Chapter 398 - Sarah's birthday celebration (7)

JoAnna, Jeff, Sophia and Felix reached the small shed and observed the scene of Sarah holding Aiden's head in her lap. He looked like he was sleeping.

Klark sisters were a bit further away, unconscious. Clara's legs were in a sorry state, puddle of blood below them. Andrea seemed with no injuries, other than her swollen right hand.

Sarah looked up and her eyes met JoAnna's. "He is like this for more than an hour. Why is he not waking up?" Her voice was breaking, and her eyes showed desperation.

JoAnna hurried next to them and started a quick check up on Aiden, starting with vitals. "How did he end up like this?"

Jeff was right behind JoAnna. He placed the medicine bag next to her and observed her work on his brother.

Sarah shook her head helplessly. "I don't know. He was like this when I found him."

"How can two girls bring him down?" Jeff frowned. He was outraged. If those two were not passed out, he would give them a piece of his mind.

"It was not them." Sarah remembered. "Dodson brothers. There is three of them. I believe they ambushed Aiden."

"Three of them?" Sophia was surprised. She heard Mr. Joe clearly say that it's Dodson twins, and there was no mention of another sibling.

"Who are they? Are they still at the party?" Jeff was ready to go and get some justice for his brother.

"I tied them up. Can you go and get them? They should be awake by now, and maybe we get some answers." Sarah was coming out of her daze, realizing that this is not over.

"You go also." JoAnna told Sarah.

Sarah didn't want to leave Aiden's side.

"Go and show them the where Dodson brothers are." JoAnna urged Sarah. "By the time you are back, I will finish the checkup."

Sarah reluctantly left.

JoAnna saw that Sophia didn't approve that Sarah left. "She should be next to him." Sophia told JoAnna while looking at Aiden.

"She needs to keep busy." JoAnna explained. "Staying here is just making her more depressed, and she can't help anyway."

…

When Sarah returned, she saw that Aiden was waking up.

She rushed by his side and reached just in time when he opened his eyes.

Aiden looked around him, struggling to focus his eyes. He could tell that Sarah is next to him, and he relaxed. "What happened?" His hand reached to the back of his neck where ice pack was placed.

"You got me worried. That's what happened." Sarah pouted. She was relieved that he is awake.

Aiden remembered. "Those twins! They tricked me. They said horrible things about you, baby, and I lost it." He looked at her apologetically. "I'm sorry, I was careless."

"Triplets. It seems you missed one." Sophia added.

At that time Jeff and Felix pushed three Dodson brothers inside the shed. Their legs were untied, so they stumbled in, settling in the far-left corner. Now the shed was getting full.

Aiden was staring at three brothers. Thinking if he is seeing things. 'There is three of them? Oh, Sophia did say triplets just now…'

"What are we going to do with them?" Felix asked while looking at Dodson brothers.

"I want to find out what happened." Sarah turned to triplets. "Speak! You said you tied him up! But it seems you did more... which one hurt him?"

Dylan's body shook uncontrollably when he remembered the pain he experienced and how his brothers just fell on the ground without any warning. He was not able to see what happened, but he knows that Sarah did something.

Sarah asked JoAnna to give some anesthetic to Klark sisters and to wake them up.

Sarah's eyes landed on Dylan. "Speak, Dumbo! Or I will do much worse than what you fear of right now."

It didn't take much for Dylan to start talking. He explained how Klark sisters told them that Sarah loves playing pinball, and how they instigated few others to cause commotion at the party, which will make Sarah go and investigate. During that time, they provoked Aiden and got him outside. And then they ambushed him. "Plan was that we bring him here and tie him up."

While he talked, Andrea woke up. She was happy that her hand didn't ache anymore but horrified when she realized that her right palm is like jelly, as if no bones existed there. She was staring at her palm when Dylan's voice pulled her out of her daze. "We didn't do anything else. After we got him here, we were done! It was all those two!" He was pointing at Andrea.

Andrea was furious. "Liar! You did all that just so that you can get your hands on Sarah! You said that you will cooperate if you can get at least one of Hill sisters!"

"She is lying!" David screamed while his eyes darted to Aiden whose face was twisting from anger.

"Lying?" Andrea fumed. "Who was talking with no end how three of you like to share a girl? And the younger the better??! I remember your discussions about Hill sisters and how you would not mind some three-on-three excitement? You even got Andrew to bring the aphrodisiac to ensure they stay willing for the whole night!"

"Bitch! Shut your mouth!" Derek bellowed at Andrea. "There was no such thing! You are the one who organized all this just so that you can break these two apart! Why? Because he rejected you!"

By this time, Clara woke up as well, and joined the yelling competition during which they were pulling each other deeper into the mud.

Aiden wanted to stand up, but Sarah held him back. "Sit for a bit longer. They are not going anywhere."

"What are we going to do with them?" Sophia asked. Her expression was not good. The more she heard about what Dodson brothers had in mind, the more sickening it sounded.

"We can do whatever we want. This is far away from any house. They can scream until they lose their voices, no one will hear them... and the night is still young." Sarah smiled and looked toward five people who at this point stopped their argument and were intently listening to Sarah and Sophia.

Sarah stood up and faced them. "Clara and Andrea wanted to hurt me and Aiden. I'm almost done venting my anger at them. Dodson triplets hurt Aiden and had intentions toward all three of us. We should all decide how to get our justice." Dodson brothers shrunk in the corner while listening to Sarah's cold voice. They stared at three sisters who stood next to each other and glared back at them with icy expressions.

"The rules are simple." Sarah's words sounded like a commandment that can't be refused. "Think about what they would do to us. Would they show any mercy? At what point would they stop? If we let them go easily, will they come back at us as soon as they get the chance? What will take for them to understand that they should not mess with Hill sisters?"

Dodson brothers felt that silence in the shed was suffocating, but they didn't dare make a sound. Clara and Andrea tried to conceal their presence hoping that all this will end soon, and they can go home.

'Go home!', Clara thought and then looked at her legs. Seeing bones sticking out, she remembered her sorry state and realized that she can't walk. She started sobbing.

Andrea moved her right arm, trying to block Clara's mouth from making noise, but she saw her droopy hand and froze. Few seconds later, she was sobbing with Clara.

Sarah faced JoAnna and Sophia. "I know that you two are not... violent, so you are welcome to step back or leave. No one will blame you."

JoAnna and Sophia didn't move.

"We are in this together." Sophia gave a small smile to Sarah.

JoAnna nodded in confirmation.

Felix stood behind Sophia. "Ma chérie, you should not exert yourself too much. Tell me what you want, and I will do it for you."

Jeff was behind JoAnna. He placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed back of her head. "Your hands are for healing. Allow me to get justice for you."

Seeing two men being chivalrous, Aiden felt that he is falling behind. He was about to stand up, when Sarah's stern voice stopped him. "You sit! I didn't tell you it's OK to move around!" Aiden submitted and lowered his head.
