Chapter Nineteen: Judas Kiss

“Abigail?” A male voice cried out, causing Abby's eyes to grow wide as she quickly sat up. “Abigail,” the voice called once again. “Are you alright? I thought I heard you scream.” Abby swore her heart stopped within her chest as she saw the door handle begin to turn, but curiously it did not open.

Wally leaned into her. “I didn't want you escaping. I locked it when I came in,” he informed her and relief quickly washed over her body. “Get rid of him,” he told her.

Abby nodded before she attempted to get out of bed. Wally rose from the bed as well and found his pants on the floor as he quietly slipped them on as Abby found something suitable to cover her naked chest. “Abigail!” The doorknob was shaken violently.

“Will you stop with all that noise, Tommy?” Abby said as she unlocked the door and slightly opened it so she could peer out into the hall.

“Me?” Tommy looked at her in disbelief. “You're the one waking people up in the middle of night with all your hollering,” he argued. “I mean, what the hell are you doing in there anyway?”

“Well, I don't think that's any of your business, now is it?” Abby snapped before thinking as she felt her face flush in embarrassment. She then hoped that the man in front of her hadn't noticed. Tommy looked at her suspiciously with her words as she never became so defensive over something so trivial, but his expression did not escape Abby's eyes. “But if you must know,” she began slowly. “I had a nightmare, okay?” she lied convincingly. “Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try to get back to sleep,” she told him. “You should do the same. You haven't looked well since. . . well, the other day,” she stated softly.

Tommy lowered his head as his hand slowly came up to his bruised cheek where he had been struck by his brother. “My behavior was uncalled for,” he stated in a drone like manner as if he had been lectured. “A female, whether she be friend or unarmed foe, should be handled with respected.” Then, for the second time since Abby had come back into the folds of the Senthos family, Tommy looked no more than like a small child in her eyes. “A female is not a plaything, or a punching bag, nor is she-”

“Tommy, stop,” she cut him off and his eyes rose to meet her own. “You don't have to say anymore. I've already forgiven you.”

“I'm suppose to say the whole thing,” he told her.

Abby sighed, Tommy's hero worship when it came to his brother always worried her a bit. “If Hoagie asks, I'll tell him you did. It'll be okay,” she tired to convince him, half wondering if he would protest for deliberately lying to him, but to her surprise Tommy only shook his head to agree as his hand finally slid away from his discolored cheek. “Good.”

“Alright, I guess I'll just call it a night then,” Tommy informed her, still looking quite solemn, before he turned to go back down the hall.

The way his shoulders slumped as he walked bothered Abby. “Tommy!” she called a little loudly to get his attention. He turned to see what she wanted. “How about we talk in the morning, over breakfast?” There was something more bothering him and if he would allow her, she wanted to help, he was practically family anyway.

Tommy gave her a lope sided smile as he agreed. He then bid her good night before starting down the hall as she began to close her door, but as each was doing that hurried footsteps were heard coming from the other end of the hall.

“Tom!” yelled out one of the men. Curious, Abby still stood in the doorway. She then heard Wally slightly groan behind her in impatience.

“What is it?” Tommy asked, as he once again took on a demeanor that the others were used to as he walked towards the man.

“We may have a problem, sir,” Abby frowned as she realized it was Carlos who had spoken. The nerve he had to address Tommy when he was the reason for the other's assault.

“Well, I don't have all night. Spit it out,” Tommy's voice was filled with resentment towards him.

“Eric and I had gone to relieve Mark and Adrian from their watch, but found Adrian incapacitated and Mark,” he noticed Abby watching them. “Well, it wasn't pretty,” he downplayed. Then a strange sound was heard from Abby's room.

Carlos hadn't noticed, but Tommy had and so did Abby who slightly gasped and tensed at the sound. Tommy's expression was then one of anger and then concern. “Is there someone else in there with you?” he asked in a whisper as he leaned in towards her. “Are you in trouble?” He wanted to know, thinking that whoever had gotten past Mark and Adrian, probably got as far as the house by now.

“I'm fine,” she told him, but the look in her eyes told the Senthos otherwise. Tommy then looked to Carlos who was confused a bit, but pulled out his gun when he recognized the expression. Tommy motioned him towards the door. “What?” Abby looked at Tommy worriedly when he extended his hand.

“Take it,” he demanded softly. Abby didn't know how to responded. “Take it,” he left no room in his voice for negotiation. So Abby held her breath as she opened the door only as much as she had to and slowly reached out for Tommy's hand, who immediately grabbed it and pulled her towards him and out of the way. Abby screamed as Carlos kicked the rest of the door opened and blindly shot into the dark room.

All was quiet for a moment as Carlos relaxed as he turned on the light. He then turned towards Tommy and Abby. “There's no one-” was as far as he got before he blinked and slowly collapsed to the floor.

