Deadly Infatuation

29 - Too Lenient

"Yes! Finally!" Jenny squeals in delight. Calum and I whip our heads to her direction. How can she find the time to be happy in a situation like this?

I watch her in confusion as she bends her head down and tries to use her lips to pick something up, before howling in pain. Probably because her nasal area still hurts. "What are you doing?" Calum asks her in surprise. "I think I'm onto something, I don't want to jinx it but..." Jenny grins from ear to ear as she shows us the silver object she has between her lips.

"I think I have a way out of here," Jenny whispers through last part. I can't help but feel giddy with anticipation. "What? How?" I ask her. Jenny starts to lean over one of her tied up hands and starts using her mouth in an attempt cut the rope. "What is that?" Calum asks. Jenny stops abruptly and sighs.

"When that bitch roughed me up, I felt something from her jacket pocket fall into my top, so, I've been trying to get it out of my top this whole time and I saw that it's a miniature razor blade, then I realized that I can actually cut myself free, that's what I'm trying to do," Jenny explains as she continues.

This had better work, I think to myself. "Just tell me if you hear her coming," Jenny says. "Right," I nod my head at her. I watch her try her hardest to cut through the the thick rope, it's working, but due to the size of the razor blade, it's gonna take a while.

I start to grow tired from waiting to see whether or not this works. I glance over to Jenny and I see her already working on the other hand. Oh my god. "It's working," I whisper in excitement. Calum suddenly looks over at us with a look of fear in his eyes. "Jen," He whispers. "Someone's coming!"

I just knew it was too good to be true. Jenny has her right hand free and is trying frantically,  to speed up her pace. I listen closely and hear the footsteps sounding closer and closer. Jenny looks at the door in panic while trying to hurry up.

I'm scared for her. Honestly, I am,  because if Alex catches her in the act,  we're all majorly screwed, yet again if Jenny stops and succumbs to defeat,  Alex will still punish her because its pretty clear that she tried to escape.

Just as the footsteps are right outside the door, Jenny quietly takes off her bondage,  clutching the razor in her hand. Calum and I give her a look of warning,  but it seems that she's adamant on trying to escape, even though the odds are not in her favor.

The door's lock clicks open and Jenny puts her finger to her lips when she looks at us, before tip toeing to the door. My heart beats widely in my chest when the door cracks open and Jenny hides behind it.

Alex sashays into the room while humming to herself, completely oblivious to the fact that someone's behind her. My breath hitches in my throat when Jenny suddenly lunges at Alex. Wasting no time, Jenny catches her captor off guard by landing a punch in her face.

Alex staggers before Jenny jumps onto her and starts kicking and punching her every where. Calum and I are powerless to do nothing except watch,  hoping that Jenny will succeed. They continue to grapple for a few seconds while screaming insults at each other. I watch as Jenny manages to get her hands on the Alex's gun. She stands up and points it at her.

"Stay down or I'll blast your brains open," Jenny says menacingly,  although the barrel is shaking in her hand. I hold my breath. Is this actually happening?
Alex snarls at Jenny in frustration. "Not so tough now, huh? You little bitch," Jenny smirks proudly. Quit stalling and unite us!  I want to yell at her. Alex tries to move but Jenny grips the gun tighter in warning.

"I said, stay down!" She yells. Alex screams in anger,  but decides to stay put. While keeping the gun trained on Alex,  Jenny begins to walk towards us slowly, and starts untying Calum. Before my eye can even catch it, at lightning fast speed,  Alex throws a knife of her own at Jenny who's turned her back from Alex. I feel the words die in my throat when I'm too late to warn her.

The blade sinks into Jenny's leg and she screams in pain as she falls down,  the Glock falling out of her hand. "Jenny!" I say in alarm. Calum desperately tries to get the gun with his feet but fails when Alex grabs it from underneath his chair. Alex laughs in triumph as she points the gun at Jenny,  who is clutching her leg as it spasms with blood.

I watch her helplessly in dread. We were so close. "That was your master plan? Impressive," Alex says sarcastically. Calum watches in despair as Jenny writhes in pain. Alex has the mad gleam back in her eye,  and I fear the worst. "How dare you! You thought you could beat me and escape?" Alex yells.

"Please don't shoot," I beg her. "Shut up!" Alex fires a careless shot above my head and I scream in panic. "You had this all planned, didn't you Bolton? I told you that you're going to die, didn't I? I was considering letting you live for at least until I went to collect the ransom money but now,  now you just made me mad," Alex hisses.

Alex turns her attention to Calum. "And you, you trifling bastard! Since you love your little bitch so much, I'm going to make sure you watch her turn blue, right before your eyes!" Alex cackles coldly. "And then, you'll think twice before cheating on me next time, because if I can't have you,  then no one can," Alex says to him and I watch as Calum glares at her in anger. This is pure crazy talk.

"I'm glad whoever this Andrew is,  screwed you over, because you're an absolute lunatic! No one can stand your bullshit, you deserve everything that made you into this desperate, crazy bitch!" Calum responds and Alex's eyes blaze in anger. Her lips twist at his words.

"I think I've been too lenient," Alex sneers and I fear the worst.
