A day in the life of Beckett Sandoval(Hiatus)

Chapter Five: Train Battle

   Some people say that once time goes on in a trip you soon forget what your on. Well that statement is dead wrong. I knew what I was on and we were about three hours into this miserable trip. "God does your stomach even have anything left to throw up?"Hodge asked. This whole time the poor guy had been holding my hair back for me. I figured that he was probably tired of holding my hair and I felt minute sympathy for him. I groaned as yet another onslaught of dry heaves and some unidentifyable liquid came. In a moment between dry heaves I glanced up from my peutrid trashcan to see that Flint was asleep and snoring across from me and Rhia was nowhere to be found. "Rhia went to find some medicine for you."Hodge said. I groaned again and nodded to the best of my ability.

   The next half hour was much the same until I heard our sliding door open. I looked up momentarily and saw that Rhia was back with a bottle of medicine. "Alright pull pukey up here so I can get this into her."Rhia said. Hodge gently sat me upright and I squeezed my eyes shut in order to try and not puke again. "Open her mouth."Rhia ordered.

"Sure but she's got her jaw clenched."

"Beckett I need you to unclench your jaw."

   If Rhia wanted me to do that she was in tough luck. There was no way that I was going to do that. Hodge put one hand to my mouth and painfully pressed a finger into the muscle of my jaw on either side of my mouth. I felt myself wanting to give, but when Rhia uncorked the bottle of medicine and I got scent of that stench there was just no way. "Open up!"Hodge growled as he worked his fingers even harder into my jaw muscles. I opened for a split second and quickly bit him in the hand as Rhia tried to pour that vile concoction down my gullet. I jerked my head to the side and felt the medicine splash the side of my face and drip onto Hodge's pants. "Beckett!"He snarled and seized me. Once again one of his hands went to my face and I was surprised to find out that he was holding back before. He hit the right spots with the right amount of force and my mouth opened almost immediately.

   The vile stuff went into my mouth and I swear I could hear my tastebuds cry. I hissed and went to spit it out but Hodge clamped a hand over my mouth and Rhia ran one finger down my wind pipe, making me swallow. Once they were sure that it was down they let go of me. I opened my eyes and then jumped away from them and hacked and coughed on the floor. "Oh my god you just poured that shit down my throat! It's, it's burning my soul!" I screeched dramatically while holding my throat. Hodge and Rhia snorted and then Flint decided to wake up. "Hey guys... what's going on?" He yawned. In that very instant Rhia came out of seemingly nowhere and planted her foot into his face. "You idiot!"She screamed. Flint flew off his seat and landed on the floor with a heavy thump. Immediately getting back up he glared at Rhia as he wiped his bloody nose. "I'll kill you!"He roared and leapt for her.

   I sat back with Hodge as he tried to wipe the medicine off his pants, "Great job on getting my lap slathered in this crap."He growled. I laughed nervously and gave him a peace sign. Hodge sighed and then gave up on wiping the sludge off. I leaned on his shoulder and then watched Rhia and Flint duke it out, "Seems that medicine really worked."

   Spence nervously twiddled his thumbs. He was used to being nervous by now, that just came with the job. For him there were all kinds of nervousnesses for him. Love nervousness, new job nervousness and even will these pants fit nervousness. However this nervousness put all those others to shame. It was leader nervousness. Monte was beat up pretty badly and chose Spence to lead an attack on a train that was said to be carrying Beckett. With him was Keigo, Jaz, and of course Villiers. Jaz and Villiers were pretty badly beaten, but as for Keigo and himself not really any injuries. "Hey if we don't move soon then we're gonna miss the train."Keigo whispered. Spence nodded nervously, "Alright, we move...NOW!"

   Spence leapt off the cliff and hoped that the others were following him since he couldn't really look back. He landed on the roof of the train with a heavy thump and winced as he heard a crack. He really hoped that nothing was broken. Three other thumps sounded and alerted him that the others had landed. "Alright. You three know our mission. Collect Beckett and then get the hell out."Spence said with as much authority as he could manage. A chorus of mixed replies came back and then Jaz unsheathed his sword. "You better step back or you may lose finger."He warned and then with no more warning sank the sword all the way down into the train until he hit the hilt. Once he was sure it was in, he made a few quick strokes and the top of the train came loose. Kicking it in, Jaz leapt down. Screams echoed throughout the traincar at the man's sudden appearance. Spence and the others dropped in and Jaz sheathed his sword momentarilly. "Remember we're here for Beckett. Don't kill anyone unless they try and stop you."Spence said. Grunts were the only reply that Spence recieved. Whipping out his knife, Spence began moving behind Jaz through the cars.
