•••MANDY•••I was on my laptop going the internet posting pics of Quinn but all I got was wishes hoping she was found and some people recalling she's not the first person to be missing in Portland. My phone rang I quickly got up running over to it and picked it. "Hello who is this? " I said hoping it's someone who had an idea on where Quinn was. "Hello Mandy..." the familiar voice made my blood run cold, I held on to the phone holding back my anger. "Don't call this number ever again..." I said about to hang up. "Don't you want to know where Quinn is? " I stopped at first considering the offer. "Why would you be interested in finding Quinn ? Don't you have lives to ruin and hearts to play? " I said with resentment. "Are you still mad at me that things didn't work out ? Don't be, you knew I could never play by the rules, honestly I thought you of all people would be over it..." he cooed at the end. "Why would I be mad ? What we had was fling and nothing more are you going to tell
•••QUINN•••The bowl fell away from my grasp I cough a nervous chuckle the only thing I got out of Seth was a death glare that scared the crap out of me. "You're not Erwin, well my mistake.." I turned round about taking on my heels to escape but a hand pulled on to my right wrist I traced it down to Seth, he held it slightly up. "First a black eye, now this what's next cluts..." he whispered into my ears, I tried shaking away from his grip but I wasn't that strong, I swing my hand to give him another punch in the eye but he caught my left hand tightly gripping on to my left wrist. He held both my hands up, I resulted to wiggling but him having an advantage pushed me against the wall of the corridors, my back collided against the wall and he had my hands up by my side, he leaned closer slowly forcing his weight on me."What should I do with you Quinn? " he asked in a melodious deep voice despite the anger disguised in his voice the only thing I could hear apart from him was the soun
I opened my eyes and quickly laid back against my seat trying to make out what the voice was trying to say. "Haven and Quinn we need you both on standby." Darren informed us, I put on an eye mask and put my hair in a Low ponytail.We both got rid of our seatbelt and got down from the car and head straight towards the mansion where the party was. A few eyes paid attention to the both of us and I bet my money mostly Haven, a few girls walked up to him and he seemed to enjoy the attention. I got bored with Haven flirting and getting almost all their numbers, I walked in the building where the party loud, some people were smoking a few were dancing while a few were drunk. Curious I went up the stairs to see a few doors, I walked slowly deciding which door to open, I heard indistinct chatter bounce back and forth and without thinking I let myself in a room. My back leans against the door while I wait for who ever was talking to leave, my hands searched for light switch, I finally swit
•••MANDY•••"Zoe is on my neck there aren't any clues of Quinn and I keep getting calls from strangers I'm sick of it Calvin and the squad won't do anything about it other than the case is over them I'm worried." My phone plugged between my ear andshoulder while I search my bag bag for cash since I had to take the bus. "I miss her, when I thought she wouldn't leave anymore the universe just had to mess it up." I hissed clearly frustrated. "Everyone misses her Mandy and I know you want her now but who ever took her didn't even put up a ransom or asked for anything they just took her it's strange, I wonder if she's okay." I stopped on my tracks thinking. "They didn't ask for a ransom....oh my God Terry took her." I yelled over the phone even Calvin couldn't compromise what I said. "What? " Calvin echoed. "What if Terry took her or somehow he was able to convince her to get back together with him and make it look like she was kidnapped." I said. "That doesn't make any sense." Calvin
•••QUINN•••'Let's see how you manage to escape this one' my thoughts voiced to me again.Seth sends me a spine chilling glare, Erwin chuckled in the background quietly."Dude are you okay? " Haven asked walking up to him giving me the opportunity to sneak past him slowly to the stairs and hopefully if I make it to my room, Seth pushed Haven away and gripped on to my wrist and holding my hand up in the air.He let out a husky groan. "Where do you think you're going? " the annoyance blended smoothly in his voice gave me chills."Somehow you always end up in this situation ?" his eyes left my gaze and went down to my neck, his eyes squint a bit he pulled me closer towards him tracing his hand on my neck and pushed my hair back to clearly see the same place I got that injury from Terry.The moment he touched it I flinched back and hiss it felt like I was sting by a bee but much worse, Seth's expression of anger softened a bit and if I'm not mistaken I could see a glimpse of curiosity fla
Later that night I went downstairs to get a snack Erwin and Haven were in the kitchen they placed a few cups on the dinning the cups were filled I could smell vodka."What are you guys doing ?" I asked."Getting wasted." they both replied filling the last cup. "There is something called a bar or a pub you know? " I teased. "We know we can't drink outside we could risk our chances of getting our identity exposed it's safe to just get drunk here." they explained."But Maria said you guys used to visit her club a lot before you guys knew each other, there is no way you didn't have a drink or two." I said."We did but we only went there for missions not fun it would be dangerous if we made a mistake and decided to drink and get drunk." Haven explained and I nodded I shared an understanding."Wanna join or lemme guess you don't drink ?" Erwin mocked."I wanna join." I voiced hoping to shock Erwin but unfortunately he didn't give a damn he just only shrugged."So how are you guys drinking ?
