THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REVIEWS THEY MEAN SOOO MUCH! I love reading them and they really give me motivation to write. Especially when I can read what other people want to happen. That way I can steer the story in the direction that I feel they will enjoy reading. Much love to all who reviewed! Back to the story :)
Alex rushed to find Nikita. She ran as fast as she could, checking each room in search for her mother figure. Doors slammed open as she was beginning to become desperate. Each second she wasted, was a second Sean might not have. Finally after about ten minutes of searching of frantic searching she finally found Nikita.
"Nikita!" she ran up to her.
"What's wrong?" Nikita placed her hand on Alex's back. The young woman was trying so hard to hurry and catch her breath.
Alex could barely breathe, "I need you to do me a favor."
"Sure what is it?"
"I need you to watch Elizabeth while I'm gone," she finally stood up as her heart beat was slowing down.
"Of course, but where are you going?" Nikita looked a little confused.
Alex's eye's filled with determination. "I'm going bring Sean back."
"You know where he is?" Nikita looked shocked, "We can help you. You might need back up…"
"No!" a brief glimpse of anger was shown in Alex's voice. It soon turned into apologetic, "It's my fault he's gone. I need to be the one to get him back."
The truth was Alex couldn't risk Nikita finding out about her father. She didn't know if Nikita was involved with faking his murder. And if it came to the point where Alex had to take the shot, she needed to be the one to take out her father.
Nikita nodded. She knew Alex needed to rescue him on her own. She didn't know why but she understood that she did. "I'll keep her safe," she told her.
Alex hugged her. She appreciated the fact she had a family. They weren't blood, but they were family.
Alex hoped she would return. Not just in one piece with Sean, but as the same person. There was no way for her to know what would happen when her and her father had a real talk.
She let go of her mother figure and ran off heading to the armory.
When she arrived she grabbed a silenced pistol, a black bladed knife and a pair of binoculars. She didn't want to create a battle. She just wanted to do what she needed to do.
Alex revved up her motorcycle and drove off marking the floor with a black tire mark. The street lights passed as they were the only way of sight. It was pitch black everywhere else, as the moon was covered by storm clouds. She could see the lightning and hear the thunder but there was no rain. The ground shook beneath her as lightning struck. She knew exactly where to go. She knew the instant she saw the building. She would never forget it as long as she lived. It was the building she met her first love and watched him die. The building she saw Jason die at.
Alex pulled up to a building across the street from where Sean was being held. She went into an ally way and pushed a dumpster a few feet. The wheels squeaked as the rust scraped off as they turned. A manhole to the sewers was revealed. She pulled the lid off and climbed down. It was dark and the smell of feces was like a sucker punch to the face. As she walked through the tunnels the sounds of rats echoed. She could feel rats running across her shoes.
She had the tunnels memorized. She and Jason used them to sneak out and get away from Vlad. It wasn't the most romantic way but it was better than staying where they were. They would have used this way to escape, but at the time there was a huge flood and the water was neck high. Maybe they should have waited for the water level to drop and then escaped, maybe than Jason would be alive still.
She shook her head and tried to place the thoughts in the back of her head. She needed to focus at the task at hand. There were more important things to think about than the past at the moment.
Alex stopped as she reached the entrance to the basement of the building. She checked her pistols ammo and climbed the ladder. She raised her gun checking the room as she slowly rose from the ground. The only thing there was a guard sleeping in a chair probably supposed to be on guard duty. She recognized him from the video. He was the one who knocked Sean unconscious.
She replaced her gun with her knife and slowly walked over to him. His rifle was cuddled in his arms with his finger still in the trigger. She could take the chance of him waking up. Quietly and swiftly she walked behind him and placed the knife on the strap holding the gun. Once the strap was cut she slowly removed the weapon.
Alex placed the dark bladed weapon on the man's throat and placed her other hand on his mouth and nose covering them. The man jolted awake as his body realized it was losing oxygen. "Shhh, we wouldn't want to get hurt now would we?" Alex whispered in his ear.
The man didn't move. His breathing became heavy. She knew he was scared. "Now tell me where the prisoner that came here a few weeks ago is," she tried to persuade him.
"F$#% you," the man didn't want to say anything.
Alex placed the knife on his neck harder. It dug into his skin. The pain was real, but it wasn't deep enough to cause too much damage. But she would dig deeper if she had to. She wasn't going home without Sean.
"Tell me now!" blood slowly dripped down his neck, "I'm losing my patience!"
The sharp metal dug deeper, millimeters away from a major vein. His body tightened at the pain. "Okay! Okay! He's on the second floor!" the guard finally gave in.
"You give out pain but you can't take it?" A dark tone overcame Alex's voice.
"What?" the guard could only say as the blade slit his throat.
Crimson red covered the floor as Alex let go of the man's body and he fell to the ground.
No one was going to hurt her family anymore. She wasn't going to run there like she did before. She wiped her blade off with the guy's shirt and took out her pistol.
She remembered each secret way that her and Jason took in order to remain hidden. Before she had a chance to open a door leading to the stair she noticed shadows of two people, most likely guards. She didn't want to get into a gun battle so she had to think of a plan.
She knocked on the door. She heard one of the guards walk over to the door. Once she was sure he was right on the other side she slammed the door with her foot launching him against the wall. The other guard fumbled as he tried to dodge his flying friend. Alex took the chance and with her silenced gun she shot both of them.
She didn't have the time to hide the bodies. She knew at the moment Sean might being dying. She sprinted up the stairs as fast as she could. She finally got to the second floor. She was surprised as the guard that was supposed to be at his post in the hallway snuck up behind her.
