I was just... taking a moment" said Tegan softly. Tegan felt her airways open up from the nebuliser and the intravenous medication as she listened to the sirens of the ambulance. "Do they... have to put those on? Sara's... traumatised already" said Tegan. "Can we kill the sirens please?" asked the nice medic, Katy. The sirens went silent and Tegan listened to Sara's stifled sobs next to her. She felt a tear roll down her cheek and she tightly squeezed her eyes shut.
