The Ghost

27- The Attack

I was feeling kind of down after I talked to Carmen so I decided to call Chloe at her job so I pulled out my phone.
"Hello, How can I help you?" Chloe's voice rang through the phone and I smile.
"You have a lovely voice." I say with a smile still playing on my lips.
"What did I tell you about calling me at work?" Chloe asked pretending to be annoyed.
"Do it more often because it makes me smile?" I say with an innocent tone.
Chloe just chuckled at my child ness tactics.
"Did you know I'm leaving early today?" Chloe asked in a happy tone.
"Really?" I said suddenly becoming very excited at the news.
"Mhm." Chloe hummed in response. "And I was thinking maybe we could see each other and do certain things."
"What kind of things?" I ask playfully while acting dumb.
"You know I can't say it out loud." Chloe said mumbling under her breath.
"But I don't know what you mean." I say still playing dumb while I giggle.
"Go to hell." Chloe said in a joking tone.
"Send me a message and I'll go for you." I say with another laugh at our friendly banter.
"Okay, I love you." Chloe said and you could practically hear her smile through the phone.
"I love you too." I say smiling equally as big when I said those four words.

Later that day
I decided to get out of the house for a bit but forgot my phone. I didn't really think much of it though. When I was walking to my door I could hear my phone faintly ringing. The ringtone sounded like Titanium so I figured it was Chloe.
When I unlocked my door and opened it I was met with a sight I was hoping that I would see... Beth.
"Beth?" I asked in complete shock not believing what I was seeing.
"Nice house Mitchell." She says with a smirk as I look at her with fear. "Oh, Beca don't make that face. You know what you did. I must confess I liked you, your wonderful record of missions fulfilled and your professional rank was an inspiration to me. It's a shame the punishers have to deal with you. Now you have to pay for your actions."
"Beth Wait!" I say trying to reason with her when I was tackled but a large man.
He rammed me into a table sitting by my couch. Then he turned and locked the door so I couldn't run. He then walked back over hand hit my head on the table again.
"I knew you were a traitor." The punisher said in my ear. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of you girl."
He then threw me over to the kitchen so I landed on the stove. I grabbed the stove covers and hit him in the head.
"Fuck!" He yelled once it made contact with his head.
I quickly ran into the bathroom attempting to hide from the punisher. I close and lock the door from the inside and grab the plunger to defend myself. At this point I was breathing heavily when the punisher kept on knocking on the door. He eventually broke through the door and unlocked it.
I quickly ran over to his arm and hit it with the plunger then ran to the window and tried to open it.
"Shit!" I yelled when the window wasn't budging.
Once I gave up on the window I decided to hide in the bath tub. The attacker eventually gave up on trying to open the door so it broke it open. He approaches the shower with a gun then opened it revealing me cowering.
"Let's have some fun with you." He said in an evil tone.
