Nothing But Survival: Dead Eyes

Tempting The Angels

Robert had Alex over his shoulder as he carried him and held his weight as he sprinted as fast as he could back to the shed. As he held onto Alex in one arm, he used the other hand to bang on the door while yelling out "Wallis!". When Wallis opened the door and saw that Alex had been badly hurt he yelled out to his mother as she was the only one at the shed who could do anything that all to help Alex. Robert began to move into the shed still holding Alex but this time he had the help from Wallis. Teresa came running out to her son's call saying "What is it? What is it?" in a panicking voice. "Alex is done. He needs help." Robert said. They laid Alex's body on the floor allowing Teresa to examine the wound. "This is going to need an actual practitioner. There's nothing I can do to help him" she said as Wallis punched the wall in frustration. "Wallis!" Teresa shouted. "Your leg will open up again". Wallis calmed down and said to Robert "If we're gonna get these assholes, we need him alive. But I've had an idea. Go get the three of them". 

Robert opened up a door to room which was filled with nothing except darkness. "C'mon, he wants to speak to ya, ya sorry bastards" he said. After this one of the hostages walked out of the darkness. This hostage was Mark Annerly. Once he was out of the room Robert told him to wait on his knees against the wall as he awaited the other hostage to show himself. "C'mon. Ain't got all day. Don't wanna keep him waiting either" he said in impatience. The hostage was still taking his time until Robert grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him into the light. The other hostage was Roy. For a man who appeared to be going to succeed in his revenge, he was in a bad way. His right eye was that badly bruised that he could not open it, his bottom lip was busted and he had a bad gash on his forehead. "I'm gonna cut off your fucking balls" Roy said to Robert. Robert chuckled at his in sarcasm before raising his knee and asserting it in between Roy's thighs. Roy held in the pain from this hit by taking heavy deep breathes until Robert shoved him onto the ground next to Mark saying "Get your ass on the ground and fucking stay there or I'll feed you Mark's fingers." Robert got Harry from his own locked room and held the three of them at gunpoint until they were with Wallis. 

Roy, Mark and Harry stood in a line with their hands tied behind their backs staring at Wallis. "Robert!" He grunted. "Get these fuckers on their knees". Robert nodded and then shouted at the hostages "You heard him assholes! On your knees!" Robert then kicked each of them in the back of their knees so that they would fall down. Once Wallis had what he wanted he said "My friend here, and your friend too Roy has been badly hurt. Lost a fucking ear. I'm guessing one of your friends at that fucking cabin got rid of it for him but that's not my concern. My concern is is that me and Robert here, need him alive. My poor mother don't have what it takes to fix him. So what I need from you three is to know if y'all have a doctor in your group." To this Wallis got no reply from any of them. "Okay are really gonna do this? Okay I get that y'all know that if there is a doctor at the cabin, we're gonna go get him and a few of y'all will die in the process. So there's gonna be enough crying, fucking whining women there with the ones who die when we get the doctor so why make that worse on the men who have to put up with that by one of you guys dying basically for no fucking reason". Wallis then took a pause and still got no answer. "Oh fucks sake" he moaned as he pulled out his pistol and knife and held the knife at Mark's throat and the gun at Roy's head. "Harry I know you." He said. "Sooner or later you're gonna tell me if there is a doctor there and what his name. So if you don't tell me, two unnecessary lives are gonna be lost cause you didn't speak". Wallis's trigger finger was itchy this day. Just as he was about to pull the trigger and kill Roy, Harry said "There is a doctor there. His names Jason. Jason Stone. He's practitioner. And John Lewis' wife, Beth, has some experience.". Wallis then paused again and took a moment to process what Harry had just said. "Thank you Harry. I always knew you were a good man. I always liked you. Thank you for helping me. I am grateful. But I need your help with something else." Wallis said and just after he finished saying this he pulled his pistol away from Roy's head and pointed it at Harry's head and pulled the trigger. "Told you people were gonna die Roy". Wallis said as anger filled Roy's eyes. "Robert, put these two sorry bastards back where you got em and then load him up in Ma's car" Wallis said pointing at Harry.
