Chapter 61

The song is It Will Rain by Bruno Mars!

(Hopes POV)

     A beeping sound woke me up from my nap. I looked around the darkroom and the soft beeping was coming from my arm. So this tracker is an alarm clock also? What other things can it do? I glance at the time on Craig's nightstand, midnight on the dot. Craig's soft snores filled the room still, at least it won't be hard for him to see me leave. I get up from the bed and slide on my hightops. I noticed the lights out in the hallway were still on, someone has to be up still, probably keeping guard to make sure that I don't leave or people don't come in. I open the door and look back at Craig, yup, still sleeping. I sigh as I walk out of the room and down the hall.

     I can hear the T.V. from the common room on but not loud. I peak into the room and see Holly sleeping on Ryan who's watching T.V. tiredly. I smile at the sight and walk towards the entrance of the warehouse.

     "You're not going anywhere, just letting you know," John says behind me. I stop walking and turn around to look at the long white-haired male.

     "Look, if you want to help my gang out, you'll let me go. I'm saving Evan and Brian here." I cross my arms and glare at him. A door opened and closed behind me.

     "Craig told us everything Hope. You're going to have to go through us first before we even think about letting you leave." Del says behind me. I turn my head and see Tyler standing next to Del.

     "Let me save them then. I wasn't hurt when I got here, who's to say I'll get hurt after I leave." I look back and forth between the three of them.

    "We'll save them as a group, go back to bed Hope. Tyler, John, Ryan, and I are keeping watch of this place. They're not going to get you, and you're not leaving, end of discussion." Del says. I take a deep breath and take a step closer to Tyler and Del.

     "Hope, go to bed, now," Tyler says stepping forward. I took him down once, I can do it again, but with two other guys on his side, I'm not so sure. Not to mention all three of them overpower me in the height factor.

     "I'll see you when you rescue all three of us together." Three silenced shots filled the quiet hall and both Tyler and Del fell to the ground, I turn my head and also see John on the floor.

     "They're not dead, just sleeping hun, they won't remember that you even left. Now, let's go back home." Jordan says as he lowers a tranquilizer pistol. I slowly walk up to him as he puts his hand at my lower back.

     "Look at you, not fighting me at all. One step closer to loving me." Jordan says as he starts pushing me to the door. A loud gunshot rings throughout the whole building. Jordan grunts loudly as he pushes me forward and holds onto his now bloody shoulder.

     "Get. Away. From. Her. Now." Craig darkly says still holding up his pistol. He just woke everyone up, no doubt about it.

     "GET HER OUT OF HER! DON'T LET HER GET SHOT!" Jordan yells to his masked guys.

     Three masked guys pull me out of the warehouse, the cool air of the surrounding sea brushes up against my skin. More silent shots followed as the masked guys instantly fell to the ground, blood coming out of the small hole in their forehead.

     "Guess I still have my shot huh?" Autumn says as she clicks the safety of her gun and looks at me. I look at the dead guards in horror.

     "What have you done, YOU'RE KILLING EVAN AND BRIAN!" I turn and scream at her. I knock the gun out of her hands as I grab a tranquilizer from one of the dead guys and point it at her.
