Snippet #2502007

I studied the words of the victim Satey and I thought about the drives of the President. Was it money? Couldn't possibly be, he owns all the banks. Why would he need the money when he could just go out and steal it? Was it to get back at the Vice President for something personal? No, her would've kept it a secret instead of broadcasting it across America. I tapped my chin and thought about the chance of Leon wanting more power. He was corrupting the government, using his secret service as his personal guards in a search of power. In all honesty, he didn't really care about the daughter. He just needed someone who he could catch easily and that would cause the nation to go into a rampage. Innocent little girls took the ticket and that's exactly what Satey was.

I stopped my thinking and explained to Satey, "The president doesn't like the Vice President or whoever he's working with that's for sure. But he's just using you to get power. He's making this representative democracy a dictator and he's using fear to make the citizens bow at his will. At least that's what I'm thinking. And I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. But, you're just a girl and he saw you as an easy-to-capture target." I wiped my eyes and said, "I'm sure you are important to Leon at this point. I did steal you from him. He's after me too, probably wants me dead. But, just so you know, I will protect until I cannot stand."

Suddenly, I heard whupping in the air. The blades of a helicopter were making the noise and patted my hands in the air towards Satey, hissing at her to be quiet. The blades sound got closer until I began to here the engine of the said machine. The blades began to slow down and I heard some murmuring and footsteps above our heads and I stared at the porthole, waiting for it be blasted open. Luckily enough, the lid was kept shut for the hours that we were waiting, but it didn't appear that the people above us were going to leave. So, I pointed to one of the three beds near the other side of the room, whispering very quietly, "If you feel like sleeping, there's beds over there. I'll be on guard all night, don't worry, but I don't think these guys are leaving anytime soon." I kept my eyes up at the entrance and stared, waiting for anything.
