The Rescue
“From the looks of him, he was sleeping. Marcus slowly eased himself into the back of the covered truck and slowly moved toward the young sleeping boy. Careful not to make any noise, he made it to the boy without waking him. With a quick movement, he pinned himself against the boy and clamped his hand over the boy’s mouth.Marcus held him and whispered to him, “Don’t make any noise. I’m getting you out of here.”Rom nodded his head silently and Marcus took his hand off of Rom’s mouth and went ...to work on the chains. It was taking way too long. He needed to hurry. Finally, breathing a sigh of relief, Marcus was able to pick the locks that held him. Helping the boy to his feet, Marcus and Rom turned and stopped suddenly. At the rear of the truck stood one of the captors grinning and holding a pistol pointed in their direction. “What have we here? Seems the boy has picked up a companion. Let me see your hands, friend,” he said laughingly with a sneer on his face. In a smooth, almost effortless fluid motion, Marcus drew his .44 and shot him between the eyes. The man didn’t have time to react. It happened almost in an instant. Rom mouth dropped open in shock. In the next instant Marcus grabbed the boy and shoved him toward the back of the truck and screamed for him to run. They dropped to the ground from the rear of the truck, Marcus pointed the way, and they took off at a dead run. For a bunch of drunks, the captors had extremely quick reflexes. The one Marcus shot must have not been the only one awake. Marcus and Rom hadn’t gone over ten feet from the rear of the last truck when they could already hear the gunfire and could hear the bullets whizzing by their heads. They crouched down further but continued running. Marcus turned as he was running and began firing his big .44 in their general direction. As he had noted before, he was beginning to regret that he hadn’t put on his police vest when he left but of course, now was not the time for regrets. They had to get out of here.MoreLess
