Survival: Live or Die

By: Kary G.

Chapter 5

A/N: I'm trying so hard to build these chapters. This story is one of my tough ones, I am sorry that is too short but I'm trying the best that I can to do it.

Erica, Jimmy, Alex and Walker sat on the dirty floor. "Gage?" Alex called to the junior ranger but didn't receive an answer.

Erica stood up and decided to walk. "Jimmy, we need to find them.." Erica was cut off by a girl voice that seems to be Syd's voice.

"Erica, in here." Erica ran towards the voice. Jimmy couldn't leave her alone and so he followed his wife. Jimmy stop dead in his tracks and took Erica's hand knowing that something was wrong. He tried to take her back and himself to where Walker and Alex were but they got lost.

"Hello, Ranger Trivette," Bolger greeted him. Bolger's gaze moved to Erica. "Mrs. Trivette, How's your son Max doing?" Erica hearing this tried to slap Bolger but he caught her wrist. Twisting it slowly making her go down on her knees. Trivette was going to intervene but Grangus jumped between Trivette and Bolger and both ranger and convict fought.

Erica stood up slowly, the pain was impossible for her to handle but knew that Max was waiting for her and for her husband to save him. Max's image came to her mind. Erica tried to remember a few sensitive points that Jimmy taught her a few weeks ago after seconds of searching in her mind she remembered and put her practice to the test.

Erica supported her weight in her right foot and with the left she kicked Bolger in the shins. Immediately Bolger let her wrist free and that gave her time to use her left foot sending a kick to one of his sensitive points on the leg. Her foot kicked with a ton of force Bolger's knee causing his knee to "sink" back and at the same time breaking his leg.

In the meantime, Jimmy fought with Grangus. Grangus punched Trivette but Trivette block the punch and took the wind out of Grangus. Grangus leaned; his hand touching the dirty and humid floor. Erica saw that Bolger was crying in pain, she moved to where Grangus was and put her left foot on Grangus hand and put all her weight in it.

"You stupid…" Grangus didn't have time to say the whole sentence thanks to Erica who raised her right foot smacking it against Grangus head.

"I'll be nice to you. Where are the children?" she demanded for an answer but when Grangus refused to talk she put more pressure to her left foot. "Damn it, you are not cooperating. Where are the children?!" she almost yelled. Jimmy stared at his wife amaze that she would do something like that. But, at the same time Max's life was at stake and he wasn't the only child in that situation.

Jimmy walked next to his wife and putting an arm around her waist he told Grangus that he needed to cooperate with Erica. "Grangus, I would tell her this instant where the children are. Because, if you don't she'll kill you. And I am not going to stop her," his voice was serious but at the same time with a cold tune in his voice.

"I don't believe you. You wife is lying!" he fired back. Erica had enough she was going to kill him. Erica turned to searched for a gun and found one a few feet away from Bolger. She figured that both men were there to their job and that was killing her and her husband. Erica ran and took the gun with her and went back to where Grangus was. Jimmy made sure that Grangus didn't get up. Her hands worked quick until Grangus heard a click indicating that the pistol had bullets.

"Do you think I'm lying to you piece of trash?! Uh, Do you?!" her voice echoed the room. "I'm going to ask you one more time and you better answer with the truth because I swear that if you don't I'll blow the brains out of your head. You decide." She took a deep breath and tried to ask nicely. "Grangus, Where are the children?"
