CHAPTER SEVEN

REI POV

What the hell happened?

The siblings went God knows where, no one even knows the name of the young lady, or who she is, Theo decided to stay in the mansion, Tyler too, the squad and I went to our quarters and took the guard with us.

Since Tyler is a doctor, he rushed to examine the wounded guard.

Guess what? He got a small wound on his neck.

The first shot was to crush his Bluetooth earbud, the second was by his neck to knock him out.

And only a well trained person can do such a good work and know how much bullets are in the gun jest by weigh.

Once in our quarters, we put the guard in the questioning room and waited for him to wake up.

The guys were tired by the time, so I sent them home.

Abel and Yasmine refused to go, and they stayed, but not soon after, I found them passed out on the couch, my baby sister's head on Abel's shoulder, while his head rested on top of hers.

I smiled and took a picture of them, I'm gonna put it in the squad's secret album with the rest of pictures that I took of the five of them without them noticing, most of the pictures were embarrassing ones hhh.

I put the phone inside my jacket after checking the hour, it was 02 am already.

I returned to the questioning room, closed the door, took a seat in front of the guy that was tied to his chair, I put the recorder on the table and then, I kicked his feet under the table and he stirred awake.

-"DUDE" he screamed, I was relieved that the room was soundproof.

-"Morning babe, rise and shine" I said sarcastically.

-"Where am I?" he asked while looking around the room, and when he discovered that he was tied, he started struggling to free himself.

-"Stop struggling, you can release yourself unless I release you" I said and he stopped struggling.

-"Why am I even alive? I thought that the girl killed me!" He was so shocked.

-"She never intended to kill you, so, let's start our work here" I said seriously.

-"Have I done something bad?" He asked with panic in his face.

-"It depends on you" I said with no emotion.

-"Why am I here?" He asked at least.

-"I have some questions, and you are going to provide me with the answers" I said leaning in my chair.

-"Okay!" He said confused.

-"Who were you talking to on your Bluetooth ? And since when?" I started.

-"Another guy that I don't know the name, and that was since our boss left to his last trip" he answered honestly.

-"Who is the guy you were talking to?" I continued.

-"I don't know his name, before leaving, boss called me to his office, asked me to take care of his family and to work hard with the other guards and to report to a number everything that happens in the mansion" he continued too.

-"Do you have any idea why your boss would ask you something like that?" I asked.

-"No! I mean it's something simple and not that hard to do, and also, I get well paid, with the money I can assure the fees to my son's surgery" he said honestly.

-"Give me the number you were calling previously, and also, give me your name and informations" I ordered him.

He strangely was easy to deal with, and he seemed so honest.

I called the number, but it wasn't in service anymore, and searching about the guy, I found out that what he said was true about his identity and kid.

I transferred him to a cell, for legal procedures and security.

I checked his phone and messages, I got some numbers, but everything seemed normal.

What did she meant by a doggie?

By 5 am, I had to take the kids home and let them rest for the first half of the day.

So I took my baby sister home first, put her in bed and left her a note to rest, then, I went to Theo's house for Abel.

It was already six am.

I took Abel to the level where the flat was, helped him inside, made sure he was well tucked in bed, left him a note too, and went to leave.

Closing the door to the flat, I went to check my phone, but it slipped from my hand and went flying to the door of the neighbors. God!

VIKTORIA's POV

God! Finally!

I swing the door ready to kill them both.

-"BITCH HAVE YOU SEEN THE TIME!" I sassed but I found what I wasn't waiting for.

-"Oh my God! It slipped from my hands I am so sor-" he started while crouching by his phone and started standing, but stopped when he saw me.

It was too late but I banged the door so hard to close it, but it never did, his black combat boot was between the door and the frame.

-"Get your feet out or I'm gonna crush it" I threatened.

-"Yeah my bad! And the sky is blue" he said sarcastically.

-"Technically yeah!" I said.

-"Sorry, too tired to think about a good sarcastic answer" he said and pushed the door forcefully and slipped inside the house, closed the door and rested his back to it.

-"What do you want?" I said alarmed.

-"You disappeared the day of the accident, like every time I get you, you slip between my fingers, like sand" he said while gesturing with his hand to create an image to what he said.

-"You missed me darling?" I said sarcastically.

-"I was so worried, sometimes I think that you only exist in my head, you are here, but then you disappear, no one knows you, or anything about you" he said, walking to me, looking at my eyes seriously, and stopped in front of me.

We hold gazes for a moment.

-"I'm here" I said.

-"But you're going to disappear again" he whispered.

-"You show up in the worst moments, as if you walk with danger, you got the same rythme" he said with a strange look.

-It's my destiny" I said at least.

-"The first time we met, I lost someone dear, and got this" he lifted his shirt to show me a scar on his side.

-"And the second time we met, I almost lost my life" he told me.

-"I'm sorry" I said, and that was all I had to say sincerely.

I put my hand on his scar, and I heard his breath hitch, I looked at his eyes, as if searching for approval, when I felt like it was okay, I let my fingers trace the skin of his scar.

He hummed, then, put his head on my shoulder, his hand grabbed my hand that was touching his scar.

-"Are you okay?" I whispered.

-"So tired, your touch is soothing...I haven't slept...yet" he finished and his weight brought us down.

At that precise moment, the siblings came home, the door swinging open by Dimitri, and she was following behind.

They both stopped to look at me on the floor, Rei on top of me and my hand on his back under his shirt.

-"What's going on here?" They both asked at the same time.
