Hailey Upton / Caged birds

Chapter eight

Hailey's pov
He ended that phone call. This will be impossible to choose for the team. They can't choose me over those other girls and they know it. "Next we are going to film a little video" The man said looking me. He walked out of the room and left me there tied. What is he up to. Time passes and he comes back to his office. "Now look at the camera" he said and took a picture of me. "now i'm going to publish these, then we will see what your friend chooses to do" He said. I hope that they choose those girls, i will be okay, for now. Now that i'm only sitting in place the pain is actually tolerable. I have few cuts on my face, something wrong with my knee and i'm still feeling kind of dizzy from the drug that he gave me.

Half an hour had passed when Trudy came up to bullben and told us to turn on the news. We did as she told. Clark had taken a picture from every girl, including Hailey. He had recorded his speech with those pictures. He told that he had gave as a chance to let go seven of the girls or just one that is a cop. I looked at Hailey's picture. I'm relieved that she is still alive, but she looks hurt and scared. Now that i look at the picture, she is not in a cell like other girl, she is tied up into some kind of pole. It didn't take long until reporters and kidnapped girls families started calling us. All of our phones were ringing.  Everyone was asking what would we choose and telling us to choose those seven girls. Clark really knew how to turn people against us. The hour had passed and it was time to make a decicion. Voight gathered us in and gave us a speech of what we would do. I knew it, we choose the seven girls and then only focus on finding Hailey. Voight's phone started ringing. It was Clark. "Let those seven girls go" Voight said. "Good answer, i will text you a location where you can pick them up in half an hour." Clark said hanging up. "Okay now we just wait." Then Voight told Trudy to inform media and parents that those girls are coming home.  Now we had to do anything to find Hailey.      

Hailey's pov:
I'm glad that they chose to save those girls. I'm sure they will figure out a way to arrest this man. Clark walked to me and untied me from that pole. "It's time for us to go" he said and started walking me outside. My hands were still tied and he was basically dragging me after him. "Are you just going to leave them here, where are you taking me?" I tried asking. "They are going to be fine, police will set those birds free." he said and opened the car door. Team is coming here? I need to stall. What can i do, running is not an option and my hand are tied. Only thing i could think of was to try and knock him out. I yanked my hands out of his grip and punched him in the face. With my left leg i kicked him on the ground. He started fighting back. No that he was on the ground i tried to kick him as hard as i could. But then he managed to swipe my legs under me and i fell to the ground on my back. Then he fastly stood up and kneel on my pressing me to the ground with his knee and the he started punching. He punched me to my face, to my chest, to my stomach or so i think. He's punches just got harder and harder. All of my body was aching. I tried to struggle away and with fight back but it was no use. He was on me with all of his weight. "You bitch, i didn't wanna hurt you but you left me with no choice" he said looking at my bruised face. My eyes felt so heavy, but i still tried to stay awake. He lifted me to his arms and carried me to the car. My whole face was full on bruises and cuts. Even breathing hurt. He started driving away. I was laying in the back seat just trying to focus to breathing. I tried to follow our surroundings so i could figure out where we were going but i had no idea where we were. While he was driving, he sent a text message to someone, i think he send it to Voight. At least those girls can now go home and i hope so that soon i can too. I thinked of Jay, he must be blaming himself for all of this. He needs to know that none of this is his fault, but that's who he is, he is always carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. I miss him. I closed my eyes for a while since my eyes felt so heavy that it was hard to keep them open. I layed there listening the car driving, and before i noticed i fell asleep, or passed out i'm not sure.      

       I don't know how much time passed, but i woke up as he was carrying me somewhere. My face was so sore and swollen from the beating that i couldn't open my eyes. I had no idea where he was taking me and what was he going to do to me.      

Jay's pov:
Finally Clack sent us the location, we left immediately. The location was like 30 minutes away and it was in the middle of the woods. We drove there as fast as we could. When we got there we went inside. This building was some sort of old kennel. Those girls were locked up in the cages. I continued my way in the office as the others stayed to let those girls go. There was no sign of Clark or Hailey. They were gone. As i searched the office recognized that pole on the wall that was showing in Hailey's picture. She was here, damn it we are too late. I headed back to the team and helped them to release those girls. In one cage i saw Angela and Julie, i left them out of the caged and asked "Have you seen a cop here, she has a blonde hair and was wearing grey pants and a black shirt" "Yes Hailey, she was here in the cage with us, but that guy seemed to be a lot interested in her than any of us." Angela says. "Hailey was talking back to him and that's when he took him somewhere else, we haven't seen her since that. Is she okay?" Julie added. "Thanks girls, now let's get you home, your parents are so worried about you." i said walking the girls outside. Of course Hailey was talking back, i wish she would've just stayed quiet. As i walked outside i saw that there had been a fight in the yard. There was also a pool of blood. "Sarge, come see this" I called Voight. "There has been a fight, i think that Hailey was trying to escape, but clearly it went wrong." From the pool of blood left only one set of footprints and then   there was only tire tracks leaving the yard. "How do we find her now" Kim asked. "Does Clark have some other place where he would go." Kevin said. "We have checked every possible place that Clark could be" i said. "Okay, guys let's calm down. He is now moving by car, let's check the street cameras if they would show what way he is headed." Voight said. We headed back to the station.
