Still Drakes POV
“We are moving in, kill everyone with a gun, but take Loretta alive, I need some information from her.” I instructed them firmly.
“Drake, wait a minute…
Don’t you think we need to talk about this?
Don’t forget, he is still your…”
“Lets go guys, kill every fucking one of them!” I ordered sternly, ignoring his words. I pulled out my gun and reloaded it, then I ran in after the guys, leading them in. But Riley just wouldn’t back off, he pulls me back and tried talking so sense into my head, or so he thinks anyway,
“You can’t kill your brother man, you can’t descend to his level. You may think you are doing the right thing, but trust me, you will regret it later on. We’ll get him man, we have enough evidence to put him away for murder and attempted rape.
I need you to think this through before you make any stupid decisions, you know I will never advice you wrongly, right?” he asked calmly. I glared at him furiously, I’m trying so hard to control my anger because I don’t want to give in to temptation and punch him in the fucking face. I can see the determination in his eyes, I can tell you that he is ready to stop me from going in there if he thinks that I want to hurt Riley.
I had no choice but lie and pretend to him, I don’t want to create a scene out here and I certainly do not want to hurt him. I just had to assure him that I do not plan to kill my brother. He foolishly believed me, or maybe he didn’t believe me, but he just doesn’t want to get into a fight with me out here. It would be so stupid to stand out here and exchange words and punches while the guys were engaged in a gunfight inside the building. I put down my gun in pretense, but immediately we got into the building, I pulled it out and shot twice, aiming for my brothers black heart…
“Oh my God!
Drake!
Put it down!
Put it down, man. You don’t know what happened and you are not thinking straight.
You are going to kill him, man!
Put down the fucking gun!” Liam yelled continuously, trying to get me to stop. But I couldn’t hear a word of what he was saying, or maybe I did, who cares?
He ducked in time and escaped my first bullet, but he wasn’t fast enough to escape my second bullet. It was aimed at his heart, but Liam came at me with full speed and he hit my hand before I could aim straight. He couldn’t stop me from shooting him anyway, he only succeeded in shifting my aim. I saw him holding his bleeding shoulder as he ran the other way, heading for the back door.
My boys were facing heavy fire when I first got in, but when I got in, my presence increase their tenacity and they attacked their assailants and took them down, but they couldn’t get Loretta as I instructed them to. Somehow she managed to get away before I arrived. And now Riley has slipped out of my hands because of Liam.
That is so not cool!
“What was that for!
Are you fucking insane?” I yelled at his when Riley got away. I don’t know what has gotten into him, but he should not have interfered in my vendetta against my brother. The pep talk good, I appreciate him trying to steer me in the right direction, but that doesn’t give him the right to challenge me openly, in the presence of my boys. What if they follow his footsteps, what if they decide to challenge me as well…
Will I be able to discipline them and dish out the right punishment for their offence?
If I want them to respect my decision a in the future, then I need to tackle this right now!
“You had no right, Liam!
None whatsoever!
What if he shot me when you distracted me, what if he shot Mia, already, she could be dead you know. Did you see her sister out there, did you see what he did to her?
That guy deserves no mercy, Liam and if they manage to get away with the recording that Loretta made, I’ll fucking kill you!” I swore furiously, taking a few steps closer to him as I scolded him. He avoided me at all cost, he kept moving back to put some space between, but I kept coming forward anyway, backing him to the wall, glaring fire at him.
“I’m sorry, man. I just didn’t want you to do something you would regret later on. I was just looking out for you, and I’m sorry, bro, but I suggest we check up on Mia and also run after them before they get away.” He suggested calmly, making me growl in frustration as I realized that I was too busy chasing after my brother, and I totally forgot to check up on Mia to see if she is still alive or not. I sighed in anger as I turned around and walked to Mia’s direction,
“This is not over, Riley!
For your sake, I suggest you goo out there and search for them before they get out of our reach. If they both escape with those pictures and videos they made of Mia, it’s going to be on you, and I will not forgive you.
