Chapter 2
Tony's POV
I rode in the passenger seat as we headed for the warehouse where it would be the end for Melanie, and her team would be there to watch her fade away.
I looked back at Melanie; she still lay motionless across the back seat with Scott next to her in case she awakened. 'Time to call up her friends.'I thought; dialing the number for her leader.
Barney's POV
"Where's Mel?"I asked immediately after I picked up my phone. I got laughter in response, it frustrated me. He gave me directions again,
"We're not playing this game again."I warned him.
"You don't have a choice."he told me and hung up. I hit the end button and chucked my phone across the room, it hit the couch with a light thud.
"What is it?" Lee demanded on edge, he wanted to get Mel back as soon as possible.
"Directions to another damn warehouse." I told him.
"Not again." he groaned.
"We'll get her back, let's go!" I said aloud and we headed to the cars.
Lee's POV
'I cannot wait to get my hands on this guy and beat him to a pulp before stabbing him right through the heart.' I thought as we drove along.
I'd gone out to Nicole's grave and made peace by forgiving myslef for what had happened, the only thing I had left to do was get forgiveness from Melanie.
We arrived quickly at the warehouse going through the front door, I starred at Melanie as she hung upside down by her ankles from the catwalk above a stack of crates.
"Welcome gentlemen." Tony said from a catwalk above us to the left, we whipped around our guns trained on him.
He held up a little remote in his left hand, "Not so fast, I have detonators set on each side of the catwalk holding dear Melanie." he told us, smiling.
He looked in Mel's direction and it faded, "No way!" he shouted.
I turned around then, Melanie had lifted herself up enough to bring her hands up behind her legs and remove her blindfold and now she was working on the ropes around her wrists.
I smiled she was still fighting, that was a good sign.
Melanie's POV
I freed my hands and dropped down again tiredly, I was still hanging upside down but at least I had my hands free and that was better than I was a few minutes ago.
The cord holding me snapped and I barely had time to shift my position before hitting the crate below hard on my back. I groaned in pain stumbling to my feet,
"Jump!" Lee commanded, I jumped as two loud bangs sounded behind me and I landed in a tarp crushing the crate beneath it and hit the floor as the catwalk crashed into the crate I had just been standing on a minute ago.
Lee's POV
The bad guys scattered, I looked to the pile of crates that Mel was behind. I could tell it had taken all her strength just to jump off that crate before, she was probably hurt bad.
"We got her, you go after Tony!" Toll shouted to me as he, Yang and Gunnar headed in her direction.
I nodded heading for the ladder to the catwalk, out of the corner of my eye I could see Barney fighting the right hand man. Tony was running right towards me as I reached the top and cut him off.
"It takes a strong man to care for Melanie, let's see if you're strong enough." he said getting in a fighting stance.
I got in my fighting stance, though the catwalk didn't provide much space. We went at it; he tried to punch, I blocked and gave him a kick to the ribs and shoved him back.
"Not bad." he commented and pulled out his knife, I gladly pulled mine out.
He swiped for my chest, I leaned back away from the knife as he swept his leg under me; I fell on my back on the catwalk. Tony stood above me smiling even with my knife pointed at him.
"I find it amusing a man who kills murderers, would protect and love a killer." he said.
"What are you talking about?!" I demanded angrily.
"She didn't tell you? That doesn't surprise me. Melanie killed my son!" he told me yelling the last part as he raised his knife, I threw mine into his heart.
He dropped his knife and dropped backwards to the catwalk, I got up as Hale came over, we locked eyes for a moment and I nodded.
Hale picked the man up and threw him onto the broken piece of catwalk.
"That's for Nicole!" he shouted.
"Toll, how's Mel?" I asked as I hurried down the ladder,
"She's out cold, but she'll be ok. Just needs some rest and a few bandages." He replied as I walked up to them.
"Let's go home." Barney told us and headed out, it was finally over.
Sorry for the late update, more to come.
