The Saw Is Family ch 17

"Tommy, wait up!" Mindy called. "I can't run that fast!"

Thomas reached behind him and grabbed Mindy's hand pulling her along while holding onto the chainsaw with the other hand.

"Where are we going?" she asked. "Where's that girl going?"

Thomas didn't answer. All he knew was they had to get that girl before she left town and reached civilization. Mindy saw them running closer and closer into the woods. She held Thomas' hand tight. She hated going in there. Now they had to go through the woods in the dark.

"Don't let me go", she whimpered.

He squeezed her hand and pulled her into the tangled trees. They jumped over rotting logs and ran across the small stream.

"Tommy, can you see her?" Mindy asked.

He shook his head. They stopped as they came into a clearing. There stood in front of them was the meat factory.

"Oh my god", Mindy panted. "This place?"

Thomas looked at the factory and then back at Mindy. He was thinking she shouldn't be here. Too many bad memories. He turned off the chainsaw and nudged her back into the direction of the house.

"No, Tommy", Mindy said. "I'm going with you."

She held the sledgehammer tightly in her hands.

"That girl insulted our family and she won't get away with it."

Thomas smiled behind his mask. He pulled her close and kissed her. Mindy found it odd kissing Thomas when he wore another person's lips. She pulled away smiling.

"Ready?"

He nodded and grabbed the door handle.

Mindy covered her nose as she and Thomas entered the meat factory. It still smelled horrible with blood, animals and death lingering in the air. She and Thomas walked in silence through the slaughterhouse. They saw nothing but the chopping tables and meat hooks hanging from the ceiling.

"Tommy, look", Mindy whispered.

They looked at the boss' office. The light was on in there. With their sledgehammer and chainsaw in their hands, the walked up the stairs toward the office. As soon as they reached the top, they saw the girl looking back at them through the window. The girl backed away from their sights.

"Hurry!" Mindy said.

They ran into the office just as the girl left through the back door. They ran through the back door, coming to a long ramp. They walked down the ramp seeing nothing but long rows of pipes. Mindy was unfamiliar with this part of the factory. She looked around as the ramp led them to some kind of animal pen or something. In those pens was nothing but pools of blood and pieces of animal flesh.

"Where do you think she could've gone?" Mindy whispered.

Thomas shrugged. He walked toward the pens and looked into them thinking the girl could be hiding in them. Thomas started up his chainsaw knowing the girl was somewhere in that room. Mindy held up her sledgehammer just in case. The both walked through the room looking in each pen.

"Chrissie!" everyone heard.

Thomas and Mindy turned to find where that voice was coming from. The girl jumped out of the pen with a knife in her hand. She yelled as she swiped it across Thomas' face. He yelled in pain as it came down on his nose.

"Tommy!" Mindy yelled. "You're going to pay for that you bitch!"

She grabbed ahold of the girl before she could strike again. Thomas grabbed the girl and pulled her out of the pen, throwing her down on the floor. He raised his chainsaw and Mindy raised her sledgehammer. Thomas suddenly fell over as the young blonde boy from the house hit him with a meat cleaver.

"Tommy!" Mindy yelled.

She grabbed the boy and held him as Thomas got up and ran his chainsaw through his body.

"You bastard!" she yelled as Thomas raised his chainsaw with the boy's body into the air. "It's no more than you deserve!"

He swung his chainsaw to the side causing the body to fall off.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?" Mindy asked rushing toward Thomas.

She could see after getting cut in the face with a knife that Thomas' nose was gone now. They both turned as they heard the girl running. Thomas took Mindy's hand and pulled her toward the exit.