Get the hell out of here!” I scolded angrily, turning my back to him as I tried to feel Mia’s veins for a pulse. I could hear his receding footsteps as he walked away but I didn’t give a damn about him. I focused on Mia, I could feel her pulse, but it is very weak. She is barely breathing, and she is sporting a head injury that looks very bad. We need to move her to the hospital or she won’t make it out alive.
From the look of the injury on her head, I could tell that she has been unconscious for quite a while now. The blood around her body is already dry and it’s stuck to her head and her body. I picked her up from the floor and took her to a car close by and put her in the back of the car, strapping her in.
“Take her to the hospital, I’ll meet you there in twenty minutes. You don’t stop for anything or anyone, you head straight to the hospital and you keep an eye on her until I get there, you hear me?
If anything happens to her, I swear, you will be a dead man, I’ll fucking maim you.
Keep her safe, and make sure she gets attended to, she must be moved to the emergency room immediately she gets in, she needs intensive care immediately.
Now get going…
Get out of here!” I ordered sternly. He let out a sigh of relief, and that is when I realized that I haven’t asked him about his involvement in all this. I know he is not involved in Riley’s plan, but he is one if Mia’s personal guards that I personally picked to watch over her. I trusted them to make the right decision, I trusted them to look after her and make sure she is okay. But they chose to be stupid, now William and Carrie are both dead, and Mia fighting for her life.
It’s true that my brother had orchestrated all of these things, but they put their lives in danger by listening to Mia’s instructions when they could have avoided all this traumatic events. If only they had stuck to the rules, they could have called me and informed me of her plans, they could have made the right decision for her. But they gave Riley an advantage, they gave him a chance to hurt my wife and now he has done an irreparable damage to my family. That is so unacceptable!
“This is not over, Carl!
You won’t get off so easily!
Your partner and my sister-in-law are both dead because of your mistake today.
You will pay for your negligence, Carl. Bear that in mind and get the fuck out of here.
You have one more chance to prove your worth to me, don’t screw it up this time.” I warned him firmly before jumping into another car. I know Carl screwed up when he challenged me, but I couldn’t let him catch those two alone. For all I know, they could be planning something stupid again, I just can’t tell what those two are capable of.
“Where are you, Liam?
Do you have eyes on the package?” I asked him through our comms. I hate to sound this mean to him, but I need him to know when to draw the line. Today was not a good day to mess with me. I got their location, but I didn’t follow the same direction that they went. I took another route and I drove at a high speed and blocked them in front.
Liam and I communicated nonstop, he told me every turn they make and we boxed them in, creating a roadblock in front and behind their car. I could see the fear on Loretta’s face when she saw me in front of their car. She was so terrified that her entire body shook tremendously. She pushed the door open and ran off, abandoning Riley to his fate. I would have chased after her, but she wasn’t carrying anything that I needed. She abandoned everything and took to her hills, I simply ignored her and went to pick up the cameras and phones that could be used to record what they had done today.
“Are you just going to leave me here to die?
We are brothers, Drake, you can’t let me die this way.” Riley called out to me. I ignore him and I went on with what I came for, when I was done with it, I looked up at his pale face and I scoffed at his pathetic condition,
“If there is anything worse than death, that is what you deserve, Riley. And in case you don’t die in this condition, get ready to spend the rest of your life in jail.”
With that said, I left him to his fate and drove off with all the evidence I could find. I decided to go with Liam’s advice, I’ll get him jailed for this. He is going to be spending a very long time in jail, that is if he survives this. Killing him is just going to taint my name, I’ll let him suffer for ever daring to go against me, and when I’m done with him, he will beg for death.
I left the scene after getting everything I needed, I sent Liam back to the restaurant to take care of the dead bodies while I went him to inform my parents on what had transpired between Mia and Riley. Today. I still don’t want to see her yet. I know she needs me, I know she is hurt, but I don’t want to see her yet. I can’t stand the sight of her, I don’t even want to look at her face, I can’t stand her.
She screwed up…
She fucking screwed up…
