#7 THE RESCUE
*.*.*.*.*.*.*MORIAH.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
I don't know how long I have been down here. I don't know the time. I don't know how my family is doing. The concrete floor and walls dig Into a person's skin and the dim-lit light above offered little to none light.
They come in daily to throw a plate of food in front of us. Well, at least I think they come once a day. The distant screams would echo down the halls and I could only pray for the people that they were coming from.
"Moriah?" I hear my sister groan next to me.
"yes, Rebekah?" I whisper but it sounds as if I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"Why are we here?" she asks even though we have discussed this probably a hundred times.
I stand up and shove aside the feeling of dizziness. Using the wall to balance I make my way over to the corner where she had curled herself into a ball.
"We are going to be ok," I state sliding down the wall. I lay my arm behind her head with a sigh. "I don't know why we are here but we will get out."
In my stomach, I knew that this was a test. A test on what? A test on my strength. My strength in the lord.
What times I don't spend sleeping or listening to my sister's cries I spend praying. Praying that someone will save us. Believe it or not, I feel it in My stomach that we will be ok.
But then there was that voice in the back of my head whispering.
no one is coming ...
but I would always push down my fears and give in to the greater possibility. Gods possibility. I knew he wouldn't let anything bad happen to us.
But then why are you here?
Isn't this bad?
Didn't he let this happen?
I pushed down my thoughts it's not about what happened it's about what could happen.
The door creaked open slowly letting the brighter lights whatever look behind the door seep through. I kept my eyes trained on the ground hoping that they would just dump the food and go like always.
"I must say" the black dress shoes tap the floors Moved closer. "You two are quite the talk of the week." A whimper sounded from next to me sending my fear into anger.
"Then could you tell me what they are talking about? I mean you have to be some reason we are so important." I say but I can't help the trembling in my voice.
"AH! important, my dear, well shall we skip the details. Let's just say you are my best greatest interest." I small sinister Cackle escaped his lips as he fiddled with the sleeve of his tux.
"Who are you?" I hear my sister mumble.
" Another question that I am afraid I cannot answer." I creepy smile still plastered on his face and he continued to fiddle with his sleeve.
The feeling in my gut told me this man wasn't stable. Aside from his dark and cruel exterior, he was insane. You could tell by the way he kept checking the time, the way his eyes and head would randomly twitch. The way he would chuckle at random times Almost as if he was a glitching evil robot.
"Well let's get the point." He clasps his hands together with a playful smile. "You're going on a little trip you will leave." He checks his watch again. "Right about...oh yes...now. You best pack your things."
Before I knew it men stormed into the room shoving burlap sacs over our heads the room became darker than before. I was lifted to my feet and started being shoved to who knows where. Praying all the while for the safety of my sister and my family.
Hoping the Lord would send his own angel to save me.
...................ZANE....................
It is currently 5:45 and I was just pulling into the meeting place. The leather on my arms hiding my tattoo's...and my hidden gun. I had one pistol strapped to my side where they could see it.
My heartbeat rapidly with excitement at what might be ahead. I used to fear what would happen on a mission then everything changed. A mission killed my father and almost everyone that I cared about. Now going into missions I don't care.
A black car was parked near a large brown Suburban. The guy from yesterday, who's name I think was Humphrey, stood next to the Suburban.
"your early." Humphrey barked and then turned and spit on the ground.
"you say that like it's a bad thing." I snap with a glare.
"hmph. " was all Humphrey had to say.
Over the course of the next ten minutes, three other guys showed up. Humphrey looked us all over with a stern glance.
"look here boys," he ordered even though everyone was already looking.
"Today we are moving 2 harmless prisoners to the other side of the state. When they get here we will move the prisoners to this." Humphrey slapped the side of the suburban. "you two will sit in the back by each window." he pointed to the two guys next to me." The other two will sit in the middle by each door." he pointed to me and another man that I think only had one tooth.
"The two girls will be in the middle. You are not to speak or touch them without permission from me. I will sit up front with the driver. Any questions?" Humphrey asked.
