Before it's too late

Dead

     "Don't hurt my family" Agnes screamed out still pounding on the glass. Officers stood guarding the door, arms crossed in confusion and frustration. They were helping this kid get away from these people, locking them up for good and she cared about them? Thought they were her real family?

"She can't except her reality."

"This was her new reality. What she went through the past seven years almost" She glanced back to Agnes her angry little face growling at them "this became her new reality."

"But I'm her brother. I'm her family." Brent said on the verge of tears. "Can't she remember that? Can't she see the wrong that they put her through?"

"She grew to trust them I suppose."

"That is messed up" Coleman cut in as he surveyed the area. "Where is this guy?" He muttered to himself.

Cassie and Rodrigo were taken care of, lead into the ambulance and wrapped in warm blankets and given warmer fluids.

"Almost ready to go" the medic stated as he bandaged up officer Burns arms more thoroughly.

"You should have just dumped me like a normal person." Saoirse said quietly as she kissed his head. She hated him but part of her would always love him.

"Alright pack up, and let's get you out of here" The medic moved to close Cassie, Rodrigo and Trevor in.

"Wait" Coleman called Saoirse over placing his jacket over her shoulders. "One of the brothers, the one that attacked you is still out here."

"You worried about me?" Saoirse said with a smirk. "Thank you" she glanced back at Trevor "for finding him."

"Yeah, well...You were a big help."

"I know" Saoirse said with a smile.

"Anyway" he directed the conversation back to the real danger "The guy is in uniform so I want you to stay with Burns and Andrews they will keep you safe." Saoirse nodded.

"Ahh" everyone looked to the ambulance or to where the ambulance should have been. It had been moved up the road slightly and seemed to be parked into a tree. The lights were off and the back door was closed with a rod, trapping them inside. Saoirse was supposed to ride back with Trevor they shouldn't have left without her but in that moment she was gold to not have been near the ambulance. Irons moved swiftly to the scream.

"Andrews? Andrews, Medic down medic down" he called placing a hand on Andrews neck. "There is a pulse" he called "but its weak." Cassie and Rodrigo were pounding on the door as they heard the screams and felt the car slam lightly into the tree.

"What's going on?" They asked urgently. "Open it up" Irons said as officers cautiously moved in on the car. They scanned the car before opening it. The engine was on and no one was in the front seats.

"Clear opening up."

"What's going on?" Cassie said breathlessly as she hopped out of the back shaking slightly.

"Yeah, I thought we were leaving this hell hole" Rodrigo stated angrily his fists clenched at his sides.

"Keep them close and keep your eyes open" Irons stated Cassie's breathing heavied as she followed the officers towards their rovers.

"Where's Trevor? Where is Trevor" Saoirse said as the two hostages came closer to the light. "Where is Trevor?" She demanded but they both just shook their heads clueless.

"We thought he was with you" Cassie said uneasy as her eyes darted around her looking for Drake, looking for Trevor.

The moonlight barely broke through the trees so they were relying mainly on their flashlights. Heartbeats thudded in the night as leaves whipped throughout the trees making an eerie wave of dread fall over everyone. Agnes banged on the window in protest while Prudence and Hector talked battle plans. Agnes still loved them, still wanted them. In a way they, Prudence, Hector and Drake had already won but it wouldn't make a different if they were all trapped in cells for the rest of their lives.
