The Swift Security Series

Ben

Chapter 121

Ben’s point of view

The drive back to the bunker is a painful and sombre one. Laila has managed to get my nose to stop bleeding, but I’m not going to lie; my ribs hurt like a bitch; Laila gives my hand a little squeeze as she asks me, “Are you doing okay?”

I nod and reply, “Yeah…I’ll live.”

“I can give you some pain meds?” she says, and I shake my head as I say, “No...I’m good.”

I want to have a clear head. I have to find Mishka, and I know what that monster is capable of; I need to know that she’s okay.

The few minute's drive to the bunker seems to last a lifetime, but we finally pull into the underground parking. Zane and Maddox help me out of the car before we make our way to the medical room.

Adam is already waiting for us, and Laila looks at him as she says, I’ll stitch his head while you check him over, Adam” He nods, and Laila turns back to me, “I need to put a couple of stitches in your head, Ben…I’m just going to numb it first.”

    The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 121Mishka’s point of viewThankfully I haven't seen Dinitri again since our encounter this morning, and I am grateful for the painkillers that Mrs Harris gave me; whatever they were, they knocked me out for most of the day, and I’m now awake lying in the cage, not daring to get out even though I know the cage door has been left unlocked,A few minutes later, the bedroom door opens, and Mrs Harris walks through it as she navigates a tray in her arms laden with food.I look at her and say, “I thought you would have gone home by now, Mrs Harris?”She smiles at me as she replies, “ I wanted to check on you before I leave. Besides, it’s lonely while Frank is in the hospital. I brought you some food Mishka; you need to eat and keep your strength up, honey.”I look towards the door and whisper, “Where is he?”“He’s been out for most of the day, and he said not to expect him back until late tonight. I came in before, but you were still sleeping; I just w

    The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 123Ben’s point of viewJake has already brought three extra teams in, and we are all currently sitting around the large table in the meeting room, listening to Jake as he says,“So now we know who we are dealing with. Does anyone have any ideas on how we handle this one?”I sigh as I say, “All I know is that when I get my hands on that sick fucker I’m going to kill him for everything that he's done to Mishka”, Meaning every word of it when Mishka was kneeling naked at my feet it almost broke me to see how broken she was what kind of man treats a woman like that?Adam lifts his head as he says, “I've already started to hack into all of his security cameras from the companies associated with him around this area and the further afield, but there are no sittings of either Dimitri or Mishka so far.”Maddog nods, “I've started to search for all of the properties owned by Dimitri himself or his associated companies; we can start sending teams in to che

    The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 124Mishka’s point of view.I wake up in the morning still feeling a little groggy. I have no idea what pills Mrs Harris gave to me, but I slept the whole night; my back pulls as I take a look around, wondering what time it is; my heart stops when I hear his voice,“Good morning, kitten.”He says he walks over to me before stopping at the cage door. I immediately crawl out before kneeling at his feet as I wait for his instructions. I’m biding my time, and I know I need to play this smart. I must escape from him, but I need to be stronger, so I’ll play his perfect pet as I wait for an opportunity.He grins down at me as he says,“Good girl” Dimitri’s point of view.I open the cage as I wait for her to crawl out, and she kneels at my feet; I can't help but notice how much pain she seems to be in and how slowly she’s moving. Such a shame as I was hoping to play with her today….Never mind, I’m sure I can find other things for her to do without leavi

    The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 124Ben’s point of viewIt’s been 24 hours, and still, there is no sign of Mishka. I’m getting worried now, and I dread to think of what she’s going through, and I need to find her soon.I’m pacing the room when Jake walks in,“Hey, brother, how are you doing? Are you okay?” He asks“Fuck no…I need to be doing something. I need to be out there looking for her. I feel so fucking hopeless,” I say.Jake nods, “I know, Ben... We will find her that I promise you. I have every available member out looking for her besides the experts I’ve brought in. They will find something soon. There will be a trace somewhere. Just hold on, brother.”I sigh as I reply, “I don't think I can do this, Jake…I’ve seen what he’s already done to her.”He places a hand on my shoulder. “I know Ben…Believe me, and I know exactly what you're going through right now. We will find her, and when we do, she’s going to need you more than ever. That’s why I think you're better here wi