One guy raised his hand like a kid in class making me grin. "did you say they were women, sir?"
"yes." Humphrey stated wiping imaginary dirt off of his shoulder. "but no talking to them unless told and if any of you guys decide to get handsy then you will find yourself dead in the ditch before you can say sorry."
The black van pulled in making everyone go silent. No sooner had the van stopped, For armed guards slipped out of the back doors
Hurry up they shoved a girl out the van. pleas could be heard as a man grabbed her by the arm. the woolen mask over her face made it hard to see who it was making me mentally groan. from inside the Van, protests could be heard.
"Take off the mask, boy!" Humphrey yelled at me. Without a second thought, I grabbed the burlap sack and pulled it off her head.
The blonde angel yelled in shock then backed away as quickly as she could. I grabbed her arm and yank her back closer.
"Please don't hurt me!" He yelled as she started crying. Her eyes met mine and what I saw left me utterly confused. She never fazed as the fear stayed in her eyes, No sign of her knowing me showed on her face.
Maybe she truly forgot me.
Maybe she is scared is scare of me like the rest of these thugs surrounding me.
I am no good to anyone the quicker she learns that the better.
*clunk!*
A sharp pain coming from the back of my head made me wince. I stare at the converse on the ground in amazement before turning to see who threw it.
I watch as they literally drag a girl in a tiny red skirt from the van.
The skirt was hiked up from all of the strugglings she was doing, a tear up the side grew higher with every kick, making it reveal parts of what she wore underneath. A black lacy undershirt needed readjusting showed parts of her bra.
Being the person I am, I soaked in all the beauty of this woman while I watch the guard struggle to move her. Then anger rises within me. With angel still in one hand that meant the girl in the red skirt was nothing but a decoy. They must have split the two sisters up for security reasons.
"Get ahold of that tramp, boys!" Humphrey ordered shoving his way past me and grabbing her arm. "If you don't quit your struggling I will shoot this other one." Humphrey slipped his gun from his holster and aimed it at angel who stood next to me.
I braced myself for what could happen next. Planning my next move. The girl in the red skirt stopped struggling and bowed her still covered head in defeat.
"Atta girl." Humphrey grinned then turned to look at me. " what are you doing!? Put that bag back on her head! Get them in the car boys!"
Two minutes later we all were sitting in our assigned seats. Angel sat in the back while the red skirt girl sat next to me.
*seating chart to make it easier.* ;)
30 minutes into the drive no one had said a word. The guy on the other side of me ever so often slowly moves his hand over and set in on red skirts knee.
Even under the sack, you could tell that she was startled. She would smack his hand away and then Scoot closer to me. Eventually, she has plastered against my side to escape the touch of the other guard.
We pass a large sign and my car speeds out from behind it.
That's my cue.
I Reach in front of me and loop my arm around Humphrey's neck. I pull my gun and aim it behind me at one of the guards.
"The car beside us is currently aiming an AK47 directly at this car. Unless you pull over in the next 15 seconds he will blow this car to the moon." I give them my threat and hope they take the offer and pull over.
The driver sends a panicked look and Humphrey but to the driver's dismay, Humphrey was choking under my hold. His arms flailing as he gasps for air.
"Don't. Do. It" Humphrey muttered between gasps.
"5.4.3." I count down the driver never gives in. "Why do they always choose the hard way!" I grit.
*warning next section contains heavy violence that will lead to death. You have been warned.*
I snap Humphrey's neck and shoot one of the guys behind me in the arm. I untangle my arm from Humphrey and grab my extra gun. Cries of angel and the pleas of guy who sat next to her made me roll my eyes.
The guy on my row slings open the door and jumps out.
Coward.
Deciding the last unharmed guard was to busy freaking out to do anything, I jump over the front seat and grab the driver's head and smash his head into the window beside me sending shards of glass everywhere.
With one swift punch, The still dazed driver's head slumped in his unconscious state. The car had slowed to 30 mph by the time I got the door open and pushed the driver out of the car.
Taking his seat i stear the car to the side of the road. I signal to joab, who was currently driving my car beside us still. We find the nearest small dirt road and drive down it. I park the car in time to hear joab.
