Chapter 15

"So while Supergirl and her sidekick are wasting their time looking for you, you're going to answer my questions," Officer Ford demanded. He and some of the Coville followers had played the old bait and switch before Supergirl and Mon-El arrived at the house. While Ashley Ford drove the minivan away from the scene, making sure to attract attention, the van that had been used in the bank robbery carried Alex and Maggie away to a secondary location. The two law enforcement officers had been jumped once they'd gotten inside the Ford home by six people, along with the Fords, which brought the total to eight.

"You realize that kidnapping an FBI agent and an NCPD detective is going to land you in jail for a very long time, right?" Maggie reminded him. She was bleeding from a cut above her eye. The detective was trying to figure out where they were. Both she and Alex had been tied to some metal folding chairs with zip ties. The zip ties were tight and cutting into their skin. It would appear to be an office inside a large warehouse building. The cobwebs told her that it hadn't been used in a while.

"How much do you know?" Ford demanded, ignoring her comment.

"About what?" Alex spat out blood. Her right shoulder was a mess. One of the attackers had swung an aluminum bat at Maggie's back and she'd made sure to move in front of the blow. Once she went down, a couple of them started kicking at her. While she managed to block a few of the shots, one of them caught her square in the ribs and she'd passed out.

Now Ford kicked Maggie's chair, and she tried not to cry out, her left leg had been broken by the same baseball bat that had been used on her fiancée. He was obviously in no mood to play games.

"I believe the man is asking about what you know about what happened at the bank," one of his cohorts said.

"A bank was practically removed from existence. We're researching all the people who had safety deposit boxes. Ford's name came up since he had a box and he's a cop. Or he was. After this, he'll be enjoying prison in solitary so none of the other prisoners get to him," Alex spat more blood and it made Maggie wonder if one of her ribs had punctured her lung or something.

"You said we had to kidnap them! You said they knew too much!" A third man started shouting. Ford was losing control and Alex looked at Maggie. Neither one of them were in any condition to run away but if the situation devolved too much more they might end up as dead bodies.

"Your wife didn't get away. They've got her in custody," one of the men who disappeared earlier was back and obviously had a police scanner.

"That was always a possibility. We've been here too long," Ford said. He knew it wouldn't be long until Supergirl and Mon-El discovered that the two they were looking for weren't anywhere near the route his wife took.

"So what do we do with these two?" The second man from earlier asked.

"Gag them and leave them. They'll bleed out or starve before anyone finds them," Ford frowned.

"Wouldn't one well-placed bullet do the job better?" The third man wondered.

"You going to like it when the gun-shot analysis software that listens for gun-shots brings the cops down here before we can get away?" Ford asked. That made the man go quiet.

"Doesn't mean we shouldn't make sure they're dead before we go," another spoke up.

"Do what you want. The van leaves in two minutes and if you're not on it, you're on your own," Ford said and left the room heading for the van. One of the men, who'd been quiet the whole time, picked up the baseball bat, while the others gagged Maggie and Alex.

"Why don't you boys head for the van? Meet you in thirty seconds," the man finally spoke. Alex looked at him. She didn't remember him from the Ford house but that didn't mean what was about to happen was going to be good.

"Hold still and try not to scream," he said before placing the bat near Maggie's cut. She bled onto the bat and then he loosened the gags.

"It's the best I can do. I imagine if Supergirl hears someone calling to her in a few minutes, she'll show up," he told them. Both Maggie and Alex looked at him, unsure of what just happened. The man quickly walked out of the room, locking the door behind him.
