Angels Can Fly

Chapter 28 ~ 3...2...1...

2 former agents dead.

Mum is gone and now I know why!

Dad could be dead.

Seth!

I ran as fast as I could down the flight of stairs that I came up. Seth body lay on the floor of the hallway, barely conscious. I ran down to kneel beside him. A tear streamed down my cheek. I brushed his out of his face. He was bleeding on his arm and his face. His face was bruised and swollen. His eyes were closed as if he was in a deep sleep.

Don't be dead.

You're alive.

Say something!

"S-S-Seth c-come on." I weeped. "You're ok, it's gonna be ok..."

More tears stung my eyes. I grabbed the phone that lay on the table and dialled the FBI - to be specific my dad's office.

"Come on pick up..." I cried. "I can feel it in my bones. You're alive, I know it!"

It rang about 10 times and then it stopped.

"Hello this is Lesley Dawn please leave a-" and I clicked end on the phone.

I threw I phone against the wall and screamed. I let my back sink into the cold tile floor. I cried and cried on the floor for quite awhile. All my life I had counted on my mum or dad. And with none of them here, I felt lost. I don't know who I am anymore. I've lost too many people that I loved and trusted. Now I have no one.

"Will you stop crying and freacking help me here?!"

I felt something move beside me. I sat up and turned to Seth.

His eyes were open and his head was turned slightly towards me.

"Son of a bitch you're alive!" I cheered and chuckled.

He smiled. "Can you help me up?"

"Can you stand?" I asked.

"I don't know."

I grabbed his arm - the one that wasn't bleeding - and helped him into a sitting position. I then slung his arm around my shoulder and stood up, to get him standing.

"Let's just take you to the media room on the third floor." I suggested and we moved towards the lift.

I pressed the down button for the lift.

"So what happened with Piper and Bailey?" Seth asked as we waited for the lift.

"Oh that's right, you don't know." I said wiping the palms of my hands on my yoga pants.

"What don't I know?" Seth asked with a worried expression.

"Ok well long story short, Piper jumped off our roof - no I didn't push her she just jumped - and then Bailey came up, we fought a bit then he tells me my mum was the first chapter, you know to kill me and then he pretty much said my dad is dead - I think Semara did it but I don't know. So yeah." I finished with a breath.

"Oh my god Ash that's horrible!" He wrapped me in a hug.

"Oh and by the way I killed Bailey." I said.

A fresh set of tears started. The lift doors opened and we hobbled in. I pressed the button for the third floor and the lift started going down.

"Is there anything I can do?" Seth asked.

"Well... I would just like to investigate HQ." I admitted. "How hurt are you?"

"Not that hurt, I can probably walk properly now. I just have a few cuts and bruises." He replied. "We can go over to HQ after we have something to eat."

I nodded. "And have a shower and change." I said looking down at my blood stained yoga pants.

The elevator stopped at the third floor and we got out. Where the lift is located there is a lounge room and kitchen combined, just a few rooms down the hallway. We made our way into the combined lounge room and kitchen and sat on the couch. I grabbed the remote of the coffee table between the TV and the couch, and switched on the TV. The news came on.

"Reporting with the latest from the FBI station here is Jack Kendall." The reporter said and then another reporter popped up on the screen.

I looked over at Seth, his eyes were wide. We both turned back to the TV. On the TV was a reporter - I'm guessing Jack Kendall, whoever he is - in front of the FBI station.

"As you can see there is no damage to the FBI station but inside is a whole different story," Jack Kendall started. "You see, inside there are hostages being held up against their will, and we have witnesses who say that this Terrorist is working alone but others say that they saw two terrorists but one thing that we do know is that he or they both have a gun or guns, back to you Rachel."

And then the other reporter began talking about some other topic. I caught Seth's eye and we both just got up and left the room.

"Guns and knives from the store room and then to the station through the training centre?" I suggested.

"Can we actually go through the training centre to the station?" Seth looked surprised.

I nodded. "I haven't done it before, apparently there's a tunnel and I think, if I heard my dad correctly, it will pop us out somewhere in the main office area."

We took a turn down the hallway into the store room. I grabbed my usual weapons - a gun and two knives - but took another gun just incase something went wrong. I started walking out the door and then looked over at Seth.

"Do you really wanna do this?" I asked him. "I can just go by my self if you want."

He shook his head and smiled. "Nah admit it, you need me!"

I laughed. "Getting cocky now are we?"

We both chuckled and walked towards a lift. Seth pressed the down button and the lift doors opened immediately. We hopped in and I clicked the button for the training centre.

"But really," I looked at Seth. "Are you ok with this?"

He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Ready when you are!"

I smiled. The lift stopped at the training centre and we walked out.

"So where is this tunnel?" Seth asked looking around.

"It's meant to be right around," I walked around the boxing ring. "Here!"

It was just a little trap door - concealed pretty well into the wall. We walked over to it, Seth still holding my hand. I opened it and walked through into a dark hallway-like tunnel. Seth closed the door behind him and lights flicked on, lighting our way. We looked at each other and continued to walk forward through the tunnel.

It had already been 5 minutes when we finally reached the door.

Bang!

There was a loud bang. I guessed it was coming from the main office area since that is where we'd be popped out. My hand rested on the door handle.

I looked over at Seth. He nodded. I pecked his lips.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." He whispered back. "Now let's just get this over with!"

I nodded. "3...2...1..." I turned the door handle and opened the door.
