"How old is she?"
I shake my head as a soft chuckle comes out, "Dude...come on."
But Lenna just smiles, "She just turned eighteen." Her smile turns into a frown, "Which means it will soon be time..."
I gently take her hand in mine, "We'll save her."
Lenna looks up at me with such hope in her eyes. I do anything for our survivors, but Lenna...I would burn the world down to save her. There's just this spark, a pull to her that I can't deny.
Cyclopes comes over to our group and claps his hands together, "Alright, brothers. Let's focus up here. Mace will go with Lenna to the booth. Tex will distract the men. Doc will stay over toward the exit with eyes on Lenna at all times. Berserk will stand on the other side of the booth so he can hear and see anything. I'll be walking around watching as well. If you hear my whistle, get the fuck out of there as soon as you can." He turns to me, "Stay close to Lenna and Mace." He then turns to Lenna, handing her a burner phone, "This is to try and slip to your sister. If you can't, no worries."
Lenna nods and we all head out, following the directions our President gave us. As we walk over to the booth, Lenna's sister looks up and starts to gasp. Lenna quickly shakes her head and turns. Her breathing starts to pick up and I can see her hands shaking. Gently, I take her hands in mine, then tilt her chin up to face me.
"It's gonna be okay, baby. You've got all of us, okay?"
Lenna nods, keeping her one hand in mine. We head over to the booth and step inside. Mace pulls his phone out of his pocket, pretending to be on a call, yet keeping an eye on everything. As Lenna steps toward her sister, I can see Text talking to the men outside, pulling their attention toward the other side of the truck.
I nod, letting Lenna know the coast is clear. She rushes over, her sister falling into her arms.
"Are you okay? They're looking all over for you. The Prophet is so mad, Lenna!"
"I'm okay, Ada. Did they hurt you? Mama? My babies?"
Ada shakes her head, "We're okay. The babies are staying with us, Mama is taking care of them. Daddy still thinks you'll come home and partake in your duties to The Prophet. You need to go before they see you!"
"Here, sneak the phone back. I'm going to save you all, Ada. I promise."
I hear Cyclopes telltale whistle and grab Lenna's hand. Mace comes flying in the tent.
"We have to go!"
Lenna starts to cry, "Just one more minute! Please!" She turns to her sister, "I love you, Ada. Please tell my babies I love them. I can't live without them!"
Cyclops whistle gets louder as Lenna clings to her sister. I grab her hips, pulling her away.
"Baby, we gotta go. Now. Come on."
Mace stands on her other side as I wrap my arm around her, guiding her back to the parking lot. Lenna is uncontrollably sobbing as I buckle the helmet on her. She buries her head in my chest as I rev the engine of my bike. I can feel her body shaking as I whip around sharp curves to the clubhouse. My heart is breaking for this woman. As we pull into our compound, I start to make a plan to get her babies back.
Chapter four
Lenna
I'mcurledintoaball on the small bed. The sparsely decorated room taunts me as I dry heave, my body completely spent from crying. The door creaks open and Vamp comes in with a tray of food. He carefully sits on the edge of the bed, pushing the tray toward me.
"Brought you some dinner."
I roll to the other side, facing the wall. "I'm not hungry."
Vamp groans, "You gotta eat, baby. Your body needs food and you need to drink some water too."
"I don't want any of it. I want my babies. I want my sister. I just can't even think about what they will do to them..."
I start to cry again when Vamp reaches over and gently rubs my back.
"We're going to save them, Lenna. I promise you that. I will get your babies back."
I whip around, glaring at Vamp, "You can't make promises you can't keep. They'll kill you before you even get close to my children. My only choice is to go back."
