The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 108Maddox’s point of viewWhen we get to the van, I gently lay her down as Laila and Adam jump in with us; Jake dives into the driver seat; I look at her lifeless body and whisper,“Don't leave me, baby. You can't leave me.”Laila shouts to Jake, “We have to go now. Her blood pressure is dropping, and her heart is slowing.”Jake floors it as we pull away from the building in a cloud of dust; Adam looks at me as he says, “I’m worried she may have some internal bleeding;” the ride to the hospital only takes a couple of minutes, a couple of minutes that seem to last a lifetime as Adam and Laila try to plug the wound that still pours blood. We pull up at the hospital, Jake opens the door, and I take off running as fast as possible with Ruby in my arms.“Help someone; please help her”, I cry out. Dr Ian turns his head to see what the commotion is. “Ruby?... What happened, Maddox?”He says as he runs towards us, “She has been stabbed, and we can'

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 109Maddox’s point of viewMy poor baby's face is so swollen I can hardly recognise her, and she's hooked up to multiple machines and wires; I stand at the door for a second willing my feet to move, as Honey says,“I know it's hard, Maddox, but I promise you, all things considered, she's doing well; all this equipment is just to make our job easier.” She then takes my arm and guides me inside before pushing me into a chair next to Rubys' bed.I reach out my hand as I say, “Can I touch her?” afraid to cause her any more pain; Honey smiles and replies, “Of course, you can, Maddox, just be careful of the wires. Try talking to her. Some people say they can remember things when they wake up. I will leave you with her; just buzz me if you need anything. I’ll be here for a while yet.”I nod, “I will, thanks, honey” She leaves the room, and I put my hand over Ruby and whisper, “I’m so sorry, baby; I should have got to you sooner.”I spend the next few

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 110Maddox’s point of viewIt takes a lot of effort to drag myself away from Ruby’s bed; if only I could split myself in two, I laugh. Nope, make that three. I have never had anyone dependent on me before, apart from Laila, but it's very rare she needs me, but now I have Ruby and Ysabel plus an extra special little bonus that I still haven't gotten my head around.Wow, I’m going to be a Daddy! Yeah, I think that will take a while to sink in.When I get to the bunker, I find Ysabel in the day room with Erin; she looks up as I open the door before throwing herself in my arms, as she says,“Maddox..your back” I scoop her into my arms, and we hold each other tight.“Where’s Ruby?” she says as I take a seat, pulling her down with me before I reply, “She’s still at the hospital, she's been injured, but they think she's going to be just fine.”Ysabel nods, “Can I go and see her, Maddox?” She asks, and I reply, “As soon as she wakes up, baby.”She turn

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 111Ruby’s point of viewI feel as though I’m in a dream, and through the haze, I can hear Maddox’s voice talking to me, “Wake up, baby, please wake up.”Why can't I open my eyes? I try to move, but the pain is too much; someone is holding my hand; I know it’s Maddox; I can sense him being here, and I try to squeeze his hand.He stops talking briefly before whispering, “Oh, Ruby, If you know you're doing that, please squeeze my hand again, baby.”Encouraged by his voice, I squeeze as hard as I can; I hear more people around me as Maddox says,“Open your eyes, baby; let me see those beautiful eyes.”I try so hard to open them, but the room is so bright it hurts my eyes, “Too bright”, I mutter. God, why is my mouth so dry...The light dim, and I force my eyes to open. Maddox is looking at me, and he cries as he whispers,“Ruby, thank God you’re okay.”I notice Ian Dr Ian standing at the bottom of the bed. He smiles as he says, “Welcome back, Ruby

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 113Ben’s point of viewI’m standing outside the door beside Jake, waiting for the medic to check her over when I hear her scream; I burst back into the room, probably leaving Jake talking to himself in the hallway.“Hey, it’s okay... It’s okay....” I call out, where she’s curled into a ball, sitting as far into the corner as she can get as she whispers, “No drugs... No more drugs.I turn to the medic and ask, “What’s going on?”“I wanted to giver her some pain relief”, She replies,“No,” the woman says before running into my arms I hold her tight as I whisper quietly,“Hey, it’s okay, sweetie, no drugs if that’s what you want” She clings onto me as she nods her head and says, “No…More…Drugs…”The medic sighs, “Okay, no drugs it is then; how about we get you into the chair and get you out of here” She opens up a chair, and she pulls the straps to the side, and the woman refuses to let go of me as she says, “No…No straps…No” Jesus, what kind of h

