The Mission- Josh Hutcherson Story

Chapter 6

It felt like another mile walk to the huge glass building. The double doors opened automatically as they were seen walking up the pathway. Josh and Annie were quickly greeted by unfamiliar faces. Josh knew them slightly but when one opened her mouth he knew. They worked with his parents.

“Oh Mr Hutcherson what on earth has happened to your leg?” Her British accent was strong as she examined his leg quickly, still standing in the lobby.

“Get him into the surgery room to sort this mess out!” A tall dark skin man said, taking Josh from Annie. “And who is this?” He looked her up and down in concern. Her clothes were all ripped and she had a few bruises and cuts. Her hair was tangled and eyes red.

“T-That’s Annie” Josh called while being pulled away by others, most likely to clean up his leg.

“Come on, love. We’ll get you cleaned up” His voice suddenly went from rushed to calm and soft. He guided her to a bathroom and ran a hot tub of water from her. “There is some fresh clothes that will properly fit you in that cupboard” He nodded towards the white cupboard before walking towards the door. “We’ll get you well feed once your cleaned.” And with that he left. Slowly she lowered herself into the steamy water. At first it was to scolding but after a moment her skin adjusted to the heat. It was paradise after the past few days. She washed her brown hair with coconut shampoo and conditioner. She soaked her cuts and bruises for a while before wrapping herself in a fluffy dressing gown. She wrapped her hair in a matching white towel before finding some clothes from the wardrobe. Everything took her by surprise. She was expecting old, used clothes. She pulled out a yellow Hollister hoodie and Hollister denim shorts. The converse she found was also yellow just like the jacket. The top was black with the rolling stones tongue, one of Annie’s favourite bands. (http://www.polyvore.com/live_for_moments/set?id=43820955) She blow dried her hair so it was dead straight. She pulled it into a side plait.

Meanwhile, Josh had been taken into a surgery room. They didn’t hesitate to operate. He screamed in pain as they removed the bullet and stitched up his leg. His hazel eyes scrunched up trying to hold back his tears. They gave him some pain killer tablets, so strong one did the trick and the pain was soon disappearing. They washed him down and rinsed his dark hair in a sink as the water could dissolve the stitching. He too was given new clothes and pulled on a plain blue top with chinos. When the time came, he made his way to the room for dinner. He was guided by the same woman at the door. He saw Annie waiting at the long mahogany dinner table with a few others and smiled. He took the spare seat next to her to join them.

“Your leg, its like” She began excitedly.

“Fixed, I know” He laughed. “It’s a bit sore but the medication seems to be working”

Two waiters served them and handed there food straight away. It must have been pre cooked.

“Describe everything that happened that night” The dark skin man asked. He was a blunt man, very straight to the point. Unlike the others who had been trying to be as kind as possible because of the situation they are in.

“Whats more is there to say than you already know?” Josh answered his question with another.

“Well your safe now, that’s the main thing” Said the British woman.

“Unless they capture you” He said, taking a rude mouthful of his food.

“Now, Now Joseph we can’t go thinking like that” His name was Joseph.

“Its true. He’d get killed in a matter of minutes”

“And what about me?” Annie asked nervously, regretting it straight after.

“Not you” He began.

“I don’t understand”

“Well, you’re gorgeous! God only knows what they’d do with you. Looks like yours come along, they wont let you go” His voice sounded like it was full of experience.

“Its not going to happen Ann, don’t worry” Josh reassured her.

“And you would know, would you?” Joseph asked full of wit.

“I won’t let it happen that’s why! I would never let anyone touch her okay!” He stood up from his chair in anger, slamming his fists on the table.

“You may not have a choice if you want your parents back!” Joseph argued, copying his actions.

“I'm in love with her! No one will touch her!” With that, he was gone.
