CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
‘DEEP END’ FOUSHEÉ
Letty and I hold hands as we run to the back of the store. One guard opens the door and looks up and down the lit hallway before nodding his head. Brian and two men in front, and three behind us as we enter the hall.
It's long and straight with doors all along the wall on the right side.
As we jog down the hallway, I can't stop looking back and making sure no one is following. I have that skin-crawling feeling you get when you're home alone, and you feel like someone right behind you, but I force the feeling back and continue to jog.
The three men behind me are the guards that Leo assigned to me but I've yet to make any kind of friendship with them. That may be my fault since I've spent so much time with the family. If we get out of this alive, I'll make it a point to get to know them.
"Hector, meet us at the back of the mall. At the delivery docks." Brian speaks into the phone as he glances back at Letty and me. "Yeah, everyone is safe. The girls will go with you to the pent’. Me and the guys will do a sweep. How far are you?"
We get to the end of the hallway where there is another door. The same guard from earlier looks out to check if it's clear. He nods once and we all file out into the warehouse.
There's a couple of stockers there having a cigarette break, but they run off as soon as they see all the guns the guys are carrying.
Can't say I blame them.
We all get to the bay doors and wait for Hector.
"How far was Hector?" The guard behind me asks as he stands close to my back while keeping a lookout.
"Two minutes," Just as Brian finishes the words, we hear the telltale screeching of tires on the pavement.
Hector pulls up in his black Maybach Exelero.
"Alright, you two," Brian points at the two guards that lead our group, "take Letty. Once she's seated, we'll take Dice."
I guess I'm riding bitch on Letty's lap since the Mercedes Benz is a two-seater only. I'm not complaining, I just want to get the hell out of here.
Hector throws the passenger door open, and the two guards take off with Letty between them. Brian watches them go, but when it's my turn, a strong hand rips me to the back of the group. A hand around my throat and the cold barrel of a gun to my temple.
Not this again!
When a whimper leaves my lips, Brian, and the two guards, whip around with their guns pointed at the man holding me.
"Sorry, Brian. I didn't want to do this, but they have my daughter."
Fire burns in Brian's eyes and he speaks through gritted teeth, "You fucking cunt traitor. You could have fucking told us, and we would have gotten her back. You know what will happen to you now? Do you know what Leo will do to your family for this betrayal?"
The guy takes a step back, pulling me with him, "Put your guns down. I have to take her."
Fuck! I need to do something! I can't let this fucker take me.
Brian and the guards take a step forward, but the asshole seems to be losing his shit, "Stop! Don't fucking move!" His nasty hot breath and spittle hits me along my neck and I'm fucking cringing as my stomach churns.
He's shaky, and I can feel his panic mounting with every second. Fuck, I need to think quick. I keep my eyes on Brian's and I'm trying my best to signal to him that I'm not going down without a fight, but while Brian's eyes stay on mine, I see a slight change in his demeanor.
He's still as angry as a raging bull, but his body relaxes a little but then takes on a new rigid stance. I'm not sure what's caused the change or if anyone else noticed it, but the corner of his mouth lifts slightly as a voice rings out further behind me.
"Déjala ir, hijo de puta."Let her go, son of a bitch.
Leo moves around the asshole holding me and from the corner of my eye, I see his gleaming gun at the man's temple.
Ha! How does that feel you ballsack?
Even without looking directly at him, I can still feel the fury rolling off Leo in waves.
