Chicago's Furious

Give Up

Alexa's POV
After they guys left me on the ground, almost unconscious, I crawled over to a corner and put my legs close to my chest so I feel safer. But without a break, Gabe gets back in and looks at me. I look at him with a murderous look and he says.

Gabe: I can't wait to take that look off your face. We'll see how much you can hold.

Mia's POV
We finally arrive at Chicago and the first people we find in the airport, are Tej and Roman who had already come to help solve the problem with the accident. We greet each other and we get to the main topic.

Brian:Do we even have any idea of where Alexa might be?

Tej: Not at all. I search every camera to get a sign of her but still it takes time. I also got the police to put some trackers that if a camera catches her then I will be informed immediately, so I can guarantee you, we will find her.

I nod while I look at the horizon.

Roman: Maybe, go get your rooms at the hotel. It was a long trip. Go get some rest.

Dom looks at me and Brian.

Dom: You go, I'll go with Tej and Roman and get a better view of the situation.

I nod.

Mia:We'll come find you.

He nods back and we separate our ways.

Alexa's POV
I don't feel my body. It aches all over. From bottom to the top. Plus, I can't count how many scratches and wounds I have. I just sit on my corner, my head against the wall, waiting for the time I die. I know, I will never tell them where my team is, so it'll be easier if i just give in to the pain. I can give in to the darkness. To death. Besides, who is out there who cares about me? I messed everything up. The team thinks I forgot about them and Matt thinks I'm a killer. I don't think he believed any of the words I said that day. Why would he? He doesn't even know me.

I just want everything to end. There's no point for me being in this world.

My mind is circled from these thoughts and I don't know what is happening around me. My eyes and ears are no longer focused on my surroundings. Just my thoughts. But I have to see. I have to hear. I need to know. Why? I don't even know. I guess, you can call it, the need for survival.

With the edge of my eyes, i see Gabe sitting on a chair, looking at me. Another guy walks in and walks up to me. He raises my head with his left hand, and with his right one, he grabs my hand and lets it go, to see if I respond. The man looks at Gabe, who just nods.

His hands grab mine and he drags me to another room. He lays me on the floor and he leaves me there, locking the door. It's dark. The only light there is, comes through a small window from the ceiling. I just look at it and slowly close my eyes.

***********************

I open my eyes at the sound of a door opening and that light that comes through the ceiling, is covered by Gabe who stands and looks at my half closed eyes.

Gabe: You gave a good fight Alexa. I have to say, I'm impressed. But I don't need you anymore. Your friends have revealed themselves. They're here. And now, I go find them.

He turns to leave, but I urge my hand to grab his leg. He looks at my hand and all he does, is put his foot on it and break it. I try to scream in pain but since I'm dehydrated, I can't, so I just let out a silent scream.

Dom's POV
Me and the team, are all standing around a table thinking of how we can find Alexa. Tej is sitting behind a computer working on the cameras. I walk over there to see how he's doing.

Dom: Tej, talk to me. What d'you got?

Tej: Nothing, for now. But I'm working on it.

I look on the screen, several cameras of people walking by and cars driving through the streets. And then, I see the one person I thought was dead for years. The same blonde hair and blue eyes.

Dom:Mia come here.

Mia walks towards us with a questioning look on her face.

Dom : Tej, on this camera, can you go back a few seconds?

Tej: Of course.

Once I see him...

Dom: OK, freeze the screen. Mia, is he who I think it is?

She looks at the screen and then widens her eyes.

Mia: No it can't be. He... He's dead. Right?

Brian: Hey, what is it?

Dom: I think we just found out who has taken Alexa.

I say, as we all look at the screen with Gabe walking to a car.
