4: Forever, Miss Clumsy (John Pearce/Justice Crew Fanfic)

Chapter 15

* John’s POV *

Excitedly heading out of my house to have a date with my fiance, I drove so calmly, not wanting to be in an accident ever again. It was still too early, and I told Bailey I’d pick her up in an hour, and from my house to theirs, it only takes about fifteen minutes so I have more time to spare.

Taking a side trip to a flower shop, I bought a bouquet of flowers for my girl, as well as dropping by the mall to buy her favourite chocolates. She has a sweet tooth and I think she’d prefer the chocolate more than the flowers, but bought it anyway.

While I was heading back to the car, stuffing the passenger seat with the flowers and chocolates, I heard a girl calling me. But as I turned around, few masked men surrounded and greeted me with the unpleasant ‘hello’.

“John Pearce?” One asked, like he was confirming if they got the right person, even if I didn’t react when they have asked me.

A minute later, two guys nodded their heads as the other three or four guys captured me, shoving me into a van and driving off. My hands were both tied up as they placed a cloth on my eyes, blinding my vision, as well as on my mouth, avoiding my screams.

I could still hear them though. One of the guys called someone and told them that they were done with their job, and was already on their way to the site. The other guys laughing, already imagining what was going to happen tonight.

“This will be some show. I heard they got the meanest dog out there to kill this one.” One guy uttered as everyone laughed. Of course, even though my eyes were closed, I knew they were talking about me.

Couple of minutes has passed, possibly twenty minutes later, the vehicle stopped completely and next thing I knew, I was being dragged out of it. They didn’t even say if they were bringing me up the stairs, but then they weren’t letting me properly walk, dragging me with all their might.

When I heard a door opened, they shoved me inside as I felt another set of arms taking me in. That dude took me further the room. Holding up my hands above my head, they had attached it to something above me as I felt like my feet was sort of dangling on the floor. I can reach it, but not enough to stay on the ground without swinging away.

The door closed or opened once again, though now more footsteps were evident as well as whispers going around.

“Who are you? What do you want from me?” I asked as one guy told me to shut up or I’ll be in more trouble.

 Xander, help me please. Where are you? I thought, but he didn’t make his presence known, unlike the other times when I needed him and he would appear somehow.

“Take off his blindfold.” A girl uttered and by the sound of it, it was somewhat familiar. Hearing the girl’s order, one of the guys came towards me and took off my blindfold and the mouth cloth.

Blinking continuously, I tried to get the blurred vision away because I wanted to see who owns the voice that just spoke up. When I could see properly, my eyes wandered around the room as my heart pounded – there, on the left corner of the room, was Serenity Hughes.

“Serenity, what’s going on?” I asked, meekly.

Moving towards me, a wicked smile on her face became evident. “Aww, does John need my help rescuing him out of this place?” She cooed, running her fingers on my face, but I faced the other side – and there, on the right corner of the room, was Slade Conners.

“Slade?” I uttered, though, it sounded more like a question. “What’s going on? Is this some joke? Because you two are freaking me out!”

“I don’t know, Serenity. Is this some joke?” Slade teased as Serenity laughed.
