Sambucky - Figuring out feelings: Book 1, 2 And 3

Book 2: Chapter 25: Crash

'Olivia! Are you ok!?'

The car had stopped. Bucky undid his seat belt and opened the door of the car. Sam was close behind.

No one outside.

Bucky walked to the front of the car and looked in to the driver seat.

She was gone. And Alex was lying unconscious in the passenger seat.

'Sam'
'Yeah?'
'She's gone'

Sam walked towards Bucky. He was concerned.

'Maybe... She's in the back?'

Bucky smirked.

'I doubt it but sure... Let's check'

They both made their way to the back of the car. Bucky pulled the back open. Empty.

'Wait. We should watch Alex-'

The car slammed into them.

'Sam!'

Bucky jumped up. He was fine of course. Sam was lying on the ground.

'Sam!'

Bucky shook him. Unconscious.

Oh no.

The car was backing into him again.

'What the-'

Bucky stopped the car with his left hand and rushed to the front. The car shot away.

Bucky swore viciously.

'Bucky... Are you ok?'
'No. Alex got away. No upper hand now'

Sam groaned and stood up unsteadily. Bucky ran to support him.

'We have to get him'

Bucky suddenly slumped.

'I should have chased him. I would have caught it-'
'No. I'm glad you stayed'

Silence.

'We have to find Olivia'
'Yep'

They both spread out to look. Sam rang her phone. It went to voicemail.

'No answer'
'I hope she's OK'

Bucky was worried now. He hoped she hadn't got hurt.

More hurt.

'Wait'

Sam was standing motionless. He suddenly snapped his head up and looked Bucky in the eye.

'She was chipped, right?'
'Yes?'
'So... He has control of her'

Bucky froze. Oh no.

Oh no.

'Sam, Sam. We have to get out of here! That was just a distraction. He sent his robots right?'

Sam jumped up and grabbed Bucky's arm. He looked panicked.

'What do we do? We are in the middle of nowhere without a car!'

Bucky tried to think. They didn't have much time. There was nothing.

Unless.

Bucky turned to Sam. He considered his options. Could they trust Rhodey to come get them? Would he be fast enough?

'Sam. Call Rhodey'

Sam looked surprised.

'Are you sure-'
'Yes. He needs direct contact to control. If we remove the chip then... It'll be fine'
'Right'
'Just don't tell me the details in case we have to knock him out or something'
