Chapter 190: Ryder help me, what do I do?

River POV

"Sorry" I say shaking my head. I take my phone back from her. She hands me her phone.

"Hello" I say voice shaking slightly.

"It's me Riv" I breath out when I hear Ryder's voice.

"Have you found him" I ask trying not to cry.

"I'm trying but this is about that call you just got. Has this happened before?" He asks me.

"Yes" I say. "I have got a few weird texts and a few hang up calls" I say.

"Is it anyways from a blocked number?" He asks me. It sounds like he's typing on his keyboard, if that's what that noise is he can type fast.

"Blocked or Unknown is how it always comes up as."

"Hmm" he says then more clicking "This is weird" he says then he stops talking and starts typing again.

"Ryder" I say after a minute. I wait but he doesn't talk back just more typing. I look at Flame she laughs "He gets super focused and he won't hear you just try again" she says walking over and pulling out two glasses from behind the bar.

"Brain" I wait and he still hasn't said anything just a few sounds here and there and clicking from the keyboard. He's pissing me off now, is something happening with the boys? "Ryder!" I say louder.

I'm going to start panicking my body's getting hot I feel like I'm going to throw up"God damn it Ryder Roderick McFoy!!" I yell into the phone.

The clicking and everything goes dead silent.

He finally let's out a loud breath looking at me "Fuck River! Don't do that again. Do you know how long it's been since I heard that name" his voice sounds shaky.

"Sorry but your pissing me off. You wouldn't answer me"

"I forgot you were on here. I'm sorry" he says breathing a little heavy. "Sometimes I get too focused and forget I'm on the phone."

"What happened?" I hold my breath. Flame comes over and moves the phone from my ear and hits the speaker button.

He breaths out a few times "They just went in where their holding them" he says quietly.

Flame grabs my phone "switch she says" handing me my phone. She quickly starts calling someone. She starts taking fast in Italian as she's walking towards the other side of the room.

I look at my phone and it's a video call. I just stare at my brother's face. He's handsome. He looks scared right now it's the same face as I remember. He's watching a monitor or something I can't see.

"Move the phone so I can see too!" I say. He jumps at my voice. He looks at me, his eyes are scared. It's really bad for him to look like this. He shakes his head. The night he disappeared was the last time I've seen him look this scared.

"Ryder please" I say crying. I watch his face change and his eyes fill with tears, he shakes his head "Your not watching this River!"

I can hear static and some gunfire then I hear Lucky yell out Pickle's name. I've never heard his voice sound so panicked and pained.

I watch Ryder jump and the look of sheer panic comes over his face. "Ryder what happened?"

"Lucky is he still alive?!" he cries out "Lucky is he alive?" He yells again. "Ryder what happened?" I yell at him.

"They are almost there two minutes out!" Lucky keep him breathing till then! Come on brother keep breathing dammit!" Ryder says rocking his body back and forth like he used to when shit got really bad at home.

"Ryder, Lucky someone answer me dammit!" I yell.

"What the are you thinking get her off of here now!" I hear Lucky yell.

"Pickle!" I yell out as I drop to the ground. Flame runs to me. My hands are shaking so hard I can barely hold the phone. She grabs it and holds it for us "Cervello look at me" he turns his head slowly back to our screen. His eyes are full of tears. He closes his eyes and the tears fall down his face.

"Ryder!" I yell out. He looks at me with tears running down his face.

"Ryder help me, what do I do?!" I can hear the panic in Lucky's voice.

"I'll walk you through it, you have to stick your hand in his chest cavity and hold his artery closed it's the only chance I'll have!" Ryder yells and the sounds on his side stop.

We watch as he throw something across the room. His tears are running heavily now. Flame yells his name "Ryder!" His eyes are still closed and his face is still down.

"Baby look at me, we need a cover story fast! This is you and you still have a job to do. Focus on that my love focus, your the only one who can do this job and your brother's need you. Doc can't help him, he needs a real hospital now!" he opens his eyes looking at her. He then turns fast back to the other screen wiping his face as he starts typing fast. He nods to her and ends the call.

"River go pack you two a quick bag and grab the black bag inside my door. I'll get us a plane ready. Cervello baby get what you need to work and be ready for Valentino to pick you up in fifteen minutes"

I take off running to get what we need. My legs are shaking so bad and they feel like jello as I run up the stairs. Luckily I never unpack our bags yet so I can just grab them and go.

Lucky POV

I have my hand in my brothers chest right now and I'm really trying to hold my ass together.

Marco is holding on to his nephew Stefano. That kid is tuff. They pulled his eye out and tortured him pretty bad and he's still conscious.

Gio's hurt pretty bad. Doc said he might lose his leg if the infection gets too bad. His face will need a plate to put his cheek back in place, like how River's face is held together.

"Hold on brother cause I can't be the one to tell River you died. Please Pickle hold on we're almost there." My hand is shaking so hard I'm afraid I won't be able to hold this artery closed if we don't hurry.

"How much longer damn it?" I yell.

"Five minutes" the ambulance driver answers.

"Fuck! Hurry the hell up!" I yell at him.

"I'm going as fast as I can" he yells back.

Pickle grabs my hand and I look down.

"Did you.. get the other.. two out?" He moans out quietly.

I nod at him. He's in pain I can see it in his eyes.
