Chapter 4: One Step Ahead

Chip's POV


Chip pulled hard on the cuffs once he heard Skyler's whimper before her body landed on the ground with a thump. He cursed as he started to kick at the table, pulling harder and harder at the cuffs until he heard someone laugh darkly. He stopped, his chest rising fast as he looked around the dark room, trying to figure out where the laugh was coming from.

"Oh, Ayden, you think you're the Hulk and that you can just break through those cuffs, so funny." The voice said coming from every direction.

"Show yourself!" He yelled, giving yet another hard pull on the cuffs, only making them dig into his skin.

Whoever they were, they just laughed and Chip swallowed. That was when he felt something touch him and he went to spin around but whoever it was grabbed him and slammed him face first onto the table, making his nose started to bleed.

"This is DeadLock, I have the target, bring in the supplies." The voice said before they set the walkie talkie off to the side and pushed his face harder into the medal table.

"On my way." A female voice came through, but Chip couldn't figure out who it was.

That was when something that was locked around his stomach, making him let out a groan and try to move, but whatever the person locked around his stomach tight had something connected to it was being locked around his knees, making them being pinned together. Chip was now having a hard time breathing.

He heard something heavy being dropped and whoever had him pinned to the table pushed harder so he couldn't see. He heard something shuffling before another set of gloved hands grabbed him.

"Unlock the cuffs and move them to the back." The man's voice said and the person with the gloved hands lifted him up a little just for the person to quickly unlock his cuffs, but they gave him no chance to move them as they grabbed his wrist and pulled them tightly behind his back. Chip felt the cuff being woven through his prison jumpsuit before his free wrist was locked tightly into the cuff.

"Hurry and get the muzzle, I don't know how much longer we have." The male voice said as they grabbed his collar and pulled him up, the person's hand reaching out and grabbing Chip's chin, not letting him turn his head away.

Chip just watched as what he thought was the girl pulled out something from a bag and walked over to him, and when Chip saw what was in her hands, he flipped out and started to struggle and yell.

"Someone help! Someone pl-"His call for help was cut off to a strong leather being placed over his face, forcing his jaw shut painfully.

The person quickly made Chip go flat onto the ground, digging his knee into his back as he tightened the straps to the muzzle, making it wrap and lock tightly around his head. Chip let out muffed yells, but it was hopeless, the more he tried, the tighter the straps were pulled, one strap being tightened so much that it made it impossible for him to move his jaw. Moving his eyes, Chip saw Skyler's unconscious body across the ground, her hair covering most of her face as her chest went up and down slowly. He just blinked wishing he could yell for her to wake up, but he knew it was pointless. Chip felt the hands pull him to his knees and he met eyes with the lady's, her blue eyes sparkling in the darkness.

"Ayden Hill." She said, meeting his eyes and Chip just wished he could spit in her face.

"I'm sorry that you have to be restrained like this, but we can't have you hurting any of my people." She said, reaching across and grabbing the leather that ran over his chin and lifting his chin up a little.

"You're one great prize." She said and Chip yanked his chin away from her, only to get someone to slap him on the side of the head.

The lady just laughed as she stood up, making Chip looked up at her. "Put him in the body bag, we need to get moving." She said looking at him one last time before she disappeared.

Chip struggled as four hands grabbed him and dragged him across the room, lying him down on something plastic. Two of the four hands held him down.

"Let's knock him out." The voice said and Chip saw the other person returned holding something.

"See you in a little." He said as he swung the object and once it connected with his head, Chip let out a muffled cry, his vision being filled with stars before he blacked out.



DeadLock's POV



DeadLock watched as the body bag was taken out of the room, he turned his eyes to look at the girl he had knocked out who was still unconscious. Looking at the clock on his wrist, he saw he only had five minutes before the building would be free, but he needed to see what this girl's face looked like first. Kneeling down slowly, he brushed her hair away from her face, tilting his head to the side. A small smile appeared over his mouth when he saw her. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his tiny flashlight and shined it on her, his heart felling warm. She was a beauty.

"DeadLock." A voice said from behind him making him turn his head towards the person.

"You didn't tell me someone else was in here." It was the female, her cold eyes looking down at him like he was a bug.

"No, I didn't." He said returning to look at the girl.

"Who is she?" The women asked as her heels clicked on the ground, getting closer.

"Don't know." He said as he ran his gloved finger over her jaw line.

The women was quiet for a little making DeadLock look at her, she was looking at the girl, something off in her eyes.

"Something wrong?" He asked, removing his hand from her jaw line.

"I'm leaving in 2, if your butt isn't in the van by then, I'm leaving you here with the cops and if you dare tell them a thing, you're dead." She said. She looked at Skyler, one last time before she left the room, leaving DeadLock.

DeadLock just shook his head before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small square. He looked at it before he softly grabbed at her shoe. Pulling it off like a feather, he took out the inside of the shoe and placed the small square where the heel was then put the inside back in, making it look like it was never touched as he put it back on her foot. Standing up, he looked at her one last time, before he turned around and left the room.



Skyler's POV


I jumped when Agent Wolfe slammed his hand on the desk. He was hopping that our attacker would of forgotten to erase the video types, but it seemed DeadLock was one step ahead of us. Every single video type had been erased. Nothing was left, not even from when I talked to Chip before the attack, nothing.

"You got to be joking." Agent Wolfe said to the girl who shook her head slowly.

"I'm sorry, sir, they erased all of this weeks footage. Everything is gone." She said looking at me for a second before returning to look at Agent Wolfe.

"Thank you anyways." He said as he pulled away from the desk, running his hand through his hair.

I quickly caught up with him as he mumbled a few things to himself. "I need to pull every file to see if there is anyone who goes by the name DeadLock." He said looking up. "But that's going to take weeks, and we may not have weeks." Agent Wolfe stopped and ran both his hands through his hair. "I hate it when teens are right." He grumbled as he ran his hand across his face.

"What do you say we do then?" He said looking at me.

I looked at the ground before looking back at him. "We call him out." I said and Agent Wolfe stopped in his tracks, looking at me.

"Wait, say what you said again so I know I heard the right thing." He said looking at me.

I huffed. "I said we call him out. Offer him, maybe something bigger." I said and Agent Wolfe just looked at me.

"How hard did he hit you in the head again?"

I glared at him.

"Then how do we call him out?"

I smiled. "I know two boys who might be able to help, if you give them an offer may be." I said rocking on my heels.

Agent Wolfe just looked at me confused. "How well we call him out, and with whom?" He said.

"You know those two boys you arrested the night you found us?" I said.

"Yes?"

"We use Mason, and Sean's skill's to help us."

"You're really having me worried Oaks, how do you know this well work?" He said.

"I don't. DeadLock want's something, I don't know from whom but the one thing I'm thinking it is is money." I said.

"But you didn't say who's going to call him out."

I looked around before meeting eyes with him, taking an easy breath. I know he was going to say no but it was worth a shot..

"I'm going to call DeadLock out."