Wally than appeared in the doorway with a silencer on one of his custom made guns. His head was slightly lowered, his brow furrowed as he looked passed Abby and straight into the eyes of Tommy. “I'm here to take back what's mine,” he announced to the unarmed boy.

“You don't own anything here,” the other made clear.

“It came from upstairs!” was heard far on the other end of the house.

A smirk than appeared on Tommy's face. “Looks like you won't be making it out of here alive,” he said with confidence.

“And neither will you.” Wally aimed his next shot carefully, but before he could actually take his shot, Tommy was doubled over and soon laid on the floor next to Abby's feet. She had elbowed him in the stomach and than gave him a sharp blow to the back of the head.

Her frighten eyes then look into Wally's. “We have to go, the others will be here any moment,” she told him as he lowered his weapon and followed her back into the bedroom. Abby had gone around Carlos, but Wally showed no respect as he stepped over him. “It's bad luck to walk over the fallen,” she stated, but Wally only shrugged, he didn't believe in stupid superstitions.

Abby only groaned as she quickly donned some jeans from her closet before making her way to the window and looking down. They were up on the third floor of the house, but the trees that grew near the house were close enough to climb down. Abby quickly turned to Wally. “Let me have one of your guns,” she asked of him, not wanting to be helpless when they reached the ground.

Wally gave one up without hesitation nor question, before he helped Abby out the window as she took her place on the strong branches within her reach. “Hurry!” she urged the other, who looked wary as he looked down.

Wally than took a deep breath before reaching out for the branches and mirroring Abby as she made her way down. Abby had just passed the second floor window when she heard a snap from above. She then heard Wally gasp frightfully before he began to fall towards her. Luckily, Abby had quick reflects as she reached out for him and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt as he had managed to put his arms around the branch Abby was sitting on. Each breathed heavily for a moment as they heard someone above their heads. “What is it?” a male voiced asked loudly from Abby's bedroom.

“I don't know,” began another who sounded a lot closer. “I thought I heard something out here.” He looked out the window, but it was dark and Wally and Abby were too far down to be seen by him.

“Well, there's nothing here, let's go,” the first man told the other.

A moment later, Tommy's voice was heard. “You idiot, step around the body!” He then continued with, "I want the bug found, now!"

Several minutes of silence past before Abby or Wally dared to move in fear that someone still lingered above. “I'm slipping,” Wally announced as he his grip was starting to loosen.

Abby secured herself on the branch with her legs before leaning over and grabbing Wally with a stronger grip. Abby put everything she had into heaving Wally up towards her and thought for someone with such a small frame he was a lot heavier than she would have guessed. Then as she reached down further to get a grip on his pants so that he could get his leg around the branch, she saw something fall and bounce off one of the branches before it disappeared from her sight. “Shit,” Wally cursed as he realized they had dropped his gun.

“We'll get it when we get down there,” she assured him once he was safely sitting in front of her on the branch. He then slumped over, leaning into her tiredly. Hanging from a limb for his life had taken a lot out of him, but he was comforted as Abby wrapped her arms around him and held him tight as if afraid he would slip again. “Me saving your ass,” she began with a smile. “Reminds me of the good old days.” The blonde couldn't help, but give a small chuckle at that.

After a brief rest, Wally reluctantly pulled away from Abby. “We really can't stay here,” he told her.

“I know,” she agreed before reaching her hand out and taking his cheek. She then brought his face towards her and placed a simple, sweet kiss upon his lips. “Please, be more careful,” she asked of him and he nodded his head at her request. “Good, now let's go.” They then began towards the ground once again, but Wally, now afraid of falling, and abiding to Abby's wishes, took his time as he made his way down slowly. So slowly, in fact, that Abby had disappeared from his sight as she had already reached the ground.

Wally smiled brightly as the tree branches became less dense as he got closer to the ground. He then jumped down when he estimated it was a good distanced to do so. His landing was anything, but graceful as he had ended up on his face. “I hate trees,” he grumbled to himself as he sighed. He then began to sit up and looked around curiously when he saw Abby was no where to be seen. He bolted up, concern etched into his features as his blood ran a bit cold.

He then placed his hand on his chest. The fall he had taken had done nothing for his already bruised ribs. He closed his eyes, grimacing at the slight discomfort when he felt something round and cold placed just below his ear. Wally's eyes snapped open immediately as he saw none other than Abby with his own weapon pointed towards him. It was than that he realized that her asking for one of his guns and then the other 'accidentally' falling, was for this moment. “So, you finally got me exactly where you want me, huh?” he asked, his voice low and filled with anger. “So go ahead and do what you have to do,” he dared her.

“You really don't me at all do you, Numbah Four?” her expression was emotionless as she regarded him. "Because you don't know what I want."
