The Day Death Went Away Chapter 8 Crime

He just needed to cut through town and he would be safe back in his house. He could feel the grass brushing against his legs as he started to descend down the hill. He had got about half way down the hill, when he heard a high pitch scream. It was from back where he was. “It was Ruby!” he said.

Mark did not even think about it for a second. He ran back up the hill, only to see Ruby Struggling as she was getting dragged out the car by two rather large muscular men.

“Let me go” Ruby yelled.

“Shut up! You Rich bitch, that a nice car you have we will be taking it now.” The man covered Ruby’s mouth with his bear like hands.  Ruby opened her mouth and her teeth bit down on the man’s finger.

“Ow! You stupid bitch, you need to be taught your place.”  The other man was unbuttoning the fly on his jeans. “I would have just put a bullet to your head but that don’t seem to work anymore.” Mark ducked behind the hill watching in horror what was about to occur. Mark thought back to when he was on the bridge. How he’d just given up, he was powerless and scared. “I have already taken a bullet to the heart, what’s the worst that they can do. It’s not like I can die.” He said to reassure himself.  Mark clinched his fists into balls.  He thought about all of the action stories he had written. How the hero always sweeps in to save the damsel in the last minute. They always make an entrance.

Ruby screamed as one of the men put their hands up her blue skirt to pull off her panties.

“No! No! Oh god no! Please let me go.”

“You brought this on yourself bitch; you should have just been a good girl.”

“Turn her on her back, let’s see that ass.” The men flip Ruby onto her back and pinned her down in the dirt. Mark could not take it no more he made his entrance.  He climbed up on top of the car. The men had not noticed him. He thought about what an action hero would do at this point. They would always say some kind of Cheesy line or insult to the bad guy. He thought if he could distract them Ruby could get away. Mark took in a deep breath and yelled “Hey small dicks, over here.” The two men turn their heads around. Mark eyes wish they could not see the man’s junk, It looked like dry raisins.  

“What did you just say to us you little shit.”

“Come over here and say that to us again.”

“Get away from her or I will call the police!”

Mark was not stupid he knew he could not win a fight. He had got hold of Ruby’s phone that she had left in her car when the two men were not looking.” He held out Ruby's phone. While the men were focused on Mark, Ruby kicked her hills into one of the man’s nuts. He fell on the ground in a fetal position. Mark jump down from the car, the other man had chased after him.   

Ruby pulled up her panties and ran to her car. She quickly got in and slammed the door behind. She turned the ignition key and press her foot on the pedal. The other guy quickly made a recovery, but he was too slow. Ruby was already driving down the hill. She Saw Mark running and the mussel bound man behind him. He was closing the gap between them. Ruby slowed her car and opened the door
she yelled “Get in.”

Mark jumped into the car while it was moving at a slow speed and shut the doors. Ruby and Mark watched out the wing mirrors as the man fade from view. They were both shaking and breathing heavily as they drove off into town. Mark wondered if people cannot die then they won’t be scared of committing crimes. He knew this was only going to get worse.
