A Dozen Roses(A Skylox Fanfic)

Chapter 15 Pocket Knife

Sky POV

Cop cars blared down the streets trailing Ian's black suburban, which was going very many miles over the speed limit. The minute he knew his sons life was in danger he made a break for the car.

Not even five minutes later a call had come threw saying the school was on lock down because of an intruder that was likely armed.

"Maddie isn't answering her cellphone" Ian muttered angerily, "She's gotta be at the school. The one time I let Colton attend Saturday school because of that stupid play they're doing he gets caught up like this!"

"Ian you couldn't have known. Stop blaming yourself." I exclaimed gripping the door handle. The thirty minute drive had turned into a fifteen minute drive with an angry Ian at the wheel.

"I'm gonna kill that bastard if he lays a hand on either of them." I sighed and grabbed my phone calling up Mitchell.

"Top Canadian at your service!"

"Mitchell I need you to get into the cameras of the Elementary School on Fourth Street." I could hear typing.

"Yeah shouldn't be a problem..." He paused, "Wait...Someone else is in the system right now. I can't see any of the cameras. No visual no audio."

It had to be Deadlox's tech person. I don't know his name but I know it had to be him.

"Try and kick them from the system or get an IP address." The typed continued then grew louder.

"No! He booted me from the system! That asshole! I'll find his IP and wipe his God damn computer!" Mitchell's typing became more furious and frantic. "Fuck I can't get in. You guys are gonna have to go in blind. I can try hacking into the computer but i don't know. I'm picking up two IP address's that are hacked in besides mine."

"Well do what you can. Were setting up the police blockaid and then Ian, Jerome, and Myself are heading inside. Call Jason or Tyler if you get into the system."

"Got it! Tell everyone i say Stay safe!" I ended the call and shoved my phone in my pants pocket. Ian was tapping his fingers nervously against the steering wheel.

"Come on Ian. Let's kick ass." He shot me a nervous grin and hopped out of the car. We found Jerome standing near the cop car barricade gripping his gun wearing his bulletproof FBI vest.

I got a bullet proof vest from one of the officers and strapped it on. I hated these things, so tight and Itchy. Ian strapped one on as well.

"Any idea where there at?" I asked one of the officers.

"The play practice was being held in the auditorium so that's our best guess. Witness's who left the building claim to have seen three men, two looking rather foreign and another who was short brown hair and a single red eye.

"He's here?" Jerome questioned raising his eyebrows. "And he brought two henchmen."

"Doesn't matter were taking three people in." Ian exclaimed, "Jerome I want you getting anyone out of the building. Sky you and me are going to the auditorium. You know Deadlox the best and can anticipate his every move. Let's go."

Ian led us into the building guns raised and ready. The halls were empty and quiet. Quieter than they've ever been.

The auditorium was in the center of the school near the cafeteria. The closer we got we began to hear voices.

"I said be quiet!" It was Bodil's thick Bulgarian accent that swung threw the air. We rounded a corner our guns raised to see Bodil and what I assumed to be Simon. All the parents were sitting against the wall petrified by the two men with guns.

"I see we have guests!" Simon chirped upon seeing us. His accent was even thicker than Bodil's.

"Where's my son?" Ian hissed stopping about 15 feet away, "And my wife?"

"Oh Deadlox is dealing with them." Bodil said grinning, "He says he wants to speak with you Sky." He glanced at my gun still holding his own, "unarmed."

I glanced at Ian and slowly placed my gun back in its holster then removed the holster and handed it to Jerome

"What are you doing?" Ian hissed.

"Trust me. Deadlox won't hurt me." I held up my hands and approached cautiously. Bodil eyed me and stepped closer once I was in reach and patted my sides, pockets, and ankles quickly. Searching for a weapon.

"Threw the doors." I gave him a nod and pushed threw the doors. Deadlox stood in the center of the stage with Colton sitting by his feet. Maddie was sitting in the front row of seats several children huddled around her.

"Oh Adam I see you've come to join me!" His voice sounded almost excited. Maddie turned her head and gave me a pleading look.

"Deadlox you need to let these children go." I exclaimed walking casually down the steps and up to the stage. I could now see the whole place better. The children were huddling close to Maddie but all in view. Colton was sitting with his knees pulled to his chest and cheeks stained with tears.

"Ah you've gone back to the term Deadlox. It's a shame really." He sighed, "I rather like this boy he acts very well. I'm sure Ian won't miss him." Colton closed his eyes tightly as Deadlox reached down and patted his head.

"D-...Ty let Colton go to his mother." I exclaimed again walking closer. He gripped his knife tightly.

"Ah so that's his name. Colton. You know a Colt is a type of gun. I've used one before; very little kick back." He babbled on. I watched as he twisted the knife and twirled it in his hand.

I drew my interest to the knife. A long metallic blade with a handle made of emerald and black metal. I tried to place a name for it.

"You like it?" Ty asked holding up the knife, "I just had her sharpened. I call her Life."

"Why choose Life?" I asked simply. He sighed contently.

"Have you noticed how often Ian works? How often he leaves his wife and son alone? I'd kill for a family like them Adam" he twirled the knife and brought the blade to his lips, "He doesn't deserve them."

"Colton deserves to be with his mother. He's startled. Would you allow him to move?" Ty seemed to contemplate the idea.

"What do I get out of it?"

"I won't let Jerome blow your brains out." He laughed.

"Fair enough." He held the knife with one hand the other seizing Colton by the arm yanking him to his feet. The boy whimpered terrified. "Go on you twit. To your mother." Colton waisted no time sprinting over and hurling himself into his mothers arms. Maddie held him and rocked him slowly.

"I think it's time I left my dear Adam." Ty said almost sadly, "It seems once more you've foiled my mission."

"I don't think your going anywhere Ty." I said moving closer. "It's time you came with us." He stared at me for a moment and guess what he did? He laughed.

He fucking Laughed.

"You honestly think I'm going to become your prisoner my dear?" He said sharply, "oh Adam you make me laugh. The only prisoner will be you one day." I stepped forward and he stepped back. He twirled his knife and pointed it at me.

I smirked and dug into my back pocket pulling out a small pocket knife with a 3 inch blade.

"You wanna dance let's dance." I twisted the knife and charged at him.

I was ready for a fight.
