Jason cast Mackenzie another glance before closing the car door behind him. He followed Peyton into the building to find a discarded body. "One down," he muttered. He scanned the room and noted Peyton standing in the hallway, subtly looking through the crack of a door. Peyton spotted Jason and mouthed in there.
~~~
Sophie had been recognized by now, but she still kept up her act for a little longer. The boss guy approached and grabbed her face. She felt the repulsion in the pit of her stomach, but she met his eyes. "You are not fooling anyone, dear." he said, then kneed her in the stomach. She bent over and gasped for breath.
"Damn, fine," she said as she caught her breath. "You want to play, let's play."
"Big talk, care to back it up?" the French guy asked. As she straightened, she caught a fist with her face. The answer was no. Three against one, she couldn't back it up. She grabbed the guy's arm and kneed him in the balls, an action that was met with another fist by the boss. She cringed back.
~~~
"Hey, come out here real quick," Peyton called into the room. The guy that had been guarding Christine came out and was met with a knife to the gut, quickly followed by a slash to the throat.
Jason hurried into the room and began removing Christine's bindings. "Hey, we're here to help," he told her, carefully removing the tape from over her mouth. "I need you to come with me, though. A friend's for you waiting out back in the car."

Mackenzie could hear Sophie’s voice and she whimpered at how she sounded she could tell they were beating her up and it hurt her. She just wanted her Sophie back.
~~~
Christine whimpered as this removed her bindings. She gasped out a breath of air as the tape was removed. ”How can I trust you?” Christine said with a whimper. She was in so much pain.

Jason frowned. "You really can't but right now you don't have a choice," he said. "Unless you want to stay here you have to come with me. Trust me, if I turn out to be bad you have a much better chance of running from me."
~~~
"Where is the money?" one of the guys asked.
Sophie glanced up. "What money?" she asked.
"The two thousand dollars." another guy growled.
"Oh yeah, that money," Sophie smirked. She reached into her pocket and froze as they tensed, then slowly drew out the cash. "You should count that," she coughed. That would distract them for a moment.
~~~
As Jason handled Christine, Peyton headed towards the entrance where Sophie would be. They were distracted, but Sophie made eye contact with him and then reached inside her jacket and pulled out her gun. Peyton smirked and pulled out his own weapon. "Gentlemen," he said. "I think you should step away from the girl."

Christine heard what he said and she nodded her head. "Okay..." Christine whispered slowly standing up. Her legs were unstable. She was hungry, dirty, bruised and needed to shower. "Who is waiting for me?"
~~~
Mackenzie was in the car and she listened to Sophie speak in the phone. She just needed her to come home. She needed her to be okay.

Jason shrugged. "I'm not sure. A brunette girl. About your age." he replied, offering an arm to help support her as he led her out the back exit to the waiting car.
~~~
As Peyton announced his presence, all hell broke loose. Rather than listening to him and stepping away, one guy grabbed her and held a knife to her throat. She stomped on his foot, which did nothing, and glared at Peyton. "Are you fucking kidding me? Again?" she snapped.

Christine heard what Jason said. "Mackenzie," She whispered in relief as she followed him. She couldn't wait to sit down in the car with Mackenzie.
~~~
Mackenzie was watching the exit and she saw the door open. She gasped and got out of the car. She kept the door open and rush towards her friend. "Tini..." She whispered hugging the girl tightly. "Thank god you're okay..."

Jason watched as Mack got out of the car and hugged Christine, then grabbed his phone and ended the call, slipping it in his pocket. "I've got to go back in. Val will find you when she can. Get her to safety." he said.
~~~
Sophie had decided to stop resisting for the time being and she continued glaring at Peyton. He hadn't lowered his gun. What the hell was the idiot thinking? Then he raised it towards her and pulled the trigger. She felt the blade cutting across her neck, and she froze, waiting for the impact of a bullet, but it didn't come. "What the hell, you could have killed me!" she shouted, reaching up to her neck, her hand coming away bloody. The cut didn't feel deep.
"Yeah, yeah. Watch your back," he said. She turned just in time to step out of the way of the Frenchman lunging with his own knife. She picked up her gun and leveled it to him, then pulled the trigger. He collapsed to the ground and she turned to find the last guy, but Peyton had pinned him down and held his gun to his back.
"What are you going to do with him?" she asked softly.
"I'm taking him to the boss. I'm sure he'll have questions." Peyton replied.
Sophie nodded slowly, then leaned against a wall to catch her breath. She felt dizzy.

Mackenzie glanced up at Jason and she nodded her head. "Bring Val home please... I-I need her," Mack said before helping Christine to the car. She got her buckled in and she got into the front seat. Her heart was racing and her hands were shaking. She managed to get them out of there and to the safety of the apartment. "What the hell happened?" Mack asked Christine as they got inside. Mack led her to her bedroom, deciding that she was staying at the apartment that night.
"I-I don't know... I was walking down the street one minute, and the next minute, I was knocked out and woke up bound and tape across my face," Christine said.
"Here... let me look you over or any cuts," Mack said softly as she turned to go into the bathroom that was attached to the room. Mack grabbed some first aid stuff and when she returned, Christine was dressed in a bra and her jeans. Mack let her eyes rake over her ex girlfriend before she moved forward. She frowned. "This cut will sting..."
Christine watched as Mack came over and started to clean her cut. She winced as the disinfectant stung against her skin. She grabbed Mack's hand and swallowed. "Sorry..." She said before removing her hand. A few moments later, Mack had finished and stood up straight.
"I'll check on it again in the-" Mack said but was cut off as Christine's lips were on hers. Mack froze, unsure of what to do. After a few seconds of shock, she pulled away slowly. "Tini..." Mack whispered. "I-I'm sorry... I'm in love with Sophie. I'll always be in love with her and she's going to be the one I marry..."
Christine heard what she said and she cleared her throat. "Right... I was just making sure there were no feelings on my end," Christine said shrugging on a clean shirt that Mack was handing her.
~~~
About an hour later, Mack was laying on the couch waiting for Sophie to get back. She was in some pain and she didn't know if it was just her anxiousness or what. She glanced at her phone and she gnawed on her lip. She needed her girlfriend home.

When Jason reappeared, he dialed a number and called someone to clean up the mess they'd left behind. A few moments later, her mother appeared. "What the hell?! You called her?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah, I figured we shouldn't bring people we don't trust into this." Jason replied.
Sophie had just glared at him and stalked away, but half an hour later her mother found her and helped take care of her open wounds. After, she drove her home. Sophie didn't invite her in.
"Mack, I'm home!" she called, glancing around. She needed to see that both Mack and Christine were safe.

Mack was sitting on the couch and she groaned slightly in pain as she stood up. "Thank god..." Mack said pushing her pain to the side as she moved towards her girlfriend. She let her eyes glance at her and she was looking for any sort of wounds on her.

"Hey," Sophie said. She knew she didn't look great. Her neck was bandaged, but a bruise was were forming under her right eye. "Is Christine here and safe and everything?" she asked.
Post by Mackenzie Camden on Apr 12, 2022 19:40:28 GMT -5
Mackenzie eyed the bandage and she saw the bruise under her eye. "She's fine. She's sleeping in my room," Mack said. "Are you okay?" Mack gave a small wince as she felt a twinge but she put it off as nothing.

Mack heard what Sophie said and she gave a slight hiss as she felt an uncomfortable feeling. Mackenzie pushed the feeling to the back of her mind and she pulled Sophie to her. She let her fingers run through Sophie's hair.
