Chapter 16: Another One Bites The Dust
The mob man followed the new directions out to the hallway and saw another stupid teenager kissing his prey, this did not sit well with him but decided not to do anything about it in such a big crowd, he kept observing Rachel and waiting for an opportunity he was sure was coming shortly, even if the three Regans were there, they weren't good at keeping an eye on people. He saw the group of teens running up some stairs and how the excited look on their faces began to slowly fade away, except for one, his prey she looked relieved, he hadn't expected that, he had imagined her completely desolated, crying even but she looked determined, not at all upset. He knew that they hadn't won with a sheer glance at the rest of the group; good he wouldn't have to wait for another round of Broadway show tunes.
The two teens that had kissed his prey were now engaging in pitiful argument and the Reagans were distracted, no one noticed Rachel slowly drifting from the group, he wasn't sure if she had noticed it herself, she seem out of her mind or better yet way into her mind, she was so close to the back exit which he knew led to a deserted ally, so he deliberated walk up from behind her until she was mere inches from his face and say in a very slow tone "-Well... that's disappointing-" he enjoyed the way she seemed to freeze, he continued saying "-I really thought you were going to win...Oh well... let's get to businesses, shall we?-" she turned around and they were now face to face, he smiled when he saw the fear in her eyes steadily growing into panic, that made him oh so very happy.
Rachel felt relieved, she could put this hellish performance behind her and focus all her energy on next year's competition, because she would be damned if she left high school without her nationals trophy, caught in all her planning for next year she even forgot for a second the deep troble she was in, until she heard a very cold voice right behind her saying "-Well... that's disappointing... I really thought you were going to win...Oh well... let's get to businesses, shall we?-" Rachel felt all the blood in her system freezing and then rushing back to her heart, her mind was reeling, she turned around and came face to face with her gorgeous nightmare.
The mob man was mere inches from her he looked her straight in the eyes, then he looked beyond her as if not paying any attention, although his tightly wrapped fingers around her wrist said otherwise, she looked for Detective Reagan but he was far from her with his back turned, the mob man spoke again "- Don't make any noise and walk towards the back exit -" Rachel hesitated for a second and the mob man spoke again "- You don't want your friends to get hurt, do you?-" She shook her head in a barely perceptible manner, she eyed Detective Reagan again but he wasn't looking at her, the mob man saw this and said "- Detective loser can't help you, he's not good at keeping girls alive-" Rachel swallowed hard and began to walk towards the exit near the bathrooms, Kurt saw her and asked "- Where are you going?-" she didn't trust her voice so she just pointed to the restroom area, Kurt nodded not thinking about it too much.
Rachel walked as slow as she could but the mob man's hand in the small of her back kept her moving forward, she prayed to any deity she could think of that someone noticed her and the scared look on her face but unfortunately she look like a disappointed show choir girl, and currently there was an abundance of them; her prayers were answered in the wrong manner when Sunshine walked up to her and said in a small rushed voice "-Rachel I'm so sorry, you guys should've won, I only performed because you convinced me to and now you're out of the competition, that kiss was out of place but your songs were great-"she stopped when Rachel said "-not now Sunshine-" the mob man remained quiet, he didn't want to draw attention to himself but he kept pushing Rachel.
Sunshine continued walking beside Rachel, not noticing the guy walking behind them, she was blabbering about the performances until Rachel pushed the back exit door open and she asked "-Where are you going? Your group is over there-" Sunshine finished pointing right behind Rachel, she answered "-I just need some fresh air-" Sunshine asked "-I'll go with you, you shouldn't be alone in a strange city, you might get into trouble-" Rachel laughed and shook her head while saying "-You have no idea-" Sunshine finally saw the guy behind them and tried to pull Rachel closer but the guy moved with them, the mob man knew he had been spotted, he lean into Rachel's neck and ordered "-Get rid of her-" his lips brushed Rachel's earlobe "-Or I will-" Rachel breathed deeply and said to Sunshine "-I need to be alone, please-" her please sounded like a plea but Sunshine didn't recognize the tone.
