Henry's POV

I grabbed my gun from the passenger seat and got out of my car.

"Please be in here" I whispered as started walking to the dark alley

I saw the door start to open so I swiftly hid behind one of the rusty barrels. I watched as Angie clicked her heels against the pavement confirming that something must be in there.

I made sure I was kept unseen until I knew Angie was out of sight. I stood back up and made my way to the old rustic door. I opened it, revealing darkness.

"Lola?" I whispered hoping she was near by.

I walked further inside but stopped when I heard a voice.

"Hey, You!" A male said making me run

I ran into the darkness holding on tightly to my gun. I really don't want to use this thing.

"Intruder Alert. Intruder Alert" A women voiced out throughout the building.

"Fuck" I cursed

I heard the footsteps behind me grow closer and started to panic. I made a sharp right turn and found a door making me gain some hope. I ran towards it and quickly glanced back to see that I lost the man that was chasing me.

I opened the door and saw Lola on the floor crying.

"Lola!" I exclaimed rushing over to her side

"Don't let the door close!" She yelled getting up from her feet

She ran over to the closing door but it was too late. I also ran over and began jiggling the handle. We're stuck.

I frustratingly kicked the wall and knelt down on the ground.

"I could've saved you! God, I'm such a fuck up!" I angrily said clenching my fists

"Calm down, they're going to find us and We might get separated but let's promise that we won't talk. If they ask about Blake, Emma or each other we say absolutely nothing, ok?" Lola sniffled sitting down next to me.

"I'm sorry" I told her making her give me a sad smile before bringing me in for a hug.

"You just risked your life for me. I don't care if you got me out or not, knowing you care this much is all I need" she said rubbing my back.

"I promise you that I'll get you out of this mess" I told her.

She nodded her head and softly kissed my lips before standing up again.

"Jack is here, so is Max" she said making me scrunch my nose

"Max? I can understand Jack, I saw him in the barn that night when Blake was in the hospital but Max?" I said trying to think what relation Max and Angie must have.

"I don't know why he's here. I tried asking Jack what was happening but he kept ignoring me and telling me to leave" Lola said as she started pacing back and forth.

"Did they at least say why they took you?" I asked her making her roll her eyes.

"They grabbed the wrong girl according to Angie, Emma is the real target" Lola said

"Well, maybe-"

"Don't move!" A male voice boomed from behind me

I peered over my shoulder and saw Max holding the gun I dropped on the ground as I came in.

I looked back at Lola who was already staring at me. She gave me a slight nod before lifting her hands above her head slowly. I took in a deep breath and made a crazy decision.

I caught Max by surprise when I ran over to him and punched him straight in the jaw. He stumble a little but gained his balance back. He gave me a sickening smile before slamming his fist in my gut, causing me to collapse on the ground.

"Henry!" I heard Lola yell while rushing to my side

"You shits are going to regret this" Max mumbled.

"Let go of me!" Lola screamed while Max grabbed her by the arm and dragged her away from me.

I slowly got up, coughing a bit but stopped when I saw Max place the gun to my girlfriend'a head.

"Make one step and she's dead" he said pressing the gun into her temple.

I raise my hands in surrender and watched as Lola began to struggle against Max's grip.

"Trevor!" Max yelled

Soon, Trevor's figure stepped out into the dimly lit room looking absolutely terrible. His face looked so drained and he looked completely tired.

"Yes?" Trevor mumbled

"Grab her, help me take these two back in the main room." Max grumbled forcefully shoving Lola towards Trevor, who softly grabbed her arm.

"C'mon" he said in a monotone voice before guiding Lola out of the room.

"Now, if you ever try to escape again, I'll kill you" Max spat before slamming my body against the wall.

Max roughly grabbed a hold on my shirt and pulled me out of the room.

"Wait until she finds out" Max said pushing me down into a chair next to Lola.

I felt Trevor tie my hands and feet together before moving to Lola. After he finished, he placed black duck tape on our mouths making me mentally roll my eyes.

Now I can't talk to Lola.

I watched as both Trevor and Max left the room and looked over at my girlfriend who just stared back with sad eyes. My heart broke knowing I couldn't save her or make her feel safe.

"Now, care to share how this one escaped?" I heard Max ask in front of us in the dark.

There was no response but we soon saw Jack being shoved to the ground in front of us. His nose was bleeding and it looked like Max just best the crap out of him.

"You're pathetic" Max said stepping into the light as well.

Max grabbed Jack and picked him off of the ground. He pushed him down into one of the spare chairs and forcefully tied his hands and feet together.

"She's going to be mad when she gets back" Max smiled still holding the gun I brought in.

He twirled the weapon in his hand and pointed it at jack. I closed my eyes and waited for the sound of the gun shot but it never happened. Instead I heard a sickening laugh coming out of Max's mouth.

I watched as he walked out of the light and made his way away from us, leaving us waiting for Angie to return.

I wonder what she'll do...She can't be that bad, right?
