Dark night of the soul

Chapter 103

*Sarah's POV*
"Jess, you always keep your phone in your bra, that's why your bra is uncomfortable oh my god I could kiss you right now!" I screech grabbing her face and kissing her head. She put her hand down her shirt and retrieves her phone.
I take the phone. "Fuck" I groan.

"What's the matter?"

"No signal, I'll keep hold of the phone and try and find signal, you find the kids" I say and we quietly walk up the stairs.

I open the door slowly so it doesn't creek and look both ways before i turn left and she turns right.

I walk down the long corridor, this feels like the scene from Matilda when they're hiding from the headmistress.

I hear two men talking. Shit. I quietly walk the opposite way, I need to distract them.

I hide behind a wall that's near the basement door. I hear the door open and the two men close it behind them.
This is my chance.
I hobble over to the door and turn the lock. Two down and god knows how many more to go.

I carry on making my way around the building. I see a plant in a vase and I carry it with me up the stairs.
Once I reach the top of the large staircase I throw it down, attracting the attention of more men. I see them run past the staircase and unlock the basement door. Stupid fucks.

I run down the stairs, wincing at the pain coming from my thigh and for the second time I lock the basement door.

That's four.

I look at the phone. Still no signal. I wobble my way up the stairs again hoping to get better signal the higher I go.
One bar.
I walk all the way to the top and see an office with the door open slightly.

"Yes damnit!" I hear a man shout, banging his hand on the desk which makes me jump. I turn, not looking where I'm going and I bash into a wall. My leg feels like it's on fire. "Ahh" I cry. Shit shit shit. He must've heard me because he went silent almost instantly.

"We will talk about this later" he says and puts the phone down. I quickly take in my surroundings, there must be some sort of weapon.

I quickly take a frame off the wall and stand as close as I can outside the door.

I see a large man walk out and I quickly bash him over the head and he drops to the floor like a sack of spuds. I check his pockets. "Knife, gun, another gun, nice." I say taking all three weapons.

*Jessica's POV*
I hear a loud thud come from upstairs. The next thing I know I can hear feet running up the stairs.

BANG

I hear the sound of a gunshot. Shit.