    The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 126Ben’s point of viewWe make our way down to the meeting room, and I stop at the door as I look around the room. To my shock, there must be at least 300 people in the room. My jaw drops to the floor as Jake points to a chair at the large front table and says,“Please take a seat, Mrs Harris.”I pull out her chair before taking the seat beside her; Jake stands at the front facing everyone as he says,“I’d like to thank you all for coming today. I know that you've all been advised of our missing lady Mishka Ivanov and also by the fact that she is being held by Dimitri Lebedev. Well, today, we have some good news. Let me introduce Ivy Harris to you all. Ivy is Dimitri’s housekeeper and has agreed to help us rescue Mishka .”He turns to look at Adam as he says, “Adam?”“Yes, Boss”, Adam replies, leaving Jake to continue talking.“I need you to get us plans of the house where Mishka is being held” He slides across a piece of paper, which I’m assumin

    The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 127Mishka’s point of viewI’ve been on my own for most of the day. Mrs Harris went out this morning with the promise of finding Ben and Swift security. I can only pray that she somehow finds him without Dimitri finding out.I’ve just finished the sandwich she left me for my lunch this morning. I haven't dared to leave the room, though, apart from the occasional toilet break, but that's only to the adjoining bathroom.It’s been a long and lonely day, and it makes me realise just how much I've begun to rely on Mrs Harris, not just for food and everything else she does but for her company. I listen to the clock as the seconds tick by. It’s two pm now, and the minutes are dragging on, but at least Dimitri has not been around again, and for that, I am incredibly thankful. My heart drops when the door opens; praying it's not him, I breathe again when I hear Mrs Harris call out,“It’s only me, Mishka.”She walks into the room, looking around as she whi

    The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 128Mishka’s point of viewI use all of my strength to bring him down. I have to do something. I can’t let him hurt Ivy. She doesn't deserve it, not when all she's been trying to do is to help me; Dimitri hits the ground hard, and I quickly jump up as more and more of Dimitri’s men come into the room.I push Ivy behind me as I look around for something, anything that I can use as a weapon, before picking up a glass jug from the bedside table.Dimitri laughs as he looks up at me, “It seems as though my kitten has grown some claws. What are you going to do with that Mishka? Pour me a drink.”I look down at him; funny how he seems so small right now, and I laugh back as I slam the jug down onto the corner of the table before picking up a large jagged piece.I know this won't end well for me, but boy does it feel good to stand up to my monster. I've finally found the courage to fight back, and there is no way I’m backing down now.His eyes go wide as

Jake is driving, and I’m in the passenger seat next to him as we lead the Swift convoy; he turns to me as he says,“You okay?”I nod before replying, “Yeah, I just want that fucker to pay”We pull up a little way back from the house in an unmarked van. Adam has already hacked into Dimitri’s security cameras, and we can see what’s going on inside. Mishka is currently inside a cage in one of the upstairs bedrooms as much as this makes my blood boil. I know that for the time being, she’s safe and out of his way.Adam talks over my shoulder from the rear of the van,“Dimitri has just entered the house; he’s in the kitchen talking to Ivy”, He says.I clench my fist at the mention of his name. I am so ready to end that Fucker now.“Fuck”, Adam mutters, and I turn my head to look at him as I say, “What?”“He asked Ivy to bring Dimi

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. Yes, you may be able to close this brothel, but I have so many others and so many pretty girls just like this one.”She pulls me closer, and the knife digs into my throat as Ben pleads.“Please don't hurt her.”Madame Cara chuckles once more as she s

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.

I look at him shaking my head, “She is my sister, Ben; I’m coming with you.”“You can't….I can't take the chance of you being hurt, Mishka or worse, I've only just got you back, baby…Please don't do this…You are not trained….”The look he gives me breaks my heart, but this is my baby sister. We are talking about what if she needs me. I have to be there…I have to go…I have to make him understand.I look him in the eyes as I say“She’s my sister Ben.
