Chapter Sixteen:

Abe and his guardians spent the whole night trying to track down this Richard guy. Abe hasn't told me what's happened and what's happening now. Only that Richard might kill Scott.

I spent the whole night awake, worrying my ass off. Dimitri wanted to stay with me, but he had to go on duty. He was hesitant about it, but I ordered him to go. Jill wanted to stay awake too, but I knew it wouldn't be good for her either. So I ordered her to bed as well. Right now Jill was in my bedroom at the apartment, good way to get away from me pacing. I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was that my baby brother was missing.

It was five o'clock in the morning when Abe returned. I stormed into the kitchen where he was.

"What the hell is going on?" I demanded.

"Rose I-"

"No Abe," I growled sitting on the stool. "Tell me now. I'm a big girl now. I think I can handle it."

Abe looked at me before sighing and sitting next to me. "Once upon a time ago, me and Richard used to be partners." I raised my eyebrows at him. "Not like that. Business partners. We were actually the best of friends. But then..." He trailed off.

"Go on." I said.

"Richard had a lovely family. Good children and a beautiful wife. But as I went on one of my business runs, I got on the bad side of a man named Peterson. He is someone not to be messed with and I stupidly did. While I was on my way back to Turkey, I got a messed up call from one of Peterson's men. Telling me I better say good bye to my friend, as I won't be able to in five minutes. Panicking, I quickly phoned Richard. He picked up on the first ring, but as I was talking to him, I heard a scream and a crash and the phone went dead." I could tell this was a bad memory for him as he didn't look at me in the eye. "As soon as got off the plane I rushed to the hospital and found Richard still alive, but his family was dead. Peterson had one of his men to crash the car they were driving in, wanting to kill them all to get back at me. Richard was so in rage, he swore revenge against me, blaming me for everything. So for the next few years, he has been trying out ways to get his revenge." He did a small smile, "But he didn't know about you and Scott, well until now that is."

"How come you never told me this?" I asked a moment later.

"I was doing what I thought was to protect you." He sighed, "And look where we are now."

I grabbed his hand, "I'm sorry Dad. We'll find him."

Just then one of Abe's guardian's – Jake I think his name was – ran into the apartment. "We got them!"

We both stood up as Abe asked, "Where?"

"At an old business building, not far from here." Jake replied.

Abe nodded, "Get the cars ready, I'll be down soon." Jake followed orders and ran out of the door. Abe turned to me and said, "I'll be back soon."

Before he could get close to the door, I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! You don't think you're leaving without me?"

Abe sighed and looked at me again, "It's too dangerous Rose, he could have twenty people with him."

"Or he could not. And remember Dad, I'm a guardian, I can protect myself."

"What about Jill? She can't be left alone." Abe stated. Dick.

I quickly thought of an idea, "Give me a minute." I said as I got my cell out.

I called the first person I knew I could trust.

"Belikov." Dimitri barked through the phone.

"Dimitri!" I shouted through the phone, relieved, "I need you."

"I'm coming with you." Dimitri said as I told him what was going on.

"You can't, someone needs to stay behind and look after Jill." I said, almost pledging for him to look after Jill.

He looked at me with those dark, dark eyes that I sometimes found myself lost in. He cupped his hands in my face, making him stare at me right in the eyes. "Promise me," He said, "Promise me you'll be safe. Don't do anything stupid or reckless. Please..." His forehead was touching mine, "I can't let anything happen to you." He whispered. When he said that I felt all of my body go numb as all there was in the world was me and him. No one else. No one trying to kill my brother. No one wanting to get revenge on my father. It was just us.

Right then and there, I knew I loved Dimitri. With all of my heart. But I couldn't find the words. My mouth was dry.

Finally then, I found my voice and said, "I promise." Dangerous move Rose, I thought to myself. Knowing my, I would do something reckless or stupid. But I had to try not to, for him. To reassure him I would be fine. That he could trust me.

Then he kissed me, so passionately and gently that I thought my heart would explode.

When the kiss ended, I sighed, "I need to go. Scott needs me."

Dimitri nodded and let me go, "Be safe."

I nodded and went to the door, "I will."

I closed the door softly behind me, and kept my tears to myself. Not knowing if I'll see him again.

I never even told him I love him.

BOO! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Another cliffy! :D Come on guys, you got to love me :L

But I'm guessing you're hating me right now.

I can't say for sure that nothing will happen to Rose...we'll just have to see what happens.

So, what do you think will happen?

Will Rose tell Dimitri she loves him?

Will they find Scott in time?

Let me know!

In the next three chapters, it's going to be switched from Rose's POV to Abe's, to get the story right.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! :D
