Fight To Live

(OLD) Chapter 18: Wait (OLD)

Ethan's POV

It was starting to get dark when Cain and I parked the truck where it wouldn't be seen. We got out and headed towards the city, hoping to use the darkness to our advantage.

"We need to be very quiet. Let's go." I said as Cain and I snuck into Hillsboro from the opposite side we had tried before.

He nodded and we walked silently into the city. We saw several people walking around the streets, weapons raised.

What if they're still looking for us?

I ignored the sudden thought and kept walking, I had my pistol raised and ready to fire if I needed to. Cain and I snuck down an alley and entered the last door before the alley came to a dead end.

"There's still two more people to find." A man's voice came from the front of the building.

"Yeah. Have you talked to Damian?" Another voice asked, this one a woman's.

What? That little piece of shit. He betrayed us to these people.

"No. Have you?" The man's voice asked.

"Yeah. He explained who all he brought. I've seen the people we've captured, and one of the people missing is a kid, probably no older than the slave." The woman's voice said.

"You're kidding me." The man said.

I looked over at Cain and gave him a slight nod. The two of us snuck silently towards the voices. We saw the man and woman sitting at a table, both of their backs to us. I bent my head so that I could whisper into his ear without the people hearing.

"We need to get some information out of them. Stay here, I'm going to go hit them really hard on the head." I whispered as I drew my sword.

He nodded and I slowly walked up behind them. I slammed the hilt of my sword into the man's temple and the slumped forward, before the woman could react I did the same to her.

"Ok Cain, you can come over here now." I whispered.

He came and joined me next to the two unconscious people. I started to look around for something I could use to tie them up and I found some fishing line in a cupboard.

That will have to do.

I grabbed the line and went back over to the two people.

"Ok, I'm gonna tie them up, when they wake up we're going to get some answers out of them." I said as I started tying the woman to her chair, first around her wrists, then around her upper body and the back of the chair, lastly her legs and the legs of the chair. I then did the same thing with the man and sat down across from them.

"Maybe we should put something in their mouths so that they can't talk unless we want them to." Cain said.

"Yeah, let's see if there's some old cloth or something." I said as I stood up and started looking around, Cain doing the same.

We found some shirts in a closet and brought them over to the two people. I tied one around the man's head and in his mouth, Cain tied one around the woman's head and in her mouth.
