The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 99Maddox’s point of viewSo the arrests went smoothly, and the team have decided on a night of celebrations, and we are currently en route to some swanky London nightclub. For the first time since we arrived, the guys have been able to let their guard down. I returned to the hotel first after agreeing to meet Laila, Adam, and the rest of the guys in an hour. I just want to speak to Ruby.** Phone Call **I call Ruby, and she answers on the first ring,“Hey baby, Is everything okay?”I smile when her see her face on the screen, God shes fucking beautiful,“Hey beautiful, Yes, everything’s perfect. I’m sorry I woke you up so early, baby.”She smiles and replies, “It’s fine; what’s happened?”I chuckle; yes, she can read me like a book. “I just wanted to let you know that we got the bastards …Mrs King and her three sons have all been arrested and are now held in custody as they wait for a trial date.”“Thank god, but what happens now? Will they
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 100Maddox’s point of viewI manage to get my head down for a couple of hours of sleep, before jumping into the shower; once I’m dressed, I order some food and sit and eat whilst I look for the next available flight back home. Adam has decided to stay for a few days with Laila; I think he's planning to propose to her whilst in London. John has also decided to hang around for a little longer, but I think that has something to do with a particular pretty policewoman that he's set his sights on.It happens to be a good thing that Laila and Adam are staying behind, as It means I can leave them to close everything up here and get all the equipment ready to be shipped back home.When I’m finished with breakfast, I head downstairs with my suitcase, ready to meet up with Peter and half of the team that have decided to head straight back; I check my watch; it’s still a little early to call Ruby, so I send her a quick text instead to let her know that I’
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 101Ruby’s point of viewIt’s early in the morning when I get a text from Maddox telling me he's leaving for the airport. I can't wait to see him, I’ve missed him so much, and I know Ysabel is excited about going to the airport. I send a reply to his text letting him know I'm taking Ysabel to the park today. It will be good for the booth to get out of this place and spend time together.Ysabel must be feeling the same she's such a good child and has not complained once about being cooped up at the bunker.I was so happy last night when Maddox rang to tell me that Vincent's family had all been arrested. Ysabel is now free to live her life like a normal child, and I’m happy that she's chosen Maddox and me to be a part of it.I jump out of bed before heading for the shower. When I’m finished, I choose a pretty sundress for myself and a cute dress for Ysabel before applying some light makeup; when I’m finished, I head into the kitchen to make break
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 102Ruby’s point of viewI watch Ysabel run away, praying she makes it to the police station. I can hear the voices inching closer and closer to my hiding place. I know they will find me, but the longer I stay hidden from their sight, the better chance Ysabel has of making it to the police station. If they find her now, I know that they will kill her.“There's nowhere to hide, Ysabel”, I hear a voice call out, a voice that is now on top of me.Fuck…I see their polished shoes edging closer to where I am.I’m pulled to my feet as hands roughly grab my shoulders, “Oww.”He laughs as he pulls me up, “There's nowhere to hide now bitch” He sneers down at me as his fingers grip my arm, and one of the other men searches the bush where I’ve been hiding.“She's not here, Boss,” He says to the guy holding me; the man pulls me to face him as he yells, “Where the fuck is she?”I can feel myself shaking as I whisper, “Who?”He backhands me hard across the
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 103Ysabel’s point of view“Ruby, you're scaring me”, I say, and she replies,“Ysabel, run, sweetie, as fast as you can. Everything will be okay.”She takes my hand as she pulls me away from the paths, and over the grass, I can see people following us…I’m scared. Ruby picks me up as she runs towards some bushes and looks around before pointing to a gap in the fence and she squeezes my hand as she says,“You have to be brave, sweetheart; run as fast as you can and don't look back. The police station is just outside the park gates. Find a policeman or woman and ask them to call Swift security for you; Maddox will come for you, okay.”I nod my head as the tears run down my face, I do not want to leave Ruby, but she's making me scared,“I don't want to leave you.” I say, and she smiles back at me, “You have to do this, baby, Maddox will find me, but you have to get some help and get away from these men.”It's my father's family; it has to; she said
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 104Ysabel’s point of viewI carry Ysabel to her room, gently putting her in the bed before kissing her on her forehead and making my way to the office; Jake is already at his desk when I walk in; he looks up at me as I say.“Has there been any news?”He shakes his head and replies, “No, I’m sorry, Maddox, nothing yet. Laila and Adam are on their way home along with John and a policewoman who's been dealing with Mrs King and her sons.”I flop down in the chair opposite him as I say, “I feel so fucking useless just sitting here.”Jake nods, “Believe me, Maddox. I know what you're going through it, but I need you here. We have the best teams looking for her, and Ruby’s strong Maddox, she will get through this.He stands up and places a hand on my shoulder as I reply, “Yeah, she is…I swear, Jake, if they touch her, I’ll fucking kill the lot of them.”“And I’ll be right by your side, brother”, he replies.Ruby’s point of view.My head hurts so much
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 105Maddox’s point of viewIt's been 48 hours, and we still haven't found Ruby; I've got to admit I'm getting scared now; I’m afraid for Ruby and also for Ysabel, she's been so quiet these past two days, and I know that she blames herself for what happened. I've tried to reassure her, but it makes no difference. It kills me to watch a five-year-old girl with this on her conscious. My heart breaks for her. I know the team will find Ruby, but I pray that were not too late. I’ve seen first-hand the destruction that this family can cause.Laila and Adam flew home as soon as they heard the news about Ruby. It’s good to have my little sis back home and on my side through this; Adam’s brother John also came back along with the lead police officer and detective who have been dealing with the case in England, There's a knock on the door, and I look up as Laila walks in, “Hey bro, how are you holding up?”“I feel so useless…So numb…” I reply,“I know, M
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 106Ruby’s point of viewOnce again, I find myself alone in this cold, dark and damp cellar. I spend all my time tied to this chair. My only relief is a few hours at night when I’m left an old mattress to sleep on with my hands tied to some pipes, Or when I’m taken to the toilet without any privacy.I have no idea how long I have been held here; I haven't eaten anything either, not that I’m hungry. I am forced to take a few sips of water every now and then, and I can feel my energy levels slipping away.I hear footsteps coming down the steps and grit my teeth with the fear and pain of what's to come. I haven't told them a thing, and it's begging to take a severe toll on my already weakened body.I close my eyes in the hope that maybe just maybe, he will walk away; sadly, that's not about to happen as I hear him sneer, “wake up bitch.”The cold water hit my face, and I gasp before trying to force my swollen eyes open; my body and face are now se

