Own The World

Chap 15

Bailey's POV

We went to Hart Island and found the plot. "What does the map say?" I asked.

"Uhm," Lindy said looking at the paper. "Over there."

"Let's start digging," Alexis replied. We looked around. "Someone's already been here."

"Let's do this," I replied. We started digging. "This is going to take forever."

"We all have to dig," Alexis stated. "Now." We started digging. "This is still going to take a while. Let's keep digging and see where it leads us." We kept digging and digging. I finally hit a box. "I finally found something."

"Really?" asked Lindy.

"Do you wanna do it or do you want me to?" asked Alexis.

"I'll do it," I sighed. I opened the box. "It's empty and there's a tablet." I picked up the tablet and got out of the grave. "I hope these holds the answers to what you're looking for."

"Thank you," Lindy replied. "All of you for doing this."

"Yeah, well, it's not a problem at all," Alexis smiled. "We took a plane and then a boat. I want to help you."

"Why would you do something for someone you don't even know?" asked Lindy.

"She has a big heart," I replied. "She helped me and we barely knew each other. Now we're like the best of friends."

"Exactly," Alexis smiled.

Before I could say anything else, I was knocked out. When I came to I was in a bed. "What the hell?" I asked. I tried to open the door. "You've got to be kidding me! What kind of mess did you pull us into, Alexis?" I looked at the bed and got a spring. I bent it and picked the lock on the door. I got it opened. "Yes! I don't even know how I did that but I did."

I started walking around. Alexis bumped into me. "Oh thank god you're alive," Alexis replied. "You're the first one I found so far. The doors are locked. Come on." We started walking and heard music. "Shhh."

"Okay," I sighed. I followed right behind Alexis. We walked into a room and saw two manniquins. "Oh my god..." Alexis put her hand over my mouth. "Sorry." It all happened so fast. Alexis was kicked in the back and she was out the door. The door closed. "No!"

"What took you so long, sweetheart?" asked a guy.

"I know you," I replied. "You were in that file that Alexis debreifed us on." I backed up into the wall. "You're Luke. You're the killer."

"Well, I must say, you're a step up from Lindy and that detective out there," Luke replied. He walked closer to me and I kept moving. "For someone who's a detective, she's not that smart."

"She puts her family first," I replied. "And trust me, I'd rather have her than have you."

"Sit down," Luke said. I sighed. "SIT DOWN!" I did. "This is where my parents met. They were in love and it was perfect."

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.

"I spent my life looking for the right one," Luke sighed. "I thought Lindy was or the detective, until I saw you. Please be my perfect one."

"I'm not perfect," I replied. "I never was."

Luke held a knife. "I can fix you," Luke replied. "I know you can. You can save her." He turned on the TV and Britney was in a van. "She's out in that van out there."

"I can do it," I replied. I opened the door. "Let's go." I helped Alexis up. "Let's go help Britney."

"Yeah," Alexis replied. We started running. We jumped over cars and got to the van. "Britney!"
