“We were out in the countryside somewhere and I didn't have a fucking clue where. I saw her turn down a dirt road that really wasn't more than a path. I pulled my bike off the side of the road, hid it slightly and started jogging to catch up with her. The road ended at an old barn. There was an outside light over the barn doors and a fainter light coming from inside. I got there in time to see Jade go in.
“There were two other cars there besides Jade's. I slipped into the trees and made my way around the barn. There were two guards on each side of the barn and none at the back that I could see. I didn’t have a clue how many might be in the barn, all I had was a count of four and Jade.
“I decided to call in and let you know what was going on, but when I got my phone out, I didn't have any service. So I made my way back to the path and, as I was trying to decide what I was going to do, a black panel van came down the road. I eased back into the trees and watched.
“It pulled up about ten feet from the barn, close enough to the light for me to see fairly well. I watched as one man got out of the driver’s side and one got out of the passenger side. They went to the back and opened the rear doors, a third man got out dragging Zoey toward him by her feet.
“I heard her crying, but she wasn’t fighting. In the light I could see something dark on…” I watched as Reb dropped his head and shook it, then he drew in a deep breath, raised his head and continued, “I about flipped my shit at what I saw.
“I watched the men take Zoey into the barn. Now I had a count of seven men, but I still didn’t know how many were already in the barn. I knew I needed to try to get through to you, Prez. So I eased back down the dirt path to the main road to see if I could get service. As I stepped up on the edge of the road, I saw bike headlights coming toward me. When I heard the rumble of the pipes, I knew it was Pred and Jace. I waved for them to pull over and stop.”
He leaned back and took another drink.
Pred leaned forward and took up the story, “Not long after Reb left to follow Jade, a black panel van pulled up in front of the house. It was facing our direction and Jace and I could see two men up front. We watched as two men exited the passenger side of the vehicle and went into the house.
“The driver stayed in the van, as a lookout I assume. When the men came back out of the house, one of them was carrying Zoey. The man had his hand over her mouth and was trying to subdue her, but she was struggling for all she was worth. He threw her into the back of the van then crawled in behind her, the other man got in on the passenger side and the van immediately took off.
“Jace and I jumped on our bikes and had just pulled out onto the road when Noah came running out of the house. I motioned to Jace to get him but I stayed with the van. It didn't take Jace a minute to catch up with me. We followed the van out into the fucking boonies.
“We had to do like Reb and hang back some so they wouldn't be able to tell they were being followed. We were roughly a quarter of a mile behind them when the van turned off the road. We slowed down and the next thing we knew we saw Reb standing on the road. He motioned toward his bike, so we pulled in beside it. We told Jace to stay with Noah and if anything happened to get him the hell out of there.”
Reb leaned forward again and continued, “We checked for cell phone service again but didn’t have any. On our way to the barn, Pred and I compared notes on what we had observed with Jade, the van, the men, and Zoey. I told him about the four outside guards plus the three men from the van who had gone into the barn, but that I didn't have a clue how many additional men were inside. This whole time we were freaking out about what was happening to Zoey, and we knew we had to hurry.
“Pred and I split up right before the barn, each of us taking a side. We'd decided to take out the guards I’d seen on each side and meet up in the back behind the barn. I took out two guards and Pred took out two. When I looked around the back corner of the barn, there were two more men that I hadn’t seen earlier standing together. They must have been inside and came out when I went back to the road to check for service.
“I saw Pred looking around the corner on his side and motioned toward the two men. There wasn’t as much cover at the back of the barn, so we tried to get as close to them as we could before they heard us. Luckily, neither hollered out but they each got in a couple hits before we could finish them off. The dumb shits didn't even have their guns out. They didn't think anyone would be there.”
I watched as he took a deep breath, obviously upset about something. He glanced over at Zoey and I followed his gaze to see her rocking back and forth with her