Sunshine said "-Rachel I won't leave you alone-" then leaned to her and added "-there is an old guy behind you-" Rachel nodded and said "-I know now please go-" she knew she was in danger but she couldn't do or try to do anything as long as Sunshine was there, Rachel tried to walk a little more but Sunshine stood in front of them and said to the mob man "-Stop, she's not going anywhere with you-" the mob man laugh, Rachel thought it was a melodic yet sinister sound, and said "-and I'm guessing a little thing like you is going to stop me?-" even though Rachel couldn't see him she heard the humor in his voice, Sunshine said in an even louder tone "-If you don't let her go I will scream-" Rachel felt danger and said to Sunshine "-I want to go with him, he's my lover-" it was the first excuse she could think about but the lie felt flat, somehow Sunshine bought it and she blinked a couple of times, the mob man put his left arm around Rachel's neck and said "-that's right… now let us through-" Sunshine looked at Rachel and said "-Think about this Rache… he's much older than you and…-" she seem at lost of words and Rachel just wanted to throw the mob man's arm away from her "…What if he only wants to exploit you?-"
The mob man had had enough and he did not want this itty bitty thing to ruin his plans, for all he knew Detective fool had already noticed Rachel was gone, if she kept them any longer he could be ruined, so he said "-Enough!-" Taking his gun out and pointing directly to Sunshine's face "-Move or I'll shoot!-" He tightened his grip on Rachel's neck and Rachel begged with her eyes Sunshine would move, she yelped but she didn't move and she stubbornly said "-Let her go or I'll scream!-" The mob man smile and said "-No I wouldn't want that-" and shot straight to her forehead.
Rachel didn't hear the shot, she saw the look of shock on Sunshine's face before her body dropped to the ground in slow motion, she felt numb so when the mob man pushed her she just reacted, he kept walking and Rachel followed without paying much attention to anything, she didn't even cried. They were almost out of the ally when someone shouted "-Stop! Drop the gun!-" she heard the mob man sighing and he turned them both around, she saw a private security officer pointing a small revolver at them she saw his mouth moving but couldn't comprehend what he was saying, she only stared, the security officer said something else and she felt being pushed behind the mob man, she moved and just stood there until she heard a very loud gunshot and the security officer fell down, the mob man turned to face her but she couldn't react in any possible way, she felt being dragged but at this point she didn't care anymore, she was just a shell of a girl now, they arrived to an old parked car and the mob man pushed her in, the last thing she saw was Detective Reagan running outside then coming to a halt when he saw her in the mob man's car.
A very sassy Jesse was facing a very irate Finn but they didn't notice that Rachel was gone until Santana shouted "- Shut it ladies! We doesn't care and she don't care, she walk away like five minutes ago-" This got the attention of the Reagans who looked around in a frenetic manner but couldn't find her, Danny felt his stomach drop how could he have been so careless, his main witness was missing, she had disappeared right under his gaze, he got so caught up in those teens fight that he hadn't paid attention to her, she could be mopping somewhere or worse she could be in danger or the poker deck assassin could have her, Danny turned to his siblings and said "-Jaime parking lot, Erin bathroom!-" the three of them ran looking for Rachel they all froze when they heard a shot.
Danny was the first one to react and ran to the closest exit; he pushed the door open and saw a security guard bleeding on the floor, then he saw a small teen girl a few yards away, he knew she wasn't Rachel because of the color of her dress, Danny kept running until the end of the ally and saw the face of a very scared Rachel through a car window, he stop, he felt sick to his stomach, he knew he had royally screw thing up this time for one very small, tiny really, reason: the poker deck assassin was driving the car.
Author's note: so here it is, after nationals obviously this episode and all coming next are mi own inspiration no more vague (maybe not that vague) references to glee. I know is kinda of a cliff hanger but I was planning on not telling you who had been shot but I was feeling kind so I killed Sunshine Corazon and told you about it.
Thank you for reading and leave a review if you feel like it.
