Free Science Fiction Story - Corporate Takeover - Chapter 2 - The Fight In The Parking Garage
WAIT, HAVE YOU READ THE FIRST CHAPTER. CHECK IT OUT HERE BEFORE YOU CONTINUE
With a ding the elevator doors opened. Candice took a step out. The sound of her heel hitting the pavement echoed through the parking garage. She looked around. There were no cars. Above her the red pipes hummed. It was the only sound around her. With one hand inside her purse, she walked towards the back corner.
On the way there she though about how this happened. How could she lose everything she had so fast? There had to be someone in on it. As she walked she noticed there were white arrows on the floor that pointed in the opposite direction. Maybe she should have followed them.
In the back was a red Ferrari. It shined from the light that is was parked under. Candice slowly took a step forward. The door opened. First she saw his foot, then the rest of him. The man was 6'4". His hair was cut short. There was a look of determination in his eyes.
"Mrs. Clover," the man said as he took a step forward, "would you please get in the vehicle."
By the way the man was standing, he was not asking. Candice kept her hand in her purse and took a step forward.
"Who are you?" she asked defiantely.
"A professional... please, get in."
Candice took another step forward. She got a better look at the man. She did not know him.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Is isn't me who is doing this... you have two options Mrs. Clover. You get in the car or..."
"You stop using please."
The big man smiled. "I knew I would like you, last chance."
Candice didn't move forward. She bent her knees a bit to ready an attack. The bald man was no longer smiling. He lunged forward towards Candice, his arms outstretched. His was inches away when Candice took her hand out of her purse. She pressed her finger on the pepper spray she was holding. The mist covered the big man's face. He let out a groan. Candice dropped her purse. With all the force she could muster she punched the man in the gut.
Another moan. The man went down as he tried to catch his breath. Candice, in heels, lept on the man's back and wrapped her arms around his throat. She had trained for this. Years of lessons she never thought she would use. They all came out of her in that parking garage.
The large man got up. His eyes were red. He tossed Candice off of his back. She stumbled back towards the wall. There was something behind her. She turned around. It was the fire extinguisher. She smashed the glass. The man got closer. Candice grabbed the extinguisher. A hand pulled at her shoulder. She spun around, leading with the metal container.
CLONK!
The man went down. Candice let out a breath. She bent down to see if he was out. But someone grabbed her from behind. A cloth was shoved in her mouth. There was a smell she was unfamilair with. Then she got really tired. She collapsed in the arms of the woman behind her. With effort the woman carried her to the ferarri. She opened the back and placed her inside.
Candice got a look at the woman before she passed out.
"Sarah..." she said with her last breath.
The trunk slammed shut.
Hmm it seems that steemvoter is working properly again. So, that's good :)
I guess it was a temporary problem, it happens :).
I'm glad it was fixed quickly.
