Ryan’s POV
I didn’t like the idea of us just watching Charlotte on the night of the party, my gut was telling me that Hannah was going to do something to Jack and upset Charlotte. I just could not figure out what, Jack is a smart man, and he would not let anyone fool him. I also know that he would never do anything to hurt Charlotte, even if it meant that we didn’t get to Phillip. He cares about her too much to hurt her.
Grant left me at the door as he went up to update Jack on the Doc and Jane. That was another thing that did not sit right with me. We should be focusing on Charlotte and Phillip, not taking in strays.
It did not take Grant long to come back and start to update me on what happened last night. I was kind of glad that Jane was now on her own. Doc could be useful, Jane would just be an inconvenience. Just as Grant was about to leave Lance and Warren came out, I looked behind them shocked that I could not see Jack or Charlotte &ldqu

Grant’s POVI arrived back at the office before Warren and Lance, yes that meant that my burger would not be sitting around on the table getting cold. Poor Ryan looked bored shitless standing on the door. I felt kind of bad for him. Out of the four of us he had the worst job, but on the bright side he got to make friends with Charlotte before the rest of us.Once Warren and Lance arrived Ryan and I followed them up to the office, we decided we would let them go first, just in case it was not safe to enter yet. We arrived as Jack and Charlotte were talking about hot ones and muscle. I was confused at first until Ryan put himself in the hot category. I never thought of myself as hot or muscle, I was the brains of this operation. Charlotte on the other hand thought that I was hot. I suppose that I should take that as I complement. I sat bad enjoying my burger as the boys well mainly Warren got pissed about being classed as muscle. It was stupid really as him and Lan

Jack’s POVAfter Charlotte left, I turned to Warren “Can you stop sulking now?”“Only if I get to hurt someone” He grinned“Oh, don’t worry, we are going to have much more fun than the others” I chuckled.“When are we going to get him?”“He starts at 5, but I want to give him chance to grab some product so that I can catch him red handed”“How are you going to do that?”“I have a guard on duty who is going to keep his eye on him, once he is seen taking some product we swoop in” I grinned.“Nice to know you have it all planned out, but what do we do till then?”“Well, I was a bit distracted this morning, so I have work to catch up on” I chuckled thinking about Charlotte wearing that hot as hell dress. I would have to make sure that she dresses like that more often. It will certainly make my workday more

Phillip’s POVThe drops stung like a bitch “You will need to keep your eyes closed for the first hour. I will put the bandages on to prevent you opening them. After the hour is up, I will come back and remove the bandages, you will not see an improvement straight away though”“How long?”“After two or 3 doses you should start to see a bit better, after a week your eyesight should be back to normal”“How long till I can see well enough to get out of here?”“As long as you do not drive, you should be able to leave on Sunday morning”“Doc I am not even sure what day we are on now” I grunted.“Friday night Sir”“Good” I grinned, I could live with that. If I leave here on Sunday morning, hopefully I can have Jane and the wife by Sunday night. They can then keep me company until I get my Charlotte back.The Doc started to dres

Jack’s POVI called out the number plates of three cars including the Honda. I was shocked when the culprit didn’t step forward. I had been watching and saw him nod at someone who stepped forward in his place.“Please be aware that I have the license images that belong to the owners of each car” I growled “I will not tolerate people trying to play me” I glanced around the room and noticed that he had still not stepped forward. That was fine “Guards make sure no one leaves this room until I am finished” I turned around and left the room with the three workers. “Lance go with them and you” I pointed at the guard who had been helping me “Go and help him”“Yes sir” He nodded as he walked off with Lance. I waited until they had gone before I spoke to Warren “I need you to make sure no one leaves this room, if they do warn them to go back. If they keep coming, then shoot them&rdq

Grant’s POVI opened my camera and started to check up on the Doc, he seemed relaxed watching the rugby on TV and having a beer and eating a frozen pizza. I went thought the old footage and he was just relaxing and seemed to be enjoying him time on his own. I guess after all he had been though he needed some time out to just chill. I was just about to turn off my laptop and include myself in the conversation the others were having when Jack rang me.“I need you to run the plates and get a picture of the licence for a red Honda civic licence HHD158” He started talking without even bothering to say hello.“Hi Jack, how are you” I grumbled as I started to look up the information for him.“Wanting solid proof before I go inside” He grumbled back.“Licence has been sent to your phone” I told him.“Thank you, can you make sure you get dinner for you guys. I don’t want Charlotte goin

Jack’s POVWe arrived home and Warren opened the boot and we all had to step back and cover our noses. The guys had pissed and shit himself.“That’s disgusting” Lance groaned as he helped Warren pull him out.“Please, I am sorry” The guy begged.“Mate you just soiled my car, that alone warrants punishment” I growled as I waved over one of my other guards. “Can you get one of the juniors to clean this” I gagged motioning to the boot.The poor guard turned a bit green as he nodded as he and walked away.“Get him to the cell and hosed down” I ordered, he fucking stinks.“God I am going to need to scrub myself clean after this” Lance gagged “In all the years I have been doing this sort of work, not once has someone pissed and shit themselves because they were locked in a boot”“Obviously he only knows how to act tough when really h

Charlotte’s POVIt was nice to hang out with Reece again and get more work done to my tattoos, but my mind kept going back to what Jack was up to. Was he using the dungeon under the house? Ryan was a good distraction and he hardly shut up. He was trying to buy a suit online for the work party while Grant and Reece were telling him that was a bad idea and he needed to go in and try one on. I chuckled as I listened to them, I agreed with Grant and Reece. He was too bulky to not go and try it on first.“You need to listen to the guys” I told him.“Argh, fine” He groaned “Will you at least come shopping with me then? Give me a girl’s opinion” “As if you even need to ask” I told him.“How are you coping?” Reece asked me.“Fine, why what time is it?”“Still early” He glanced at his watch “9”“Still, plenty of

Jack’s POVBy the time we were finished with Jessie for the night, he was missing half a thumb, 1 hand, 1 leg, 1 ear and 1 testicle. He kept drifting in and out of conciseness due to the blood loss. I was not ready for him to die on me yet, so I called in a Doc I had on the payroll. I checked the time and started to panic when I saw it was midnight. I did not want Charlotte to see me before I got cleaned up. My Doc arrived and I told him to patch Jessie up so that he did not die overnight. Once Charlotte went back to see Reece I would come back down here. I might even let Warren and Lance go with her this time so that Ryan and Grant could have some fun.I watched the doc dress Jessies wounds while casting me worried looks “Don’t worry Doc, unless you steal from me and lie to me, I won’t let this happen to you”“He stole from you?”“Yes, and then tried to get someone else to take the fall by threatening to hu
