Everything happened so fast.

One minute they had been walking together as they finally arrived at the border in their search for Nick, and the next they were being restrained by numerous men in military attire.

Alicia had been the first to react, kicking and pushing against the armed men as they tried to secure a hold of her. Aunt Maddie and Travis followed, punching their way out as they tried to find a way to scape. Lina simply watched however, as she had been walking a bit behind from the group earlier and the soldiers hadn't actually seen her, and so she was trying to access the situation better in order to find an opportunity to actually help.

There were around twenty men in total, all at least twice her size and weight, and quite frankly the only advantage she had right now was that they hadn't spotted her yet. However she knew that it was only a matter of time before they did, so she needed to act fast.

'I have no gun, no physical advantage, and I'm outnumbered... what the hell am I supposed to do? I can't just let them take my family away though! ' Lina thought to herself as she followed behind them hiding behind cars, as the men kept on shoving Travis, Alicia, and her Aunt Madison to move forward. 'Travis is a big guy, he can take a few of them along with 'Licia and Aunt Maddie If make a distraction just long enough to give them time to run.'

It was risky plan, but there was nothing else she could do. And so Lina looked around for scraps of metal and rocks from the nearby crashed cars, picked some up, and waited for a few more second before throwing some in different directions towards other cars. The sudden noise from behind them startled the soldiers just as planned caused them to turn around, giving Travis, Alicia, and her Aunt, who had caught on to what she was doing really quickly, just enough time to pry the soldiers off themselves, take some of their guns, and make a run for it.

However it immediately went south as more soldiers showed up and surrounded them again. They then proceeded to push Travis, Alicia, and Madison into the ground because of their struggling, before pointing their guns towards them. Then one of the soldiers, a tall blond man, quickly barked some orders out to the rest of the armed men, before turning towards the cars Lina was hiding behind and beginning to yell out into the air.

" I'm going to count to ten now, and for every second you don't come out of your hiding place you little rat, I'm gonna have my men take a few hits at your people. If I get to ten and you still haven't shown your face, I'll shoot them. Don't test me."

"Don't do it Lin, just get out of he- "ONE!" The blond soldier then yelled interrupting Travis as he punched him in the face so hard, he opened the skin of his right cheek and he was bleeding.

"Lina, JUST RU-"TWO!" One of the other men then kicked Alicia in the gut, leaving her wheezing on the ground.

"Travis! Alici- "THREE!" Another soldier then turned to face her Aunt Maddie and backhanded her.


That was it.

She couldn't simply watch any longer.


"FOU-"Stop it! Just stop! Don't hurt them!!!" Lina yelled interrupting the blond soldier's countdown and running out her hiding spot just as he was about to hit them again.

Everything went silent then, as they had a bit of starring contest. The soldier stared at her dumbfounded, clearly expecting someone who looked more threatening than a smallish, skinny girl to reveal themselves, and Lina simply starred at him terrified.

The blond then began chuckling before turning to one of the soldiers and ordering them to restrain Lina as well. Lina's eyes widened as a very intimidating dark haired man stepped forward and quickly made his way towards her. She tried to take a few steps away and struggle against him but at this the man simply sighed annoyed and quickly reached her, pulling her towards the rest of her group by her long fair hair, and causing her eyes to water a bit as she let out few yelps of pain.

The blond man seemed amused by this, and began to chuckle again.

"He sure is going to get a kick out of you, pipsqueak." He then told Lina between laughs before turning to face the rest of the soldiers once more, and begin to bark out more orders towards them.

"Let's get moving gentlemen. If they try to struggle again, just KNOCK THEM OUT. We've got no more time for delays, we're already late as it is and Troy is going to be pissed. LET'S GO!!!"

They then began to push and kick at all them to get up, starting with Travis, then Alicia and Madison, and finally ending with Lina. The dark haired man from earlier was still in charge of her however, and he still seemed to be annoyed at her earlier attempt of escaping because as soon as they began walking, he grabbed his riffle, put it high above his head, and brought it down towards Lina's face with such force it opened a small gash on her temple.


Needless to say she passed out pretty quickly after that.
