Hostage

Chapter 7

All three of us stayed frozen. Oh my god, oh my god! I couldn't stop panicking. I looked at Kevin and then at Jackilen. "Hide!", whispers Jackilen. Kevin shook his head at her. "No, run!", he tells me. Well, what should I do? Wait for them to catch me while hiding, or risk my life while running for. Well, I finally made a decision. I was going to do both! I picked up the kid that was lost, and Kevin and Jackilen told me to take him with me. The men started to aim at other innocent people. "Where should I go?", I asked Jackilen. "There's another ally about two blocks away from this station! So go over there , and we'll meet you there!", Jackilen tells me. I nodded my head, and started to cut throught the crowd of people at the station. Now, all of the people were panicking, and running around the place like chickens without heads. There was screaming everywhere. I had to run and go through people that were pushing each other. When I finally got out of the station, I remembered Jackilens directions. "Okay, so two blocks away. In an alley.", I said to myself. I headed overv to the alley and hid there with the little boy. "Okay! We're safe now!", I told him. He nodded his head. "Charlie? Charlie? Where are you?", I heard a lady yelling. The little boy looked up, and started to look to his sides. "Mama?", he yells. "Mama!" The lady came over to the alley and put on a relieved face. "Charlie!", she yells out happily. I smiled and the lady ran up to the boy, the boy jumped, and the gave each other a big bear hug. The lady then looked at me. "What were you doing to Charlie?!", she yelled at me. I stuttered. "Don't worry mama! She helped me get away fwom da bad guys at da twain! And she alsho wanted to help me find you!", says Charlie. The lady looked back at me. "Is that true?", she asked. I nodded my head. "I never intended to hurt Charlie, he got lost at the station and wanted me to help him find you.", I told her. She kept staring at me. "Thank you!", she told me. I nodded again. "Your welcome ma'am!", I told her. She then started to hug her son tightly and started to kiss him on the cheeks and forehead. I smiled. And suddenly remembered that I used to do that with Jason when he wa seven. I shedded a tear. That Scene made me sad, yet happy. "Hey! We found you!", I heard a voice say. "Ah!", yelled the lady and pointed in front of her. I looked at where she was pointing, and "Ah!", was exactly right. The guys with the weapons at the station were right in front of my very own eyes. "Stand back!", I told the lady and the little boy. The lady held her son tight, and I could hear both crying In panic. I pulled out my pistol, and aimed at them. "Leave us alone, and give me back my brother!", I told them. They looked at each other and aimed. "RUN!", I yelled at the lady. All three of us made a run for it, and as soon as we ran, they started to shoot. The alley was like a maze. We had behind a dumpster. We were all breathing hard. "Go!", I told the lady. "But we can't leave you here! And you might get injured! I should call the police!", she says in a panic voice. "No don't!", I yelled at her. She looked at me with a puzzled face. "Why?", she asked me. "I don't want either of you getting hurt, you can just leave me here!", I told her. "We can't do that! And what do they want from you?", she asks. "They took my brother, and they're trying to hunt me down! I don't want you guys to get involved in this! And if you call the police, they'll kill him!", I yelled. I grabbed my hair while pulling on it, and started to cry. The lady looks down at me and rubs my head. "Don't call them! Please!", I told her desperately. She started to cry a bit too. "I won't! I promise!", she tells me. "Run for it! Go before they find us!", I told her. She got up and carried her son. "Goodbye young one. Be careful, and I hope you find your precious brother.", she tells me. "Thank you.", I tell her. "May God be with you and bless your family.", she tells me. She then runs away, but before she completely left the alley, her son waved bye to me, and I waved bye back. "May God be with you too!", I whispered. I quickly got up to my feet, and put myself against the wall. I ran across the alley and saw two guys that were guarding another pathway. The only good thing about this, was that they were off guard. "Hey, buddies!", I yelled at them. "Looking for me?", I asked fearlessly. I then shot both of them before they even put their guns in the air. I blew the top of my gun like in the movies, and kept looking for an exit. I felt like I was in a maze full of spies, that are trying to kill me. I then took a right, and saw four men with guns and smoke bombs. "Oh no!", I said to myself. They started to shoot in my direction, but I quickly fell to the ground, and they all missed me. I got up and ran into a different direction, but they all ran after me. I was starting to feel like I was running out of oxygen, since I've been running so much. I then stopped at a corner near a pizzeria to catch my breath. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned around quickly with my gun aiming. But then, I noticed it was just Kevin and Jackilen. "Hey! Easy there blondie!", says Kevin. Cutie pie, blondie, cutie skirts, twinkle toes, how many more nicknames can he come up for me, and at such a bad timing. I put the gun down and took a deep breath. "We need to get out of here now! A whole gang of men were chasing after us!", says Jackilen. "Oh and you think I've just been resting here or something?! I've been running for more than thirty minutes, JUST to get out of this fucking maze!", I yelled at both of them. "Well we need to go! And what happened to that kid?", says Jackilen. "He found his mom, or his mom found him. But we do need to go, and now!", I told both of them. We exited the alley, and ran to the nearest bus stop. We kept running, and noticed that the gang of men were chasing after all three of us. We ran as fast as we could, and reached the nearest bus stop. We got on the bus, trying to blend in with all the other people. When we noticed we had to pay a dollar for each person, Jackilen just took out a five dollar bill for the heck of it. When we reached the bus driver, and he put out his hand for the money. "Here!", says Jackilen while throwing it in the drivers hands. The driver looked at her, and counted all three of us, and looked at the bill again. Jackilen sighed with such exasperation. "Just take it!", she yells. He looked at her, and gestured that we could go and sit down. We took a seat, and we stayed quiet. I was breathing heavily, and since I was sitting right to Kevin, I could hear that he was breathing heavily too. I started to get sleepy, and dozed off. I only dozed off for about a minute, until I heard the whole bus screaming. I woke up with a sudden jump, and looked around the bus to see what was going on. We were on on the border of Yertburg and Bangiler. I looked out the windows, and the gang of men were STILL following us. I sighed. "Those son of a bitches never learn do they?", I asked myself, while taking out my pistol and reloading it. After I was done with that, I stood up, and put my gun in the air. "Everyone! Listen up!", I yelled. "I have no intention to hurt anyone on this bus! So please stay calm, and let us protect you!", I yelled. When I said us, I wasn't going to be the only one shooting, Jackilen and Kevin are going to help me. I looked at both of them, and they looked at me. I smiled at them and they both said,"let's do this!" We reached the buses windows on the right, which was the side that the men were on, aimed, and started to shoot. They were on motorcycles, so it was a bit difficult for them to actually try and injure us. I kept shooting and shooting. Unfortunately, I realized I could shoot, I just can't shoot the right thing. I shot the motorcycles tire, and that motorcycle slowed down, and the man on it fell off in the middle of the streets, where all the cars were passing by. "Yes!", I said to myself in a happy way. I might not be able to shoot the right thing, but at least I killed him! Jackilen had already shot about two men, and Kevin had shot three men already. There was just one man left, and it was my turn to shoot him. I aimed carefully, and fired at him. BAM! I shot his head. He was bleeding from his eyes, which made me want to vomit. All of the passengers were shouting out a good horray!, at the three of us for saving all of them. The bus came to a sudden stop. "Bangiler! Who's getting off?", yells out the bus driver. People other than us were getting off. We got off, and looked at the beautiful city. I was amazed. I checked the time on my flip phone, 5:37. It's already a bit late, and we still have a lot to go. We still had to walk seven miles to the Bangiler paper factory. My legs were sore, I had a headache, and I was so tired. "Jackilen! Can we rest at a motel today? I'm tired.", I said while tugging on her left shirt sleeve. "Yeah me too! I'm tired too!", says Kevin. Jackilen rolls her eyes at both of us. "Babies! Fine, fine! We'll rest for just one night.", says Jackilen. We walked around the big city to try and find a motel to rest I for the night. We then saw a place called, palace of Rest. They're modo was, sleep like royalty! We checked in a hotel room, and went to go sleep, just for one day. When we got into the hotel room, we all sat down, and rested. But I had a feeling, something bad is going to happen, I can feel it in my gut. And I just closed my eyes, and rested for a while. "Just for now Jason, just for now."