" so..." joab says through the window of the car that I had broken. "I think you lost a few."
"Did we get them?" Joab asked slinging the car open. I reply with a grunt. By the time I had gotten out joab last two guards out. He collected the weapons and cell phones while I loaded the girls in the back of my car.
I raise my gun and shoot the tire of the suburban and it exploded with a loud pop.
"Tell your boss that next time he tried to mess with us I will shoot more than his tire," I say starting my car.
Joab runs and jumps in the car settling in the back in between the girls. With a skid of my tires, we swerve down the raid to make the end of a perfect rescue.
...............................
We pull into the base just 45 minutes later. Once we pull past the large iron gates I place the car in park and slip out the side. The girls had sat in the back without a word, the sacks left on their heads to keep out location safe.
We helped them to the apartments and then to the spare bedroom. Joab slides off Angels mask to reveal a puffy-eyed girl who looks as if she'd been crying for days.
Their eyes met and for a brief moment, hope flashed in her eyes. Then her eyes met mine. The hope vanished and was replaced with fear.
"Please dont hurt me!" She yelled.
She acts like she still doesn't know me.
"Please I didn't do anything wrong!" She backs up. Joab grabs her arm and yanks her towards him. She threw her arms around Joabs waist and nuzzled her head in his chest.
*thump*
I turn around to see red skirt girl struggling to get her bag off her head. I groan in annoyance and debate whether or not even taking off her covering. Deciding I needed to do my daily good deed and I approach her and reach for the sack. She thrashed her arms around and knock my hands out of the way.
"Quit it I am trying to help!" I say my voice lace with my clear annoyance. She smacks my face in her squabbling sending me over the edge.
I grab her by the waist and fling her into the full-size bed in the middle of the room. Climbing on top of her I sit on her stomach. I force her hands above her head holding her in place. I hold her hands with one of my own while my other hand reached towards her sack covering her face.
With a steady hand, I slip the sack off her face.
No way.
I stare in amazement at the angel look-alike.
Oh, wait...they are twins...they must be identical. That would explain the other one's whiny attitude.
Unlike her sister, the eyes of this one held no fear they only held anger. I could tell in that moment my angel was not the delicate girl crying in joabs arms.
"You." She whispered. She sighed in relief before realizing our position. She started to squirm but I held my place.
"What are you doing?" She grunts still trying to give up. "Where are we?"
"I believe you mean 'thank you'," I smirk as she gives up fighting. "I saved you."
"You killed those men!" She grits looking anywhere but me.
"Your welcome." I wink and climb off her. She sits up instantly and scurries to the other side of the bed.
I scan over her body and was actually pleased with what I saw. She caught me looking and moved to fix her top and tried sliding her skirt farther down her legs. In her attempt to be modest she only ripped her skirt higher.
I snicker escapes my lips as I lift myself from the bed. She glared my way and crosses her arms in front of her.
"What?" She snaps and adjusts her tank black tank tops straps to show less what lay underneath.
"It's cute how you try to cover yourself." I match her action and cross my arms in front of me.
"I am sorry Zane but Unlike your usual female company I would prefer my clothes to stay on and less of my skin to be showing." another attempt to fix her skirt only resulted in her tearing it again. One more tear and I don't think it would be together anymore.
" isn't that a shame," I wink again then grab my shirt corner. With a quick motion, I yanked my grey v-neck shirt off and toss it in her direction.
She grabs the shirt and slips it on before I could blink. She sat on the bed in my shirt and what was left of her skirt, looking completely innocent.
Dang.
ain't that a sight.
A sob breaks my stare.
" Rebekah!" Angel yells making the twin look up from joabs arms.
"Oh, Moriah!" Rebekah jumps from joabs arms and rushes to her twin. They entangled themselves in a hug.
"For your protection, you will stay here until I say otherwise. Don't bother escaping you won't make it out the gates. But if by some miracle you do then the people we just rescued you from will pick you up before you say 'oops'." Joabs follows me out of the room and I shut the door leaving them to calm down in peace.
