Chapter71
Avery
We were sitting in the kitchen when Landon rushed in. “ Avery, You alone. Irene Bring Amelia. No one else. Something is wrong with him. The man was here to kidnap Amelia and the boss. I don’t know, just hurry”, Landon said. I ran out of the kitchen into the living room and stooped short. Jake had the man by his shirt and was punching him.
“Landon Grab him now”, I said, walking over to him.
Landon tried holding him but he couldn’t. I grabbed his hand and kept calling out to him. When I told him Amelia needed him, that seemed to do the trick. After he walked away, Landon just looked at me.
“I know he can get angry but. I’ve never seen him react like this before. I tried stopping him three times before I came and got you. It was like he was possessed or something”, Landon said.
“I’ll handle him. Can you take care of him”, I said, nodding at the man lying on the floor, covered in blood.
I headed up to our room, I heard the shower, so I pulled my clothes off and got in with him. He knew I was there but didn’t turn around. “I’m sorry if I scared you love but... hearing him say... he was...”
“You felt like you zoned out, didn’t you? You lost all rational thought and lost all control”, I said. He turned around and looked at me. I caressed his face. “No one will ever get to her, they’ll have to go through both of us. I will probably react worse than you did, but I know you would never let anyone hurt us. Your reaction has proven that”. I said
“I need you, and I’ll probably hurt you”, he said, grabbing my throat.
“Take what you need Love, I’m yours”. I said, in one sudden move he grabbed me, picking me up off the floor and slamming into me. “Oh Fuckkkkkk”. He had one hand around my throat as he continued thrusting into me. All I could do was moan. He marked my neck, my breast everywhere he could. It was like he was possessed. When he did let go of me, he seemed calmer. I stood looking at him. “If I have to kill Morisson I swear to go I will. But this ends tonight”, he said.
“Go ahead. I’ll stay with Amelia tonight”, I said. He leaned over and kissed me. Then he left. I knew without a doubt he would lose it. I got dressed and headed down just in time to see Landon Leaving. “Landon”?
“Yes Mrs. Wood”?
“Watch him and be careful all of you”. I said, looking at him.
“We will, Mrs. Woods”. He said as he left. I headed to the kitchen, and we sat and ate dinner quietly. After dinner, my father left and went to bed. Cassy fell asleep, so Irene took her to bed. Amelia was asleep, but I didn’t want her out of my sight. There was double the amount of security details around the house and somehow, I felt uneasy with him here.
“Andrea and I sat in the living room quietly watching time drag on. I know she was worried about Landon. Hell, I was worried about that insane husband of mine. Around Eleven, Andrea went to bed, and I stayed there with Irene.
Jake
I knew I was rougher than normal, but she didn’t complain. On the way to Brighton, Landon was quiet. “Sorry for Scaring you”, I said.
“There is something about having a daughter that makes a man lose control when they are threatened. I would do the same for Cassy”, he said.
“When we get there, make sure no one reveals to the two individuals that I am actually the son they are looking for”, I said, and he nodded.
We parked a good distance from the mayor’s Place. I didn’t want to confront him head on because we don’t know if he has people watching my mother and sister and if we were to do that, he could hurt them. We used the empty lot at the side and made our way to the back of the property. Daryl was on the lookout. When he gave the signal, Landon hooked up the ladder and climbed over. We went over the wall one by one.
He has security but not nearly as half as I did. I guess he thought it was because he was the mayor, and he didn’t need much protection. We used the flower bushes as cover and made our way to the house. When we got into the garage, we saw multiple cars covered. We checked them. “Boss, this is the car. The cousin showed me a picture of it”, Landon said, walking around and lifting the cover. The front of the car was dented.
Landon was in the lead; he opened the garage door slightly and motioned that it was clear. We headed in, we could hear voices. That sounded like Morisson. Teo and the others spread out, making sure he didn’t have any security guards in the house. We stopped around a corner and we could hear Morisson. “WHY THE FUCK ISN'T ANYONE ANSWERING? I sent that fucker to do one job. How fucking hard is it to kidnap a fucking baby? These two incompetent whores aren’t answering either. Fine looks like I’ll have to do everything my fucking self. Maybe Woods would appreciate his mother’s fucking head”.
I was about to move, but Landon stopped me.
“Russel, prepare my car for me. I’m heading out. ALONE YOU FUCKING NITWITT”
We went back to the garage and out the way we went in, through the side door. We made our way back to the back of the property. We could see Morisson walking out towards his car, so we picked up speed. When we got over the fence, Landon called Daryl and told him to tale Morisson. We got back into our cars and Daryl gave us directions.
We turned off all the lights. When we pulled up to the location, Daryl was waiting for us.
“Boss, he’s in there. There isn’t any security detail”, I looked at it. It was an old lighthouse. The same place Avery was kept by his woman. I took the gun from Landon and walked over. I took my time going up the slope. Landon and the others were behind me. When I made it to the top, I heard Morisson yelling. I didn’t want to hear anything. His back was to the entrance, he didn’t see me. I stopped for a second. I knew her. She works for me, she was the one that got shot instead of Avery. Suzanne. I showed her to be quiet. I shot Morisson in the back, and he fell over, he tried using the gun, he pointed it at Suzanne and the woman I shot him in his hand. I walked over to him and kicked him over. The minute he saw me, he started laughing.
“YOU… YOU AND THAT FUCKING BITCH KILLED MY RENEE; YOU KILLED MY ZACH”
“Your Renee was evil, so was your Zach, and so are you. You want to kidnap my daughter? You want to kill my wife, okay? Landon”?
He walked in and looked at me. He looked at the two women in the cell and I could see the shock on his face. “She works for me, right”? I asked him.
“Yes boss”. I looked at Suzanne and the woman. “Why are the two of you here”?
“He... he told us he had found my brother, and we believed him, but he locked us here. Why are you here, Mr. Woods”, Suzanne asked
“He sent someone to kidnap my daughter and kill my wife, so I followed him. Landon, get them out of there and send them to a hospital”, I said.
Morisson was about to say something, so I used my foot to cover his mouth. After Landon got them out, Teo came in. “Teo. Dispose of this gun make sure all links to us are gone. Let’s leave Mr. Morisson here and see how he fares”, I said, smiling.
We tied his hands and feet up and chained him in the cell. We searched him and took his phone and everything else and tossed it in the ocean. We locked it and left him there screaming. “Get rid of the car”, I said.
“Okay boss”. When we got down to the bottom of the hill, Landon was waiting there.
“I sent them with Daryl. I told them not to say anything about what happened. Suzanne said they wouldn’t. Are you it's them”, Landon asked.
“I don’t know, but I’ll let Avery find out”, I said. When we got home it was close to four in the morning. The minute I walked through the doors I saw her. She was sitting there waiting for me. I walked over to her and kissed her. I picked up my daughter and took her hand and headed to bed.
