Chapter Five

Its odd how just yesterday I was spending the day with James, watching a movie and not just any movie. We watched Batman Vs Superman, like that is so cool. I did not peg James to be such a nerd, he doesn't look like one either but that was the last thing that's on my mind right now. My soul focus is to find some way to escape this place again for the second time and bring Cara along with me.

A guard shoves me in a holding cell with all the other women that has some what caused trouble. It can be just the stealing of food or perhaps cleaning supplies, they'll lock you up no matter how small the betrayal might be. It's absurd and uncanny of these foul useless human beings to be treating us women in such a disspicible manner. What ever happened to the gender base violence program?

Shenanigans.

Scumbags.

Honestly. There are many more words to describe these low life's that call themselves drug lords and kings to some empire. If I wanted to, I can make myself Queen and show no fear but if I did, I'd put myself in so many dangerous situations. I am already so deeply involved in this which seemed only fair to give myself credit for how far I have become.

I almost died three times, Im a survivor and I'm not going to give up. It's just something I'm not known to do.

Bullet to my head, safety off. In a minute I could be dead but they teased and messed with my head. Not killing me but treated me harshly instead. Frightening me, causing myself to have a panic attack. Air gets caught up in my lungs and my vision turns blurry leaving behind a fog in my sight. Not wanting to get too close to the light, trying to stay awake afraid that if I close my eyes I might not open them again.

They held me with a force of power, restrained with rope and a hand to my throat. What did I do to deserve this? Knowing this might be the end of me. I pray, I pray to the lord to forgive me for my past sins to cleanse me. "You going to kill her!" A voice afar roared to the man restraining me from my freedom. The person was close by, I can hear the footsteps as they took each step my ears, perfectly well functioning. "Let her go!" The person screams aloud, his voice vibrating in my ears. I try to make out the view of who the person might be but my eyes were failing me. "I said let her go!" Another roaring sound from the person very close by now. I hear shuffling around me and punches being thrown as someone shoves me to the side, which ended up to me getting hit against the head by an elbow.

"You just like your father!" the other guys shouts as he throws another punch in the new comers direction. I so wish that the person is James but when I finally gain conscious and my vision was much clearer, who I see shocks me. "Mitch!" What is supposed to sound like a scream came out as a whimper.

"It's okay I got you." Mitch grabs ahold of me and rubs my back in a soothing manner to calm me down as he whispers in my ear. I wanted to push him away, I wanted to smack him in the face but my body says otherwise. I stayed in a sitting position holding him tight, not wanting to let go of him. He did not hesitate to hold me tighter either but the moment we shared was ruined when James walks in on us. "Urh sorry to interrupt. I'll just go." James stutters as he looks between Mitch and I with slight pain in his eyes. I did not get why though. "James no!" I shout, running towards him. He stops walking to turn around and face me. Before he could even say anything I grab him and held him like it is the most natural thing to do.

He did not hug me back he just stood there with his arms limp at his side's. "Uhm can we go before they find us?" Mitch scoffs causing me to move away from James, straightening my clothes and fixing my hair. "I need to find Cara first." I said walking away from them, towards the exit of the holding cell. I did not think or bother to see what or who is around, my mind was souling focusing on Cara. "Alexis wait!" James screams causing me to halt in the middle of the parking lot.

He walks up to me, covering me from something then whispers in my ear. "Look up." When I notice what he is trying to show me, my entire body shuts down. Their screams are in the back of my mind and everything happen so fast. "Take cover." James tugs on my shoulder for me to move but I couldn't. My body is frozen to the spot. "Alexis run!" Mitch screams taking out a gun from behind his back as he points it towards the men shooting our way. "Alexis get your ass over here!" Mitch shouts. I try to tell him that I can't but the words seem to fail from coming out of my mouth.

"Dude get your girl out of the damn way." James roars in anger as he moves away from me and begins shooting at the men. "She's not my girl." Mitch says in frustration while he takes down a man from behind, punching the guy to the ground. "That's not what I saw earlier on." James says still talking about who's girl I might be. "Just get over it. I know you fancy her." Mitch scoffs as he shoots the guy in the head that was running towards me. I do not know how the hell they can be having a argument at this very point when our lives are at a very high risk.
