Chapter Seven Nightmares and Hope

3435 Words

Gabe couldn't sleep, his mind was fucked up so bad he wasn't sure what to do anymore. Tomorrow Lilly was going to try to sell him to Javi. Gabe was feeling a flurry of emotions as he lay on the floor of the prisoner tent. He was furious at Lilly's cruelty, he was scared for Clementine and he was worried about Javi.

"Clementine's strong, she's stronger than any of Lilly's assholes. She'll be fine." Gabe thought, trying unsuccessfully to calm himself. "What did Lilly do? Clem might be in danger and I'm stuck as a fucking prisoner! I can't let Lilly use me! I don't know if Javi would surrender for me but I can't take that chance." He thought,sitting up and looking around the tent for something to help him.

He had his weapons take away a long time ago and there was nothing in the tent that he could use as one. He ruffled his handcuffs, they weren't too tight but he couldn't wiggle free. Gabe looked over at Charlie who was lying on the floor next to him. Charlie was sleeping and his breathing was labored, he probably wouldn't be able to help Gabe much in his condition. "What did they put you through?" Gabe thought looking at Charlie's bloody and bruised mess of a face.

Gabe listened closely for people. He could hear the guard outside yawn and talking from Lilly's men who were chatting around a crackling fire. Gabe tried breaking free from his cuffs but succeeded only in hurting his wrists.

"Fuck! This isn't good, I need to get the fuck out of here! If I don't get out tonight, It'll be too late." Gabe thought, trying desperately to think of an escape plan.

"I could try to wake Charlie and we could attempt to take out the guard....no, we're both cuffed and if Lilly's men heard us we'd be done....There is no margin for failure either, if we get caught Lilly would definitely kill Charlie. Fuck! This situation is just....FUCKED!"  Gabe thought, fear truly taking over his mind, "What do I do?! I can't stay here or Lilly will use me! But If I leave and get caught Charlie will get killed! I need a plan! Think, Gabe! Think!"

Gabe thought in hasty desperation for a minute before the guard suddenly spoke, " Oh Fuck! Henry, What the hell did you do that for?! Don't fucking sneak up on me like that, I nearly shot your sorry ass!"

"Sorry." Said a man's voice who Gabe assumed was Henry.

"Lilly ask you to take watch for me?" The guard asked hopefully.

"Yes." Henry said,tersely.

"Well, thanks man. I'll save you a beer." The guard said,happily joining the others around the fire.

Henry stood outside the tent for a minute and Gabe held his breath,wondering if Henry was strong. "His voice didn't seem that deep....does that mean he is smaller? Argh! I don't know! I need to do something!"

Suddenly Henry entered the tent with a fully-automatic gun. He looked at Gabe for a few seconds and Gabe stared back. Henry removed his helmet, revealing a familiar face.

"Gabe. It is me. Gregory. I am here to help." Gregory whispered,before uncuffing Gabe.

Gabe rubbed his wrists and stared at the man, "Gregory? You came to save us?" He whispered in shock. He couldn't believe he was here and when Gabe had met him,he hadn't seemed like the heroic type.

Gregory uncuffed Charlie who was starting to wake. "Yes. We must hurry."

Charlie moaned quietly and opened his eyes. His eyes opened in shock at the sight of Gregory but he wisely kept his mouth shut. Charlie's eyes darted to Gabe,asking him a silent question. Gabe nodded.
