Chapter 27

DPOV

I have never liked planes. They were suppose to speed up the traveling process, but I swear they never did. Flying always made time go slow. I had once discuss this with Rose, she hated flying too. There was something about drifting slowly, well to us it was slow, among the clouds that Rose and I hated. She had said it was the fact that the plane was so enclosed, she felt like there was no air to breath, and you became a prisoner to the clouds. I thought it was because when you traveled your thoughts always lingered on why you were on the plane, it was always anticipation. You needed to get somewhere and fast, but it was never fast enough. The feeling that you could not be there now, smothered you and there was nothing you could do about it.

I smiled at my thoughts, no matter how serious and in the zone I was I could not get Rose out of my mind. She took over all my senses, she made me feel like a man. Though many would say she made me weak, I would have to disagree with them, I had never felt this strong in my entire life. I finally had a purpose, a place where I could be me and not have to worry. Before Rose I was an empty shell of a man, emotions were few, and I worked to just work. I did anything for a paycheck, and was alone all the time. Even with Tasha I refused to get close, aside from the fact that she is insane. I just could never find a connection with any other human being. I sometimes questioned whether or not I was truly human and not a robot that just acted without feeling. I killed, I stole, and I cheated people of the many things they had. In a way I felt no better than Abe.

I had never thought of those lives I took, of the people I harmed. It was all a blank slate. I only thought of the job at hand and I never took into consideration what would happen to those surrounding the job. Looking back I could not help the bile that came up my throat. I was horrified at the monster I use to be. I had told Rose everything about my past, but she had managed to forgive me for it. She said that since I was trying to be a better man that things would work out. I had stared at her in wonder, how could someone like her come into my life. I told her the truth and she could look past it, she could see me for me and tell I was not happy with my past. Where I could not forgive myself, she could. I had spent a good month trying to forgive myself, and just when I thought I could she was taken from me. I could not, no would not forgive myself until I had done her right. I had to get her out of that hell, before it swallowed her whole.

I did not think I could go on without her, she was my life. Forgiving myself felt impossible now, seeing as I had let harm come to her. How could I possibly forgive myself when I had once again let harm come to an innocent. I had to try though, because I knew that is what Rose would want me to. Plus if I kept dwelling on the past I would never be able to have a future, let alone a present. It was not easy but it was something I was working on. This slow, torturous plane ride would serve as the right time to think all of these things through. I had about 6 more hours to find inner peace. I had no choice, I had to do it or I would never be able to get Rose back safely. I needed to focus, getting caught up in the past would make me mess up, and we could not afford to mess up. Her life was too important, too precious.

"She's always been so strong. When we first left I could have sworn she would turn around and give up." Christian sat next to me with a far off look. I couldn't help but be in awe by the look of wonder in his eyes, wonder at who Rose was, and what she mean to him. They had left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Yes it was true that she had taken some of Abe's money, well a lot of his money, to help them out in the future. But still they did not know what to do. And yet they made it this far. And they had done so well.

"She stood tall and grabbed life by the horns and went. We both knew what would happen if Abe found us, but it was worth the thought of being free. Leaving with her was the best thing I could have ever done. She gave me everything I needed. I had been in a dark place." He looked over to me making sure I completely understood what he was saying. "I thought I was a horrible person, a vile human being that no one could ever love. Rose showed me I was so much more, no matter my mistakes. She did that to you too. Don't lose hope. I know she hasn't."

"Thank you." It was all I could say to him but he knew what he had done. He had given me the assurance I needed. That push to do what was right. It was not easy but I needed to forgive myself. I was no longer that evil man, that emotionless creature. I had done what I had to give the choices I was given, but at least I knew I had done wrong. I could now spend my life doing right and hope to god that it would somehow make it for it all. I would live my life doing what was right, and Rose would be there right by my side to help me through it all. I knew she was the one and only woman for me. When this was all over was going to ask her to marry me. I was going to plan a future with her, and it would be perfect.

The rest of the flight, surprisingly, pasted by quickly after that. I think it was because we did not have a complete plan, we were once again going into the unknown, and time was not on our side. As soon as we landed I turned on the phone to see Boris had called. He left a text message saying he had found the information needed and that he would meet us in the hotel we planned on saying in about an hours time. I knew after he informed us we could formulated a perfect plan. I had long ago given up making plans, but I knew this situation called for one. We could not just show up there with no plan, it would end with us getting killed. No way helping Rose, and those others that needed saving. This was the situation to plan, and I found myself thinking like I use to.

I had noticed Eddie breathing deeply as we entered our rental car. Christian, Adrian, and Lissa took the back seat so Eddie was seated next to me as I drove to our hotel. I knew he felt guilty about what had happened, he had once been Rose's friend, but he could not have done anything about it. Being forced into this life was not pleasant, it meant he had lived a horrible life and everything had been taken from him. It meant he did things against his will, unlike me who always had a choice. He was holding all the blame on his shoulders even though he had done everything he could. His life was worth saving, whether he thought so or not. He had lost so much in his young life, I would have to do everything to make him see this. I was going to save his girlfriend and friends no matter what. He deserved that much. It was the least I could do, maybe in a way it would make me feel better about everything I had done in my lifetime, I had to start somewhere so I would start with this.