•••QUINN•••I sat down looking over at Darren who was going through his tablet, Erwin sat at the other end slouching his entire body on the couch cushion I had to sit down on the floor because of him.Erwin was on his phone scrolling through it while I sat down and wished I wasn't some run away ransom all because of some mafia family.Erwin put his phone away I assume since he pushed his legs down, I felt someone play with my hair, I turned to Erwin and wore a growl. "Cut it out..." I yelled, he chuckled to himself. He didn't let go knowing very well it irritated me, he folded my hair in his grasp putting up above my neck. "Let go of my hair will you? " I yelled which he did and again chuckles to himself. "I like playing with your hair." I cringe at his reply slowly scooting away from his direction."You know you'll look pretty if you had it dyed." Erwin said with a hand up his jaw, he wasn't smiling, his expression alone gave me chills."What's wrong with the color of my hair? " I as
"What are you doing up this late ? " I quickly turned to see Seth, his hair was the hot kind of messy, he dug his hands down his pockets."Can't sleep.." I stated. His brows furrowed, a glimpse of concern shimmer in his eyes."You still have Insomnia? " he asks."No I just don't feel like sleeping it's different I'll get tired soon." I replied he looked away, I did the same and slouched back on the couch.The atmosphere was awkward, I could feel a burning stare on the back of my head I'm sure they belong to him. It's being a week now after the night stone scenario.I guessed it was him that got it for me, it couldn't be Erwin I asked if he did the only reply he gave me was Seth woke him up just to get me the stones.I never really thanked him and he wasn't bothered he still acted the same, cold, aggressive, rude and intimidating but I know I changed somehow or I changed my mindset of him.I heard a lighter spark, I looked over to see Seth with a cigar plugged in between his lips, the
•••SETH•••I traced Nolan to where he was hiding, finally we were in the same room as my men raid his hideout. "Let's end this story shall we? " i said pointing my gun at him, he turned and smile. "So this is it, I'm painted as the bad guy when i basically tried to avenge your father.." he said. "I didn't ask you did i? " i questioned. "Huntress killed your father, I'm not your enemy." Nolan said. "You paid a hitman to kill Huntress after your father died since your father died in the war you always hated Huntress so you killed your own family to take over the Mafia, you're just a bitter soul." i said. "Have the Prestons gone soft, a Preston would avenge their kind.. ""That was forty years ago basically your age, the wars we brought is over, my father ran the Mafia his way i kill to get what i want and protect those who are family...""It's a shame Erwin isn't here to see you he would have enjoyed smashing your skull.." i said firing five bullets until he died on the spot. •••QU
The moment i got to New York, the so called secret hideout was some kind of abandoned factory, i met with Manfred we both pulled each other into a hug until i saw, Haven and Mandy as well. "What are you guys doing here? " i asked "I'm here to make sure you keep to your promise and also Shane could be here i don't want him to be killed along with his pathetic brother.." Mandy said. "Darren is with Maria, i came because i couldn't let you have all the fun.." Haven said as i looked for Seth. "Seth got caught up in something." Haven explain having noticed, i nodded. "What's happening? " I asked "It's like the Cunningham's knew we were here, we thought they were hiding you in here we were planning on attacking but they took down our men, i called Erica to inform her but then i heard your voice but i already sent a few men to bomb from the inside, i can't reach them and tell them to abort.." Manfred said. "Erica was working with them, don't abort, they are holding Erwin when the bomb
•••QUINN•••Me, Mandy and Seth got checked into one of the hotel Maria was in with Darren and Haven, i practically barge in to see Maria covered with a blanket she pushes her head up to see me she wore a sad smile, i went to hug her she didn't react other than hug me tightly. "They took Erwin.." Maria whispered."How's that even possible? " Seth question calmly. "I don't know it all happened so fast." Maria whined. "Why did they take Erwin and leave you behind? " Seth asked. "I don't know I'm lost as you, the first thing i was with Erwin and some brunette haired girl said walked up to me saying she can't find her grandma, the next thing she drags me even when i told her to fuck off and the next thing in know a bullet was fired and the last person i saw was Erwin, then i passed out and before i blacked out he glared at the girl yelled, you... " My heart stopped for a second and continue pounding, the girl in the description sounds familiar. "The next thing i wake up half unconscious t
•••MANDY•••I packed everything i needed, i even went ahead to snatching cash from Terry's room i quickly put everything into my bag, i wasn't going to stay here any longer while they plan to kill Quinn. I finished packing zipping up my backpack, I'm so happy Terry didn't chain me to my bed anymore I've done more than enough to gain his trust and fooling him that he can have his way with me, if possible I'll shoot the bastard but I've been waiting for this day. I sling the back pack over my shoulder going through the map i photoshopped in my mind i heaved a deep breath a little bit concerned everything, i pull out my gun and massaging my bullets in. "Here goes nothing.." i hissed quietly creaking the door open looking for any obstacle, the coast looked clear, i broke out and took to my heels, i heard footsteps getting louder and shot anyone that seemed like a threat, i shot about three guards so far and took one of their guns, i was relieved i made it this far until i saw Terry. "
