The men Caius brought along With him , cut the Barb Wire off of their hands and feet. The second he was free he grabbed onto me and kissed me.
“ I love you so much “.
“ I love you too. Come on, we need to get you to the hospital. You got shot".
“ I'll live, love. Where are The kids ?".
“ Everyone is at home,safe. Sam's with them. We left security with them”.
“ Mrs Chase, you all need to leave now . The police have been alerted that there's been a shootout, they'll be here in twenty . We'll deal with this“.
“ Okay “.
Bennett and Mason held him up and got him to the car. I checked on Dad and Marcus and they were both okay. We got into the cars and left using one of the hidden back roads. We got home in less than an hour. When we walked into the main house,The kids were still awake.Guess they were waiting to make sure Their father's got back home.
“ Mom ,Can you get a doctor over here, Dominic's hurt”.
The minute the kids saw Their father's,they ran to them and grabbed onto them. After everyone settled down we waited for the doctor. When doctor Hernandez showed up it was two in the morning. He took care of Dominic and everyone's injuries and then left.
“ We need to figure out a better security detail for this place”. Bennett said.
“ We can figure it out later . You all need to get some rest “. I said standing up.Gideon and Cyrus helped their father home and after they made sure Their father was okay. They left and went to bed. After my shower I came out and found him sitting on the bed looking at me.
“ What is it?”. He smiled at me then looked at the bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet was a pair ,for couples. It was a gift that Mia had bought for Us last year. We didn't think much of it and accepted it. She made us wear them every single day and never took them off.
“ The minute I felt the bracelet vibrate , I knew you would find me. When I saw the bracelet land at her feet,I knew you were already there and I wasn't worried any more “. He said, stretching his hands towards me. I took his hands and he pulled me down next to him. I sat beside him,he just held my hands and looked at me.
“ I will always come after you because you will come after me too , Dominic”.
“ I will always come after you “. He said nuzzling my neck.
“ Cut it out, You're hurt"
“ There's nothing wrong with that part of me”. He said tugging at my nightgown.
“ Oh I know,but that doesn't mean you're getting any sugar tonight “.
“ Fine , punish me".
Dominic
When I woke up, I was alone in bed. True to her word she didn't let me touch her last night. I tried getting off the bed ,and realised I didn't want to . I couldn't,I could barely move my left leg. I heard a knock on the door.
“ Come in”.
I sat up when Mia walked in with a tray .
“ Morning Dad”.
“ Morning princess, What's all this?".
“ Breakfast in bed.Mom's order. She's downstairs, making breakfast,she figured you wouldn't want to get out of bed".
“ She's right. If I knew I would get treated like this if I got hurt, I would have gotten hurt sooner “.
“ That's not funny Dad. We were worried about you, Especially Mom. Just be careful in the future okay".
“ Okay princess “.
After she left,I ate breakfast, while watching the News. The reporter was talking about the shooting last night. The police couldn't find much and handed it over to the FBI. I had just finished my coffee when the room door opened and she walked in followed by Detective Ryan.
“ Hmm, it seems like you're being treated like a king?”.
“ What is it?”.
“ Craig is coming to you again. Where are they?".
“ Where's who?”.
He began pacing the room. “ Dominic".
This was the first time he's ever called me by my name.
“ Ryan?”. I retorted
“ Tia. Help me with your husband please. Do you have them?, Kimberly and Bartholomew. I'm asking because two of the bodies that were found in That warehouse were their personal bodyguards. I overheard Agent Craig . So do you have them? No wait let me rephrase that question. Jesus I don't even know how to phrase it. Just say they're not dead”.
“ They're not dead. Yet “.. I Said looking at him.
“ For fucks sake Actually I don't want to know anymore. Just be careful “.
“ We will Ryan “. Tia said, looking At him. After he left she stood looking at me.
“ What?”.
“ You finished with breakfast, I'll help you into the shower and dress your wound".
“ Will you take a shower with me?”.
She rolled her eyes at me. “ Yes".
Tia
Getting hurt wouldn't stop him. He was in pain and still had to strength to have my back against the shower wall fucking the life out of me. We were sitting by the pool area when we saw the car driving in.
“ Heads up”. Sam said. We Saw the SUV driving up to the house. Guess Detective Ryan was right, Agent Craig was meticulous in his work. I wasn't worried about the kids,they were inside hanging out or something. We watched as he got out of the car and made his Way to us.
“ I see the family is relaxing “.
“ We are Agent Craig. What can we do for you?". Dominic asked him. He looked at us.
“ I don't remember him “. He said looking at Sam.
“ This is Sam ,my brother-in-law,My wife's adoptive brother. He was away for work when you visited the last time “.
“ Ahh , I see. Let me cut to the chase Mr Chase. No pun intended . I've been an agent for Almost thirteen years. I've been immaculate in my Job, I'm married to my work at least that's what my ex wife said. I know when someone is hiding something and I can Tell when I'm being lied to. What puzzles me about your entire family is that ,I know for a fact you're hiding something but you've answered my questions truthfully “.
“ The shooting at the abandoned warehouse, some of the men were bodyguards of the Colthrap and Tristan family, we tried contacting the Tristan's and Marcia Tristan said her husband left home yesterday and hasn't returned. Daniel Colthrap said his wife left yesterday also and hasn't returned. Neither of them are answering Their cell phones, we checked and their phones are off , the last known location was at that warehouse ”.
“ Now You and your family had an altercation with the Colthrap, Tristan, Hanes and Michaels family. Your eldest children had somewhat of an altercation with the children from These families. And now I have Four dead teenagers, An unidentified man ,And two missing people. And no clue as to how these teenagers died, and where these two individuals are. I'm a hundred percent sure you all know something about the shootout last evening and if I ask you, you'll all answer truthfully and that leaves me nowhere “.
We didn't say anything,we just kept looking at him. “ Do you have Kimberly Colthrap and Bartholomew Tristan?”.
“ No WE don't". I said looking at him
“ Do you know where they are?”.
“ No we don't" Allie said
“ Are you involved in the shootout that occured last evening?”.
“ All These Men that are sitting here were kidnapped last night.”. Tia said
I saw agent Craig smile.
“ So this is revenge?".
“ Revenge against who?”. Bennett asked
He stood up and began pacing up and down. “ I'm beginning to piece it together. I can almost see it now . Cole Hanes and Johnathan Tristan are the rapists. You somehow found out They were the ones responsible.They were the ones that hurt your daughters and niece so you decided to teach them a lesson. I'm guessing they didn't like that and got Their parents involved and upped the ante so , you and your family decided to get rid of your problem “.
“ Hold on you're telling us , they were the one's that raped our kids? “ I asked, standing up and looking at him.
“ How long ago did the FBI Find out that information? You've kept it from us" Allie asked , standing up and looking at him.
“ I didn't say the FBI knows that information,This is all hypothetical Mrs Chase “. He replied, looking at Allie
“ Okay so what does any of this have to do with the Chase family?". Sam Asked
He kept looking at us. His phone began ringing,he looked at us. “ Excuse me”.
He walked off a bit and answered , he came back five minutes later and just stood there looking around,not at us but everywhere else.
“ The call I just received. The two officers, Wesley and Gibson that were in charge of your niece's death were shot at while they were off duty. Apparently they've Both been doing under the table dealings and my agent found some connections with the Dean of the university “.
We didn't answer, we just kept quiet and looked at him.