Lissa checked us into the hotel, and had somehow gotten us fake I.D's and passports so Abe would not be able to track us. When I asked her where she had gotten them so quickly she said she had a good friend names Sydney who owed her a favor or two. I did not question it any further, I knew Lissa still resented her past, but she was willing to dig into it to save Rose. Although Lissa's parents were nice people they still did bad things, they may have not deserved to die, but it was coming sooner than later for them. That kind of life catches up to you, I knew that all to well. Lissa and Christian had a room next to Eddie and I. When we walked in Eddie clasped onto his bed, and stared at the ceiling. It was time we had a talk. I sat up on my bed and stared at the wall.

"You know it's not your fault." I heard him sit up quickly and inhale deeply.

"How can you even say that. I went into that house, gun and all, with intent to get Rose and bring her back. At one point I didn't even care what happened to you. You were a target, in the way. Nothing I would even care to let live." He sounded desperate, sad, and angry. I knew the feelings all too well. I had been exactly where he was. He just needed to see that he still had time to fix everything. He had a girlfriend and friends he cared about, he could start by helping them.

"But you didn't. Christian told me you stopped. You surrendered to them even though they could not have stopped you." I turned to face him and wait for his response. It took him sometime to collect his thoughts, but he soon did and began to talk again.

"I've known Rose for so long. Abe had my parents make me be friends with her. Something about her never being alone. But I always liked her. Always wanted to protect her. She seemed so small and vulnerable. I knew she deserved better. She would make small comments about getting away. And I shared her wanting of it. Though I never told her. Mason felt the same way. It's why we never told Abe about it. She trusted us, and we could not break that trust. When Rose ran away, I saw her, at the train station with Christian. I never told. I wanted her to get away. But when Abe found out I had been there, my family paid the price." He stared into my eyes, and I could not help but feel bad for the boy. He had helped Rose but had lost everything in order to do the right thing.

"Afterwards I just gave up. For the last 2 years plus I have done everything I have been told to. I never asked questions, or even thought about what I was doing. That was until I met Jill. She changed it all for me. Gave me a reason to fight again. Its why I could not finish the job with you. Its why I surrendered. Jill taught me I was better than that." His eyes bore into mine and I nodded. I knew exactly what he was talking about when he mentioned Jill. Rose had opened my eyes as well. I had not lost my family but I had lost myself.

" Boris will be here soon. I don't want him around Lissa or Christian. Do you mind joining me?" He quickly agreed and we both got ready to meet him.

We told Boris to meet us in the diner a few blocks away. Although Boris was helping us I could only trust him as far as I could throw him, which was not very far. The man was a tank, and completely unstable. Too many bad things had happened in his life, and as much as I hated to say it he was too far in to be saved. I knew he would help me and stay on my side, his hate for Abe far surpassed the hate for anything else. Abe had messed his entire life up, he had taken so much away from him and as far as he was concerned Abe was going to pay. Abe had made one too many enemies and it was not going to end well for him. It never ended well for men like him, though he though of himself as a good, his ruling days were coming to an end.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Eddie was playing with his napkin as we wanted for Boris, we had arrived 15 minutes early in order to scout out the place.

"Yes." I looked over to Eddie and saw he needed more assurance. "Boris is just as fed up with Abe as we are. He may not walk off into the sunset with us, but he wants Abe just as gone as we do. He will help us, he doesn't want others to lose what he has."

With that Eddie let it go. We sat in silence waiting for Boris, and I was not sure what to expect. Boris and I had worked together many times but none of it was through friendship. We had used each other to get information, we had simply gotten what we needed and gone our separate ways. It was odd to unite with him for a common purpose, I still had doubts about trusting him. I had to push those aside though, he was going to give me something I needed just like I was going to return the favor. My main concern was not Abe, it was Rose, and also Eddie and his friends. Boris could do to Abe as he pleased, I just wanted to get out and fast. The door opened and I knew it was Boris that entered the place went silent.

"You always did know how to make an entrance." Boris barely smiled and sat across from me.

"I see you haven't changed either Dimitri. Always bringing me something new and exciting." I nodded and knew this was as far as friendly matters would go. I pointed to Eddie.

"This is Eddie. He has people in the mansion as well that we need to get out." Boris nodded in understanding. "So what do you have for me?"

"Here's the address." He slid a piece of paper my way. "And this is the house layout. With all trap doors, and hidden passages." He then slid a flash drive my way. "I was expecting more guardians, but he's trying to stay low. I think he's hoping no one knows he's here. On that drive you will find where cameras are. Where guardians are posted. And where they are keeping this said Rose of yours."

"I am so assume you are coming with us?" I did not even have to ask the question, Boris was coming whether I wanted him to or not.

"Of course. I am going to be your distraction."

I nodded and then our planning began. We were going to need all the help we could get, and Boris was more than willingly to help. I couldn't help but see the spark in his eyes, this new determination to get this job done. This was more than just a job to him, this was closure. Boris was going to make Abe pay for everything he did to him, but in a way it was like he was doing this for everyone Abe had ever hurt. At that point I knew we would be unstoppable, Abe would never know what hit him. I was going to get my Rose back, and I was going to get my happily ever after.

So what do you think? Don't you just love Eddie? Will the plan work? Review! Please!