No better person than someone who has been there themselves, but the more she saw, the more she understood just how bad trafficking has become in Russia. Add to that Alyona becoming homesick.

The Swift Security Series Epilogue Chapter 146 Maddox and Ruby twelve months later So what about our lovable rogue, or maybe we should say loveable man-child maddog Maddox Lennox and his beautiful little sidekick Ruby? 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. Yes, they had a crazy first year together.

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 143Mishka’s point of viewMadame Cara drags me into the room by my hair; as I look up to see Ben, the look on his face breaks my heart.“Oh, so this is your woman, Such a pretty young thing.”She whispers as she runs the blade along my neck. 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
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 142Ben’s point of viewI’m not fucking happy that Mishka is coming with us; I know this is her sister we are trying to save, but still, I’d be much happier knowing she was somewhere safe. 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 count down the last few seconds, knowing as soon as midnight hits, chaos will rain down,Those ten seconds tick by agonisingly slow before Bear's voice booms
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 141Mishka’s point of viewThe teams are getting ready to move in. I watch Ben as he puts his gear on, checking his weapons before slipping on his Kevlar vest.Ben turns to look at me as I start to tie my trainers.“No baby,” He says. 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. I cannot sit round here wondering if you got her out, if she’s okay if you're okay…Please, Ben, it will drive me crazy what if she needs me.”“Fuck”, He mutters before carrying on, “Okay, you can come only if you promise me you will stay in the van until your sister is bro
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 140Mishka’s point of viewI find myself pacing up and down the hotel room; these two hours feel like an eternity, especially when you can hear the seconds ticking by in this lonely hotel room.I’m worried, and not just for my sister; I’m also worried for Ben. 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
The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 139Bear’s point of viewI find myself in Russia after being drafted in to lead a mission alongside my fellow security officer Bulldog or Ben, if you prefer to use his real name.The Boss, Jake Swift, wanted someone to head the team with him as it’s his girlfriend's sister we've been sent to look into along with some other young women and girls who we believe are being forced to work in a brothel.Jake asked me to join teams with Bulldog as his first team is attending Tank’s wedding this weekend.We spent the first day checking the house out from the outside; nothing was happening well apart from the constant stream of clients going in and out of the property.I’ve been handed some pictures of the girls we were sent to rescue, and Alyona Mishka’s sister is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I’ve rescued many women while working for Jake Swift. I push any thoughts of Aloyna from my mind; I’m here to do a job and cannot afford to lose concen
