Gang || #Wattys2016

Chapter 19

I walk on the concrete floor slowly. My heels clicking on the floor. I don't even know why I still have them on.  Everything is as it was, the cards scattered on the table, guns left out mid loaded. Everybody gone but everything left. They would have brought their guns, they would have locked the door. I don't understand what is happening, I feel as if this is a test. I don't know if I should go back in the room where I feel more safe then out in the open, or if I should run not knowing where my feet will take me.

I am a woman of curiosity. I run to the door I came in through and opened it. To my surprise it wasn't dark like I thought it was. The bright sun burns my eyes, making me have to adjust for a couple seconds. I run towards the small forest next too the garage, I run dodging branches high and low. If I was going to get caught I wasn't going to make it easy. I don't know which direction the gang's house is but I was just going to run until I found something promising. I had no food, shelter, or water. Thanks to the facility it doesn't take much to fill my stomach though. I could probably find a stream with water, and I'll be fine without shelter as long as it doesn't rain.

I make my way through the forest till I come out the other end. I see a couple fields and a couple more forests. I don't know which to take but forests seem like my safe havens at the moment.

I go left, going right is always so compelling so why not go left. I go through and decide to walk this time. I wouldn't say I'm super lazy but I don't enjoy exercise. I think if their following me they would have gotten me by now. This is all too confusing to me.

I sit at a tree looking around, listening. I need water, there must be some somewhere around here.

I walk towards the sounds of running water and feel my heart race. I cant believe this is happening. I don't even know how my life got to this point. These kinds of things aren't supposed to happen to me. I don't understand what went wrong.

Once I see the small stream I run to it. It looks pretty clean. I mean it's better then nothing and I need energy. I read somewhere that our brains are like 80% water. So for my brain to function to the best of its ability I need to hydrate.

Once I drink a few handfuls I jump across the stream. I must be going the opposite way of the garage because I don't remember a stream. I found a nice tree and take off my heels.  Just as I am about to lay against the tree and fall asleep I feel a sharp pain in my back. Everything gets fuzzy and I feel my arms being grabbed and I get dragged across the dirt. Everything is dark after that.

**Simone's P.O.V.**

We let her go on purpose.  We don't have to worry about her anymore and Derek can't hurt us, he'll be too worried about finding her. I will message him and tell him that his little girlfriend will be set free tomorrow, and where she is let go is his problem. While his people are out looking for her I can get my men to take over his safe house. I heard he has other girls there. I'm sure they wouldn't mind working for me instead, I'm sure Derek has already house broke them.

They won't have another safe house around here so they will be away from my territory. I can't have the risk of him taking over my business.

We lost sight of the girl after a few miles into the woods. She was so scared, it made me laugh. Derek cares about her of all people; weak, scared, vulnerable little girl. He's so stupid to trust such a naïve girl. If he was always this careless he wouldn't be a risk to me. I need to be one step ahead of his. That's why I let her go tonight. That way if he gets ahold of one of my men he ant torture her whereabouts out of them.

My men are disposable, to lose information is to big of a risk. I would rather lose human resources then my power. I was raised to steel and hold power. It's is how I will raise my children also. If I have any in my lifetime that is.

**Skylar**

I wake up and everything is foggy. I am on something cold, it feels hard, like metal. My eyes focus and I am looking directly at bright LED lights. It's so cold.

I lift my hand to my head. I have a terrible ache right in my left temple. It's a throbbing pain. I look around and I am in fact on a metal table. One of those metal tables you see at a morgue.  I'm not dead though, I don't think so anyway. I am covered in a sheet and I don't need to look to know I don't have any clothes on. I wrap the sheet around my, I stand up and look around. The room isn't familiar at all.

I walk to the door and try to open it but it wouldn't budge. I bang on the door.

"Who are you?" I yell almost breaking down.

Why does this keep happening to me!? I thought I was getting away, I thought I was going to get a fresh start!

I keep banging on the door. It's not like I have anything else to do. Right when I'm about to give up a slot at the bottom of the door opens and an envelope shoots in. I jump on the floor and try to look out but all I see is combat boots and the door slam shut again.

I open the envelope and a neat letter is in there with a fancy font.

"Dear Miss Skylar..."

I haven't been active at all lately because I have been juggling a lot right now. I am working and taking alto saxophone and guitar lessons. Not only that but I've been hanging out with friends and reading books.
