Caught
Erika
Red and blue lights flickered across the buildings surrounding me and
sirens echoed down the alley, instantly making me tense. My heart
rate picked up as panic set in. I couldn’t get caught, not now, not when I
was so close. The barely conscious man at my feet had given me the
information I needed after I persuaded him to talk by breaking several of his
bones with a hammer. I didn’t feel sorry for the asshole; he deserved
everything he got. He was involved with human trafficking and was
personally responsible for several rapes, assaults, and murders.
My eyes snapped over my shoulder to see the police cruiser blocking the
alley. Two cops jumped out of the vehicle and stood behind their doors,
drawing guns from their holsters and pointing them down the lane in my
direction. I didn’t waste any time before taking off in a full sprint down the
alley parallel to the one they were blocking; it was a T-shaped lane.
Unfortunately, I only made it a few steps before a second cop car turned
into the path ahead of me, blocking my exit. Shit.
I didn’t stop. Still fueled by adrenaline, my body took off in the opposite
direction. It was my last chance at freedom. I was almost there—only a few
more feet. I could see the lights ahead from the busy New York street,
illuminating the night.
Sadly, my hopes of escaping came to a screeching halt when a third
cruiser stopped at the mouth of the lane. I was surrounded, and there was
nowhere for me to go.
“There’s no way out. Drop the hammer and put your hands in the air.” A
deep, authoritative voice echoed through a loudspeaker down the alley.
My head snapped around, desperately trying to find another way out.
There had to be one. I couldn’t go to jail, not until I killed the man
responsible for my sister’s death. After that, I didn’t care what happened to
me. They could lock me up and throw away the key for all I cared.
I spotted a large metal door and yanked on the handle, only to find it
locked. I tried two more, but they also wouldn’t open. I slammed my fist in
frustration against the last door, causing a painful hiss to leave my lips. I
looked down at my knuckles and found blood oozing from a fresh cut.
Movement in my peripheral vision caught my attention. The cops were
slowly moving in on me. All six of them still had their guns pointed in my
direction.
My shoulders sagged in defeat. I wasn’t getting out of this mess and was
likely going to jail for a very long time. It didn’t matter that the guy I beat
up deserved it; they would still lock me up.
