Undercover lifeguard

Chapter 18

I opened my eyes and saw nothing..."she's awake? Should we put her out again?" "Yes do it quick, we don't know what she heard" I felt someone place a mask back over my mouth but there was nothing more I could do to stop it, apart from my hands being tied to the bed I was too weak to even keep my eyes open.

"Wake up!" Someone slapped my face again as it rolled backwards, "I'm awake, although you wouldn't realise that being as I have blindfold on you dumb twit" I spat the blood out and moved my head straight again, the blindfold got ripped off, the bright light stung my eyes, I then got slapped again, harder "don't be smart, you're in no position to be smart!" Robert grabbed my cheek and pulled me close to him "look at the state of you, beaten up, dirty, bloody" "yeah, no thanks to you" he laughed as he came inches away from my face "still have your wit don't you Becky" "don't call me Becky, you lost the right to call me anything when you beat me up" he stood up and let my face go "you know you deserved that beating" "deserved, DESERVED! That beating...I deserve to get beaten because another man grabbed my leg?" He hit me again sending my head flying sideways again.

A man came in with a note, Robert read it and nodded before coming back to me "I bet you're wondering why I'm here why you're here?" He brought a seat and sat opposite me "well it had crossed my mind" I sniffed as I spat more blood "what I want to know more, is how you got out of prison early...I'm sure it certainly wasn't because of good behaviour" I looked at him, "you mean the prison you put me in? well, let's say I'm a great escape artist..." "And one other thing" I smiled at him "I thought everyone looked good in a uniform...guess I wrong...you wouldn't look good in anything, maybe in a coffin...yeah that's where you'd look great" he stood up in anger and punched me, so hard my chair fell sideways sending me to the floor, knocking my head in the cold concrete, he hauled me back up "still have your temper I see" he walked up and down In front of me "why am I here Robert?" "I've been planning my revenge for years, sat in my cell, then I heard about you're new fling...well I couldn't stand for that, I loved you! and now you're engaged to agent Carter.." "And I loved you, but that love disappeared when you started treating me like a punching bag!" He laughed, it then clicked "it was you...wasn't it?" He looked at me "you shot me!" "If I can't have you, no one can" he sighed as he looked at my body "but, because I'm nice, I'm giving you a choice...a second chance if you will" I gazed up to him "what?" "Him or me Becky...".

Suddenly behind him a door opened "Carter!!!!" He raised his head up slowly, his mouth gagged, he had some sort of collar on "Becca?" "Let him go!" I glared at Robert "I would but here's your choice, me....or him?" "I going to kill you, and then me and him are out of here" I looked at Carter who was trying to figure out what was happening "ha ha yes well, there's the twist, you kill me...that collar he has around his neck is full of explosives, they will explode as soon as my heart stops, so you kill me, you kill your beloved fiancé" for the first time a tear rolled down my cheek "you monster" I looked at him as another tear fell "so I guess, your choice has already been made for you.." "I would NEVER choose you" I spat at him "no I didn't think you would" he pulled a gun and shot Carter "NOOO!!" I jumped about in my chair, trying to get myself loose, but I only knocked it over again, I laid there, looking at Carter who was looking down at his stomach as blood trickled through his white shirt, Robert grabbed the chair again "GET OFF ME!!!" I tried to kick him but it was no use.

Robert left the room, leaving me and Carter "hey, hey it's okay, it's going to be okay" I budged my chair forward until I was facing him, my knees touching his "it...hurts" he gasped in short breaths "I know, I'm so sorry, we will get out of this, I'll kill him and then we can get out of here" he shuck his head at me "I'm not getting out of this alive..." He carried on with the short breaths "we both know I'm not, even if you're in denial...just know how much I love you okay and when you kill him, I want you to do it for the both of us" "shhh no, you, you're going to get out of this, we both are!" I cried as I tried to get my legs loose "look at you, beaten and bloody but still beautiful...Becca...BECCA look at me" I stopped fidgeting and looked up "they've tortured me, taken some of my teeth, beaten me...but I love you" "I....l...l...lov-" "well look at this" we both whipped our heads to the side and saw Robert, holding a small pocket knife. "Would you hold this for me?" Robert smiled at me "how the hell am I supposed to do that!? My hands are tied numbnuts" "oh, of course, here let me help you with that" he stabbed it in my thigh and stood back up, i tensed up as pain seared through my body. "F....fu.....fu" "shhhh shhh" Carter looked at me "right, let me have the knife" Carter looked at me, inch by inch we both shuffled out chairs until his hand was near the knife.

He pulled it out "FU...." I bit my tongue as he sawed at his plastic ties "got it!" He spun back around and faced me after cutting his leg ties "EURGH my stomach..." He held it and looked at his bloodied fingertips, we then heard the door go "Carter!" "I'm going to have to put it back in!" "You're joking me!!?" "Nope!" He stabbed it back in my leg "ahhh shit shit shit" I cried out as Robert came back in "so, have you decided?" I looked at Carter before looking down at the blade "I choose you..." I cried as he smiled "I knew you'd come round" he came behind me, cut all my ties and pulled me up "now..come on" he hauled me up and grabbed the blade from my leg and threw it at Carter, "NO!" I fell to the floor as it stuck in his chest I watched as his head flopped backwards.