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 114Mishka’s point of viewI kneel on the floor at his feet, I've never seen anyone look so mortified before, and I’m worried that I've done something wrong. Did I look up? Did I speak…No, I’m sure I never. I did everything exactly as I was trained to do.He gently places the blanket back over me as he kneels on the floor facing me. As he takes my chin in his hand, making me look him in the eyes as he says,“Please, Mishka, don't call me master; my name is Ben…call me Ben. Whatever you've been through, it's over now. I promise you, Mishka, that you will never have to kneel at anyone's feet again. Do you understand me?”I nod as he holds his hand out to me, and I take his hand as he helps me up and back onto the bed. I see the shocked look on the Doctors face as he watches us both.I haven't always been like this. I was taken as a teenager and sold to a monster. At first, I fought. I fought with everything I had and refused to do all the sick thing

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 115Ben’s point of viewWhen we arrive at my apartment, I open the door and let us both in, Finding it strange that she won't walk in front of me; she always walks a step behind. Even when I stand and hold the door open, she waits for me to go first, then follows behind. Her eyes are always looking down, and she hardly speaks.I find it so frustrating, but I know it's something that we will both have to work on, but not today, as today I just want to make her feel at home.She stands in the living room, with her head to the floor as I say, “I’ll go and grab you something comfy to wear. I smile as I look at her. The nurses at the hospital gave us some scrubs, and although she looks bloody adorable in them, they don't look the least bit comfortable.“Thanks”, she whispers, still without lifting her head…I head off to my bedroom, leaving Mishka in the living room. I told her to make herself comfortable, but I know for a fact when I walk back in ther

If you can remember, Maddog married Ruby a few months after she was released from the hospital, not only because he loved her more than anything in the world or because he knew he had found the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, or because being in a stable marriage would help speed up the adoption process for Ysabel and not because she was carrying his child, but simply because Maddox being Maddox, just couldn't wait another minute longer, and he wanted to show the world that Ruby and Ysabel and the new baby were his. Edward Hall still remains in a wheelchair; three months later, the family welcomes their new baby girl into the fold Baby Eleanor and just a few weeks later, they officially adopted Ysabel.

I stand frozen on the spot as she laughs,“I could make some money off this one…I wonder how much my clients would pay to fuck two pretty sisters?”I watch Ben’s face turn red with anger as he stands with his hands in the air. Madame Cara’s men are pointing their guns at Ben and his team.She chuckles, pulling me back by my hair as she says,“Well, boys, I’d like to say it’s been a pleasure doing business with you, but that would be a lie. You can't take me down.

I made her promise me that she would stay in the van with the doors locked until we come out.I kiss her sweetly on her lips before I pull my balaclava down over my face.“I love you, baby,” I say before heading off into the night alongside the rest of my team; Bear is going in through the front door. Thanks to Adam, we know there are always two guards at the gate; I nod to Bear before our teams split up. Bear takes his side, and I lead mine around to the back of the house. Click throws the rope ladder over the railings before we all climb over; checking my watch, Bear should have taken the gate by now.

He knows how much Alyona means to me, and I know that man would do anything to make me happy. It was such a relief when Jake asked Bear to come along with his team. I’m so glad Ben is not going into that house alone.It feels like forever until I finally hear the key turn in the lock; I turn to look at the door as I whisper,“Thank you, God.” before throwing myself in Ben’s arms, “Thank god you are okay; I’ve been so worried about you”.He laughs as he replies, “Baby, this is what I do every day; I’m fine.”Maybe but that still does not stop me from worrying; this man has become such a massive part of my life that I will always worry.“Did you see Alyona?” I ask excitedly,“Yes,” He says wit
