I sat cramped into a dusty corner of the store, trying my very hardest not to lose my cool, the girl was being smart about the situation. She used one of the sharper corners of a shelf to break the tape apart; after she had done so, she ripper it off from her hands and mouth. After that she helped me out of my own restrictions.
I felt my heartbeat slowdown for a bit at the thought of her getting us out of here, that's when she reached down to her boot and pulled out a smaller revolver. The panic rose up in my chest and shot through my blood like a wildfire.

"Follow me", she barely mouthed and made her way over to the front. I had no other choice than to follow her, it's not like I could protect myself much against anyone in here, besides she seemed trustworthy for some reason.

I watched from the back of a shelf in the front as the girl sneaked up on of the guys, Seth, as she brought the gun of the the back of his head and hit him so he fell. The other one, Richie-the-crazy, immediately reacted and pulled up his gun but before I could even blink the girl had shot hole right through his hand. I flinched and held my mouth not to scream.

I continued to follow the girl when she dragged me along; not that I had any choice, she was much stronger than what she appears. We made it up to the door and just then Ranger Gonzalez fired off at us. The girl brought me quickly to cover before she got up herself and easily shot the Ranger twice. I watched in horror and tried to keep myself from getting frozen or shocked.

"I'm sorry Ranger, but I'm all about survival", she shouted matter-of-factly before bringing the both of us out of the shop and towards her car in a rather rush. Before I had time to settle into the seat, the girl drove off and away from the shop.

I felt myself getting sicker by the moment. I know those Rangers, well I knew them before, they were my uncles buddies. What the hell am I supposed to do now? This is crazy. I'm in a car with a lunatic; what was that about survival again? Don't get mixed up with the crazy ones. Which is just what you've done, Nikki. I stared long and hard out into the distance to try and gather my thoughts. But with everything that just happened– even I'm surprised I haven't broken down yet.

It must have been a several hour long drive, as for now the bright desert skies were covered in darkness and clouds, that's when the car got pulled over by the side of the road. Get out of here. That was my first instinct. So I smiled at her to cover my fright and reached for the door.

"Wait, you can't just go. We are in the middle of nowhere and it's night and those guys are probably after us and so is that ranger I shot", she said stopping me in my movements. I turned around quickly.

"Why did you shoot him? He's a good man, why are you so okay with shooting someone?", I snapped.

"He probably is a good man but he shot at us and that is a clear sign of threat to me. As I said to the ranger; I'm all about survival, my own especially", she answered and turned around to kick the door open.

I felt the rage burn up inside me, if this girl is so much about herself and her own survival? Why would she spend a single moment saving me? I slid through the door and walked up to her. I barely noticed the star shattered sky above.

"Then why the hell did you save me?", I questioned with a raised tone to her back. But before she had time to answer someone came up behind her in the dark and slammed a gun to her head. Seth. I was about to turn around and escape to the car when I bumped into someone tall. Oh no, not the crazy one.

"Nice to see you again", Richie smiled. Before I managed to get another shot at escaping he grabbed a tight hold of my upper arm and dragged me towards their car.

"What are you doing?", I said in a small voice, I tried to keep my voice strong, which surprisingly worked, although if I looked at either of the guys I knew my eyes would betray me. I kept my eyes focused on the unconscious girls body instead.

"Put her in the trunk, she will be more of a struggle", said Richie to his partner. They seemed similar in a way; perhaps brothers?

Neither of them registered my words and Seth popped up the trunk of the car. I couldn't see what he did to the girl he was holding, but I knew he seemed to be the more sane out of the pairing, so I had to trust he wouldn't hurt her. Richie on the other hand opened up the car door of the backseat and practically threw me inside.

He stared at me for a long while, something flashing in the depth of his bright eyes, but he brushed it off by slamming one of his free palms onto his forehead. Some of his brown slicked back hair fell over his face and he forced it back with the same hand before letting go of my arm. His eyes softened once more when he saw the terror in my expression.

"Don't try anything, we won't hurt you", Richie finished off and slammed the door shut with extra force that sent a jolt of chills up my spine and through my bones. Although something about his words only spoke like it was about himself. I shut my eyes and pressed myself against one of the doors of the black Chevy. There was no time to waste by trying to fight these grown men.

The both of the brothers, which I had concluded my thinking to since they were so alike, sat inside of the vehicle and Seth started up the beauty before driving off into the dark of the night. I leaned into the seat and felt something in the back pocket of my shorts; my notebook. Might as well occupy my mind further and try to figure some things out. That's what I always do when things do not make sense or add up– I figure them out.


