Chapter 21

Colby's POV:

6 hours earlier:

I felt Julia's muscles relax and her breathing getting deeper which left me to think she finally was asleep. I covered her bare legs with one of the many blankets laying in the broken shop. I could see bullet marks on the wall and windows, the ceiling was almost smashed down and completely destroyed. Julia and I were sitting against a desk in the back of the room, further away from the window with some light coming through. Her skin looked pale and her long eyelashes formed their own small shadow under her eyes and she looked so tired, wich I expected. I didn't expect her to fight like that and I didn't expect her to kiss me but I didn't mind either of those. I actually liked what she did, besides I can't just ignore what I have been feeling for her since I met her. I guess I thought any romance could wait until this all was over and that it was stupid to even have feelings for someone in these times. But maybe it's not as bad after all and perhaps she would be the one to help me find Sam, cause I have already figured out that she knows Kat. She has to know Kat. I recognized Kiwi but haven't figured out how to ask Julia for some reason. Julia was resting her head on my shoulder and I chose to lay her down for a better sleep while I looked around. I never wanted to leave her, I just couldn't sleep, and I guess time was killing me at that point. I couldn't get it out of my head, everything that had happened just an hour ago. I remembered Adams lifeless body laying between the others and the gun in my hand while more blood was poured out of him. If we didn't shoot, we might not be alive right now, but I still wondered what they wanted with us. And why chose to force her to strip down next to that brothel looking like. Why couldn't they just ignore her slapping one of their guys and drop it. Leave me to my duty and get her tested like the others. So many questions were filling my head as I kept going further away from Julia, which wasn't a good idea. I still had the bandana and black clothes to blend in with the gangs and maybe I could work out some answers to all of these questions and then come back to Julia. I moved along the shadows of the buildings but regretted after a while and hurried back to Julia. My heart was pounding too hard and I noticed the shaking coming back as I thought of Julia not being in my arms anymore, not knowing how she was or if she was asleep. I ran through the broken glass door and recognized the destroyed shop and the blanket laying behind the desk where I knew Julia was sleeping. i sneaked closer to her but then I felt a strong object hitting my left jaw and I lost balance. I felt my body hit the hard, cold floor and small pieces of broken glass but it was hard to get a good view of what was going on. A few flashlights made it easier to see how two men were hovering over sleeping Julia and injecting a liquid into her arm. I tried to yell as loud as I could, but no air was coming out since a guy was throwing punches at me and another was kicking me in the gutter. I could take the pain now, but I couldn't accept that they were taking Julia. I mean, what is so fucking special about her that they have to drug her and beat me up. "Alright boys, I think newbie got a taste of what happens when he doesn't cooperate.". I felt every inch of where they had kicked me and hit me, and I felt sore from the fight. It was hard to breath for a moment and I couldn't get a word out of me, but it didn't matter. The men I didn't recognize pulled a dark bag over my head and lifted me up, making me catch on to their shoulders. "What... what did you do to her?". I hissed out through the pain. "Don't worry about her, just do as we say and nothing will happen to either of you.". I didn't recognize the voice but it was a pain in the as and sounded proud in a way I didn't get. "Either of us? That's kinda late to say about me, don't you think?". I could breath better and talked back referring to the unnecessary punches they threw at me just a few minutes ago. "I'm warning you, Colby. Talk back like that and your girlfriend might end up looking like you.". I quit talking by that and kept on letting them carry me to where ever they wanted. How did they know my name though? Perhaps he was right, I should be listening rather then talk back right now. I felt a deep pain in my chest and sides and figured my ribs were broken but I couldn't make it out yet, cause my head was still trying to figure out what they wanted with me. They kept walking with my arms around their shoulders and almost just dragging my sore body, causing me to step wrong and then scraping them across the concrete. Whoever this was, they were more professional than Adams group and seemed more dangerous. Finally with a surprise, they shoved my into a steel chair and tied my hands and feet to it, making it impossible for me to move. That's when the pain hit harder, probably from the new position I was in. It was quiet for a moment until I heard more people get into the room I was tied up in. They all kept quiet but I could hear their footsteps, and It was quiet enough to hear their different breathings at this point. Then the bag was pulled of my head and a bright light hit me even though it wasn't that bright, but it made the people s faces more clear to make them out. Again, I didn't recognize any of them, but none of them seemed bothered by their action. I just kept focus on the guy who I believed was talking to me and dragging me into this room. I didn't even know which room I was in, where, how or why, so my instant reaction was to just act fine and like nothing could possibly touch me. I knew I wouldn't be able to act tough if I was going to see Julia, I guess getting soft in front of her had their cons. I really wanted her to be asleep and I really wanted her to be fine so that I could handle this and then get us out of here. "So, Colby. Let's do this the easy and quick way, so that we all can go out here without blood on our hands. Oh, and sorry about earlier, my men thought you were gonna pull something on us like you did with Justin and Adam. Just precautions.". I knew it was the guy who was helping dragging me in here and probably the leader of this operation. He stood about four feet away and kept standing there, with disgustingly thrilled smirk on his face and a pointed at me. He had two guns in his belt and every person around him was carrying the same bigger guns, making it look professional. "What do you want?". I looked the tall guy in his darker eyes and analyzed him as he began his wondering around me and telling me it all. His dark hair was cut short and so was his facial hair, and it made him seem younger than he probably was. "Good question, finally. You see, I want you. I want you to listen, do as I say and make sure this all goes as planned. We don't fuck around, Colby. I have five men behind you, seven men in front of you and your little girlfriend has about 5 armed next to her as well.". "Don't you dare touch her.". I snarled after he finished his sentenced and I felt my blood boil by the thought of her getting hurt in any way. She was still alive, and they must have thought she was strong enough to fight five men by the amount of armed they had around her. I knew if she was awake, she would be able to kick their asses but she would also be smart enough to know they would be the ones to have the guns.
