Part 2: Erica's POV
I heard Antonio shout "Boss, this one is still awake!" and then a bash. I instantly tensed up knowing that he just hit Ben knocking him cold for at least another 30 minutes. Or at least I think it was. I started my mental timer the moment we got into the car and when we got "Knocked out". I didn't get knocked out because of the birthday present Ben gave me. A hardened wig.
Now, I know that sounds incredibly weird but it has been proven useful. I started thinking about all the time's Ben has helped me when I heard a screech. This, however, was not a human screech but a door screech. I felt a blast of hot air counter-act the cool air of the night, when we stepped in to what I'm referring to as the, "Ice Queen's Downfall". I knew that the chances of that were pretty high considering whoever caught us managed to beat me in a fight. Now I know that sounds really full of myself but I think I can say that when I beat my crush in a 1v1, while blindfolded, while handcuffed.
I was thinking about possible ways to escape this, when I heard a seagull. I was confused for a few seconds but then I realized that we were on the shore of the ocean. This theory got confirmed when I heard a ship horn and whatever we were on, start moving.
My watch buzzed and I panicked hoping that they didn't hear that. They didn't, in fact I didn't feel anybody holding me anymore and didn't hear any footsteps. I glanced up to see there was not a single soul around and I quickly got up to examine what was happening. That's when I saw Ben.
Ben was sprawled out 2 seats away from me, almost not breathing. I started tearing up seeing him like that and quickly turned away in case he woke up. I heard voices coming from outside, so I quickly bundled up onto the seats in the exact way I was before.
Mr. Clay shouted, "ANTONIO, where are the kids?"
"In the coffee room" Antonio said calmly.
A door burst open as loud thumps crowded the room.
"Hmmph" Clay grunted, "Take them to their friends.. I would like them to say hi"
My mind instantly shook. Our friends? Who does he mean?
My question got answered the moment we entered a ice cold room.
Clay bellowed, "ANTONIO, WHERE ARE THE KIDS, MIKE AND ZOE?"
I heard Antonio gulp behind me, "I- I don't know boss"
I then heard a devilish scream come from above me and I instantly leaped up and knocked out Clay. Zoe popped out behind Antonio, while Mike got the 2 guards. We were back in business.
"Nice one Zoe!" Mike said as she leaned in and kissed him.
"You too Honey bunch" She said soothingly.
I gave them both an icy glare signalling to stop with that and get us the hell out of here, when I heard a click come from behind us.
Well apperantally that click was a machine gun getting loaded and before any of us could realize it, it started shooting. I instantly ducked behind cover and checked to see if anyone was hurt. Mike and Zoe were both behind their own cover waiting for my command.
I sign signaled to them to take the entrance to their far left and I would take the right. "Meet at the beach" was the last ounce of communication before we took off. I quickly wrapped back around because I forgot about Ben for a second.
Once I picked him up, I paused and admired how amazing he was and how badly I wanted him to like me back. I was snapped back to reality when the mini-gun started shooting in my direction like a rabid dog sniffing me out.
I quickly popped through the vent that they had busted open to ambush our enemy and started to navigate my way to the beach. I glanced down at my watch to check my GPS and try to find the quickest way out.
I was confused for a few seconds, then I noticed something. There was no land near us and it said the nearest beach was 15 miles away. My heart sunk as I realized that when we got loaded onto the ship, we were already on the ship.
This was a aircraft carrier and it had about 2 miles of road before it got to the main panel. To me it seemed as if we had been going 30 minutes from the Ice Cream Parlor to the ship but we were on the ship all along.
I cursed and blamed myself for not opening my eye's once to check where we were. At that moment I got a text from Zoe saying, in all caps,
"WE ARE OUT ON THE FRICKING OCEAN!!!!"
I wrote back,
"Yes, I know, I just checked my GPS and realized that. New plan meet on the roof of the control panel. If you are incapable of getting there, then wait at the end of the vents."
And with that, we were off.
