CAMMIE

I felt myself leap in the air towards him again as he tugged the whip hard, I tried to use one hand to release its hold, but had no time to focus as I dodged another of his meaty fists. His groans and moans were like that of a caged animal frustrated at not catching a prey. We went back and forth of him yanking the whip to control me and then swing a fist which I would duck under and run to the opposite side as far as I could go.

Another swipe at my head I barely managed to dodge this time, but instead of running I got low and struck him between the legs, his grunt was heavy, but it did what I needed as his doubled over. Still grasping the whip and myself around it I swung my own body over his back, my legs flaying awkwardly in the air, but the whip came taught around his neck and I pulled back hard.

His grunts soon became gurgles and rasps to catch air back into his lungs. He was strong and I knew I was about to lose this tug of war. I leaned back pulling with all my strength and then suddenly I was stumbling backwards until I fell on my butt. The whip next to me confused how it had happened. I looked back at the large man and noticed him rubbing his neck and coming towards me. Apparently I hadn't actually wrapped the whip around properly and all he had to do was let go of his end for it to slide free.

I clamoured to my feet and rushed him, screaming as I leaped into the air with both feet and smacked into his chest with my heels. It worked, but it also just seemed to keep angering him.

"Geez come on buddy." I gasped while breathing heavily. I got to my feet again and now he charged me. Too slow to move this time I felt myself be easily lifted off my feet as he hoisted me up over his shoulders and bent me over them. My back cracked and oddly gave me some relief, but other than that he had me pinned.

He lifted me up again and I saw what he was about to do. Bring me down onto his knee. My instincts kicked in like a flame to petrol and I grabbed hold of his hand and bit into hit hard. I tasted blood, but it worked as he roared and let me go. I landed on my feet in front of him and stood my ground. Tears seeped from his eyes as he clasped his bloodied hand. I must have looked like a vampire about now. Staring at him like prey with blood at the corners of my mouth. He swung his fist backhandedly at me which I side stepped and collided my own fist against his jaw. I threw everything I had into the punch and felt my own hand break. The searing hot pain shot up through my wrist, but it had also rocked him.

I spun on my heels and delivered a full force round kick to his temple and watched his heavy body fall like a giant to the earth. The ground shook slightly for sure, but it could have just been me feeling dizzy. I wasn't entirely sure.

"Josh?" I said to myself as I gathered my thoughts and ran to the door again. I yanked it open and climbed the steps wiping at the blood on my mouth and even spitting the horrible tangy taste away. I pulled on the next door and was hit by the thick and heavy scenes of people, drink and dancing. My eyes quickly scanned around passed the guests, dancers, DJ, waiters and barmen to see men in black suits with ear pieces dotted around.

To the far left was a staircase leading up to a balcony and second floor. Possibly the VIP section, but also where I would most likely find Josh. I headed for the stairs keeping a low profile, but in this appearance it was no surprise I attracted a few eyes and a hand slapping my behind which jolted me to move quicker.

ZACH

Zach pulled the car up quickly across from the nightclub just as his phone rang.

"Bex," he answered.

"Hey where are you now? I'm outside." she asked as she stepped out into the cool night air and so Zach could actually hear her better.

"I'm out in front of the nightclub now,' he quickly scanned the crowd and spotted the gorgeous ebony woman. 'I got you, coming over now." He returned his phone to his pocket and ran towards her.

"Zach." Bex exclaimed and hugged him. "The girls are here too, I have Liz testing a tracker she put on Cammie."

Zach nodded and saw Macey approach them with a bottle which he slapped out her hand. The look he got didn't match his for fierceness so Macey didn't voice her compliant.

"Guys, guys, guys…' Liz came rushing to them with her homemade pad. "Cammie is inside look." She turned the screen towards them and indeed it showed Cammie's tracking id as within a few meters of them.

Zach pushed his way to the front of the crowd with the girls following suit. Bex being muscular helped pave a path to the front, but they were stopped by two doormen.

"Whoa,' he held out his hand. 'Just where do you think you're going young man?"

"Inside and neither of you are stopping me." Zach threatened which changed the posture of the two men, who were undoubtedly armed beneath their blazer jackets. Bex knew a fight out here was a bad idea, but Zach was in no mood to be stopped. Even if Superman himself was blocking the entrance.

"Don't be stupid here kid, back of the line." The other doorman said stepping forward. Before Zach could react foolishly Macey jumped up. Her smile and flaunting assets easily drawing attention.

"He's with us boys and we have our passes, he's actually supposed to be on the special events list. Go check if you don't believe me." She pouted with sorry looking eyes and prodded the men with delicate touches. They both smiled and the first one checked the list.

"Name?" he asked.

Macey used her skills to scan the list until a name popped up that would suffice. "Ashley Cole." She said and both men looked at her after finding the name a little ways down from the top.

"Cole, Ashley. Exotic dancer?" they questioned and Macey found herself stumped so flashed a smile. Zach's eyes glared at her while Liz and Bex stood awkwardly.

"Yes that's right. His parents wanted a girl, but the name is unisex. Show them your stuff Ash." She giggled and hot Zach with a look to improvise.

Zach looked at the two men and then to the girls. A few seconds passed to the irritation of the two doorman and Zach sighed heavily. Turning his back to them he breathed in heavily and then started to shake it. A few cheers and cat calls erupted from the crowd and Liz slowly turned her phone to record.

A re-upload after a reader pointed out the original format was including the code. Sorry I took so long to get back at it.
