Ryan’s POV
I was so stoked when Charlotte chose the black gun with diamonds as her first choice. I now knew that she would love the knife that I bought her. I was hoping that Grant would be cool with us going to pick it up after we have finished with Fred. I smiled at Charlotte started to warm up to Fred and talk to him more. He can be scary to people who do not know him, he is twice the size of me and I am not a small guy. After Charlotte chose the three guns that she liked we thanked Fred and left.
I opened the door for Charlotte who was grinning from ear to ear as she climbed in. “Fred is so lovely” She giggled.
“I know, he is not what you would expect when you look at him aye”
“Not at all” she laughed “I like him though”
“How about we go and pick up a gift I bought you?”
She grinned “Only if we have time”
“We have time” Grant chuckled as he c

Charlotte’s POVAfter we left Fred’s place, we headed off to pick up my other present. I was shocked when we actually pulled up outside a shop this time. Ryan opened my door for me and led me to the entrance. A man came to greet us as soon as we were through the door. He greeted us all and then started to lead us out the back of his shop. I had to hold in my gasp as we walked past glass cages with people inside. One of the had a woman naked swinging on a swing playing with herself. Another had two men together going at it, another had a man and a woman doing 69. Then you had other rooms with men and women just stood around in lingerie. What was this place? Do Jack and the men come here to blow off some steam? I tried to keep my head down and avoid eye contact the rest of the way. Finally, we reached an office, and the man told us to take a seat on the couch.“Are you ok dear?” The man asked me.“Yep” I told him while looking a

Jack’s POVRyan text me as soon as they were heading back to the office, and I started to watch the cameras. As soon as I started watching I could tell that the women were still gossiping even after I told them to stop this morning. I knew when Grant pulled up as a couple of the women ran over to the window to have a look and report back to the others. I was getting more and more pissed off at them, then Charlotte walked into the office. I have no idea what was said, but her face dropped, and she said something to Ryan. What ever she said must have pissed him off as he shoulders tensed and he turned to face the women and I could hear his raised voice even up in my office. He even showed them the handle of his gun, what ever was said really pissed him off. I will have to ask him what it was.As soon as Charlotte entered the office I walked over and pulled her into my arms. I missed her so much “God, I missed you” I groaned in her ear “Did you hav

Grant’s POVAfter I dropped Charlotte and Ryan off at the office I headed home. I placed the guns and the knife on the kitchen table so that Charlotte could show Jack when they got home. I was just about to make myself some lunch when Jack rang. I looked at my phone in shock, I thought he would be too busy kissing and cuddling Charlotte to worry about me.He did not even wait for me to say hello before he started talking “Phillip was just here”“Shit, I have not listened to him or watched the cameras at all today. I will go do some digging and find out what he is up to”“Keep me posted, all he did was wave. I don’t trust it”“I will let you know what I find out”He hung up and I went straight to my room to start going though what him and Zac were talking about this morning. I also sent Zac a message hoping he might be able to shed some light for me.Me – Want to tell me

She looked like she was in a coma”“They fooled us all boss, I had no idea that doc and her were together”“And now they have fucking got away. Fuck this I need to do something to lift my spirits” I stood up and walked to the door.“What do you have planned Sir?”“Let’s do a drive by Jack Kings office shall we?

Charlotte’s POVI was freaked out, why would Phillip turn up all of a sudden? It made me realise that the men were right, and I did need to know how to defend myself. I thought they were just being crazy, I was so wrong. I guess they knew more about what kind of man Phillip was then I did.Since Phillip showed up, we ended up getting fast food and heading back to the house. As soon as we got back Jack left me in the kitchen with Warren, Lance and Ryan while he went to find Grant. As soon as he left, I looked at the table and noticed that Grant had placed my new guns and knife there. I sat down and placed my new toys down on the table in front of me. The boys started to dish out the food while I sat looking at how shiny my toys were. The diamonds twinkled so pretty under the light, as soon as Jack came out with Grant, I pulled him over.“Look at my pretty new toys” I shoved the boxes into his lap.“Who knew that you would get so exc

Jack’s POVI was so pissed, Charlotte was scared to let me touch her because she was worried about what the guys would say. I hated it when she was trying to get away from me, I wanted her to always feel comfortable in my arms. I knew that I should not have shouted at Lance, I probably made Charlotte feel even more embarrassed. I groaned as I climbed into the back of the car and put my head in my hands. Suddenly the door opened, and Charlotte climbed in next to me.“I am so sorry, I should not have gone off that like that”“Its ok” She sighed as she put on her seatbelt.After a few seconds of her refusing to look at me I could not take it anymore. I put my hand on her face and turned it to face me. “It’s not ok, I know I embarrassed you even more”“Please can we just leave it?”I sighed as I let go of her face just as the others came out. The drive back to the office was silent with

Grant’s POVI arrived at the train station just as the train Doc and Jane were on pulled up. I watched from a distance as they slowly disembarked the train and looked around to make sure that they were not bee followed. I smirked as they started to walk towards me without even noticing me yet. I knew that Jane would have no clue who I was, but the Doc would. I leaned against my truck watching them get closer and closer, they were just about to walk past when the Doc stopped and noticed me. I smirked at the look of fear on his face.“Don’t look so scared Doc, believe it or not I am actually here to help you”“How did you find us?”“Easy, I also know that Phillip has also hired a hacker to help him find you. So, the question is who would you rather have me or him?”“What do you want with us?”“Information, I am sure you know that we have Charlotte in are care”&ldqu

Ryan’s POVMy god the ride back to the office was painful. I was glad when the others all went upstairs and left me guarding the door. As soon as they retreated upstairs the gossip started.“Did you see him grab her arse”“I know, how the hell did she get him?”“I know right, she is so bla”“She is actually quite amazing once you get to know her” I called out.“Be careful he might shoot us”“I would enjoy it too” I laughed.“You are fucking crazy”“Yep, I am a crazy guy with a gun, so if I was you guys, I would shut the fuck up aye”The office went silent, and I grinned to myself.