He placed her in a choke hold. Her veins screamed as they couldn't bring blood to her head. She was trying so hard to free herself. Alex couldn't reach her knife or gun. She backed him up against a wall and began to elbow him in the gut. She didn't five times before her vision became blurry. As a last resort she backed him up to the stairs and tripped him behind with her foot.
He clung to her as he fell. They both rolled down the stairs. She could feel each step as she fell, each one hitting the part of her body already broken from before. As she finally reached the first floor again she managed to stop herself. She glanced over at the guard and saw he was dead. As they fell he must have landed on his head.
Ignoring the pain of every bone in her body she got up. The ghost was now clear so she carried on and headed up stairs to the door she knew Sean was behind. Vlad had kept the girl's their as punishment so it was the perfect place to keep a prisoner.
As she entered the room it seemed to quiet. She took a few steps forward before a sudden blare of light turned on above her. She brought up her gun, ready, aiming to shoot anything that was going to come at her. Out of nowhere another light turned on the again a third one came on. A relief appeared in her heart as she saw Sean alive. He strapped in a chair with his mouth tied and he had earplugs. He had gashes and bruises covering most of his body. The relief disappeared as the last light showed her father sitting in a chair next to him.
His posture was like Amanda's. He was sitting proper with a glass of wine in his hand. "Hello Alexandra," he took a sip of the drink, "Come now, put the gun down."
Alex didn't follow the order. "Not until I get Sean back." She kept the gun aimed at her father.
"Can't we just talk?" he acted with poise. It just ticked her off more.
"I have nothing to say to you," she had a glare in her eyes.
Her papa stood up carrying the glass. "When we heard that some strange man was asking about my daughter, my first reaction was that it was gogle. I would of let him just go on, but he started to sniff in places he shouldn't have," his voice became furious, "I had my men grab him. He was strong at first as we tortured him."
Her father walked over to Sean and pinched his cheek before slapping it, "Didn't you?"
Alex was about to jolt forward, but couldn't. What was she going to do? She had her finger on the trigger but couldn't pull it. Even after everything she couldn't do it. "Stop it!" she demanded.
"That's right you care for him. At first we questioned why he was asking for you. Did you owe drug money? Was he going to kill you? But then it came to me. He's your little toy," he smashed his glass on the chair he was sitting in. The piece he was holding became a weapon, as the end of it was as sharp as a knife.
He quickly lunged placing the glass knife right above Sean's heart. It didn't impale him but it was only a centimeter close.
"Drop it!" Alex demanded yelling.
Nikolai chuckled a little bit, "I grow tired of your games Alexandra. I love you and I want to help you."
"Then let him go!" she was fearful of what the outcome of this might be.
"Ohh I will. But if I'm going to something for you then you are going to do something for me," he put the glass on Sean's chest it slowly began to dig into him.
Her finger shook on the trigger. She wanted to save Sean. She wanted to get him back. But flashbacks of her childhood came flooding back, the way her father would surprise her in the morning with breakfast sometimes, the way they played soccer together, so many emotions running through her.
She could feel her finger tighten up and slowly pull the trigger.
"Fine! Just stop it!" she yelled out lowering her gun
Before the bullet was launched her finger relaxed. She couldn't do it. She couldn't kill her father. They were still blood. She knew it wasn't realistic but she hoped her father might come back to her. The way he was when she was a child.
"Good my Alexandra. If you just do what I say then you won't need to make these tough choices," he brought out the glass from Sean's flesh. A small amount of blood covered the glass edge. He didn't move it to far away from the wound.
"All I need you to do is something small. I just need you to download a file from Division and bring it to me. That's it," he was calm again but her fear was still there.
"What's on the file," she asked.
"Isn't questions what got us in this situation?" he was sarcastic.
"Fine," she was filled with defeat.
"Now to make sure my possible future son in law won't be a waste to me we gave him a parting gift. We placed a small explosive in his stomach. It has attached to his stomach's wall and isn't coming off any time soon," he brought out a small remote from his pocket, "Now I know what you're thinking. So don't try it. If you try to remove it through surgery it will explode. The only way for you to save him is to do what I say and I will deactivate it."
He untied him and threw him at Alex. She quickly rushed to catch Sean before he fell to the ground. He was barely awake as she could see the damage and possible concussion to his head. "I'll see you soon my daughter," her papa said as he walked into the darkness.
Alex didn't have time to chase him. She knew Sean needed medical attention and quick. She put his arm around her and supported him as they walked out. She saw guards everywhere, but they weren't doing anything. They just stood there at their posts.
As she exited the building a car was waiting for her. She placed Sean in passenger seat. As she walked over to the driver's seat she looked at the dreaded building. This place only brought her pain. She couldn't stand it.
She got in the car and drove off. She needed to hurry if she wanted to make sure Sean will be okay.
As they drove into the Division garage Nikita and medics ran out of the elevator. The medics sprinted to Sean and placed him on a stretcher. Alex was about to follow them to stay with him, but Nikita stopped her.
"Alex! Ryan's gone mad!" Nikita had a panicked look.
"What's going on?!" Alex's nightmare hadn't ended that day yet.
"Ryan took Elizabeth!" a tear ran down Nikita's face.
Say what Elizabeth is gone?! Lol Before I say anything I really hope this chapter wasn't to long! I had some good ideas I wanted to place in it so I didn't want to rush it. If it's to long please tell me so I can make the next one shorter if need be. But anyway. Will Alex get Elizabeth back? Will she do what her father said and save Sean? What's on the file? I hope you liked this chapter. Much love to you all! :)
