Silent Sniper

Chapter SEVENTEEN

Ok, do you all remember in chapter five, the song she sings to 10k it was a song she made up and I put a huge disclaimer? Well here it is, and it's me singing it. Not that good, but I hope you like it love ya, into the chapter. Now you can finally see the face behind this book. If it doesn't work here, the go on YouTube and type, "sleeping silently by puppy freckles." It should be there. And BTW you can find me on snapshot at  at PuppyFreckles13. So find me!!!

-----------------

I awake to shooting.

I shoot up and lay 10k down gently on his makeshift car bed and hop out.

I get my sling out and run for high ground, bullets occasionally flying past me.

I grab the first branch when I hear a gun cock. I slowly put my hands up and turn around.

It was a large man with a beard and a moustache. He had this gun with a knife glued to it, pointed towards my head.

"What is your name?" he says with an accent clearly evident in his voice.

"A-Ash." I say quietly.

"Well Ash. You're coming with me." He says.

I gulp. I would have had to change 10k's bandages soon.

"Excuse m-me sir? Where are you taking me?" I ask him shyly.

"To my people. You have something that I want. And I'm gonna make a trade for it." He says.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"The Murphy." He says.

"You think they will trade Murphy, for me?" I say looking at him wide eyed.

"When they find out what I will do to you if they don't, then they will comply."

I swallow harshly and stop in my tracks, but he grabs my arm forcefully and once we are in the road, he forces me to my knees, and puts the knife gun thingy up to my head.

"Give me the Murphy and the girl lives." He says.

I look forward, and see 10k standing there, clutching his side, Doc holding him up.

He looks at me with a hard face, but his eyes held fear. Fear for my life. Taz stood there, she looked furious and her eyes had tears.

Warren had a scowl on her face.

Addy was gritting her teeth.

Murphy wasn't in sight. And neither was Lucy.

"Let her go." Warren grits out.

"I will. as soon as you deliver the Murphy. And if you don't, this flower won't be as pretty." He says digging the knife in more.

I wince.

"Let her go. Please, she has nothing to do with this!" Warren yells out.

"Oh but she has everything to do with this. She is my bargaining chip. And nobody likes to see a little girl broken. Give me the Murphy. And I won't touch a hair on her pretty lotto head."

"You have 24 hours to decide. I will be back tomorrow. You better give him to me. Or she will die." He says to them darkly.

"Dont do it Warren. I'm not worth it!" I yell, but he hits me in the back of the head with the butt of his gun and I pass out.

10k's POV

He took her. I start to walk, my side throbbing, I was grimacing. I then tripped over my own feet and fall down.
