*****ROAD*****
Penn drove along the silent and odd road while the rest trailed behind him quietly
Rocky, Ash and Itzel went with him while the rest occupied two other cars
“We forget to call the cops”. Itzel said and Penn nod
“I got that covered. Catching a criminal like him requires the cops”. Penn said and they nod while Rocky hissed in frustration
Penn got the clue and increased his speed while Itzel gasped and held Ash hand tight. He got the clue and wrapped his arms around her. Rocky hissed and looked away cursing inwardly
Penn stopped the car and dialed a number. He spoke for a while and drove off again leaving Rocky suspicious
*****ONE HOUR LATER*****
Penn pulled up on front of the gateless building. He came down after telling them not to come down until it’s time giving them full description
The others pulled up at a distance in other not to raise an alarm. They also got the time to come out with description and they waited patiently while the cops hid themselves in the every corner around the house because Penn told them every escaping route
*****FLASHBACK*****
“Don’t come out until you hear your phone ding. I’ll try and work with time”. Penn said and the nod except Ash and Rocky who insisted on going with him
“I’m serious here. The cops might have surrounded the building but trust me, he always have a way out of trouble”. He yelled and Ash scoffed
“We are talking about my sister!!”
“We are talking about my girlfriend!!”
They both yelled while Penn breathe out in frustration. He looked at them and brought out his gun
“I’ll blow off your head if you both don’t cooperate. It’s better alive than been dead. If you can’t follow simple order then go out and die because I won’t be the one ki||ing you but him!!”. He yelled while Itzel screamed holding Ash tight to herself
“Follow the description I wrote down and text me if you don’t see her but ensure you check the three places well before texting me”. He added
“Fine. I’ll stay back but if anything happens, I won’t think twice before coming out”. Ash said and turned to Itzel
“Are you okay?”. He asked and she nod while he smiled lightly while Rocky groaned in pain immediately he felt a sharp pain on his stomach
“Is he really her boyfriend? How come he said he was just her friend in the hospital? Can I even trust him enough to that level? I don’t think so”. Ash thought as he stared at Rocky groaning softly
“Suit yourselves”. Penn said and came down from his car
*****BACK TO PRESENT*****
Rusty walked out immediately he heard honking sound. Penn came out of car and stood in front of him smiling
“Long time no see son”. Rusty said and Penn bow slightly
“Same here”. He replied shortly
“So tell me… What brought you here? Have you seen the girl? Remember I told you not to come back without the girl”. Rusty said and Penn nod in agreement
“I have lot of things to say about the girl and how you can find her. At least, let’s go in and talk. It’s been years. You know?”. He said and Rusty nod leading the way inside
Penn brought out his phone and sent a text message to Rocky. He also walked in and went straight to Rusty’s room. He met him seated with his legs crossed
He also sat and rubbed his laps steadily while Rusty noticed his behaviour
“So what is it you want to tell me?”
*****Rocky, Itzel and Ash came down from the car and quickly ran to the door. They open it gently and sneaked in gently. They looked around and saw the long passage. They ran to it hurriedly and ran down the passage while Itzel kept breathing heavily
***
Rusty’s trusted men were dining in a room when Rodeo heard noise. He stopped what he was doing and they all looked at him wondering why he stopped
“Did you guys hear noise coming from the passage?”. He asked and they all shook their head negatively
“Did you hear any?”. Cutler asked and he nod looking at the door
“That was just an imagination. Ignore it”. Tiger said and he nod taking his eyes from the door
***
They got to a huge iron door hindering then from moving further. Ash pushed it slightly and it gave way immediately while they walked in and closed it back
They climbed down the staircase and saw small lightening at the bottom of the stairs. They hurriedly descended the staircase aiming to get there on time
They finally did and Itzel tugged Ash shirt tight from behind and he looked back immediately
“I’m scared”. She said looking around the dark room with small lightening. Rocky put on his phone torchlight searching for a switch
“I’m sorry. Let’s find the switch and know our faith”. He said and she nod holding his arm
Rocky found it and switch on the light. They heard a faint gasped and turned sharply
Ash looked around but found no one while Itzel screamed
“Over there”. She screamed pointing at another direction. The rushed towards the direction and Rocky froze immediately at the sight of Channel chained to a huge stone soaked in her own blood
Ash blood boiled immediately he saw the heartbreaking scene and vowed to ki|| the person inwardly
Tears poured down his eyes as he gradually went down on his knees. He knees hurt and he cared less because right now the pain he is feeling in his chest istwice the pain on his knees
Itzel slowly let go of Ash and rushed towards the stone. She grabbed the lock on the chain and Birdie came of her hiding spot pointing a gun at her
She moved back a bit staring at Birdie and the gun in her hand. Birdie walked to channel and placed the gun on her skull while she shivered
“One more step and I’ll blow off her head”. She thr_@tened and Ash tried moving. She Ç0çƙed the gun and Ash stopped immediately
“Don’t mess with me!”. She yelled and Rocky looked up immediately
***
Penn rounded his conversation with his dad hoping he doesn’t bother him anymore
“Wow. Never knew you came back with something useful. You are indeed a true son but too bad I don’t have the girl”. Rusty said and Penn looked up sharply
“This information will help look for her. I don’t have her and I planned on sending my men to search for her again”. He said playing a trick on him while Penn looked at him confusedly
“You mean you don’t have her? Like she is not with you?”. He asked and Rusty nod playing tricks on him
“Any problem?”. Rusty asked and Penn shook his head covering his confused look with a smile
“Have fun. I’ve got something to do. The boys are probably chilling in the spare room. Feel free to join them”. Rusty said and walked out of the room heading to the basement
Penn brought out his phone and dialed Rocky’s number which he picked at the last ring
“Found her?”. He asked and he smiled when he heard the response. He hanged up and ran out of the room also heading to the basement. He got to the passage and stopped when he saw Rusty tiptoeing behind him
Rusty heard footsteps at his back and turned but saw no one. He shrugged and proceeded to the door. He stopped for a while to examine the door and he noticed someone touched the door
He hurriedly pushed it running down the stairs. He froze when he saw the sight in his front
He laughed and walked closer to the scene. He kept laughing trying to distract Birdie but she seems smarter than he thought
“Wow! Nice move you’ve gat there”. He said clapping his hands while Ash rushed to him and threw him an heavy punch. He lost his balance and fell on the hard floor
He got up and wiped the blood on his nose with the back of his hand. He smirked and brought out his gun pulling Itzel to himself roughly
“Let’s see how it goes”. He smirked aiming it at Itzel’s skull
Penn rushed down the stairs with the rest and four cops while they stopped for a while to examine what is going on
“Channel!!!!!!!”. Arlette screamed immediately she saw a gun pointed at her skull
She ran towards her and Birdie diverted the gun to her which her stop
“Take a step and lose your legs”. She said darkly while April and Resse exchanged look
“Put the gun down!!!”. A cop yelled and she smiled shaking her head negatively
“Why are you doing this?”. Rocky asked soberly while she let out and evil grin
“I’ve always loved you but not any more. You chose this thing over me when you just got to know her. You detest me and you did everything just to make sure I get embarrassed. All I have done was to love you but you never reciprocated that. There is no hope in living for me when I’m totally ruined. Say good bye to your love”. She said and shot Rusty twice before $h00ting Channel from behind
“Channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