We had been driving for a good while when the car finally pulled up by a motel of some sort. I must have passed out for a bit because now the sun was rising above the mountains of the desert. I rubbed the palm of my hands against my eyes to wake myself up. The guys had left the car, locked of course, to my guess get a room for us.

I looked through the window closest to me and noted the pool place just behind the rooms. Just then a loud thump, or several, threw me off guard. It must of been the girl.

"Hey, are you okay?", I shouted and twisted myself around and sat on my knees to try and get a better view through the back window and the trunk.

"I'm fine, it's just bloody small and dark in here", I heard her mumbled voice, she must have been out for a good while, just now I felt the adrenalin kick in. I had to get her out.

"Hold on, I'll get you out!", I shouted back and turned around once more to climb to the front. I slid into the drivers seat and tried opening the key box open; the one that would start the engine. I drew back and kicked the box twice before it finally broke.

I scanned the cables inside and pulled the white one before pulling the red one and linking the two together. Just then the engine roared, a successful grin plastered onto my face, I popped the trunk and heard the girl get out. I unlocked the door and got out myself.

"How did you do that?", the girl asked with a impressed tone while she stretched.

"I just know how things work", I answered with shrug. Unfortunately our chat was cut short when the two brothers stepped out of the building.

"Hey!", Seth shouted and they went for us, I looked at the girl for some help and she grabbed a hold of my hand as we started running in the opposite direction.

The wind grabbed a hold of my blonde locks and rushed through it. I hadn't ran like this in a while, especially not from anyone, I usually didn't like to get myself mixed up in stuff. The girl had the lead and dragged me along towards the street. I looked back but didn't see either of the brothers which only gave me a bad feeling.

"Where are they?", I shouted above my heavy breaths and the traffic in front of us. This morning especially was a busy one and the road was filled with many different means of transport. It was tourist season, well it always is tourist season here, which reminded me; where were we?

"Come on", she said and ignored my question as she pushed me into a small shop across the street. It seemed to be a clothes and supply store of some sort. The man behind the desk looked up and at us before he smiled in a strange way.

"Call me Athena", the girl whispered to me before she turned around with and with a sweet smile went up to the man behind the desk. They started talking about something but I couldn't tell what. I had my focus on the outside and saw a glimpse of someone in a black suit; I grabbed a red Nasa cap and tried to cover my face with it.

When I turned around again to the girl– Athena, she stood in front of a slumped body who was the shop owner I guessed, I raised my eyebrows confused at her. She shrugged and nodded towards the back door.

"Come on, we have to get away from these crazies", she simply stated, although I wasn't so sure she wasn't crazy, she had just knocked out an innocent man. I fixed the cap onto my head and followed Athena through the back door of the shop. I had a feeling she knew what she was doing, crazy or not, and I wasn't about to lose my life like this.

"Through here", she said in a distant tone as we passed through a long dusty corridor. She turned to me when we stopped outside another door. Something of recognition burned inside her eyes.

"I think I know you now, Nikki", she said with a slight smile but before I had time to answer or react other than to gasp a loud bam interrupted us. Athena opened the door in front of us and pushed me inside. I saw a glimpse of what seemed to be a man in a suit walking up to her before she slammed the door and shut me out of the scene.

I backed away and noticed where I was, it was dark and cold, some type of storage room. I felt myself back into something and suddenly a hand grasped my face and covered my mouth. I let out a muffled scream through the bandaged hand and knew exactly who it was. I felt his hand wrap around my lower stomach to hold me still.

"Don't fight me", Richie said in a pleading tone and I stopped struggling but still stood tense and on guard in his grip.

"Good girl", he whispered and pulled me along with him through the dark room. I hinted some light reflecting over his face and saw he wore a torn look over his face. It didn't seem like the same man I had seen before. Almost like someone else was controlling him.

Richie still held a tight grip around me as he continued to lead me out of the shop and over to the motel once more. He had taken the back route so we were now around the poolside. He pushed me across the poolside tile, I glanced onto the blue surface of the water; I hope you cannot swim Richie-the-crazy.
I used all of my force to elbow him in the gut and push him off me, he grunted but quickly got up. I thought at the spot and hit his hurting hand which caught him off guard like planned and then I pushed him into the pool.

"Sorry", I let out a gasp, which was more of a laugh, before I hurried out of there. I didn't want to stick around to see what he would do to me once he got out of there.

Now off to find Athena.
