Justin carried the last crate to the truck and slammed it inside, he breathed heavily, his arms feeling weak from having to do this all day with no rest. Being here for this long and not knowing anything on how Ava is or when he may see her gain was eating him alive.
He looked to see Liv struggling with one of her crates as she fell to the ground and let out a gently cry. She was looking down at the floor as he bent down and picked up the crate silently and walking away without saying a word, though making eye contact with her when he turned around again.
Ava was in her cell, her whole body ached, to metallic taste of blood lingered in her mouth as she felt the cut on her lip and the side of her cheek. She wanted to get up, but her legs couldn't move.
"I could get used to this" Davis smiled and bent down next to her, "Why couldn't you have just stayed in the room. I almost died because of you" he lifted her head up by her hair, she tried to look intimidating, but the pain made it harder.
"My nephew was foolish to fall for someone like you, you can help people. But you refuse me... maybe I should try and see if Justin wants to try?" he stood up and Ava growled, lunging at him and tackling him to the floor.
"Feisty little bitch aren't ya?" he laughed and threw her off of him.
"Just don't hurt Justin or Liv or anyone... just kill me already" she muttered and held her side in pain.
"Come with me, you're gonna get to work" he grabbed her by her shirt and dragged her out of the room.
She grunted and bit her lips to hide her pain as she walked with him, she bit so hair she felt her teeth dig into her lip. They walked out of the building and he was speeding up, "Ava!" Justin yelled and ran to her just in time to catch her when Davis threw her on the ground.
"You okay? Look at me, look at me" he grabbed her cheek and forced her eyes to land on his and she nodded gently, and he caressed the cut she had with his thumb.
"Justin, will you please show Ava what she needs to do?" Davis asked and motioned to the storage area and the truck.
"Fuck you..." Justin muttered and looked down at Ava in his arms.
"What was that?" Davis stepped closer and Justin pushed Ava off of him, flying up in the air and tackling Davis to the ground,
"Don't—!" he punched Davis across the face.
"You ever—!" he punched him again.
"Touch her—!" he was feeling the blood on his hands as he punched harder.
"Again!" he finished, and Davis just started laughing then choking on his own blood.
Davis' men pulled Justin off of him, but he just spat at where Davis was laying before going back to Ava, Liv was kneeling beside her and he scooped the brunette up in his arms and turned back to Davis.
"You're gonna die soon" he told him, "I'll make sure to be the one who does it" he turned and walked away with Ava in his arms.
Sam was sitting at one of the benches, reading a book he had found in the apartment he and Luke were staying in, just them being the fact that Justin was MIA.
"You wanna tell me what's going on?" Luke sat down opposite him.
"Just stressed that Ava and Justin are missing" he smiled, Luke saw through the smile and knew that for some reason Sam was in pain.
"How long do you think you can keep lying to me?" Luke raised a brow and folded his arms just as Katie walked over and threw her arm around Luke's shoulder.
"I fixed the radio up for you" she smiled.
Sam slammed the book shut before walking away, he found Ed watching Lucas play with some of the other kids.
"Hey" Sam sat next to him.
"Yo" Ed smiled and slouched deeper on the bench.
"Worried about Ava?" he turned to the ginger.
Ed laughed slightly, "That would be an understatement" he smiled, "More like worried for her captors" he joked making Sam laugh lightly.
"Well, she has Justin. I haven't known them long, but it seems like they would protect each other no matter what" Sam nodded his head at his own statement and watched Lucas play with the kids.
Ed laughed again, "Those two could pass for brother and sister. At least, that's what people keep saying" he pulled out a bottle of water and took a sip, offering Sam some and he took it.
"So what's the deal with you and Radio boy?" Ed asked, not looking away form Lucas.
"He and I have been in it since forever, we went to the same school and when this all started, we were there for each other. Brothers" he smiled at the memory.
"Brothers" Ed repeated, and his lips tugged, wanting to smirk.
"Yes" Sam said slowly nodding his head as he said it, "That's all we are" he sat back in his seat.
"Is it all you want to be?" Ed finally looked his way.
Sam scoffed and stood up, "Believe me if I say yes...?" he sighed and hunched over.
Ed shook his head with a long-awaited smirk and Sam hung his head back in shame, walking away from him and going to find somewhere where he can get information on Ava and Justin's whereabouts.
