2 Captured.

[This place looks like it's been abandoned for a while, why would she be here?] Erin got out of her car and unlocked the trunk.

She opened the duffle bag and took out 3 knives, in her ankle haulster, the next she hid in the sleeve of her leather jacket and the last one she put in the back of her pocket, a Glock handgun and some extra bullets.

"Max, scan the perimeter." she spoke into her wrist watch and it lit up blue.

Max is an Artificial intelligence program. After the disappearance and betrayal of her lover Erin created him to be able to find her faster.

"- SCANNING PERIMETER- ****"

"- FIVE HEAT SIGNALS FOUND SURROUNDING THE PERIMETER, ONE HOSTAGE - ****"

[Hostage??... After years of searching, you got yourself captured?.. This isn't like you Red.]

"I'm going in if I don't come out in an hour call the cops" Erin ran across the street to the dilapidated mansion.

Slowly opening the door she lightly stepped inside, but it was no use.

[Damnit I shouldn't have worn boots today, next time I'll pack extra clothes. I don't have time for this crap.]

Walking down the hallway listening for anyone nearby. She turned right to find an empty kitchen with granite countertops, Clean white tiled floors and a wooden pantry in the corner of the kitchen. Although the house looked like it was falling apart from the outside, it's relatively new looking on the inside.

[Must've renovated it only inside to not draw attention to the house, it is in the outskirts of town.... Smart..]

Erin left the kitchen and checked all the rooms. The same result as the kitchen,... empty, modern and new. It was strange to not find anyone inside the house. She knew there were bodyguards outside, but there wasn't one at the front entrance.

[This is too easy,... there should be someone trying to kill me for trespassing by now.... oh sh*t I jinxed it!! ]

Erin ducked a punch when she opened the last room. She dug her left foot into the floor for grip, turned her torso and shot out her right foot into the attacker's stomach. He flew and his back landed against a wall.

*oof*

This cause him to double over in pain and hold his abdomen.

"You b*tch! ... that hurt! "

Erin twisted his arm to get him on his knees then she held him by the neck.

"Now now, no need for such foul language it was just a kick."

She internally smiled, remembering she wore her boots that had a sole infused with titanium and a rubber coating. She had them specially made for such situations. But the noise they made didn't help much.

"Oh I'm sorry... I did mean to hurt you I wasn't in control of my legs. *smirk*"

She tightened her grip on his neck and her eyes turned cold. He tried to look away from those piercing eyes but she held his chin with the other hand.

"Please don't hurt me, ... I was offered a lot of money to guard this place and take the chick who would come and save the hostage... please don't do this..."

[Take the chick who would save the hostage?... someone knew I was coming.... So that's why it was so easy to get inside... these idiots planed to trap me... but who would know I was coming, I didn't tell anyone.. except...]

Erin was spanned out of her thoughts when she felt the man under her squirm to get free.

She laughed at the sight. A guy who weights at least 150 pounds and is very tall is squirming like a fish out of water. Haha this is a joke.

She'd had enough, she punched him square on his jaw and knocked him out. She stood up and looked around.

[Where are you Red...]

----------

Behind a large building named 'Shaw Industries' stood a 6'2ft blue eyed man. He was currently speaking to someone on the phone in a very nonchalant manner.

"Yes, when the plan succeeds she will no longer be a problem to us."

******

"Of course I'm sure it'll work, she's just a girl"

******

"Forgive me, I didn't mean... "

******

"Yes, I will"

******

The man ended the call and looked scared. He cleared his throat, regained his composure and walked away from the place he stood. Soon arriving at a door inside the building he was interrupted by a woman.

"Oh hey Sebastian, have you seen Miss Shaw?"

"No, she left... not feeling well" His reply was short and to the point. The friendly manner in which he usually acted around here was gone. After that phone call he felt agitated.

He left without another word to the woman. Entering the room which was his 'dead boss's' office. He glanced around the room and started making calculations in his mind.

[This room needs some colour, I'll get my interior decorator in later, for now I'll enjoy my new chair.]

He sat at Erin's desk imagining his future days and the new CEO of Shaw Industries.