•••QUINN•••I wore a baseball cap and a nose mask obviously while helping Maria at the cafe there were not that much people only four, three girls and a man who just ordered only plain coffee, i went up to Maria who was reading some kind of magazine. "I'm done delivering orders..." i said itching my neck since i settle for a turtle neck to hide Seth's hickey, the door leading to the garage revealed Erwin who was clad in black, he wore a black nose mask, his eyes looked souless and unexcited as he trail down to our direction, i heard a few mummurs from the girls who were eyeing Erwin, i scoff uninterested elbowing the counter."Hey Erwin, you've got admirers.." Maria tease pointing the teenage girls. "Not interested." Erwin snarled immediately, pinning his elbow too on the counter, recently he's been acting weird or should i say quiet i would love to ask but i don't see that happening without him gloating, he doesn't need my pity."Maybe one of them can help you get over.. ""Shut up.
A few days later i did Movie night with Maria, Haven and Erwin, Darren said he was busy but promised to take out time to hang out with me especially and Seth, he didn't want to come.I was heading back to my room exhausted, i only agreed to do the movie night because i thought I'll be exhausted in the end, well i thought wrong.I paced down the corridor quietly strolling down to my door, quickly i opened it it was dark at first, i switched on the light to see Seth laid on my bed, i balled my hands into fists and rubbed my eyes to make sure it wasn't part of an illusion caused by my exhaustion.I turned thinking of exiting the room the moment i grabbed the door knob he mutters. "Turn around.." i heard him scoff humourifically, i turned pissed he found the current situation amusing."What are you doing in my bed? " i don't know what came over me that made me to even utter that question, a smirk crawled up his lips a mischievous one, i was pissed but i didn't dare take another step."The
•••QUINN•••My eyes slowly opened, i groaned out a last hiss realising i didn't get much sleep again, my head ached a bit thinking how awful it was staying up and thanks to my insomnia i still can't get enough sleep, my eyes blinked twice recalling how i was able to sleep when Seth was around, probably the first time I've was weak and exhausted so i probably can't stay up all night but a few days passed i was able to sleep for some reason.I hissed when a ray of light found it's way to my bed room, i recalled what happened last night and terribly cringed to it, i swear Erwin is going to tease me for life, i tried pushing myself up and then hissed again feeling some kind of ache on my bare skin."Did he probably drug me during those times?" i questioned myself, i shook my head on the thought that i barely ate so the possibility of him drugging me were low, probably i was exhausted and weak from not eating my body decided to preserve my health and sleep.But of all the times i couldn't
"What is this place? " i asked, Maria tagged closely to me. "The guys bought this place a few months ago disguise as a cafe i run while they plan behind the scenes, it's a cover up so they won't get easily tracked, down here is the garage while that door leads to the cafe, when i heard you were coming today i just had to see you, your hair is amazing by the way." Maria complimented.There was another door possibly the door to the rest of the floors, again these guys are freaking rich to think of buying a building.Erwin and Seth were walking to the door until Seth stopped then turned to Maria. "Maria why don't you show Quinn the cafe..." she nodded quickly and took my hand leading me to another door probably to the cafe, she opened the door there were a few customers drinking, a few were on their phones while some were chatting.I quickly hovered my palm against my face to hide my identity, Maria noticed and quickly escort me to the back of the counter to a tiny room, there were provi
•••MOLLY•••I sat down comfortably eating my pancake, Erica and Manfred show up, Manfred looked pissed and stressed probably since they couldn't find that lousy bitch after her disastrous enthronement, it's been a week it's like she just disappeared it's a good thing because that could mean she's out of the way."How are you Molly? " Manfred asked."I'm fine..." i didn't bother to make eye contact with him. "I'm sorry about what happened to Quinn, i hope she sure dies...""What... " Manfred coughed, i looked up totally unfazed realizing the shit i just muttered. "I said i hope she survives..." I chuckled looking at Erica who rolled her eyes at my lame excuse. "Manfred we should really be going, we have work on our hands." Erica said as Manfred nodded."Molly why are you here again? " Manfred asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in school or with your grandma ? " he added."I just decided to stop by before i finally go to school, sorry for the inconvenience..." i teethed as Manfred nodded
