A few hours after those men left Clara, she remained in the basement, occasionally trying to break free from the rope but failing to do so. She heard the door open and looked up to see one of the fixers holding a plate of food.

"I brought you some food," he says while setting the plate down in front of her. The plate held a plain turkey sandwich and beside it was a bottled water. The man went behind her and pulled out a switch blade. He held it towards her back.

"I'm gonna untie you. If you try any of your moves on me, I'll stab you. Do you understand?"

Clara was hesitant, but she nodded in response. He cut the rope that held her arms together before doing the same with her feet. Clara didn't bother to fight him. She felt too drained and wore out. Once she was free, the man got up and left the room. She was left alone again.

Clara sat up and gazed down at the food. She didn't want anything they had, but she was starving. She lifted up the bread and made sure there wasn't anything weird in it before picking it up and hesitantly taking a bite.

Not wasting another second, she took another bite ans within a minute, she had wolfed it down. She drank about half the bottled water before setting it down and taking a deep breath.

Even though only a few hours went by, it felt like forever to Clara. She feared Aiden had already fallen into a trap. What if he was dead? She shook that thought out of her head. She couldn't bear the thought of him being dead. She knew her handa and legs were free, but she didn't know how she would escape. The door was locked and there were no windows anywhere.

For now, she was stuck here.

Aiden and T-bone made it to Brandon Docks, but they didn't see anyone at the entrance. They immediately knew something was wrong, but before they could process what was happening, Aiden's car was showered by bullets. They both duck down in time before the car's windows were destroyed.

Aiden popped his head up once the bullets came to a halt. He could see fixers hiding behind cars, reloading their guns. Aiden sped away as fast as he could, but of course the fixers got in their cars and sped after them.

"I knew it was a trap!" T-bone growls before pulling out his rifle. "I'll cover you!"

As the fixers inched closer, T-bone took the opportunity to fire at the fixers. He took out two cars and he saw more coming.

"Damn it, they just keep coming!"

T-bone managed to take down the cars by either shooting at them or blowing up a steampipes. The threat was gone. T-bone slouched back in his seat while wiping a piece of sweat off his forehead.

"Thanks for your help," he says sarcastically.

"I was driving," Aiden stated.

Once they both caught their breaths, reality hit Aiden.

"They fucking tricked us," he grumbled angrily, "No damn surprise."

His cell phone began to ring and he knew all too well who it was. He pulls out his phone and yelled into the phone, "Where is Clara?!" He was about to lose it.

"Did you really think we're going to let you get away woth the shit you just pulled?" The man's tone was serious. "You've got another thing coming."

"Put Clara on the phone," he warned through gritted teeth.

The man paused for a moment, "You really want to talk to her?" He says almost menacingly, "Fine."

Aiden and T-bone could hear a door opening. Aiden had already pulled over on the side of the road to hear better.

"Hey, sweetheart. Your boyfriend wants to talk to you."

"Aiden?" He could hear Clara's voice from a distance.

"Clara?" His voice was filled with worry.

Ray found himsef worried too. He recognized her accent

"Now, now," the man interrupted, "After what you did, what do you think it's going to cost your precious girlfriend here?"

Aiden grew nervous, "You stay away from her."

"Oh you have no right to tell us what to do right now."

Suddenly, they hear movement. It sounded like multiple men were in the room she was in and one of the men had apparently gotten hit. What happened next almost made Aiden's heart stop. He heard Clara scream in pain, but it only lasted a few seconds before the call ended.

Aiden's mouth gaped open. He grew silent. What did they do? T-bone took action and grabbed qhold of Aiden's phone and began tracing the call. He managed to fix the signal and track her to an old building.

"I found her!"

Aiden jolts his head sideways and looks at his phone. He saw her name on the phone screen and wasted no time starting up the car again and taking off. He speeds down the road, ignoring beeping horns from other cars. T-bone turns to Aiden and notices his panocked expression. He was breathing heavily and his eyes never left the road.

"We're going to find her, Aiden. Alive," he says reassuringly.

Aiden didn't answer. He didn't know for sure if she was alright. He couldn't lose her again. He just couldn't. They made it to the building and they saw dead guards outside the building. They quickly got out of the car and pulled out their pistols before entering the building. They were greeted by more dead fixers.

"What the fuck happened in here?" Ray said, looking as confused as Aiden did.

They saw an old rusted door that looked to be kicked off its hinges and there were a set of stairs that led down to the basement. Aiden and T-bone cautiously made their way downstairs and yet again, they saw four men that looked to be killes by stab wounds, lying on the floor. There was a rope sitting on the floor.

"Clara could have been in here," T-bone says, "Where the hell is she now?"
