Rescued

Chapter 10

Harry

I was honestly kinda scared for our lives. I had no idea what John was capable of and I'm not sure I wanted to find out either. He had Louis taken in a back room and it scared me, but it also made me very angry, if he hurt Louis I don't know what I'd do. If he hurt any of my family......

Next he took Niall and Jake, "Charlie! Take these boys to the airport. They're to be sent to Michigan to the military academy." My heart stopped, military academy? Niall can't go to a military academy! "How long are you sending them there for?" Liam asks incredulously. John laughs "as long as it takes to get those boys to toughen up. Don't worry you'll see them on major holidays" that's it? He can't just send them away like that!

"Hank take that one there and put him in the garden or kitchen, wherever he's needed most" John says pointing at Zayn. He's splitting us all up, what's he gonna do? Work us to death? Hank roughly picks Zayn up from the floor and drags him out, "where's Louis?" I ask fidgeting with the ties on my wrist trying to get them loose, if I could just keep him distracted for a little bit longer. "Louis is somewhere you won't see him for a very long time. All of this happened because of that boy and he's not gonna get off that easily" he spat with pure anger in his face.

"Louis didn't do anything! I'm the one who took Alex from you house! I'm the one who saved her from your drunkenness!" I yell. He can't possibly believe this is all Louis' fault, I know for a FACT that he remembers me taking Alex that day with Niall. This has got to be something else. John smirks "that may be true. But he's the one my daughter got attached to, he's the one who put all those crazy ideas of true love and happiness in her head!"

I shake my head "your insane! She did that herself! She knew very well how to love and it's your fault that she couldn't for the longest time!" Liam was starring at me with wide eyes now, I was livid, he was going to hurt Louis for no reason. I had a gut feeling that whatever he was going to do to Louis might kill him. He can't die, not yet, we still have to save Alex. He needs to propose to her so they can get married and be a family.

John just smiles amusingly at my weak attempts. "Sam take these boys down to the pit, they'll make perfect additions don't you think?" He stared at us with a strange look in his eyes that made me uncomfortable, "Have Sal run a physical to make sure they're in the right shape for it. Then get started" with that he walked away.

Liam and I get picked up and dragged to the other side of the room and then down a flight of stairs "where are you taking us?" I ask struggling against the hold of the massive guy behind me he just laughs "you my friend, are going to go through a lot of hell. I can tell you that" he says continuing to laugh. Liam looks at me with a slightly horrified look, just what exactly do they plan on doing to us down here?

Liam

I've never been so scared in my life, we exit through a heavy metal door into a massive open area. There are boxing rings, a wall lined with punching bags, another with a shooting range. There's just stuff everywhere. A line of treadmills, just so much equipment everywhere. Very dimly lit though, there are just simple rows of lights above on the ceilings.

The two men drag us over to a corner of the room where the wall sticks out creating a large room, it's what looks like an infirmary. There are hospital beds and all kinds of stuff, must be for exercising accidents. Or fighting ones.

A women steps out from a small room in the corner and smiles at us "how are we doing today Sam?" She asks the guy standing behind Harry, "I'm doing well Sal, boss says these two need a physical before they start" she nods and points to the row of beds. "Lay down boys, this won't take long" she walks back into her office and returns a moment later with a couple clip boards. "Sam, if you and Nick want to wait out there that would be great." She gestures towards the door and sees them out.

As soon as they're out she closes the door behind her and closes the blinds, well, that makes me comfortable..... She walks back over to us "okay, this is just like going to the doctors for a checkup. Just a bit more thorough" she pulls a stethoscope from around her neck and checks our lungs. " well you definitely sound healthy, what are your daily diets? Do you get any exercise?" she questions. This lady doesn't seem bad, Harry doesn't budge though.

I nod "yes plenty, and just normal food" I don't know what they'd do to us if we didn't cooperate so I'm gonna try my best. She then had us stand up and remove out shirts, "I'm sorry but what EXACTLY are you doing?" I ask. I don't remember this being part of a doctoral checkup. She smiles "well, I have to check the structural integrity of your muscles. Need to make sure none of them are damaged or out of place." That's a new one. " we're also going to do a scoliosis analysis make sure your spine is where it's supposed to be"

Harry just stands still and she pinches different parts of his arms and shoulders "can't have you boys going out there and fighting with internal structural problems" she smiles to herself as she writes on one of the sheets of paper. "Okay Harry, can you put your arm out please?" He sticks his arm straight out and she smiles " thank you. Now touch each of your fingers with your thumb please" she watches intently as he does the task.

Sal has him do a bunch of other neurological tests and then had him lay face down on the bed and checks his spine. Doctors are so fascinating, I know I'm kinda fratranizing with the enemy but I can't help it. I mean this is literally the sweetest doctor I've ever met, and she really seems to care about the people here.

When it's my turn she has me do all the same things, then she sits us down and asks us about our diets. If we're allergic to anything. Had any problems with medications in the past. Then she turned to Harry with a sad look "tell me when this started?" She turned his arms over and looked at all the scars lining them. To be honest I'd forgotten about that. He'd been doing so much better, and I knew he was really trying lately to find alternatives.

He was quiet for a moment but answered when Sal had to ask again, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just what I'm supposed to do" Harry just nods and puts his arms back down, Sal walks back to her office with the clip boards and returns a few moments later with a camera "okay I need to get a picture of you for your security badges so hold still okay?" Harry nods and she quickly snaps a picture of each of us.

After that she returns to her office "Haz? You okay?" I ask pulling my shirt back over my head. He just stands there and shakes his head " I can only imagine what he's doing to Louis, I just want him to be okay Liam. I'm scared" I nod "I know, we'll figure this out I promise."

When Sal comes back she has two badges with her "don't loose these, I can make you another one if you do but it's just super tedious" I nod and slip the lanyard over my head. "Thank you, but what was all of this for? What was the point?" They never really told us. Sal smiled "Well I figure you'll be new additions to the personal guard, your definitely built to do so. You boys are in the best shape I've seen anyone in when they first come to see me" she says calmly.

"I have a feeling I'll be seeing a lot more of you two, especially over the next few weeks. The first couple weeks are always the roughest" she walks over and opens the door "we'll be seeing you soon, be careful".
