A/N: Thankyou for the all reviews, favourites and follows. And once again sorry for the delay, but here's the next chapter.
Meanwhile. . .
Maddy head turned as she heard a knock at her door.
"Delivery!"
"Delivery?" she muttered to herself as she walked towards the door. She glanced to her phone expecting it ring but nothing. She raised an eyebrow before casually shrugging as she reached the door.
"I wasn't expect-" she began as she opened the door only to feel her heart stop beating as her eyes met with the familiar face in front of her.
"Hello Tara," he grinned.
"No," she muttered quickly pushing the door shut only to feel his wedge his foot in. He was stronger than her causing her to stumble back as he shoved it open with full force.
"Come on Tara, just make this easy for yourself yeah," he said to her as he walked towards her, "or else."
She swallowed hard as she watched the other men walk in shutting and locking the door behind them before they all turned to face her.
"Just do as we say and you won't get hurt," Martin said before he looked behind nodding to his two men who then split off into different rooms of her apartment.
"You just get comfy," he said to her simply causing her to shiver in fear as she processed the situation she was in only hoping that Jamie and the police would be here soon.
Maddy swallowed as she glanced to the three men in her apartment, Martin being one of them. She fidgeted with her hands whilst she was sat worriedly on the sofa. No words had been exchanged between anyone, just silence as they searched her apartment. Her eyes rested on the dark figure of Martin Bano, his back to her as he continued to look out the window. It was that she felt her heart racing as she heard the words come out of his mouth.
"They're coming," Martin said as he stood by the window looking down below before turning to look at Maddy and his two men, "let's go."
She immediately felt a gag come from behind as it muffled her cries. Her heart racing as she felt them pull her two her feet, the man's grip tight on her arm as he pulled her towards the door. She tried shrugging off his grip, her other free hand trying to grab something to keep her put.
"Get her out of here," Martin hissed as he watched the commotion in front of him, his eyes locking with hers.
She was pulled out the door too quickly causing her to stumble as she fell against the hallway door. She took the opportunity to remove the gag from her mouth, looking to the three men in front of her before trying to make a run for it but only ended in defeat.
"No!" she cried as she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her, "get off of me!"
Martin Bano simply watched as the young brunette squirmed in the grip of one of his men. He slowly walked to stand in front of her, watching as she slowly stopped moving.
"You won't get away with this," she said through gritted teeth.
"You won't be saying that when my brother wins his appeal," he replied simply.
"IF he wins," Maddy corrected.
"Oh he will, because you won't be testifying," he said with a smirk.
Maddy's eyes widened in fear as she looked to Martin and then over her shoulder at his two men. She then moved her elbow so it collided with the gut of the man holding her, her body ready to cause more damage but she wasn't ready for the hard blow to her head. She cried out as she felt the shot of pain run through her. Her knees buckled as she looked up, her vision blurry as she made out the butt of a gun being placed back into his belt.
"Take her," was what she head, feeling her limp body hurriedly being picked up.
"Baez where is that backup?!" Danny Reagan shouted through his earpiece as he ran behind his brother down the long corridors.
"On its way, me and Turner are covering the back entrance," she replied.
Jamie's gun immediately went up as his legs slowed down. His eyes on Maddy's closed apartment door before he glanced back to his brother. Danny nodded, his gun out in front of his as he slowly moved forward, his hand on the door knob before looking back at Jamie.
"On three," he whispered as Jamie nodded, "1, 2, 3."
The two of them rushed into the apartment, looking around only to find it empty. Jamie felt his heart sink as he looked around, seeing the knocked over chair, the broken glass along with scuffle marks on the floor.
Danny sighed, putting his gun back in its holster as he crouched down the broken photo frame on the door. Jamie ran his hand over his face looking to his brother in defeat.
"I said I'd protect her," he said in a quiet tone.
"We all did kid," Danny sighed, "we all did."
