Is this destiny?

Chapter 396 - Sarah's Birthday Celebration (6)

After a short walk, David and Derek stopped and turned to face Sarah.

"This looks like a good spot." Even in the dark, Sarah could see David's white teeth. She was not sure if he smiled or grinned.

Sarah glanced at surroundings and she could tell that a large patch of grass is bent down, as if someone stepped on it recently. 'This is far away from the houses. No one should come here. And this is recent... Did they bring Aiden here as well?'

"It's always nice to have attractive and friendly neighbors, don't you agree? I was always..." Derek chattered.

Sarah tried to listen carefully for any sounds, but Derek was making too much noise, and she could not hear anything other than his voice. 'If someone comes from behind, I will not hear him. Is that why he is blabbering?' Without further delay, Sarah swiftly moved between David and Derek who were facing her a moment before. She turned around and faced a third person. "Well, there is three of you!" Even in the dark, Sarah could see that third person is very similar to two men on each of her side. Before she moved, he was right behind her. "Is there more of you?"

David was stunned for a moment, but then smiled. "This is interesting... you are the first one in the area to know that there are three of us."

"I will take that as a confirmation that there is no more of you." Sarah smiled and David fell on the ground. There was no sound except for a low thud his body made when he landed in the grass.

Derek stared at her and David in disbelief. "What happened?"

Sarah turned to him and asked with mockery in her voice. "Do you want to know?"

"Of course!" Derek screamed.

In next moment, he fell on the ground. Just like David, the only sound he made was a low thud.

Sarah turned to the third man who didn't move at all. "What is your name? Let me guess... there is David and Derek... you are Dumbo?"

"Dylan..." He responded weakly. He was not sure what happened, but both of his brothers are on the ground, not moving. Dylan wanted to escape, but his legs refused to move.

Before he realized, Sarah was close to him. He was able to feel her breath on his face as she examined him closely.

"Now, Dumbo... looking at you, I can tell that neither of you three are good examples of intelligence. Who came up with a plan to distract me so that you can get Aiden out? And what did you do to him?"

Dylan just stared at her.

Sarah wrapped her fingers around his arm and pressed on a pressure point. He fell on his knees and screamed while Sarah looked at him with a crazed expression.

Sarah let go of his arm and waited until his screams reduced to whimpers. She took his chin with her fingers and lifted his head up, so that she can look him in the eyes. "I will do more than that if you don't speak. Who came up with the plan? What did you do to him?"

"Klark…" he muttered.

"Andrea and Clara?!!" Sarah was surprised, but then it was not unexpected. The surprise was only that two of them had the intelligence to get someone else to do the dirty work for them. "What did you do to him?" There was urgency in her tone.

Dylan didn't respond. Sarah raised her left hand, threatening to cause more pain.

Dylan started speaking immediately. "We only tied him up. I don't know what they want to do to him! They never told us!"

Sarah looked at him for a second before he fell on the ground without moving.

Without delay, Sarah pulled his t-shirt over his head and tore it in few strips. She touched her earpiece, "Eve, give me Aiden's location. Use GPS on his ring!"

By the time Eve sent the location on Sarah's phone, three Dodson brothers were on the ground, with their hands and legs tied up with fabric strips made from their t-shirts.

…

When Sarah reached location indicated on her phone, she faced a small shed. There was a light coming from inside through a broken glass window. She heard voices of two females. Sarah could tell that those are Andrea and Clara, but she was not able to tell which voice belongs to Andrea and which one to Clara.

"Hold him like that... yes... Hehe. I wish that I can see Sarah's face when we send her these... Ugh! It does not look good. You can tell that he is out."

"Should we wake him up?"

"How do you wake up a person who in unconscious?"

"I don't know... how about this?"

SLAP!

"It didn't work..."

"Maybe if I try harder."

"Wait, before you slap him again, let's use aphrodisiac. If he starts resisting, at least we know that in few minutes he will be obedient."

"Hmm... good idea. Get it."

"Where is it?"

"I kept it there, on the shelf..."

BANG!

Sarah kicked the door open, and it hit the wall making a loud bang.

Sarah's crazed eyes landed on Clara and Andrea who were staring back at her in shock. They were standing next to Aiden who was on the ground, tied up. Pieces of fabric were scattered through the floor, Sarah assumed that used to be his t-shirt. Her heart was breaking while her rage swelled exponentially.

"Which one of you slapped him?" Sarah squeezed through her teeth.

Clara winced and took a step back.

Andrea glanced at Clara. "There is no need to be afraid. There is two of us. We can take her!" She realized they are caught in the act, and there is no more need to pretend to be friendly. They can openly be hostile.

Clara looked at Andrea and smiled. "You are right!"

"Which one of you slapped him?" Sarah asked again in a menacing tone.

Andrea and Clara laughed.

"Do you think you scare us? We are not afraid of you! We are going to take care of you. And then we will take care of your precious boyfriend here." Andrea gloated.

"Since you are going to take care of me, you can grant me one wish, right? I just want to know which one of you slapped him." Sarah repeated in an almost calm voice.

"It was me!" Andrea said with glee while gesturing a slap with her right hand. "What are you going to... Ahhhh!" Andrea's scream covered up the sound of bones breaking in her right hand.

Clara was petrified. Her eyes were wide open in terror and locked on Sarah who seemed to be possessed by a bloodthirsty creature from hell.

Sarah looked at Andrea's right hand with utmost attentiveness as her slender fingers moved elegantly as if she is tuning a delicate instrument. The scary truth is that Sarah was breaking every bone in Andrea's hand from wrist to the tip of each finger meticulously. Halfway through, Andrea fainted. From that point onward Clara could hear sound of bones cracking. It sent chills down her spine. She was unable to move, as if her feet are cemented into the ground.

When last bone in Andrea's right hand was broken, Sarah lifted her gaze to Clara. "And what did you do to him?"

Clara shook her head uncontrollably. "Nothing. I didn't do anything..."

Sarah tilted her head. "Are you sure?"

"Honestly, nothing..." Clara was shaking as she stepped back and tripped on Aiden's legs.

"Well, now... that is not nothing, is it?" Sarah's voice sent chills through Clara's body.

Before Clara could react, she was on the floor, staring at her legs. Both of her legs were broken below knees, open fractures revealed bones sticking through the flesh and skin. Two puddles of fresh blood were increasing on the floor until they merged into one, as sticky red fluid dripped from the wounds where her bones stuck out. Clara was not sure if the gruesome sight or excruciating pain caused her to faint.

Seeing that both Klark sisters fainted, Sarah took a deep breath and looked at Aiden.

Her eyes darted across the floor until she found one glass shard. She used it to cut the zip ties around Aiden's ankles and wrists. Sarah sat on the floor and kept his head on her thighs gently, as if she is handling a wounded butterfly.

Sarah got her phone and called JoAnna. "Can you come now? ... Aiden is hurt. Eve can send you location… Bring one Jeff's t-shirt and something that can wake up an unconscious person."

Sarah kept her phone in the pocket, and gently caressed Aiden's cheek with hope that he will wake up soon.
