I've been on a writing kick the past two days!! Thanks again for reading and reviewing!!
Chapter 54: Attack
Lincoln, Sucre, and Jack drove out to an old shack in the middle of the Panamanian jungle.
"Think this'll work?" asked Sucre, skeptically.
"I think so," said Lincoln, "At least I hope so. It was Jack's idea, by the way."
Jack shrugged, "Not really. I saw it on Home Alone once."
Lincoln and Sucre smirked.
Sucre finished playing with an old boom box, and then looked over at Jack.
"Ready?" she asked.
Sucre nodded while he and Lincoln covered their ears. Jack raised a gun to the air and fired off several rounds.
On their way back to the hotel, Lincoln's phone rang.
"Yeah?"
"I have a message for you from Michael."
Lincoln's brow furrowed in suspicion.
"Who is this?" he demanded.
"I'm McGrady…my son is friends with Michael. They're in SONA together."
Lincoln smiled, despite himself. Michael had picked up a stray.
"Yeah, okay. What's the message?"
"He said don't come home for dinner."
Lincoln hung up.
"What was that all about?" asked Sucre.
"It was a coded message from Michael."
"What is it?" asked Jack, impatiently.
"Don't come home for dinner."
Just as they pulled up in front of the hotel, Sophia ran over to them.
Jack sneered, "You have to be joking."
Sophia looked distraught and was shaking slightly as she walked over.
"I don't know what's going on," she said, eyes wide with fear, "James told me to stay away from you. I don't know what to do now."
"So you come crawling back to us?" asked Jack, coldly, "After you try to shoot me and Lincoln."
Sucre's eyes widened in surprise.
"She did what?!"
"It was while you were out spying for us," said Lincoln.
Sucre nodded slowly, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"Please…please I need help," whined Sophia.
"No, what you need is a bullet in the head," muttered Jack.
But despite herself, Jack did feel a twinge of pity for the woman. Her man may be a liar who really works for The Company and may have had a fling or two with Jack's half-sister.
Lincoln sighed and glanced at Jack, uncertainty in his eyes.
Jack rolled her eyes and sighed in exasperation.
"Fine. But you don't get to carry any more guns."
Lincoln, Sucre, Sophia, and Jack walked out of the hotel and hopped in the car two hours later.
"Where are we going?" asked Sophia.
"I need to call Michael," answered Lincoln, "And if I can't reach him, then I'll need to meet him by the fence."
"So we're going to SONA?"
"Wow, you catch on quick," sneered Jack.
Sucre tried to hide his smile of amusement.
As they drove, Lincoln dialed a number on his cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi, I need to speak to Michael."
Suddenly the line went dead. Lincoln glanced down at his phone.
"What is it?" asked Jack.
"I don't know…whoever that was just hung up on me."
As the four drew closer to SONA, a car swerved in front of them, blocking their path. Lincoln slammed on the breaks. Five guys hopped out of the black car and ran towards them. Jack, Lincoln, and Sucre reacted quickly.
Jack knocked one guy out with a single punch, while Lincoln and Sucre took out two more. Suddenly, Jack glanced over her shoulder to see one man grab Sophia around the neck and yank her out of the car.
Jack grabbed the gun from the man she had just knocked out and whirled around. She aimed carefully and fired. The man holding Sophia collapsed to the ground, a bullet hole in his head. Sophia trembled as she glanced over at Jack.
The last man ran back towards the car. Jack raised her weapon and fired several rounds, but the man managed to climb back into the car. He rolled down the window and called out as he drove away.
"Susan says to stay away from Sophia!"
Once the four climbed back into the car and sped away, Lincoln's phone rang.
"Yeah? Michael?"
"Linc, what is it? You really shouldn't call this line! Sammy answered and almost got Lechero in serious trouble."
"I'm sorry Michael."
Michael sighed, "Its okay. We're still working on the plan. Everything seems to be okay for now."
"Good," said Lincoln, "Well we just got attacked by Susan's goons."
"What?!"
"Yeah, we took out four of them. One got away. He told us that Susan said to stay away from Sophia."
"They don't need us anymore," said Michael, voice on the edge of panic, "I think they're breaking Whistler out on their own."
Later that day…
Sucre went back to work while Lincoln, Jack and Sophia walked the streets of Panama. They needed some time to think and to just clear their minds for a while.
"Thanks, Jack," said Sophia quietly.
Jack glanced at her quickly.
"For what?"
"For saving me back there…"
Jack smiled and shook her head.
"Don't mention it."
Just then, a small black car pulled up beside them. The dark tinted window slowly rolled down.
Jack felt her insides clinch as she recognized Susan.
"Get in the car, Lincoln," she ordered.
Jack narrowed her eyes angrily.
"What do you think you're doing?" she snarled.
Susan smiled at her, "Its okay, sis. I just need to borrow your friend for a little while. He'll be returned unharmed, I promise."
"Its okay, Jack," said Lincoln, "You two go back to the hotel and stay there, okay?"
Jack gritted her teeth and glared at Susan.
Susan looked over her shoulder and stared hard at Sophia.
"Everywhere I go, there you are," she sneered, "Go home Sophia."
