Finding Sally

We drove for about ten minutes before arriving at the location. The car stopped beside other police vehicles that were hidden in bushes near an abandoned warehouse. It looked like it could hold about twenty cars. It looked as if it hasn't been used in years. Cobwebs could be seen quite vividly, indicating how old it was. Mr.Wick and his son stepped out of the vehicle, they insisted that I stay in the car. All the officers including Mr.Wick`s son armed themselves with dangerous weapons as they walked towards the building. I began to wonder if Sally was okay, I hoped and prayed that she was there and alive. I could hear broken glasses crackle while the officers walked and dirt falling on the officers over the pager. As the officers walked further into the building I could hear muffled speech and what sounded like chains being hit against an iron. I heard Mr. Wick on the pager saying that he could sense a signal pleading for help. 

     "Get behind the crates!" Mr.Wick  whispered-shout. After a while I heard shuffling and heavy breathing over the pager, "There are four armed men ahead, also there are five teenage girls chained to a pole with their mouths taped." he whispered in a deep voice. 

       "Rata, tata, taa! Bang! Pesheng- weng- weng! Pew Pew! Chick Chick Chick!" loud explosions were heard from the warehouse, my heart started to pound in my chest. Gunshots were being exchanged between the cops and the criminals. I was shocked and started to shake with terror. 

       "Three of them are down, two seem to be dead and the fourth suspect is escaping!" Shouted one of the officers. I was trembling and out of nowhere I saw someone running towards the vehicle I was accommodating, I had no idea what to do so I tried hiding on the floor. I felt something tough under my knee which was very uncomfortable, I stretched to move it but it was heavy and I realized it was Mr.Wick`s pistol. I took it up and grasped it firmly in my hand, I was scared and wanted revenge badly. I remembered the plan Sally told me before she was abducted and I didn't think twice about executing it. The mysterious man was clearly not Mr. Wick or any of his companions because of his actions. He came up to the door and grasped the handle to pull it, he expected it to be locked but it wasn`t. In the dark I could see the evil grin on his face while he was entering the vehicle, he tried to quickly turn on the engine to make his escape but I made sure he didn`t. I aimed the pistol at his head, the movement of the weapon alerted him and he froze like a snowman. 

       "The world doesn't deserve people like you in it. People who are just gonna hurt young girls and take advantage of them. Do you know how much pain their families might be going through? It is not fair. We have rights and a  life to live. It is not fair for a person's dream to be taken away from them because they are harassed and forced into something they don't want to be in. You've hurt my best friend and now you'll regret it!" I shouted

        "You wouldn't dare, you don't have th-," He said with a smirk on his face but I closed my eyes and squeezed the trigger before he could finish his statement. The explosion made my ears, "Reeeeee!" for about a minute. I opened my eyes and looked up, the back of his head was smashed open and looked like a black hole. Blood splashed all over the interior of the vehicle, my face and clothes were dyed with his blood. The bullet flew through his head and smashed through the windscreen and the glass was shattered.   Mr. Wick`s dashboard was painted in red. I turned my head to the right looking out the window and the officers were staring in astonishment. Other persons who commit this act for the first time would feel guilty but the only feeling I had was inner peace to know that I got rid of the person who had hurt my best friend. I stepped out of the vehicle and the gun fell out of my hand.

     I ran over to Mr.Wick, "Where is she? Is she okay?" I enquired while looking around him to see if I could see her. 

     "Don't worry, she is fine. You need to go home and get some rest," He responded with a concerned look on his face. I refused, but he continued insisting until I agreed. I saw flashing blue lights lit up the dark bushes, it was an ambulance and a coroner. Mr. Wick brought me to one of the other police vehicles because his vehicle was damaged and now a part of the crime scene. I was seated waiting for Mr. Wick to bring me home. About eight minutes after the  ambulance's arrival, it was departing and I didn't have a chance to even glimpse Sally. Sally along with the other teenagers were brought to the hospital to get treatment. Additional police units also arrived on the scene and took their reports, and the suspect who survived the attack was taken into custody. 

      Mr.Wick and his son entered the police vehicle, a smile was on my face because I know that Sally is safe and she is fine. Mr.Wick turned the key in the nob, the car growled as the engine started. He throttled the car from in the bushes back on the road before accelerating. On our way to my house, Mr. Wick asked me for my mother's number. He called her and it took three attempts before  getting in contact with her. He explained everything that happened, and she almost burst into tears. 

       About fifteen (15) minutes after contacting my mother we arrived at my house. Hearing the creaking sound of the car stopping, my mother blast out the door.  As I was exiting the car, my mother greeted me with a warm hug, I wrapped my hands around her and had no intention of letting go. I was really glad to see her, however, she was really angry and disappointed in me for disobeying her. Mr.Wick introduced himself and then left with his son. I had to sit down and listen to a speech from my parents for an hour. At other times I would've been bored to death listening to them but at this point I was attentive of everything they said. I made sure to cancel all other plans I had for the next day so I could go and visit Sally.

       The bright light almost blinded me when I opened my eyes. I grabbed my sheet and covered my face, I decided to lay back down for about six (6) more minutes. In that short period, all that happened in the night reflected back to me. My eyes became a river running down the side of my face. The thought of almost losing my best friend hit me. Then there was a smile in the midst of this, I didn't lose her, I saved her and many other girls. After this I took a glimpse at my phone and realized it was triple the amount of time I said I was going to lay back down for. I sprung out of bed and ran to the bathroom to freshen up, then I got my outfit and got dressed. I made my way downstairs to greet everyone in my house and let them know that I am going to the hospital. I begged my mother to borrow her car, and with no second thoughts she agreed because she was now scared of me taking taxis. I took up the keys and set off to my destination.

       In less than half an hour, I was at the hospital. I slowly drove to the parking lot and parked the car. I got out and transformed into Usain Bolt when entering the hospital, I was really excited to see her. When inside the hospital I asked a nurse to escort me to Sally's room. When approaching her room, I stopped and took a deep breath. I opened the door and Sally was sitting upright with a smile on her face. Visible bruises could be seen on her body and parts of her face. She seemed as if she was waiting all night for me to walk through the door. 

      "Rebecca, thank you for coming back for me," Sally said with watery eyes. My mouth was shivering, the words seemed to be trapped inside, I opened my arms wide and ran towards her. I screamed with joy. I had never expected to see Sally again
