Rescue Me 》 Bellamy Blake {Book One}

Chapter Eighteen: To Enemy or not to Enemy?

Jasper climbed down and stopped when he saw Murphy toss the bag to the side.

Murphy turned to them and his eyes widened. "He stopped breathing. I was trying to help him."

Jasper climbed down beside Jamie and when his feet hit the floor, he shifted so he was standing in front of her as Murphy pulled a gun on them.

"Murphy, just put the gun down." Jasper's voice was strong as he spoke but as Jamie grabbed his hand she could feel him trembling.

Murphy's eyes held a plea as he looked from Jamie back to Jasper. "He tried to kill me."

Jasper moved like he was going to make a run for it and Murphy stepped closer with the gun ready. "Hey, don't move."

Jasper raised his hands in surrender, completely shielding Jamie. "Okay, okay. It's cool."

Murphy ran a hand down his face and he shook his head. "No, it's not. You know what'll happen to me if you tell Bellamy."

"Tell Bellamy what?"

Jamie gasped and dropped her head against Jasper's back as Bellamy's voice echoed over the walkie talkie in Jasper's hand.

"Give me the radio Jasper." Murphy took a menacing step forward with his free hand outstretched.

Before Jamie could stop him Jasper raised the walkie talkie and replied to Bellamy. "Murphy has a gun. He killed Myles."

"Murphy, what the hell are you doing?" Bellamy nearly yelled.

Murphy shook his head and quickly made a bee line to the dropship entrance. He shut the door to the dropship as quickly as possible, grinning when it locked in place. Jamie took the opportunity of him being distracted to lunge for him, successfully knocking the gun from his hand. He turned quickly and nailed her in the face with his fist to gain some sort of leverage on her. Jasper dove towards them but by the time he reached them Murphy regained possession of the gun and had it pressed against Jamie's temple with his arm securely around her. "Move and she dies. Right here. Right now. And don't test me. I really don't want to have to do this."

"Murphy! Murphy! Open the damn door!" Bellamy yelled from outside the dropship as he banged on the door.

Murphy moved Jamie over to one of the support beams in the room and pushed her up against it. "Jasper, grab that rope and come here."

Jasper did as instructed, moving very cautiously as he did, his eyes never leaving the gun aimed at Jamie. "Tie her wrists around the pole and make it tight or I swear I won't hesitate to kill her."

Bellamy's fists continued their assault on the door of the dropship, screaming over and over for Murphy to let him in.
Jasper did as instructed and Murphy nodded in approval. He shoved the gun in the band of his jeans as he tied Jasper up to another support beam, grabbing the radio as he did. He gagged both of them before finally replying to Bellamy's frantic pleas.

"You try to be a hero and they die." Murphy told Bellamy.

Nothing else was said after that and the silence seemed to last forever as Jamie subtly tried to break free of the restraints. Murphy kept a close eye on her however so it made her task much more difficult to accomplish.

"I didn't want to do this." Murphy quietly admitted. "You guys have any idea what it's like to be hung and think, with everything in you, that you're going to die?"

Jamie's eyes shifted up to Murphy's and he winced after seeing the amount of blind fury in her eyes. He knew then that if she broke free, she would kill him.
