chapter 23

Even knowing how to crack the computer code it took us a few hours to finally get into Jas and Pix's computer, find out where they were and what to expect of this gangsters who took them. Following the GPS signal installed in their ring and bracelet we arrived to this warehouse and have been waiting for the past 30 minutes assessing the situation and planning our move.

"Psst Rose, get down! I can see a car coming. Looks like we need to hurry to get Pix and Jas out of there."

"You're right Emmett, we need to hurry. Let's see ... we saw four men outside and now with this new arrival we have six on the inside. Something isn't right, they are not careful or they are overconfident."

"Well we can't wait any longer, let's just do this."

"Em, let's wait till dark and then we go in, after we knock out the four outside. That way we'll have darkness to our advantage."

"But babe, we don't know what they'll do with our friends on that time! How can we wait and do nothing if we are already here?"

"If we go in now, we have no cover and we are dead before we get in or we are sitting next to our friends … who would help us then?"

"OK, we'll wait… I hate it when you're always right."

The ride to the warehouse was nerve wrecking. The Brothers were completely silent or just talking between themselves in Italian and I could only grasp some words here and there.

"Lucas, tell me why we are having guest in here?" Aro asks me when we finally arrive to the warehouse.

"These two are the ones who moved into the house right after the girl vanished. Drake ordered us to get them. Thinking they would know more about her disappearing and help us find her."

"Why would they know more about a girl who lived in the house before they moved in?" Aro's voice was getting edgy and you don't want that happening. Think Lucas, you need to fix this.

"We saw them packing her stuff and place it in a storage unit, plus the girl's car stood in the driveway." I answer him quickly hoping he understood why we thought they know more.

"OK, I see…" he mumbles mostly to himself before addressing me again, "that can be seen as an diversion... yes."

I slowly let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding.

I feel a great need to talk and tell them everything I know, which is not much I think but these tree men are powerful I can feel it in my bones.

Maybe even high up in the mob department.

Their whole charisma is screaming DO NOT MESS WITH ME!

Maybe if I play it right I will survive this whole ordeal.

"Lucas, please close the door behind you." the quiet one suddenly tells me.

I blink trying to understand if they want me gone or for me to stay in the office with them.

I pick the former and close the door behind me on my way out. I decide to wait in the car; that way I can get out of here fast when needed and I also know less so I'm not a loose end.

I have never in my life felt so scared. I know these two "guest" are in big trouble now.

Two and a half hours later the tree brothers come out of the office, smiling. Those smiles almost make me piss my pants. It is too late to run now. I might as well try and put myself together.

"Lucas, we need another car, one that can drive in the mountains and snow. The guys picked up a phone signal out in the mountains and we are certain that's where the girl is. We'll come back for these two after we have the girl." Marcus tells me.

"Uhm yes a better car… let me make a call." I start to panic who to call? Who to call?

OH I know! Felix. I need to call Felix! I take out my phone, walk a little away from them and start dialing.

"Who is calling?" Felix answers his phone with a gruffly voice.

"It's Lucas. I need you to get a four wheeled ride for me pronto, with safety glass in it if possible. I need to drive The Volturi brothers with it."

"Jesus Lucas, what are they doing here? Those men are dangerous!"

"Shit don't I know. They killed Boss… I am in deep, real deep. But I'm trying to stay alive so please help me fast." I'm begging him now.

"I'm on it, give me an hour tops." Felix hangs up the phone.

"OK, my man said it will take him an hour tops to get us the car you need" I tell The Brothers once I've made my way back to them. I am so scared I can't even look them in the eyes.

"Is that the best you can do?" Aro looks annoyed "Well, fine and hour would do. I need to prepare myself for this, so I will take this time to do so." Aro tells me but his tone says that if that car is not here in less than an hour I'm going to pay the price.

"Your boy better hurry," Marcus whispers in my ear confirming what I fear, "in ten minutes I will be practicing my knives throwing at you."

"I'll go call him again!" I practically yell while walking away from him and his creepy smile.

"Please have a car… please have a car." I whisper to my phone.

"What?" Felix answers in a rush.

"How far are you on that car man? This Marcus guy is sharpening his knives already."

"I'm on my way now. This car has a difficult alarm system... so hold on. Where are you anyway?"

"The warehouse, please hurry…"

"GOT IT, ok I'll be there in five minutes. Stall them if you need to."

"He will be here soon, around five or ten minutes" I tell them as I walk toward the other car.

"Where are you going?" the quiet one ask me. And his tone makes the hairs at the back of my neck stand. Shivers go down my spine, this one is the scariest of the three… Caius. You never know what to expect with him.

"Uhm getting my stuff out of the car…" I ask/tell him.

"Fine."

Those five minutes are the longest ever. But I finally hear the car outside.

I start to walk to the door but a hand stops me before I can get too far.

"No, he needs to come in." Marcus tells me.

I nod. Hoping against hope they won't kill my friend, but now I know is a high possibility.

As Felix walks into the building, I notice he is nervous. He is right to be so.

Marcus tells us to exchanges the keys of the cars.

"I have no keys, I just stole this car for you" Felix tells him "you know how to hotwire a car, right?"

Without even blinking, Marcus moves and I see blood running from Felix his throat.

"Fuck!" I scream

"What? He stole a car and now we need to ride in a hot car!" Marcus tells me like nothing has happened.

"Get in the car Lucas." Aro orders me.

I am too scared by now to do anything else I can only follow them.

As we drive off into the night, nobody is speaking except to give me directions as to where to go.

It takes us about four hours to get to nowhere in the middle of the mountains, were we stop and they tell me to get out of the car.

And the only think in my mind is this is it.
