"You're right... I mean you're wrong... No I mean-" He cuts himself off. By the look in his eyes, I can tell he's fighting with himself. He sighs, only this time it's from exhaustion. "I do need help. And I can't keep doing this to myself. I'll go crazy if I do. You're right, I do need to be honest with you. If anything, you should be the last person I keep secrets from. I'm sorry I've been worrying you so much. It's just I've been trying to protect you."
I smile, thanking the universe or whatever else is out there that he figured that part out on his own. "You can tell me anything." I reassure him.
"Promise me you won't freak out... much."
"I promise."
That's when he starts explaining everything. I can't help but zone out as he begins to apologize for not telling me sooner.
Oh my gosh.
This is so much bigger than I was ready for.
Chapter 25: All My Ducks In a Row
EPOV
She threw a vase at me.
And took off with my car.
Swearing like a sailor the whole time.
To say she took the news badly would be an understatement.
BPOV
Turning onto Willsburg Rd I finally let my mind wander into thoughts of tonight.
I don't think I reacted well.
Then again, how does someone react to... 'news' like this?
I shouldn't have acted like that. All this time, I've been trying to act less like a child and more like an adult. Then I go and have a temper tantrum, and over what? All because some fool was trying to give me a fresh start.
Yes, I'm mad at him. As ** as I can be. But the anger I hold for him doesn't even compare to the anger I feel for myself. I let everything I've learned out here go out of anger.
I sigh, shaking my head.
I drive for what felt like hours until I finally reach my destination.
Well, what my GPS claimed was my destination.
Jacob's house.
I needed to hear from him what exactly is going on, how horrible this situation actually is. Edward would sugar coat it for my safety. But Jacob... Jacob would say it to me straight. And right now, that's what I need.
Cleaning up the remainder of my tears, I quickly hurry to his front door before I change my mind. Knowing me, I'll chicken out.
I knock, wait, and knock again. I don't care how long I have to wait, I am not leaving without answers.
Not this time.

"Gianni?" I called, annoyed
"I'm sorry, so sorry Sir," she repeats, racing down the hall toward me.
"I shouldn't have to call you more than once." I tell her sternly, staring her down.
She nods fearfully.
Gianni has worked for me since she was 15. Like Jacob, it was her daddy that got her into this mess. Brainless addict only had eyes for one thing and one thing only. Another hit. He gave away everything to me. He even sold his only daughter. Now she works to pay for her daddy's addiction.
It's not like I have any other use for her, so it's either that or death.
Seems like she wanted the better deal. Fine by me.
"I want an exact estimate of the amount of money owed to me by Mister Black, as well as the address of Miss Isabella Swan."
By the expression on her face I could already see a problem. "But- but Sir, who should I send the address to? Riley no longer works for you."
I hesitate before answering. "Send out Scott and Benji. They'll know what to do."
"Are-Are you su-re you want to send out Scott?" she stutters.
I narrow my eyes at her. "Why wouldn't I want to send out Scotty?" I ask, hating how someone with such low authority would question me.
"Well... it's just - Scott is known for being overly violent and if you're hoping for a-"
I laugh, cutting her off. "My dear, that the very reason why I am sending Scott."

Minutes.
Hours.
Days.
I have no idea how long I've been in here.
I've screamed, cried, and shouted. And with each aching sound I've made, only an echo answered back.
I've kept wondering whether I am dead or not.
If I were dead, this couldn't have been heaven. It had to be hell.
"Can you believe Riley?" laughed a raspy voice.
"That little **, couldn't even get the job done." joked another voice. This one being higher, possibly an Indian accent.
I wanted to shout out so badly that I was here! That I was alive, and to help me. But a voice in my head kept telling me to keep quiet.
I heard footsteps stalk toward me. I tried unsuccessfully to stop shaking.
"Stop moving you little -!" One of the men screamed, kicking me in the ribs. I let out a painful cry.
I heard a car start before darkness took over once again.
The Next Day
GPOV
I was disappointed to see my men come back empty handed.
"Did you finish the task?" I asked.
"The house had nothing, it was obvious the girl was just getting by," Benji started.
"Alright, then she must have some other residence here," I said.
"That's what we thought. So we revisited Jacob's house. She was there talking to his roommate, Brad." added Scott.
"So they both know he's gone. Well then, we could use this to our advantage."
Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed this update.
