The agents looked the men over and made sure they all shivered before they turned their eyes away.
There was a along period of silence while they were deciding how to start, but Rebecca soon ran out of patience. “Okay we’re here, against our will may I add, so what do you want?” Her voice shook showing how nervous she was.
Heins cleared his throat, “As I have already pointed out to you , you’re suspected of murder.”
Emily snorted, “You wanna show your proof?” She snapped at the unexpected man. Her eyes were still red from her tears.
“On…well—” Littrell looked pleadingly at the rest of the men, getting no response, he signed, “You want to tell us why you suddenly ran across the road? At the same time that our body guard died?”
“What?” Rebecca said suddenly angry. “You have kidnapped us just because we ran across the street to save ourselves?”
Richardson raised a brow, “Save your selves? What from?”
“Your crazy screaming fans, Mr Richardson that’s who.” 73 snapped fed up with the stupidity of the situation she was in.
“Don’t talk about out fans that way!” Carter snapped at her.
“Oh?” 73 asked looking amused, “What are you planning on doing about it Mr Carter?”
“Do I know you from somewhere?” McLean asked leaning forward.
“Probably why I don’t go there any more.”
He moved back offended.
“That’s it. I really have had enough of this bull shit” 26 yelled breaking her silence, “You are the most selfish, self centred , obnoxious and inhuman bastards I have met in my life” She paused and took a deep breath,” You don’t even—uh even—aghh…” 26 suddenly doubled over and fell out of her seat, a mask of pure pain covered her suddenly pale face. She was shaking violently, 73 wasn’t sure wether she was shaking from pain or a lack of blood.
73 jumped out of her seat, the guard behind her pointed his gun at her, “Stick it up your arse,” She snapped kicking it out of his hand. She ran down to the where 26 was , still doubled over in pain. Richardson and McLean were already standing over her. She ignored and pushed them out of the way, “Erin…Erin…” She said trying to get the attention of the semi conscious girl.
With an agonising cry of pain 26 finally came to herself, fighting for air.
“It’s something on her side,” Littrell concluded. He made room for himself , then pulled at the corner of her jumper and exposed the blood stained top underneath it .
Richardson took in a deep breath, “How did you get that? “ He demanded still a little wide eyed
“Today when your little sumo wrestler pushed me over…” She snapped.
“Your bloody body guard could be sued for this.” 73 yelled at them while helping 26 up. As soon as the girl moved she shook her head and 73 stopped trying to help her sit up.
“Our body guard is dead.” Carter spat angrily.
“Well then you’re liable I suppose!” She yelled at him, her tone so harsh he tried to disappear behind Dorough. She took a deep breath in order to calm her nerves, “Get away people, give me some space,” She snapped at them all, then turned her attention back to her injured partner.
It was clear that the wound needed to be taken care of, otherwise 26 would die from blood loss and internal bleeding.
“Help me get the jumper off her.” She ordered McLean and Richardson. They pulled off the jumper trying to cause her as little pain as possible.
“Give me your hanky D.” Kevin ordered holding his hand out.
“Oh no…” Dorough began to back away.
“Now D.” Richardson said firmly leaving no more room for arguments.
Reluctantly, very reluctantly, Dorough handed the silk hanky to Richardson. “Take this,” He ordered Jess behind him, “There’s a tap outside—” Before he had finished Jess took off.
“And hurry…” McLean flushed as everyone stared at him.
Moments later Jess returned pushing the soaked material into 73’s face.
“JC…did you bother to squeeze the water out of it by any chance?”
“Jess glanced at the object in question and shrugged, “No?”
“ The agony.” She muttered, squeezing the water out of the hankie.
“Hey hey hey, go easy on the hankie will ya?”
Littrell looked disgusted, “Just shut up Howie.
“Now lets see…” Jessica grabbed the corner of the shirt and jerked it.
26 cried out in pain and blood began to seep through the exposed wound.
“Jess you idiot!”
“Yaz just concentrate on Erin for now, you can deal with Jess later.” Rebecca said turning 73 around .
“I didn’t know you had any medical experience Yaz.” Emily said.
“Em make yourself useful and go see if you can dig out a first aid kit or something.” 73 snapped, then she noticed the body guards all standing around doing nothing. “What’s with them?”
The men shrugged.
73 began wiping the blood away, off the wound. “I think we’re going to need an ambulance—.”
“Yaz I found a first aid kit,” Em said shoving the box in front of 73, “It was in the van.” She explained when 73’s eyebrow shut up.
73 finished wiping the blood away, then opening the first aid kit she began disinfecting and wrapping her partner. She studied the finished product critically, “There we go, good as new,” She said getting up, “Well almost.” She added catching a glimpse of 26’s sour expression. As soon as she was on her feet her head began to spin, She took a few steps back, then dropped down on the cold concrete.
“You okay?” McLean asked.
“Of course I am, I’m just sitting down.”
McLean backed off and helped Rebecca pull 26 up into a seat.
“Aaayyyyyy!”
“Sorry.” Bec apologised.
“Oh please,” Carter snorted, “I’m sure it’s not that bad.”
“How would you know?” Jess snapped at him bitterly. “It’s only a –.”
“How about I stick a piece of glass into you Mr Carter ?” 73 said getting up.
“That would probably kill me.” He said facing her.
“Believe me I could kill you right now.” She yelled.
“Like you killed our body guard?”
73 grabbed his collar and was about to break his nose when 26 cried out in pain, and she came to herself, feeling the weight of all those stunned eyes on her. She let go of his and pushed him back a little. “What happened to that ambulance?”
