Hey guys it's been a while hasn't it? Well this chapter has been long over due and I know it. Shoutout to my loyal readers you guys keep me writing. Just a side note the story is soon finished. The first section of the chapter is Rachel's version of a memory Quinn had in a previous chapter so if it seems familiar you know why. Forgive any mistakes, it's unedited and more to come soon.

Pink Doesn't Taste That Great Chapter 27
RPOV (a memory)
"Quinn slow down a little Beth is getting fussy" I said from the backseat. I always insisted on riding with Beth when we go out so she wouldn't cause much trouble in her car seat. The car slowed and I smiled at Beth as she settled.
"I can't help it Rach, I'm excited" This was Quinn's first weekend with Beth and we decided to take her out. I had everything planned for today starting with a little kite flying in the park off North Road (A/N still don't think this road exists in Ohio). The song I sang to Beth played on the radio and she touched my arm happily.
"Sing" Beth said to me. I started to sing as Quinn hummed along with us as we approached the street. I continued to sing as we got nearer and Beth swayed along happily as I continued. Mentally I went through the list of stuff we had packed and what we told the others to bring to ensure that we would be well prepared for anything. Quinn loved this park because of it's size. She loved the face that it was small enough to make a quick getaway if she needed to but big enough that we shouldn't be in anyone's way.
"Look" Beth said pointing to a couple ducks at the pond just off the corner of the park.
"Duck, can you say duck?"Quinn asked her. She shook her head no frantically and Quinn tried to get her to say it.
"Try B" she insisted
"No" Beth said pouting.
"Come on B you could do this…Duuuuuck" I encouraged
"No" she repeated folding her arms.
I rolled my eyes at how stubborn she was for her age and as Quinn put the car in park I unbuckled Beth from the car seat and we went set out looking for the perfect spot to have out picnic.
I turned to see Brittany running behind us and calling for us both. She caught up with me and gave both Beth and I kisses on the cheek.
"Hey you two"
"Bwit" Beth said smiling brightly holding onto Brittany's leg hugging her. Brittany took her into her hands and smiled.
Finally! We found 'the perfect' spot. That or Santana's incessant complaining was starting to annoy me. I leaned against Santana who was now eating a tuna sandwich while Quinn and I watched Brittany sitting by the edge of the pond with Beth in her lap. She pointed at the different ducks, probably getting Beth's help naming them. Quinn took a picture of the two of them, probably sending it to Noah, then turned to me and snapped another photo.
Beth got away and came barreling towards us.
"Moma" she screamed with tears falling from her face. Quinn dropped her phone on the blanket and jumped up meeting her halfway and crouching to see if she was okay. Brittany walked up to them smiling as we heard her explanation.
"One of the ducks came a little too close and she got scared and ran away" Santana chuckled as Quinn wiped her eyes and kissed her cheek.
"Aww its okay baby, they won't hurt you" she tried to explain. Beth gave Quinn like she was crazy and came running towards Santana and I.
"Bad Duck" she said pointing to the pond.
"That's right babygirl" Santana said "come on, let's get this kite in the air" she said taking Beth's kite in her hand.
Quinn settled back next to me as Brittany, Beth and Santana and kissed my cheek.
"This is by far the happiest day of my life"
"Wait until you see what we got planned for the rest of the weekend"
Quinn turned to me "you didn't tell me everything?"
"Well baby, I just want you to have a great weekend"
"I'm with you, so I will"

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
The steady tick tock of Skye's watch drove me absolutely crazy standing out here. Crickets sang to one another and all I could think about was Quinn. The last thing I remembered was our picnic the first weekend we had Beth and how happy she had been. I need to save her.
Hey guys, we're in position. Brittany said through the ear pieces Zayi got us.
What's the layout? Skye asked
I see one extremely large guy and 3 girls standing on the east side of the room. Quinn is hanging by her hands to the south, T is on the other side of her on his knees he looks injured or in pain and there's some blond chick walking around between them. I can't see her face or anything.
You guys won't believe this; those three girls are the Skanks Brittany said
I knew those bitches were bad news Mike hissed
Skye turned to me "what the fuck is a Skank?"
I shook my head "it doesn't matter they are going down"
Any funny business Z and you know what to do Skye said
I'm in position babe
Hey Skye. Doesn't this sound- Mike whispered from the other side of the building
- Just like what T would do? Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Z can you tell who the blonde girl is?
Negative. You guys better get in there, the big guy just untied Quinn
Skye looked at me. "Shoot at anything that moves, except T and Q. The gun you have doesn't have a hell of a kick back like Mike's so you'll be fine if it does give you any trouble I beg you Rach bare the pain until we get them out"
"You don't have to tell me twice. That's my woman in there Skye"
Make a move. Brittany said and before I knew what happened a gunshot rang out Skye kicked open the door and I followed quickly behind her I shot in the direction of the big ugly guy. A bullet caught him in the arm and he rushed at me. I saw Quinn on the floor next to Tony before I was tackled to the ground.
The guy started choking me when Mike pulled him off and they started going at it. I scrambled to my feet when I saw Santana drop to the floor and Ronnie take Quinn off Tony's body and pulled her against her body.
"Quinn" I yelled
Her eyes connected with my own. "Rachel, get out of her" she screamed before she was hit on the back of the head.
"Nooooo" I yelled
Rach I can't get a clean shot Z said into my ear.
"Okay everybody, stop moving or the girl dies"
All movement stopped and I heard gurgling sounds in the ear pieces. I looked around to see who was injured but I couldn't tell.
San? Brittany asked scared
Its not me Brit Brit, the bullet hit the vest.Santana whispered
Skye? Zayi questioned
Silence.
Skye? she asked again.
I could see Skye, but she stood there unmoved, which terrified me.
NATASHA YOU ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW! Zayi yelled into the earpieces.
Ariana. Skye said barely above a whisper looking at the figure on the floor in front of her. My eyes followed hers and I gasped.
The doppelganger.
The gurgling sound came to our ears again.
Mikey? Skye whispered.
Where's Mike? I wondered looking around. Ronnie stepped forward pointing the gun at me.
"Listen Berry you're going to let us out of here or your girlfriend gets it"
I hesitated a little and Ronnie pointed her gun further into Quinn's head.
"I'm going to kill you" I sneered.
"I'll kill your girlfriend first" She said.
You guys Mike's in trouble. Brittany said sounding like she was crying.
I shifted my weight from one foot to the next and looked at Skye.
"Skye?"
"Stay tight" she whispered to both Santana and I.
"Ronnie listen up. You bitches need to understand something. There is no way you're getting out of here alive and Quinn is going with us" Santana said from the floor.
"Yeah whatever Lopez, no one is afraid of you"
The big guy rushed at Skye and I heard a gunshot making him fall to the ground. Mike's hand gun dropped from his hands as quickly as the big guy did.
"What did I say about not moving?"
"Mikey you okay?" Skye said loudly.
"Not. Sure"
I cocked my gun and pointed it at Ronnie.
"I'm done with this, put her down NOW" I said
Ronnie backed up towards the door dragging Quinn along I followed closely and both Skye and Santana had their guns pointed to the other Skanks.
"Say goodbye to your girlfriend Berry" The Mack smirked turning to Ronnie and nodding.
A gunshot rang out and Quinn dropped to the ground.
