Rise of The Scorpions

Chapter 12

It's the next morning and I still can't believe what happened last night. I unintentionally made an innocent kid die just because I was paranoid. I feel so guilty, it's eating me up and I can't focus. I keep reliving the night in my head and I can't help but think of what I could have done differently. I should have just let the kid follow me. I shouldn't have sped away. Maybe he would still be alive. No I need to stop thinking like this. I need to focus on the mission at hand. I need to rescue Trevor.

I get take a shower and think over the events of last night again. I think about that boy and about the intel that I got. I think about what I have to do today. I listen to the pitter patter of the water against the ground and the sound of the drain doing its job. I feel the warm water running over my body remembering Trevor. God how I wish he was here with me right now. I miss him. I get out of the shower wrapping myself in the soft towel hanging by the shower. I look at myself in the mirror and see how tired I look. I have had trouble sleeping since Trevor was taken and what happened last night didn't help anything. I grab my clothes that I had picked out for today and I drop the towel and slip the clothes on one by one. I grab my hairbrush and untangle my hair and when I am finished with that I watch myself in the mirror as I brush my teeth.

I'm in my car trying to talk myself into actually doing this. How can I do this? This isn't me. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that I get this done and Trevor gets home safe. After about 10 minutes of trying to talk myself into going into the building I finally enter. I walk up to the window where there is an officer sitting. She has her head down and she looks very into her work.

I clear my throat, "Excuse me."

She looks up and smiles, "Hi! How can I help you today miss..."

"You can just call me Mimi. I'm with the S.S.O.S. I'm here to speak with an inmate that you have. His name is Devin Dark."

"Ok give me just one moment." She talks into her radio then pushes a button. The door buzzes and I'm in. She meets me at the door and shows me to where I'll be talking to him. "Here you are."

I smile, "Thank you."

"Anytime just be careful with this one." I nod and she walks out the door. A few seconds later the other door opens and in walks an officer and with him....Devin Dark.

"So what's a pretty thing like you doing here, talking to me of all people." He asks eyeing me suspiciously.

I lean in closer to him and whisper, "I came here for two things, one I am breaking you out in a few days time, and two I needed to see where all the cameras and security guards are."

He leans in a little and whispers, "No way a girl like you could get me out of here."

I sit back, "That's not what your partner thinks."

He sits back as well and crosses his arms, "What partner? I work alone minus the people I pay. Plus I never asked anyone to get me out of here."

"What do you mean? You aren't the one who sent someone to kidnap my boyfriend and get me to do this?!"

"No I have no clue who is having you do this or what they want with me."

"You have to be lying. There is no way that you didn't know about this."

"Trust me hun, I'm just as much in the dark as you are." He chuckles at his statement, "Get it? Dark?" He laughs harder.

"Haha very funny. I'm completely serious. You really didn't know about this?? At all?"

"That's right sweetie, I knew nothing about this."

"We'll be ready I'll be back in a few days." And with that I leave. How is he not in on this? There is no way he didn't know? What does this person want with him? What are they going to do to him, or worse what are they going to make him do? This is obviously not a stable person. I want, no I NEED to know what they want with him. I can't just release a criminal like that.

********

When I finally get home I get ready for bed. I think over the day. I still can't believe that he didn't know about that. I pick up the remote and turn the TV on. What to watch? I scroll through Netflix until I find a show that looks good and I turn it on. As the show plays I drift into a deep sleep. That night I dream about Trevor.

********

I'm sitting on a blanket in the middle of the park. It's a beautiful day and there is a slight breeze. There is a smell of all of my favorite food and when I look over there is a whole picnic sitting beside me. The picnic has all of my favorite food and sitting next to the picnic is the person who made it, Trevor. He smiles as he grabs a chocolate strawberry. He slowly starts moving the strawberry closer to my mouth. I open my mouth and take a bite. It's delicious. He smiles at the face I make and he continues to feed me the strawberry. After one of my bites he leans in and kisses me. We kiss for what feels like forever when suddenly he is ripped from me. I scream his name as he is pulled away further and further by an unseeable force. I start to cry uncontrollably screaming his name over and over again.
