everything around them. She noticed two guys-a
chestnut haired guy (who also looked a bit familiar) and an older
looking guy- beginning to cover the entrance with sandbags. The
tunnels, along the tops of the walls, were lined with small lamps,
decorating the walls. She noticed the amount of people there: one
woman with blond hair, and at least six guys, just like Nick said.
And finally, she spotted Holly and Keith, sitting on the floor
against the wall, which was where Avery and Alex were also forced to
sit down. Avery noticed Holly and Keith's clothes were stained with
blood. Dried blood was on Keith's face, mainly around his nose and
mouth. And Holly had dried mascara down her cheeks, a small bruise
against her forehead. While Keith and Holly noticed fresh blood all
over Avery and Alex's clothes and hands. They could see small amounts
of glass on their hands, sparkling from the dim light.
Jeff
shoved Alex down, forcing him to sit next to Holly. Trevor took Avery
past Alex, Holly, then Keith, turning her to face him," Sit
down," he ordered and she sat down next to Keith.
"Are
you alright?" Keith asked her after Trevor walked away, seeing
the blood on her jeans," what'd they do to you guys? You both
look like crap."
"All
he did was tie my wrists," she responded," but Alex and I
wrecked. Besides, you two don’t look any better either. In
fact, you look worse."
"They
didn't beat you guys like they did us?" Holly asked, looking
past Keith at Avery then at Alex.
"No
and yes," Alex said.
"One
of them hit Alex repeatedly and fought with him when we almost got
away," Avery added," all that was done to me was a short
lived fight then me and that guy,” she nodded at Trevor,”
rolled on the bed, fell on the floor on a dead body then my wrists
zip tied. And we were shot at." Keith thought about what all she
said and realized some of it was a bit out of context.
"That
sounds a bit wrong," he told her.
"What’s
wrong is these guys attacking us for no reason,” she responded
back.
"Anything
else happen?" Keith asked her, looking from her to Alex.
"No,”
she said and shook her head,” but we need to get out of here or
something.” Just then, they stopped talking and watched the
leader of the group with his people walk up to them.
"Looks
like we have a couple of girls and two new guys," he said,"
we've been in need of some human shields." Holly felt her heart
beat race for a moment out of fear.
"How
long do you plan on keeping us here?" Holly asked, trying not to
cry.
"Don't
know," he responded," usually we kill new people who come
through here 'cause they don't look useful enough for us. But, I hear
you and him," he gestured at Keith while looking at Holly,"
put up a little fight, not a big fight, but one enough to injure my
Lucinda. And you two," he said to Avery and Alex," put us
in a car chase for a bit, wrecked then still tried to fight with us.
I see some use for you four. And besides," he continued,
pacing," Trevor gave me some good reasons not to kill you. But,
I'm going to be a bit professional about this and just discuss it
with whoever is in charge in your small group." They looked at
one another, trying to decide on who exactly would be considered the
leader in their group and that’s when Avery noticed one person
missing from their group.
"Alex
will," Holly responded and nodded at him. Charles gestured and
Alex was pulled up by the chestnut haired guy.
"Before
I go with you," Alex said," untie us first." Charles
stared at him then scoffed and ordered his group to untie them. The
chestnut haired guy cut the zip tie from Alex's wrists, freeing them.
"None
of you better try a thing though, or you will be killed,"
Charles said. Nick undid Holly's rope, Jeff undid Keith's, and Trevor
cut the zip ties from Avery's wrists. "Stay there while I talk
with your boss here." Alex followed Charles down the tunnel to
talk in privacy. Holly looked at Lucinda.
"Um,
should we worry?" She asked her.
