Derrick

All I can honestly say right now is that my entire body feels as though it’s been used as a chair for a group of sumo wrestlers. My body aches in places I didn’t even know could ache. I groan as I try to roll over onto my back. The pain that seizes my body makes me feel like throwing up. I can tell that I’m lying on the floor, but the floor is smooth, so I must be in a building.

I jerk upright, promptly causing my body to convulse in wave after wave of pain. At least one rib is broken. I’m struggling to catch my breath as I realize that I’m in a closet. A closet with barely any light filtering through it from under the door. I’m in the building where the Boss lives, and if I’m here, I know that Sam has to be here as well. I didn’t believe a word that came out of Chris’s mouth. But what good could I be to her? I can barely stay conscious as it is. I’ll probably end up getting us both killed.

I’m startled out of my thoughts as I hear footsteps coming towards my closet. This is it, the moment that I die. I rather go down swinging than sitting here waiting for death like a lame horse. I force myself into a crouched position, body groaning in protest, waiting to tackle whoever is unlucky enough to open that door.

The door swings open and I’m met with a pair of familiar emerald eyes. My body collapses against the wall, all of the fight promptly leaving my battered body. I try to catch my breath as I take in every inch of her. Nothing really has changed about her. Her hair reaches to the back of her thighs and her skin is just as creamy as I remember.

“Sam,” I gasp. I try to get up to walk to her when she lashes out and punches me in my mouth. I crumple to the ground, more from shock than anything. I look up at her and I see everything I missed in my first inspection. Her eyes are hard and there’s a nasty sneer on her face. “Sam?”

“You should have forgotten all about me, Derrick, because I forgot all about you. I never thought you were this dumb, but I guess you proved me wrong. The Boss is going to have fun with you.” Even her voice has changed. It’s smoother with a huskier edge to it.

“What happened to you?” I ask.

“Do you really have to ask? I was stabbed in the stomach and then abandoned by the people who so called loved me.”

“Sam! That’s not true! When we woke up, we spent hours looking for you. The trail dried up before we could find you. I promise you!”

“Blah blah blah. I no longer care and, as much as I love a good reunion, the Boss is waiting for you,” she wipes her hands off as if the conversation sullied her hands.
