What I Never Told You

Chapter 24: I Know What To Do.

When dinner time comes we are all on edge, I glance at Cyril, "Something is wrong."

"I know... She is never late and normally arrives early so she isn't late."

I look around, the wind has started blowing and we made sure to turn all the outside lights on. If anything they will stay on if the power goes out. My parents made sure they would stay on no matter what. Without knowing it I slip back into my thoughts and start to pace around the living room. I haven't touched the pizza that is on a plate for me.

When I hear something my head snaps towards the front door. It gets quiet, so quiet you could hear a pen being dropped outside. Cyril stands up, moving in front of me. I watch the door, out of the corner of my eye I can see him and Madison reaching for their guns. Reyna grabs the remote to turn the volume of the T.V. up so it seems like we aren't waiting for someone to come in.

The sound of a twig snapping sends Cyril and Madison moving towards the door, "Let's see how this goes shall we..."

I go over to Reyna and help her get the computers in her bag. I turn around just as we hear a thud on the porch, Madison and Cyril go outside. I push Reyna behind me so I can help out if they need me. When I don't hear gunshots I slowly put my gun back in its holster. When Madison comes in her face is slightly pale and when I see Cyril I understand why.

In his arms is Nikole, beaten and bloodied. Without wasting a second I go to the medical room and open the door. With Nikole inside, we find out that it is worse than we were thinking. I do what I can before looking over to Cyril. He looks at me for a moment before nodding his head. Walking over to my side he pulls out his phone and calls Liam. We can't do much for her.

"How soon can you get down here?"

I can barely hear the other end, "It will take a while... Maybe not until morning."

"Just put him on video and speaker," I grab another towel to try to slow the bleeding down, "We have to do something."

When Cyril does that he places the phone on the small stand and I can hear Liam taking a breath in, "If you can get her stable I can try to get there sooner than morning but I can't promise anything... The weather isn't the best."

"How are we going to do that?" Madison stares at the phone.

I watch the background behind Liam change as he shouts at someone, "Looks like you will have to do it for me..."

"None of us are trained to do anything," Cyril says, looking at me.

I shake my head, "He can tell one of us what to do and we can do it."

"Are you crazy? None of us would know what we are doing!"

I look at Madison, "He does and that is all that matters at the moment."

"Okay, this is what you are going to do..."

As he explains it I watch Madison and Reyna look like they are completely lost. I get Cyril to take over for me and follow Liam's instructions and I push them aside, "I know what to do... Move."

I get done and glimpse at the phone to find Liam gawking at me, "You actually listen?"

"Yeah yeah yeah, big shock. Now's not the time for that. Now what?"

With Cyril's help, I manage to get everything done and look back at Liam, "I should be there in a few... Just keep an eye on her to make sure nothing goes wrong."

When he hangs up I get the gloves off and throw them in the trash. I stretch a little and look over to Cyril. He sits down in the seat and waves his hand at me. I shake my head and sit down so my back is against the wall. Looks like we are both going to stay in here and do the same thing.
