"Did u see anything strange? Overhear any questionable conversations?” The Detective asked.
He looked at him and saw that he was serious. He would not tell him about having to point a gun in Alvarez’s face. So he lied.
“Mr. King never did anything in my presence. I was assigned to Mrs. King. I looked out for her and escorted her to different places. That night, I helped Mrs. Black and Mrs.King escape. Mrs. King no longer felt safe in her home or in the state. So she had me take her to a safe place. You found us. Tell me detective, what did she do when you drove her to the airport back to that monster?” He clenched his jaw, already knowing the answer.
“She cried.” He furnished.
It all dawned on him then. She wasn’t quiet bec
“Why the hell not?” Nick asked. Who would stop him?“Because there are over a hundred guests and you would be compromising her safety as well as the safety of the guests. You have to wait until after this party.” There was a long pause. “I will help you. That is, if you let me.” The Detective promised.Nick was wary to say the least.“I still need to see her.” He sounded defeated.“I think I can arrange that.” Pete agreed.“You know, I’ve been talking to a Detective and he said he could help us if we have evidence.”
He was so joyous at the thought.No more secrets. No more hiding his love for her.“Yes, speaking of starting our lives together there is something I have been meaning to tell you about. When I was with Bradley I became ill and fainted. He had the doctor take a look and she says I’m pregnant. It’s your baby Nick.”He looked like he was in shock.“You’re pregnant? I can’t believe it.”She stood up then and he wrapped his left arm around her waist and put his right hand on her abdomen.She smiled at the tender gesture. Everything felt right in the world. She didn’t know for how long. It felt as if she had
That Night :11:15 p.m.The sun had gone down hours ago. Elayna was on her eighth news channel outlet but still, there was no word about her escape last night. Something was wrong. Whatever it was, she hoped she was strong enough to endure. She knew Nick would be there by her side protecting her and their baby. She put her hand to her abdomen and said a silent prayer of protection for her child. Just when she finished Nick came into the living room. He was dressed similarly to the night she had left her husband’s home.“Where are you going?” She asked. A slight smile on her face.“I’m going to go meet detective Lawrence. I shouldn’t be long, an hour tops.”She wrapped her arms around herself.
She hadn’t realized the explosion had knocked her out until she opened her eyes. She could hear nothing but a loud humming noise in her ears. She looked around through the dust and the smoke area. Something warm and sticky was running down the center of her forehead. She touched the liquid and saw it was blood. She wiped it on her jeans. She looked around frantically searching for Nick and Pete. She saw black cars pulling up in the distance. She still couldn’t hear, only the loud humming noise inside of her ears. She tried to stand up but was unable to, so she crawled over to Nick’s motionless body. Fear gripped her. She shook him frantically, and called his name.“Nick!”It was no use. His bloody face was motionless.She cried
That infuriated him and he tried to get out of the chair.“Fuck you !” He shouted, and was punched, this time in the face.Mr. King was finished with him, for now. He walked over to another male figure that was hanging from a metal hook tied up in the next chair. His vision was blurry but he didn’t need it. He knew it was pete.“You fucking traitor! I hope it was worth it !” he yelled.His goons moved quickly and lowered the hook that he dangled from. and latched his rope tied wrists on to it. His shirt was ripped open. He was covered in soot, ash, dirt and blood.Nick’s vision improved, but not by much and watched as Bradley pulled out a blade. It gleamed in the light.&nb
Elayna opened her eyes and within seconds realized she was back in her home in her husband’s bed. Had it all been a dream? She asked herself. She was about to sit up when she felt something stinging her left arm. She looked around then.She had been wrong. She was not in Bradley’s room but her own. She had an I.V. in her left hand. Her room looked like a hospital room. There were various medical machines and beeping noises. She felt the back of her head throbbing and touched it. It was wrapped in gauze. The sunlight poured into the room.She remembered the explosion and hitting her head. She also remembered who had caused it all. Last night had been real, she thought. She tried to get out bed once more and noticed she was handcuffed to the bed. She heard Bradley’s voice then. He was standing by the window looking out on their prope
Nick could no longer see.Both of his eyes were swollen shut.Pete had been stripped down to his underwear, sliced and tortured by cuts and salt.Nick’s hand felt as if it were going to burst open for the pressure at any moment. The pain was excruciating. They were both in pretty bad shape. Both of them were dying of thirst . They were only given salt water to drink, which they didn’t. Nick had been waiting for an opening to get free, or for one of the goons to make a mistake so he could reap the benefits of that and dive something, but it ever happened.After hours of torture they were both put in makeshift cages. Nick was sitting in the corner of his protectively holding his hand. Pete hadn’t moved si
She placed it in her hands then gave her a small clutch that matched her belt. She opened it and put the phone inside of it making sure to hit the record button before doing so.“Thank you. If I wasn’t so sore I would hug you. I need you to stay safe Rosa, understand?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.“After dinner tonight I need you to leave. Alright?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.When she did the door opened and one of the goons she remembered from last night came into her room.“Mr. King sent me.” He grumbled.She let go of Rosa’s hand, but not before givi
