259 Long Waited "I'm really sorry! I just-I wanted to get to the cars..." Blurting nonsense, Scar sobs as she tries to get words out.
"I know, baby, I know," The man is not stopping, but starts pushing her in the direction of that closest, "and you did great! You will be safe, don't worry!" Scar knows he is just comforting her. She obviously worsened the situation. If Sebastian managed to do anything before this, she has ruined it by now. "I'm sorry--" Scar couldn't find anything to say. Only that word can find its way out of her.
"Hey, hey, hey, you are okay? I'm not mad at you. If the police can't cin time, the cars would be our best shot!" Sebastian cups her face, bending low to search for her eyes. He gazes into her eyes, making her sees into his eyes, where there is only clean warmth and genuine care, "You did great and you almost made it. I'm just glad that you are not hurt. Get in there." "Here?" Scar backs into the in-wall closet, "We are hiding here again? We can't, they are right behind us--!" "Yes, we can. This is the safest way," Sebastian forces her in, grabing the two handles on the doors. His body and the doors making a line, guarding the little fortress that she's in.

What's his plan? How long could two shabby wooden doors hold against FIVE muscled thugs with weapons? Sebastian takes a long, deep breath. He calms down and smiles at her, and Scar feels like the world around her has stopped.
"Seb--" Sebastian pushes her into the cloest before he closes the doors between the two of them. Before Scar could even understand what just happened, he stickes the baseball bat across the handles of the two doors until the thick head of the bat locks the doors shut. "Sebastian!" Scar shouts in panic, throwing her fists into the door, "What are you doing?!" Pressing his hands on the frof the door, the man lands his forehead on the gap between the two doors, his eyes closed, exhausted.
"Se--!" "Scar, I--" The man says slowly, only to stop himself as if having a change of heart. After a short pause he looks up and smiles at her, the heavy, hurtful tone gone: "I won't let them hurt you, I promise." Scar sees his plan in his determined eyes.
"What...?" Scar mumbles as fear grips her before her brain could caround. She beats the door in panic as she shouts, "No! You can't do this! No! Please, letout! Sebastian!" Not answering her, Sebastian turns around. Scar watches in horror as the five guys enters the empty work shop menacingly with bats and thick sticks in their hands, blocking any way out of the room. Between them and her is a wooden door locked by a baseball bat, and the man who promised to keep her safe. Nothing else.
The men gathers up around Sebastian, evil smirks on their faces.
"I guess I can't persuade you to step aside, can I?" The driver -- leader of the team taunts, waving the bat in his hand slowly.
"I'll give you the documents!" Scar shouts hysterically, beggint the thugs, "I promise I'll get your the files. I won't press charge on Ava! Please! Don't do this! We can negotiate!" None replied her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe driver throws a brutal swing, aiming right at Sebastian's head. The man dodges swiftly to the side, kicking the driver on the waist. The other four guys all jumps at him the next second, but as much as Sebastian is trying to dodge, he is not leaving the door.
He is guarding her with his body.
Fists and feet lands on the man like rain drops on a tree in storm. At first he would try to throw spunches back, but soon he couldn't do much but just covering his head. But in this crazy exchange, Sebastian has a hand on the tip of the bat the whole time, keeping the "lock" on the door safe and sound.
Scar shouts pleas to the point she is son
no longer making sense, but nothing seems to matter to the thugs, not even the nJack Faller.Scar cries sp hard that her voice becomes hoarse, only to freeze in shock when she watched a food land brutally on Sebastian's hand holding the bat. "Stop It!" Scar bursts into a frantic shout, "I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you!"
The driver laughs at her: "Kill us? Is death the worst threat you can throw, little girl? Is that what you fear the mest? There are much more you should be afraid of."
Scar shakes her head, sliding down against the door as desperation grabs her. Her whole world filled with the sound of punches, kicks, and the suppressed groan of the man who is keeping up a safe little fortress for her. And then, comes the long-waited siren.
