Thanks to blueeyedauthor for the review. I really appreciate it. Hope everyone is still enjoying the story.
Four o' clock rolled around. Kane had had enough of waiting. She stood and walked to the door.
"What are you doing Kandice?"
"Finding out what's going on." Kane pounded on the door as her brother rose to his feet. After the third bang, Kane could hear the lock being turned and the door opening. Two men stood before her, each holding their guns ready to fire if needed. Her actions caught them off guard.
"What do you want?" The closer one asked.
"I want to know what happened with my brother."
"The trade went fine. Now shut up." he started to close the door but Kane's foot made it come to a halt.
"No. I want to speak with Hobbs. He's your leader right?" The guy rolled his eyes.
"You're getting on my nerves. Just go back in there and wait quietly or else."
"I don't care. I want to know what's going on." She stood straight and ready for anything. If needed she always had her gun.
Another eye roll. "Smith go get Hobbs. Tell him the bitch wants a word."
Kane glared at the men. But removed her foot and returned to inside the room. She got what she wanted. At least that's what she hoped. Minutes passed. Just as Kane was about to go back to hitting the door it opened. Hobbs and the guy named Lopez entered the room.
"What now?"
"I want to know what happened with my brother."
"We made the trade just like I said I would. They handed over the evidence. I destroyed it then let Dylan go. No problems. But I was just about to call your friend again to make sure they are making progress on getting our friends released. So miss loud mouth why don't you come with me."
Two rough hands grabbed Kane and shoved her out the door. Caleb watched knowing there was nothing he could do.
Before she could take in her surroundings, Kane was pushed into another room two doors down the hall. The new room looked similar to the one she was previously in. no windows and only one door. The difference was that several chairs were scattered about and one man was working on a lap top. To the left of him was a table with a satellite phone resting on it. Hobbs picked up the phone and dialed some numbers. Flack's she assumed. Caleb had told her he was the only one Hobbs would deal with.
Kane stood by quietly as Hobbs spoke to Don. It frustrated her to no end to only hear Hobbs half of the conversation. He demanded to know about his convict friends. Don must have said something to her captors liking because a broad smile crossed his face. "Good. I guess you didn't need that midnight deadline. Either the force really cares about the well being of their own or I would say you have a personal relationship with Axel." he paused giving Don time to explain his reasons. "Fine. Yes she is here." The phone was finally handed to her.
"Flack." She had to keep up professional appearances.
"Kane is it just us?"
"As far as I know. What is going on?"
"They're releasing Meyers and Hobbs brother Bennett. The trade will be pushed up to eight."
"Alright. I understand. Is Dylan and Carly okay?"
"They're alright. Everything will be okay. Just hold in there."
"Thanks Flack."
"That's enough." Hobbs grabbed the phone back. "Eight o'clock Flack. Or they die."
Now that the phone call had ended and Kane knew what was going on, she was pushed back into the room with her brother. Caleb listened as she updated him on the new time. As far as they could tell, the best way to get through the day was to continue to cooperate. Hobbs obviously wanted his brother's safe return. Two more quiet tense full hours passed before the siblings saw their captors again.
"Alright you two are going for a little ride." Hobbs said. Other men came into the room and grabbed Kane and Caleb. Soon both felt the familiar sting of the needle as it broke skin. The sedative coursed through their veins. Only seconds passed before both were unconscious.
