Chapter 14
Lauren could not believe that they had been through a lot in the past few weeks and they were still going through it. She really hoped that what her father had said was not true that Steve was okay. She dialed Chin's number and after five rings he finally answered it.
"Hey Lauren, what is going on?" Chin asked her.
"Have you heard from Steve?" Lauren asked him.
"Yeah. He is still here in the office. You want to talk to him?" Chin responded to her. He could heard her sigh when she knew that he was safe.
"Sure." She responded to him.
"Just give me a few minutes." Chin responded to her as he got out of the chair and walked over to Steve's office. "hey Steve, Lauren's on the phone."
"Okay." Steve said as Chin gave him the phone and left the room. "babe, what's wrong? Why did you not call me?"
"I tried and there was no answer and then I got a message from my father." She revealed to him.
"What did it say?" Steve asked her.
"Hold on, Let me put you on speaker and then I will read it to you. He said "I hope that you said goodbye to your prince two days ago because he won't be coming back to you, my daughter". Steve I was so scared." Lauren responded to him.
"Don't worry, I am leaving work right now with Grover and Danny. I will have them follow me home." Steve responded to her.
"I love you please be safe." She responded to him.
"I will be babe. I love you too." Steve revealed to her.
Steve knew that he needed to find Lauren's father and find out why he sent that text message to Lauren. He walked to each of their offices to have them come out there.
"So what is going on?" Danny asked his friend.
"Lauren got a really weird message from her father saying that he kidnapped me and she would not see me again." Steve responded to him.
"Grover and myself can follow you home to make sure that you are safe." Danny revealed to him.
"Thank you." Steve responded to them. "I am going to get the number from Lauren's phone and then text it to Kono so that way we can trace the number."
Steve, Grover and Danny left the headquarters to find that there was someone sitting in the truck bed. Steve walked over there with the boys in tow. Steve got closer to find that it was Lauren's brother.
"Why is your dad here?" Steve asked him after a few minutes of small talk. Lauren's brother was only 18 and Steve trusted him.
"Because he wants to see Lauren pay for taking Michael away from our family. My dad wants Michael back and he wants Lauren out of the way." her brother responded to him.
"So my team needs to protect Lauren and Michael from another thing so be it. Tell your dad, I will make sure that he pays for hurting Lauren." Steve responded to him.
"I am not sure if that is a good way to do this. My father will hurt me if I say this." Lauren's brother said to him.
"I know. I don't know how to get that message to your father. I will find him and when I do, I need you to be out of the way. I don't want you to get hurt." Steve said to him. "I need to get home and talk to Lauren."
"okay. Thank you Steve." Lauren's brother responded to him.
Steve got into his truck and headed home with Grover and Danny following right behind. The boys talked about the morning and Danny told him to stay put until someone from their team was with him.
Steve walked into the house to find Lauren waiting for him. The minute that she saw him, she ran over to him and they ended up spending a few hours together.
"Are you okay?" Steve asked her.
"Yeah." She responded to him as she gave him a small kiss. "I just wished that this will stop doing this. I just want to have a normal life."
"I know babe, we will be getting back to normal." Steve responded to her. "We need to talk about something. It is about your father."
"What about him?" she asked to him
"He is coming after Michael. He is upset about you leaving town to move out here. He wants to see you hurt." Steve responded to her.
