He walks into his room and locks the door behind him. There are the trappings of a real rodeo cowboy lying about, silver belt buckle for bull dogging, framed photo of Kyle and Emmett with his horse Jesse James. Turning on a motion sensor that has hidden behind a calendar near the door which looks like a clock radio, he check out the area before he pulls out his small lab top computer. �Fuck!� Brian utter out loud as he finds out that Zach has capture Justin. Overcome with emotion and fatigue, Brian can�t stop his tears. Brian starts to get ready to head out the door and trips himself causing fall to the floor. �Shit.� Brian tries to get up, but his body is exhausted to response to his wishes. He passing out. *** Dragging a handcuffed Justin into the dairy barn, Sapperstein padlocks Justin to a chain that is suspended from a rafter. Ben follows behind them keeping an eye on everything. Justin has ability to move around little bit. He looks over his surrounding. There is a filthy animal stall behind him, and he is situated in corner away from semi tractor trailer. �Don�t go away now you hear,� Sapperstein chuckles as he rushes out of the barn. �You�ll be safest if you don�t try to escape. You might even live through this, but then again you probably won�t. You shot me!� Ben says to Justin. �Fuck you!� �No, you fuck yourself. Everything was working like charm. Then you had to go shooting people. You�re in over your head now, way over. You�re more than bait...� �Room service!� Sapperstein enters with half used roll of toilet paper and a plastic gallon milk container now filled with water. �If nature grab you, I fixed it so you can gets into the there stall. This here�s just water. Irinse out the jug myself. Nothing but the best for my guests, huh Ben.� �For a backwoods cajun, you never cease to amaze and frighten me, Gary.� �I do what I�m paid to do.� Ben turns his attention back to Justin. �This whole area is rigged with explosives and trip wires.� �I don�t understand men like you. Why are you doing this?� �Money,� explains Ben. �Regardless of the cause the real reason is always the money.� *** A hungry and thirsty Ted is greedily eating the sandwich from the lunch that Zach has brought out for him. �That American beef bologna is pretty good eating. Zach, I am in your debt again, my friend.� Zach says nothing in response. He continues to look at the barn. �He is just a scared boy he won�t try everything,� Ted tells Zach chewing on his meal but with a worried tone. �Exactly, were totally fucked!� �So what do we do?� �Wait,� Zach sighs. �When I was a Naval Seal, I felt my life had a purpose. Now I�m just trying to stay alive. Be on your guard, my friend. We�re not all going to walk away from this one.� *** There is an armed guard out side Craig�s hospital room and several men in suits milling about. The guard outside of the room takes out his revolver to adjust its� harness. A nurse appears with a filled IV bag, steps around several of the men, and almost collides with the drawn gun. The nurse is so startled that she drops the IV bag and it bursts upon the floor. �Ah! Lord bless me!� All of the occupants of the corridor go on full alert only to see a nurse knelling over a wet mess on the floor. �That was Mr. Taylor�s IV. Dr. Hampersted prepared it himself.� �Damn, I didn�t mean to startle you.� Another nurse comes to help with several towels. �has Dr. Hampsted gone?� �He left a while back,� explains the other nurse. �But Craig needs a new bag hung.� �We can get a new one from the pharmacy. Look here the prescription�s right on the bag.� Feeling like an idiot, she replies, �Yes, your right of course. I�m not thinking. All these men around makes me nervous.� �I know what you mean . It�s like I died and went to heaven.� The agent with the gun looks somewhat embarrassed and turns away. |
