Viper's Run Page 51
Lily climbed out, walking around the front of the SUV. Coming to stand next to Winter, she took Lily’s hand in hers trying, without words, to reassure the young girl. The fear was obvious in her eyes as the deputy moved closer to Winter.
“You been drinking tonight?” He questioned obnoxiously.
“I haven’t been drinking,” Winter answered him truthfully. He stared arrogantly down at her before his eyes slid towards Lily. His change in expression was sickening; he made no attempt to keep his lustful expression from showing.
“You had any drinks tonight?”
Lily just shook her head no.
“If that’s all, we’d like to go deputy.” Winter desperately tried to end the encounter.
“You’ll go when I tell you to go.” The deputy turned back to face her. As he did, the hand holding her license brushed up against her, knocking it out of his hand. It landed at her feet; automatically bending down into a squat, she picked it up. As she did, her eyes glanced at his boots. They were very distinctive with a buckle and star on the side. Winter had seen them before.
Trembling now in terror, Winter stood up trying to keep her terror from showing. She was unsuccessful.
His eyes bore into hers and she knew he had figured out that Winter knew who he was. Before she could react, he backhanded her, throwing her into the side of Beth’s vehicle. Lily screamed, moving toward Winter. The deputy grabbed a handful of Lily’s hair, stopping her.
“Now, there isn’t any need for you to be scared. I’ll take care of you right after I finish with this cunt.” Winter’s hand grabbed the door to right herself, slowly moving away from the deputy.
“You remembered me, didn’t you? I was hoping you would,” he shrugged. “A man likes to know he’s made an impression,” he said, dragging Lily by her hair as he stepped in front of Winter, preventing her retreat.
“Why?” Winter asked. If he was going to kill her at least she would know why he tried to kill her at the high school.
“You almost got me fired. If my dad hadn’t used his connections, I would have been. Of course, the old bastard warned me he would disown me if I got in trouble again.” He said slamming the butt of his flashlight into Winter’s stomach as the air rushed out of her. She fell to her knees gasping for a breath as he slung Lily hard into the SUV door.
“Get in there and turn off the lights and motor,” he yelled. “Now!”
Winter watched as Lily’s fingers tried to open the door, but they were shaking so badly, they couldn’t grasp the handle. Winter managed to get to her feet. Seeing her move, Deputy Moore released Lily’s hair long enough to grab Winter’s arm. Winter tried to break free, struggling against his hold.
“Lily, run…” Winter screamed. Lily hesitated. Winter could tell she did not want to leave her behind.
“Go get help. Run…!”
“I’ll kill her if you move.” Deputy Moore tried to drag Winter closer to Lily so that he could grab her, but Winter struggled desperately against his hold, trying to give Lily time to get away. Frustrated, the deputy quit trying to reach Lily, pulling out his gun. Lily ran. She started running on the road, but the sound of a gunshot had her veering off into the wooded hillside. Deputy Moore fired another shot at her. He tried to adjust to a better position to shoot at Lily, but Winter kept striking him, using her nails to dig into the flesh of his arm.
“You stupid bitch, I’m going to put a bullet through your head if you don’t stop,” he screamed at her.
Lights suddenly hit them from an oncoming car, highlighting their struggling figures in the darkness of the night. The car slowed before pulling to the side of the road. The car doors opened and women began climbing out of the car.
“If you say one word to them, I will kill you and then kill them.” Deputy Moore warned her. Winter stopped struggling. The pain in her back was excruciating and her legs were trying to give way, making her hang limp in his brutal grip.
“What the fuck is going on here?” Winter looked at the women recognizing them from the night at the Pink Slipper. Winter realized the woman demanding an explanation from the deputy was Crazy Bitch and that Sex Piston was the one crossing the road coming towards Winter and the deputy.
“Get back in your car. This is none of your business, I pulled her over for driving under the influence and she is resisting arrest.” His harsh voice didn’t stop the women moving forward.
“Why do you have Beth’s ride?” Sex Piston asked Winter.
Winter knew she had a choice. She could tell Deputy Moore wasn’t going to let any of them go. They would be able to identify him when she turned up missing, he only had one option, but Winter didn’t.
“Get help, help from Beth. Tell her to get Razer. Run!” Winter screamed at the biker women as she resumed her struggles to get away from the deranged deputy.
“Stop it!” He lifted his gun towards Winter, but before he could fire it he found himself under attack from Sex Piston and Crazy Bitch. Trying to protect himself from the two women, he was forced to release Winter. Losing her balance, she was knocked to the ground from the struggling trio. Winter watched as Crazy Bitch tore the gun from his grasp while Sex Piston was trying to rip out his hair. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the remaining biker women running towards them, except one who was reaching back inside the bright green car and brought out a baseball bat. Running towards them, Killyama came up behind the struggling deputy.
“Get out of the fucking way.” The bitches moved aside, leaving him to Killyama. Winter had no sympathy for the man as she watched her bring the bat across his back, knocking him into the SUV. Giving him another hard whack between his shoulder blades had him falling to the ground beside Winter.
One of the women knelt down beside Winter. “Are you okay?”
“Yes.” Get my phone out of the car and call Viper.” T.A. got to her feet going to the SUV and she placed the call.
Killyama was finally satisfied that the deputy wasn’t going to move with her standing over him with a bat and Crazy Bitch pointing the gun at his head.
“What in the fuck was going down?” Sex Piston asked.
“He was trying to kill me. He attacked me once before, but he wasn’t identified. He knew I recognized him and he was going to kill Lily and me.” Winter’s almost incoherent explanation had Lily’s predicament flooding into her mind.
“Oh God, Lily,” Winter moaned. “She took off running into the woods,” Winter screamed, trying to get T.A to help her to her feet.
“We need to find her!” Winter screamed again. “She may be hurt, he shot at her twice.”
“Calm the fuck down,” Killyama said. “We’re not going to run around these woods in the dark. Wait for the men.” Deputy Moore started moving. “What did he do to you?” She asked with a mean glint in her eye.
Winter stared at the woman holding the bat. “He almost beat me to death, left me outside all night on the ground. He didn’t finish the job so he was going to kill Lily and me.” Winter was shaking so badly, she had to hold on to T.A. to prevent herself from falling.
“You a friend of Beth’s?” Crazy Bitch asked.
Winter nodded, “I’m one of her bridesmaids.”
