Kinda short because I'm only doing this on break XD I will get to the action soon, I promise- but for now, enjoy this teaser for now
A week had passed and as much as the injured people going through the ER doors didn’t stop, they both thought they were hiding pretty well. More like... They grew too complacent with the fact that they had not been discovered yet. They had really thought that Roland’s pursuitors would have given up by then because the places where the victims were being far got further and further from the area they were.
And with just that bit of information, he was pretty sure that he wouldn’t be needing the masks he wore anymore. Huge mistake.
Little did he know, the family’s eyes and ears were everywhere.
On Dana’s day off, Roland had offered to help her with the groceries, something which she appreciated. So on a Friday morning, both were all ready to go but neither of them even managed to set foot outside the door.
What greeted them upon opening the door was a P-1 military gun aimed directly at Roland’s head
“What the heck-” He stumbled backward and he immediately gestured for Dana to go back to her room. Too late though.
The sound of glass shattering and loud thuds of footsteps already made it clear that even her room was no safe place anymore.
One by one, the men emerged. Some from the main door, some crashed through the windows, and some… They couldn’t even tell where
“We finally found you, Sir Roland. Why did you have to leave us like that? The boss was worried sick” The man that held the gun inched closer to Roland. Gun, still pointed at him.
“What I do has nothing to do with you people anymore” He growled back in retaliation despite the men that were making an effort to put him in binds. He would have successfully fled the place if he had been alone but upon hearing Dana’s shrill cry, he stopped trying to break free and just allowed himself to be tied
“Oh? So you’d gladly come along if we don’t touch your lady friend? You were never like that before”
Roland glanced back to where Dana was. Fear was evident in his eyes as the men kept trying to get close to her. She was already tied up and a piece of cloth was stuffed into her mouth so she couldn’t say anything “Just let her go. She didn’t do anything” He said with a sigh of defeat, pleading evident in his tone. He couldn’t even help himself from struggling out of the restraints a bit just to move towards her.
“The big boss was going to take care of her, he said”
And with that statement, his eyes widened. He knew his father all too well. He knew all the horrid things he would and could do to her. This was the price they both had to pay for their temporary piece
“I’ll go with you! I’ll go back to the family and I’ll take over as my father wanted! Just get your filthy hands off of her!”
“Filthy shouldn’t be something you should be saying, sir” The man leaned closer as he crouched down to Roland’s level. A deranged look was on his face as he pulled Roland up by the strands of his hair, earning a pained groan from him “Need I remind you how filthy your own hands are, partner? Or should it be boss soon? If you weren’t the boss’s son, I would have done you in a long time ago”
Roland already knew that but hearing it was something different. He always knew he received special favors for being born the way he.
“Take these two to the truck. Best give these lovebirds some privacy before the boss decides what to do with the little lady”
With that, the two were dragged away to a black car that was parked just outside the apartment’s doorway. Despite their screams and protests, nobody came to help. Even the police that stood outside remained frozen to their spots. Everyone knew one shouldn’t mess with these people.
They were as good as dead to this side of town after they were both seen being forced into the car.
In the car, Dana had kept as close to Roland as possible, tears were already welling in her eyes yet Roland could only hold her close and assure her they would be alright and that he would find a way to help her escape… Or at least to escape from being one of his father’s toys…
Well, I'll keep waiting for the action, maybe in the next chapter.
