Wanted: Dead or Alive
Chapter Two
Sorry for taking so long to update. I've been very busy lately. Again Sorry!!
Mary found Amber crying in the bathroom. She decided to wait for Amber to collect herself. When she came out, the three of them drove to her apartment and she quickly packed her bags. There wasn't much for her to pack. They rode in silence, Amber just stared out the window.
It had been hours since either Mary or Marshall ate. They pulled up to a gas station.
"What do you want?" Mary asked looking at Amber.
"I'm not very hungry." Amber whispered. "I just need to go to the bathroom."
She scrambled out of the SUV and over to the restroom. Mary went inside the store while Marshall waited outside the bathroom door. It wasn't long before Mary came back out with a few bottles of water and some chips.
"She still in there?" she asked.
"Yup." Marshall answered taking a gulp of water.
There was a loud bang inside followed by shattering glass. The marshals slammed open the door, guns raised as they entered the bathroom. Amber stood in front of the sink, her left hand bleeding. The mirror in above the sink was shattered to oblivion. Blood still clung to the shards of glass left hanging on the mirror and that were on the floor. Amber didn't even look up at the marshals, she just stared at her hand. Mary and Marshall put their guns away and rushed over to her.
"What the hell happened?" Mary asked.
Amber didn't move. She just stared into space.
There were footsteps running towards the bathroom. The owner of the store appeared in the doorway. His jaw dropped when he saw the scene. He tried to complete an actual sentence but couldn't make heads or tails of where to start.
Finally he managed to get out. "What the hell happened in here?"
"I had an accident with the mirror. I'll pay for a new one." Amber's voice was soft. She never looked up.
"You had an accident with my mirror? What accident could you have with a mirror?"
"I said I'll buy you a new one."
"It doesn't matter--"
He stopped his ranting when she looked at him. Flames danced behind her eyes.
Amber rinsed her hand off in the sink. Mary gently grabbed her arm and lead her outside to the SUV.
Sorry it's so short.
