Subject: Not Without Risk (NEW FIC!!!) Part 2

Not Without Risk
by Bradygirl

Recap from Part 1:
- Mike came upon some dangerous men after his car broke down miles from Salem.
- Eve Donovan parading herself as Eve Noble secured a place in Basic Black to spy on John, but does Brady have her number?
- Carrie considers reminding Austin of Sami's past misdeeds against him.
- Greta hits what she thinks is an animal, but upon closer inspection discovers it is a man!


Part 2

She could hardly believe what she was seeing. That couldn't be a man. She couldn't have possibly hit a human being!

Greta von Amburg aimed the flashlight's dim beam closer to where the outline of the man had been. She had seen him plain as day when the lightening flashed, hadn't she? Maybe she was losing her mind and the image of the man was just that... an image. The inky darkness consumed her confidence as well as the remaining light.

"Hello?" she sputtered. "Is anyone there?" Her fear factor jumped up a few notches in the total darkness. She didn't know why she was scared, maybe it was the night and the frightening images it invokes, but she was certain there was more than thunder and lightening to greet here out here.

Greta aimed the light where she had seen the man once more, but there was nothing more than damp leaves and wet earth to greet her.

"Are you trying to scare me?" she asked. "Because it's working." She paused to listen. "Anyone there?"

The sound of the environment around her was loud, noisy. Water dripped down her face and into her eyes. She attempted to wipe away the moisture but more replaced it.

A dark shadow behind her clasped a hand over her mouth and pulled her to the ground. She was so taken by surprise the flashlight clattered to the ground dousing the only illumination on the stretch of abandoned highway. In the beak darkness, Greta knew fear.

***

The past is a dangerous thing.

Carrie had greeted many people arriving for Sami's wedding. One person she didn't see was lying in wait, hiding in the shadows, watching and waiting for her opportunity.

Craig Wesley approaced Carrie. He still had that air of smug self-confidence. He came up from behind and looked her over briefly. She hadn't seen him yet, but Craig had definitely noticed her. Ali McIntyre watched as Craig admired Carrie from afar. She had known all along that Craig had a certain affection for Mike's girlfriend, well, wife, for now. But she promised herself to change that fact very soon. One theory confirmed. On to step two.

I hope you don't mind the abreviated episode this time. If you find this at all interesting, let me know and I will continue. -- Bradygirl
