I could hear footsteps coming back, accompanied with heavy emotions. My eyes darted to the door knob as my predator unlocked it. I stepped up onto the bathtub ledge and waited out of sight behind the door.

The door opened quickly, a different man stepping inside then the one that had put me in here. My heart rate shot up when I saw the 6 inch blade in his right hand. He fiddled with the light switch, barking a word I didn’t understand. After giving up, he took a small step. He moved slowly into the room, and was peering forward through the dark for me.

Controlling my breathing was a struggle. Not letting out a high pitched whimper was taking even greater effort. I fought the urge to shrink backwards into the tub and cover my head with my hands.

Taking a couple steps in, his attention went to the ground as his foot slipped forward on the gelled surface. I steadied myself on the ledge of the tub, brought up my foot, landed a sharp kick to his hand with the knife, causing his wrist to crack and the knife dropped to the ground. He bellowed in rage and turned to swing a large fist at me. My knees bent and angeled me out of his punch. Next, I leaped from the bathtub ledge and jumped onto his back, smashing the towel to his nose and pressing down firm. He grabbed for my head, yanking out thick strands of hair and pushing backwards. The slippery floor finally took away his balance and we toppled over into the tub, landing hard on the ceramic surface. My back and shoulder cracked, screaming in protest from the fall. I ignored the raging pain that shot through my body, and held firm onto my grip. His flailing hands slowed down until they finally dropped on top of his large belly.

“Gavin!” I yelled, hoping for a little help. I pushed the large arabian man off of me and he slouched farther into the bathtub. Crawling out of the tub, I eyed him warily. I made the quick decision to plug the drain and flipped the water on, making sure his face would be below water level within minutes.

As I stepped over him, I grabbed his blade from the floor and walked out into the hallway. I didn't understand why I was never given any weapons in these missions. Someone was going to hear about it later.

There was a noise and I cringed, taking a step backwards. Gavin was standing to my right, being held at gunpoint by the same lady I had seen in the room where the children were sleeping. Her eyes were cold, a silver gun pointed at Gavin’s head. His eyes pleaded with me, his mouth hanging open slightly.

My heart skipped a beat and my blood turned to ice. The thought of her harming him put me into a rage and my left hand flew up, energy flying from it, knocking both of them backwards.
