Chapter 5
When two becomes three
Night rider scoffs and points her gun back at Sam and smirks
"Didn't anyone tell you not to bring your fists to a gun fight, pretty boy?" She pulled the trigger of the gun back as the hammer rushed down and made a clicking sound within the barrel, Sam returns the smirk as Nigh rider tries to fire the gun again.
"Looking for these?" Sam remarks as he pulls six rounds out of his pocket, She pops out the cylinder to see all six slots were empty.
"So, let's try this again." He rushes over to Night Rider, twisting her arm behind her back, kneeing her hand as the gun dropped into the cold tile floor. His arm went around her neck before she could even react as he pinned her to the wall
"Ohh kinky" she said cockily
Sam rolls his eyes and knees her in the back. A loud moan leaves her lips as tears roll down her eyes.
"I'm sorry please don't kill me I'm just trying to survive like you are! Please I have a little daughter she's only a three!" Her body went limp as more tears ran down her face. Sam sighs and picked her up bridal style "you're coming with me. Where's your daughter?" She shook her head "I'm not telling you!"
He drops her onto the floor and pressed his foot against her chest "where is your daughter?" He repeated
She gasps and tries to form words but is unable to
"Leave my mommy alone!" A high pitched voice said in the background. Sam turns to see a little girl with brownish blonde hair, blue eyes and tan skin. She was holding a gun towards an but obviously having trouble holding it up as her hands were shaking violently.
"No! Sweetie eat back this is mommy's fight!"
Sam stepped off Night Rider and walked towards the little girl, observing the fear in her eyes. He kneels down in front of her but doesn't reach out to her "Hey, I'm sorry you have to see your mother like this. But if you wanna be a big girl, you have to put that gun down and I'll teach you how to defend yourself" he said in a soft, warm tone, the little girl shook her head and held the gun higher, but proving to be more of a challenge for her. He pressed his hands on the top of the gun and pushes to he side softly and slowly "give me the gun, I promise I won't hurt you or your mother" he held out his pinky and smiles softly
"Pinky promise?" She responded
Sam nods and nudges his pinky closer to her. She hands Sam the gun as they seal the deal with a pinky promise, he unloads the gun and cocks it back to shoot the loaded round out of the chamber. He hands her back the gun and walks over to Night Rider, holding out his hand to help her up "Come with me, I can hook y'all up with a ride to Townsville since that's as far as I'm going unless I decide to go to Richardson" She sighs and takes his hand and jumps to her feet, grunting in pain "What's with the sudden change in mind?" She asks him hesitantly
"My girlfriend was pregnant before I got deployed in Afghanistan and when I came back I never got to see her. I just woke up from a coma after a surgery"
The little girl ran up to Night Riders leg and hugged it tightly, hiding behind her
"You said your name is Sam, right? I had a son named Sam" she looked down at the little girl and softly patted her head
"I'm so sor-"
"No it's fine, he was a miscarriage. Little Sapp here came out the victor in a twin battle" she softly chuckles to hide her tears.
Sam walks over to one of the fridges and grabs a sweet tea, tossing it to her "drink up ma'am, it's gonna be a long ride"
