It's a cold universe

~ 21 ~

Chris view:

I've been thinking a lot since Milly wrote the message. She is alive and after her dad and i got this we tried to phone her at least dozen times, but no answer.

Later I called Jonny:

JB: Yes man ? Did you found her ?

CM: Not really, but we got a message from her, where she is.

JB: Where?

CM: She wrote In my place, where lines that I couldn't Change. That means she could only be where we recorded the Video and where I wanted to exycuse myselve. Take Guy and Phil with you and come her to the Police Station. we Need you!

JB: Of Course! We'll be there in About 10 minutes!

CM: No hurry, Jay! Bye!

A few hours later:

When my colleagues finally arrived at the Station, we already started with the preparations. Daniel immediately called Milly's mother to tell her that we had found her and that we would fetch her now. I also shared some words with her. She seems worried but also really nice. As I hang up and reach Daniel his phone again, another message from Milly reaches me: 

Chris, please hurry up! I'm captered where you recorded In my place. Billy, a young man, at the age of 25 is also around with me. We need help. Call the police and my dad. I count on you and I love you!

That's from her. That's my girl!

I show it to her dad and his colleagues, because we finally had her situation. 

Than we made something like a group meeting, with a few police officers and our band. Mr. Jenkins spoke loudly and clearly:

DJ: Lady's and gents! This will be a challenge! We must free my daughter. The plan is as follows. Mr. Martin, you'll confront Harry and the others, because we think you are the one he wants. You'll speak slowly and do what he says. We don't know what he's up to, but we can guess. Don't worry you'll be wearing a bulletproof vest. The other band members stay with me. Our team is accompanied by a S.W.A.T. team, that will move out as soon as the situation is under control and Milly is with us. Any questions?

GB: How we keep that away from the news? I mean, it's not like we're celebrities, you know ? 

DJ: Leave it to us, we'll take care of it. Have you understood everything? Than let's go!

Half an hour later:

Everything has been set up and the S.W.A.T- team is also ready on their place.

DJ: There you go, man! Take this! Who knows maybe you need it.

CM: Thanks! - I say and put on the the bulletproof vest from the police under my ,,Happiness¨ shirt -

DJ: Just try to stay calm and don't say anything wrong. They'll try to kill you and Milly, so stay cool. I know your feelings. I wanna punch that man too, but we need to focus on the escape now.

CM: Yeah you're right! I just go and talk to my band mates for a while, okay?

DJ: Of course. I tell you, when we're about to start the thing.

I give him a pat on the back and than I head behind the police car, where the boys are standing.

PH: You sure, you wanna do this? It's a big risk. I honestly don't want to imagine, that you might gonna be killed today.

CM: Phil, it's alright for me. I'll do this for her and for all of us. I won't die, I promise that.

JB: Yeah we know, but please stay carefull, man.

CM: Of course!

WC: C'mon boys!

We stand in a circle and hug us.

WC: You gonna do this for all of us. For her parents, for you and for the band.

GB: Yeah, Chris! Bring our sister back!

Wow this was the first time Guy called her ,,sister¨. I'm proud of him and the other ones are too, because everyone fixes their eyes on our beautiful bass player.

PH: Hands in the middle boys!

After Will placed his left hand below ours, Phil says: We gonna be in the back and support you. You're not alone.
I nodd and than we throw our hands in the sky. Daniel appeared behind the car and waves me to him. Good let's go!
,, Good luck!¨, Jonny says and than I'm away.

DJ: Just go there with hands up and ask if some one's there. The respons could take a while. We just go with you, if you need us. You have no gun and Mr. Martin, please choose your words wisly .

CM: I will, thanks.

I take the steps to the remote park house with hands up.
,,Hello? Is someone here? I've come to pick up Milly Jenkins! Is she here?¨, I shout. - No answer. I wait a few seconds. -
,,Well okay, if no one's here, I can easily go and come to another time if you want, but she....¨ -- I've been cut off, because just in that second, a man around his 20's held a gun on a womans head. The woman is gagged! Milly! And this man, this have to be this Billy, but didn't she wrote that he has been kidnapped too? I don't understand it!

,,Here she is! Milly Jenkins! It's her you want, right?¨, he asks.
,,Yes, right. Well, I'm alone. You see? No police. No other band memebers, just as you wrote! I also have no gun. I just want to pick her up.
,,It's an exchange. We let her free, but you'll come to us, understood?¨, he instroducts.
,,Yeah, totally!¨, I respond.

I avoid keeping eye contact with her, because otherwise I'm gonna kill him for what he did to her.

,,Billy, I see our guest has arrived?¨, an old man's voice breaking the moment.
That must be him!That must be Harry! Her stepfather! Than he also comes in my field of view. Just as I imagined him. An elder man, may be in his late 50's or early 60's, clothed all in black and with a sneaky face expression. Calm down Chris!

I swallow hard and try to stay cool:,, Ok, whatever you want! As I already said, I've no gun and no knife with me. No police and no band mates. I'm alone. Now let her go!¨

,,Come here to me Mr. Martin! I wanna proof this!¨, he said.
Slowly I start to walk to him. Step by step, closer to him. What the hell I'm gonna do?
,,Nice clothes, man! But where is your LoVe-button? Aren't you the one, who forces everyone to wear it or at least to show it?¨, he says demanding.
,,Yes I'm, but this doesn't matter now! Let her go!¨, I beg.

He goes around me and scans me from head to toe. The crying and sobbing of Milly breaks my heart.
,,Finished?¨, I ask after he had gone second times around me.
,,Yes, I'm finished. You know what I don't like, Mr. Martin? -- I stay quiet -- People, who lie to me!¨, he shoutes and punches me with his right hand in my belly.
Of course he hit the bulletproof vest and so my cover's blown. I react as fast as I can and punch him with all anger, fear and giult I've in his face.
A scream escape Milly's mouth and also Billy seems pretty concerned now. I just hear: Access!¨, from behind me and that was the time, when the police officers storms off. I hide and drag Milly down with me. We both hit the ground and my view is blurred a bit. I feel a grab on my upper arm as I move my view up and see Harry again, who also cletches his fists and punches me in the face. Again blurred.

The whirring in my ear is so loud that I can't perceive anything around me anymore. The last thing I've heard was a shot of a gun. Than everything went black!
