Shane: Let me see her!

Jenny took another powerful blow to her leg. Shane bit down again and let out a grunt. Jenny’s lips curled into a tight smile.

Jenny: I’ll leave her to you guys. Give her a whack or two. Cezar will be back in a day or two. Keep her alive.

Jenny left the warehouse and went back to the mansion. She saw Carmen staring at the bike in the backyard. Carmen reached out and touched it. It was cold. No one had driven it. Carmen wondered and worried about Shane. If her bike was here, where was she? Carmen had a sickening feeling in her stomach. She felt guilty for what her dad did, but she hated what Shane had did. Lied to get close to her and use her. Her heart yearned for her though. Her hand lingered on the helmet. She wanted to know how it felt riding on the back of the bike with Shane. How the wind blew through her hair and how it would feel to be behind her. She took it in her arms and hugged it.

Jenny: What are you doing?

Carmen spun around dropping the helmet.

Carmen: Where’s Shane?

Jenny: She doesn’t exist anymore.

Carmen placed the helmet back on the bike, walked over and slapped her across the face.

Carmen: Give me her now!

Jenny: Cezar said no.

Carmen called her dad.

Cezar: Honey?

Carmen: Where’s Shane?

Cezar: Honey, she lied to you.

Carmen: Give me her.

Carmen held out the phone to Jenny.

Jenny: Yes?

Cezar: I’ll be back in an hour. Jenny, you take her to Shane. Don’t let her go though. I’ll be there really soon.

Jenny took Carmen to the deserted warehouse. She opened the door and there was Shane sitting in the chair bloody and bruised. The lights were dimmed except for her.

Carmen: Stop!

A very big man was just about to swing the golf club again. He turned and looked at Jenny. Jenny nodded and the man moved away. Carmen ran towards Shane.

Carmen: Shane! Wake up!

Shane lifted her head. She was covered in so much dried blood. Her head seemed heavy. Her whole body ached.

Shane: Carm… you’re here.
