Mack quickly spoke with Detective Thompson. "Brent may have Madison at a historic battle ground site!"
"How did you come across this information? What is the name of the battle ground?" Thompson was hurriedly writing down the information.
"I received a call from the station and was informed that after Brent found that the club was a trap he contacted the dispatcher at the station and left a message for me." Mack became angrier the more he thought about it! "The name of the battle ground is Marble-Stone Battle Ground." He made sure to not mention that Sierra called because she was still in danger but he relayed the message from dispatch. The new information didn't sit well with Mack, that area was vast and his daughter could be ANYWHERE!
"I will send a couple of units over to the battle ground, Detective Stone I can't stress enought how important it is for you to stay at home! I promise that I will call you later to
DAMN! Brent had been searching for his hostage for a little over half an hour now and she was nowhere to be found! His shoulder coursed with pain with every step he took. Normally he could endure a lot of pain but then again this had been the first time that he has been stabbed! He still couldn't believe that he had allowed someone to stab him! He was wandering further into the brush looking for Madison, when a thought occured to him. Maybe she was the one who stabbed him. He pondered that though for a brief moment. Nah, she couldn't have! There was no possible way that she possessed enough strengh, especially not now. Not with all the drugs pumping through her system! She should actually still be unconscious, it was bafling that she was even missing. Brent walked a little further into the forest when she smelled something familiar. Something he hasn't smelled in a couple of days! Si
Sierra loved the adrenaline rush of pursuing a suspect but Xavier wouldn't take no for an answer, so she had to sit near the top of an old oak tree to stay our of harm's way. "This sucks." She sourly informed a couple of squirrels, playing to tag with each other, across from her on another branch.She was jsut getting more annoyed when she heard a snapping sound. She quietly peered down below and saw Brent walk by the tree, fast then suddenly stop. She looked in the direction with which Brent was facing. What she saw was majestic yet terrifying. Something was attackign him from the shadows. She couldn't see what it was but she recognized it's voice. XAVIER! She realized, in that moment, that she had actually never seen him shift before. After having see him as a human and now as a beast, she preferred him in human form. It was easier on the eyes, and a lot less terrifying!She couldn't quite hea
Mack was just regaining consciousness when his phone alerted him of an incoming message. He had a throbbing headache and he had to take a couple of minutes to clear the fog from his head. By the time he recieved the message, he was fully awake and in pain. The message was from Sierra letting him know that Madison was safe and sound, in Xavier's vehicle and the combination to the doors was 5-6-7-3-8-2. Mack finally was able to let out a breath in relief!He quickly called Thompson, but for some reason he wasn't answering his phone, so Mack left him a voicemail letting him know what was happening. His next call was to the Chief to inform him of his location and where he would be headed. He knew that THAT would get his ass chewed for disobeying a direct order to stay out of the investigation but he didn't care! When he tried to start the car there was no power. He popped the hood and found the battery was missing! "DAMN I
Brent hit the ground with such a force that made him see stars. The last thing he knew wat that his hostage had weapons aimed at him, then two big strong arms wrapped around him then pulled him through the car window. Once he got his barings he got back on his feet and steeled himself against another attack. "WHAT the hall are you and what have I done to piss you off so much?!" He cocked his head to the side before asking. "Did I kill your sister...mother...wife...or was it your girlfriend?" Brent neede to get out of this situation. This is the second time he's been in this kind of predicament in the last two hours! They just kept circling each other. This guy is absolutely relentless! Brent thought to himself."You murdered and tortured many people, but what really pissed me off was when you tried to kill someone that I deeply care about, as long as I am on this earth you will NEVER have Sierra or any part
It only took Mack roughly twenty minutes to drive to the location that Sierra had given him. He parked far enough away that the car couldn't be seen, just in case Brent was still loose. As he neared the Black Altima he readied his weapon. He saw Madison asleep on the back seat as he peered through the windows. Once he made absolutely sure that it was safe he punched in the combination and was relieved to find that Madison was unharmed. He wanted to wake he rup and move her to his car, but briefly hesitated. He brushed a stray strand of hair away from her tear streaked face. "Madison...honey...are you awake?"When she looked upat him he could see all the tears that she hald back just over flow. She hurried into his welcoming arms and he just held her as she sobbed. "Daddy please don't make me go to school tomorrow! I want to stay home wiht you and mommy...where it's safe." She sounded so weak and fragile.
Dwight was speeding down the highway, he couldn't kill Mack, not yet anyway. It would alert Sierra and Xavier sooner than he planned. He still couldn't find the amulet, which really worried him. He could see anybody breaking in because he woudl have known about it so it must have been someone that he let in! The only person that he could think of was Xavier. DAMN! He needs to leave town and very soon. Dwight knew that they would trace his fingerprint on Sierra's phone, if they haven't already. Dwight might be able to dodge the Tribe if he changes his name, appearance and where he lives! Siberia might be a good place to go!He was in the middle of making a list of things that he would need when the screen on hsi cell phone flashed, indicating an incoming call. He feared that Xavier and Sierra must have figured it out earlier than he expected. Dwight thought about lettign it go to voicemail then quickly
Mack, Sierra and Xavier were talking to the Chief after Brent Cummings was taken into custody. "Mack, if you want to take couple more days off for Madison I will understand." He looked towards Sierra. "Sierra it is good ot see that you are okay and back with us! Do you need any time off to fully recover? I wouldn't mind if you wanted to get back to work right now. Whatever your decision may be I will understand." It was obvious that the Chief was happy to see both Sierra and Mack unharmed, all though they were yelled at for deliberately keeping him in the dark and disobeying orders."Thank you, I think that I'll take a couple days off, I have some unfinished business to attend to. Do you think that I could borrow Mack and a couple officers?" She didn't really want to explain to her boss why she needed them."By the look on your face I can tell that I probably don't want to know why you need them." Chief Lewis
Mack didn't know exactly how this was going to play out, but he trusted Sierra even if he didn't quite trust Xavier. He parked a few yards away from the entrance to the warehouse, turned his lights off and cut his engine. He patiently waited for the black Altima to pass before he slumped in the front seat far enough so he could still see but not be seen. Butterflies danced an Irish jig inside his stomach as he wateched Xavier and Sierra enter teh warehouse, unarmed."Check one...testing...testing." He was speaking into his sleeve, where the hidden mic was. He hoped that the reception was good inside the warehouse."Hear you loud and clear." Sierra nervously replied.Good, at least they had communication! Mack thought to himself as nerves were riding high with anticipation, until he saw a car pull up to the warehouse about twenty minues later. "Does Dwight drive a silver Mazda RX-7?" He asked as he s
