CHAPTER 9

(We Don’t Have a Choice)

 

Ashley and, Troy sat in their hotel room trying to figure out a way to locate, Angela’s whereabouts but all of their resources lead to a dead end.

“You think she’s still alive?” Troy asked. From the look on his face, one could tell that he had been up all night worrying.

“She’s still alive. Angela is as tough as they come,” Ashley said confidently. “We just have to find her before it is too late.”

As, Ashley sat there in deep thought, she heard her phone vibrate; she looked down at the screen and saw a message from an unknown number. The message was simple, “Your friend is in big trouble right now!” Ashley read the message and knew exactly whom it was from. “Matt Hardy just texted me,” Ashley handed the phone to, Troy. “Track the number so we can find the location to where they are.”

“What if it’s a trap?” Troy said. “What if he’s trying to lure you into a trap?”

“Matt Hardy could have killed me the other night if he wanted to, but he didn’t,” Ashley pointed out. “Maybe he’s trying to help?”

“Trying to help?” Troy echoed. “The man is a traitor he turned his back on his country and you think he’s trying to help?”

“It may be a shot in the dark but it’s the only shot we have right now,” Ashley replied. Troy punched a few buttons on his keyboard then looked up from his screen. “The phone is a four hour ride from here.” Troy wasn’t too fond of heading to a location blind but if, Ashley trusted Matt Hardy, he was sure she had a good reason. Now with, Angela missing, it was his job to back her up and make sure she didn’t get herself killed in the process of rescuing, Angela.

“What’s the location?” Ashley asked as she packed her bag with all of the equipment that she was going to need.

“It looks like a raggedy warehouse but they must be holding her underground,” Troy said. “You sure we can trust Matt?”

Ashley didn’t reply instead she looked over at, Troy and winked.
