Abbey Finds Out
Abbey stood outside waiting for Connor and Cutter to emerge from the burning building. Everyone was told that no one was allowed to enter the building after Connor because the building was about to collapse. Lester had gotten all his soldiers to stand guard at all entries and exits. Abbey felt like something was wrong, that Connor and Cutter weren't coming out.
'No point just sitting here and twiddling our thumbs,' said Becker. Abbey jumped at the sound of his voice as no one had been talking much. 'Do you want to come for a walk,' he asked nervously. Abbey nodded her head slowly and got up to join him. She didn't want to talk because she was shore if she opened her mouth she would cry. They walked to the side of the building silently with Becker at her side. 'What if Connor's dead?' she thought. A lump rose in her throat at the thought. 'No he can't be, he just can't be,' she kept telling herself.
Becker stopped suddenly and Abbey lost in thought, walked into him. 'Becker what the h-.' He turned around and pushed her to the ground just as the building collapsed. 'CONNOR'! Abbey shoved Becker aside and ran towards the rubble. 'No, Connor, no,' she cried as she tried moving the broken bricks aside. 'Becker,' Abbey cried. 'Help me'. Becker didn't hear her. He just stared down at the car park. Abbey abandoning the rubble, got up and walked over to Becker. Seeing her, Becker put a figure to his lips and motioned for her to come slowly. Once she reached him she followed his gaze, and saw two of Helen's minions holding a struggling young man. 'Connor,' she whispered. He was being held by two men who were identical to the last freckle. Abbey couldn't look away, Connor looked awful. His face was dirty, bloody and bruised. His wrists were bleeding from where the rope had cut him. Tied around his mouth was a dirty rag. Connor's hair which was usually gelled up, had fallen around his face, was greasy and full of ash. 'We have to help him Becker,' Abbey said. She could even hear the pleading in her own voice. 'We can't Abbey,' He replied. 'But Becker'. 'Look Abbey, if we go over there who knows what they'll do to him, or us.' Abbey nodded. She looked back towards Connor and saw that he was staring at her sadly. He had stopped walking and that had gotten him a whack on the head by one man, and shoved into the back of a van by the other. Abbey tried to run to him, just as the van drove away with Connor in it.
