It was Thursday night at North Side High; they were in the middle of the game. Tom was assigned as the starting line up, thou he didn't think he was that good. Penhall did work him hard off duty to be the best.
Sarah sat with some of the schoolgirls in the front row, near the boys. Sarah would get up and see Tom when he was off. She had to admit that he was doing pretty well on the field.
Up in the bleacher sat the rest of the crew. Denise sat with Crag, just in case they were wrong. Captain Fuller, Judy and Doug sat together watching Sarah every move. They all stood up and cheered on Tom when he was on.
Tom wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear "It's time you should go. They will do it before haft time, cause someone will notice by then and I, the star, won't play for the rest of the game. So just be careful." Sarah kissed him on the lips and smiled at him "I'll be fine." Then she starting walking to the back out to the parking lot was no one was in sight and no one could see behind there.
Once they saw that she had left they examined the other team to see if anyone was going to leave. To their surprise the assistant coach stood up and looked around before he started heading toward the parking lot.
Doug was about to get up but Fuller pushed him down "We wait. We need to catch him in the act." Doug shook his head "I won't let him lay a hand on her." Fuller looked at Doug sternly "Not yet Doug."
Sarah held Tom's water bottle in her hand as she started walking back to the field. She looked up saw an older man walking towards her. He heart started to race knowing what was about to happen. But she needed to act casual.
She was about to walk pass him when he held out his arm and wrapped his hand around her neck. Then he covered her mouth and walk more over to the bushes. Her hand gripped around his arm as he squeezed tighter.
"Is number 49 you boyfriend?" He asked her smiling. All Sarah could do was nodded her head. It was hard for her to breath. "He's good. To bad next half he is going to be at your hospital bed. Then he let go of her and ran his hand down to her breast. "Your beautiful."
Sarah closed her eyes tightly trying to get away from the man grasp.
Sarah laid naked in her bed, tears streaming from her eyes, while he father had his way with her. The young girl grabbed the sheet from under her and scrunched it in her fist. She begged for him to stop, but he wouldn't.
Sarah snapped back into the present, the man brought her to the ground. "Lemmgo." She tired to yell but she couldn't. She just spat in his face. The man, while on top of her, grabbed a branch and slapped it across her face. Sarah can feel her one side of her face go numb. He started to pull down her pants, when he badge fell out. He picked it up and looked at it. "You're a cop." Sarah nodded her head. The man found her gun and aimed it at her. "Well your going to be a dead cop, no one can hear you." Sarah heart raced as he point the gun at her.
He pulled the trigger but was started when he heard someone from behind him. "Hold it right there." He missed his target. Instead it hit her shoulder.
Doug tacked this guy from behind when her heard the gun shot. Judy and Fuller ran to Sarah's position. She looked up at them and gave a weak smile. She then looked at her right shoulder and saw blood gushing out. "Oh god." Judy cried out. Fuller acted quickly and pulled out a handicraft and pressed it against her wound. "Judy, go call for back up and an ambulance." Judy did as she was told. Fuller looked down at his fallen officer. "I'm sorry. We should have come sooner."
By the time back up came, everyone who was watching the game was behind the bleacher to see what had happened. Tom and Denise made their way through the crowd, but were stopped by officer who were trying to keep people from getting to close to the scene for the crime. They flashed their badges and went past them.
Tom heart stopped he saw Sarah being lifted on to a gurney. He ran up to her and saw her pale face. Her eyes were closed but she could tell that she was not sleeping. She was in pain. "Sarah!" He called out. She opened her eyes and stared at Tom and gave him weak smile.
The put her in the ambulance but kept him from going with her. Doug held him back "Tommy, we are going right hospital. You will be able to see her soon enough." Tom turned to face Doug "You were supposed to watch her." He glared at his friend the marched off to his own car and followed behind the ambulance.
Sorry that this chapter was a little short. But I think that was a good spot to end it. I hoped you all liked it.
