Streets of Chester's Mill

(S01x07 – Part 2/3)

The situation wasn't as bad as it had been the day before. There were still people out on the streets who decided the law did not exist in Chester's Mill anymore and it was now a free country to do whatever they wanted to. But at least it wasn't half of the town anymore. Barbie was walking on the streets looking for those who were still out there making trouble. Unfortunately the town wasn't the safest place yet. He already caught some teenagers who were thinking that breaking into a shop – which was anyway already empty – was the biggest fun of the year. It was easy enough to get the kids, the moment they saw him they tried to make a run for it but he easily caught them. They were just teenagers looking for trouble so he did not handle them too hard either. Just enough that they would not think about doing something like that again. They seemed anyway frighten enough from him. His name became famous in the small town within this one week. And surprising as hell the people connected it with law and justice. The reality of course was way different but to be honest it was hard to decide what reality was anymore. This was really a different world under the dome. A second chance, a new beginning. In the end he and Linda agreed to let the kids go, they were not their real issue. Some bad guys like the Dundees were still out there, armed and ready to take whatever they thought they needed. So Barbie was once again out on the streets looking for the brothers or their friends.

It was one of his lucky days it seemed. He just turned a corner when he spotted one of the Dundee brothers rounding the other corner with a long tube in his hand. He smelled like petrol. His instincts kicked in immediately as he silently made his way to the corner and leaned against the building to peek around. The Dundee brothers were armed and dangerous. He had seen what they did last day with Rose and Angie. Now most likely they found someone who still had a car up and running and they were about to steal the petrol. Carefully he glanced around the corner. There was a car all right in the middle of the street, the older brother was pointing a gun at the driver while the other one drained the petrol from the car. He analyzed the situation quickly. He could try to unarm them and take them to the police station himself or call for Linda and let her do the dirty job. He peeked around the corner one more time. The brothers were amateurs it was obvious. The younger one was scared like hell and the older one holding the gun was unfocused and uncertain. He could easily walk up to them, unarm them, report to Linda and let her handle the rest.

Once making up his mind he slowly and silently walked up behind the brothers his gun aimed at the older one who was still pointing his gun at the driver. As he got closer he got a good look at the car and its driver. Suddenly his eyes widened and his heart skipped one beat… or two and he froze for a moment unable to move or breath or think. It was Julia.

What the hell she was doing out there driving a stranger's car? How on Earth she always managed to end up in the middle of one or another life threatening situation? Just as his heart stopped beating for a moment now it started to hammer so fast he could hear it in his head. Adrenaline kicked in and his eyes narrowed on the Dundee brothers his hold firm on his gun. They took one more step toward Julia and they would be dead. Those ugly pictures about what they did with Rose and tried to do with Angie kept running through his mind, his anger rising fast. But here was Julia's life on stake and that made the anger running through his veins froze immediately. Instead of letting his wrath take control of him, making something that would put her into unnecessary danger; he needed to focus solely on saving her. He needed to stay calm and focused.

He got closer and closer to them making sure he was out of their sight. It was really easy, they didn't even think about checking their behinds. They clearly had zero military training and had never been in a situation where they needed to cover up for themselves.

"Come on hurry up!" One brother called out to the other one "Waylon it's going!" The younger one shouted back. "Move!" Waylon snapped back, his stand uncertain, his aim wavering. They were nervous.

Barbie took his chance and jumped. He pushed the arm holding the gun at Julia with such a speed and force Waylon did not have the chance to react. At the same time he hit his nose with his elbow with such a force it knocked the guy out immediately. Grabbing his arm Barbie tossed him to the ground. He was about to point his own gun at Waylon preventing he got away when there came a load painful cry from the car and it made him froze with fear.

He snapped immediately even though the voice was a bit off and different from those of Julia's, still he had to make sure it was not her. He turned in time to see Julia get out of the car, unharmed, and a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. She was all right. The painful cry came again and that was when he noticed Harriet on the back seat of the car. Her eyes were squeezed together tight, painful tears were running down her face. She was gripping hard on Julia's hand. Barbie took his walkie and called Linda.

"Linda? Linda, it is Barbie. I just tangled with the Dundees." He said making his way to the car while Julia tried to calm down Harriet.

"Copy, where?" Linda asked back immediately.

Barbie turned around to look for any sign identifying the street they were on. Waylon seemed to get together himself and made a hell of a run for it. Barbie shot after him but he was too late. He clenched his jaw in anger. He wanted to go after him and beat the shit out of him. For what he did the other day but mostly because he dared to point that fucking gun at Julia.

But he did not. Julia was slightly panicking next to him, her body was tense even though her voice was soft as she talked with Harriet. But she was shaken and that centered all his attention for now. She needed him, everything else could wait.

"He is okay. No one's hurt. He is okay." Julia whispered over and over again to Harriet who was clearly losing it. She was obviously in a lot of pain and what had just happened did not help to calm her nerves for sure.

If they were under other circumstances he would have found it sweet she was reassuring Harriet that he was safe. He was pretty sure Harriet did not care just that much about it at the moment. It rather sounded like a reassurance for herself.

Quickly he reloaded the gun and looked around to make sure they were still alone out there. They needed to move and fast. The streets of Chester's Mill wasn't the safest place at that moment.

"We are at town center. They took off to the northwest." He said to Linda still a bit unsure if he should run after the Dundees. The muscles in his jaw clenched as he was torn between staying and making sure Julia got out of here safe or going after the brothers and make sure they never ever even dream about getting near her again.

"She is going into labor. We gotta get her to the clinic." Julia's voice pulled him from his thoughts. He met her worried eyes and that pretty much made up his mind. Dundees could be handled later.

"That is not gonna happen." He said shaking his head with a frown. "Just went by there. It is closed." After the riot yesterday they didn't even bothered to open up.

"Alice." Julia said suddenly. "She is a doctor. She is staying with Joe McAlister. But this car is not going anywhere now." She trailed off biting down on her lips in worry as Harriet let out another cry.

"Then let's start walking, come on." Barbie said jumping into action again and leaning down to pull the blonde woman up, his arms wrapped around her waist as Julia supported her from the other side. They exchanged one quick glance, an unspoken communication between them that reassured both of them for the time being.
