Dimitri’s POV
….
I walk out of the bathroom just in time to hear my phone vibrating on the nightstand. I walk over to my phone and pick it up to see that Lucia calling me.
” Yeah?” I question him.
” We need to go pick up the shipment your father ordered. It is at the dock right now ready to be picked up.” Lucia tells me.
” The shipment isn’t suppose to arrive until ten thirty tonight.” I tell him.
Looking at the clock on the nightstand to see that it is only three o’clock.
Something doesn’t seem right about this.
” Are you sure it is the shipment dad ordered?” I question him.
” Yeah, it is the shipment Rex ordered. I am looking at the text message I got the captain of the ship. They are waiting right now at the docks for us to pick it up.” Lucia tells me.
” Fine, meet me in the kitchen and make sure you have your gun. Something doesn’t seem right about this.”
When shipment comes in. It isn’t suppose to arrive early or late. It is to come at the time it was scheduled to arrive.
” Alright, I will tell Liam about the situation, and we will meet you in the kitchen.” Lucia says before hanging up.
I put my phone down on the bed, before walking over to my dresser. I open the second drawer and dig around for a bit. I finally decide to wear black sweatpants. I pull them out from the drawer and hang the sweatpants over my left arm. I than shut the drawer before moving down to the third drawer. I open it and see a black shirt laying ontop. I get the shirt out and walk over to the bed.
I still haven’t been able to wear regular jeans. The fabric still rubs against my burn skin and it irritates me. So, I just keep wearing sweatpants.
I toss my clean clothes ontop of the bed, before quickly take off my grey sweatpants and white shirt. I toss my dirty clothes into the dirty laundry basket that was in the corner of the room. I than pick up my black sweatpants and quickly get dressed. Grabbing my phone off the bed. I stick my phone into my right pocket before looking around.
Now, where the hell did I put my gun. I put it away to keep Sadie from getting a hold of it. She is getting to where she can climb. So, I stopped placing it ontop of the dresser. After Sadie managed to climb onto the kitchen counter.
I still don’t know how she managed to climb onto the counter. The only explanation I came up with is that she pulled the drawers opened and climbed up one at a time. The only down side to that explanation is that all of the drawers to the counter where closed, but it is possible that she closed them. She is very smart for her age.
I remember putting my gun somewhere she couldn’t climb. Somewhere very high.
Hearing the bathroom door open.
I turn around to see Amara wearing my shirt once again.
” You are an asshole.” She whispers yells at me.
I smirk at her, ” You wanted to play I game. All I did was play along with you.” I say grabbing my black colored tennis shoes that were on the other side of my dresser.
” I’m not playing. We aren’t having sex until you let Sadie go to public school.” She tell me.
I scoff, ” I wish you luck on that, because I am not changing me mind. Guess we will see how long you last.” I tell her as I put my shoes on.
Standing up I walk over to the closet. I open the door and grab a white box off the top shelf. I open the box and see my gun inside of it.
Knew I put it somewhere high up. Guess I should start leaving myself a sticky note. So, I know where I put it next time.
Taking my gun out of the box. I check the bullets before heading to the door.
” Where are you going?” I hear Amara question me.
” I have work I need to do.” I say opening the door and walking out.
Going down the hallway I hear my father talking to Liam and Lucia.
” The shipment doesn’t come in until ten thirty tonight. So, it shouldn’t have arrived yet. Seems like a trap of some kind.” I hear him say.
Walking into the kitchen I speak, ” We are aware something is off about this situation. Which is why we are going to search the area, before we actually show up to get the shipment.”
” You need to do a lot more than search the area. You need to take men with you.” He tells me.
” We aren’t taking any men. It will draw attention. If it is a trap we can handle it.” I tell him.
” Yeah, like you handled Daniel’s little friends?” He asked with a raised brow.
” Like we knew they were trying blow us up.” Lucia tells him.
” That is the issue! None of you actually thought about it! You guys just run into a house full of gasoline and whatever else they used to make that house explode.” He snaps at us.
He took me getting injured pretty hard. The first couple of weeks he kept going on and on about me dying. If I was a second late from getting out of the house before it exploded.
” Will you drop it!” I snap at him.
It is getting irritating that he keeps reminding me about the huge burn on my back and right arm. I already have to live with it for the rest of my life. I don’t need him constantly reminding me of how cocky Daniel is about finally injuring me, and scaring me for life.
” Come on let’s go!” I snap at Luica and Liam. I walk out of the kitchen and head for the front door.
I need to figure out what is going on, and standing around talking about all the possibilities isn’t going to get us anywhere.
……..
The drive to the dock was about a two hour drive. No thanks to traffic and people not knowing how to drive. ” Pull into the woods to hide the car.” I tells Luica who was driving.
We took the smallest car instead of SUV. So, we could hide the vehicle a lot easier. We need to scope out the situation before we actually question the workers on why they are early in dropping off the drugs.
Getting out of the car I find a good spot that gives a good view of the ship and all the men. ” Who has the binoculars?” I ask them.
” I do.” Lucia says pulling the binoculars out from his small gray backpack and hands them to me.
Holding the binoculars up to my face. I look through them and see servaral men in uniforms hanging around.
They aren’t part of the ship crew. I would have to guess FBI agents or some other government officials. Ever since I went into hiding my hold on this state has been slowly slipping.
” So, is it a trap?” I hear Liam ask from behind me.
” Yeah, it is a trap alright.” I say with a smirk.
” Let’s go play with them.” Looks like it is time to play a game. They will arrest me. Which should be fun. It has been awhile since anyone has put me in cuffs.
Handing Lucia back his binoculars. I walk back to the car and get in the driver seat.
” What are you doing?” Lucia tells me.
” Going to greet those agents. So get in.” I tell them.
” Agents? As in government officials?” Liam question me.
” Yes.” I say with a smile.
” You’re joking! They will arrest us. We are walking into a trap!” Liam whisper shouts at me.
” I am aware that is why it will be fun. Now get in.” I tell him as I turn the key that was still in the ignition.
” He is right, it will be fun.” Lucia says climbing into the passenger seat.
Liam stares at us for a few minutes before letting out a loud sigh. ” Mary is cooking mexican casserole. So, we better make it home in time for dinner.”
” We will be home in time for dinner. Stop whining.” I says putting the car in reverse and start backing up onto the road.
Once I am completely on the road. I put the car back into drive and turn the wheel to start driving forward.
I drive a few feet before pulling into the entrance. The guard at the front gate takes one look at me, before pressing a button on his end. I watch the gate infront of me slowly start to open.
Here we go.
