Chapter 122
Third Person
~ 2 weeks ~
Two long and painful weeks since Ella was taken from them. The boys slowly going crazy during her absence. An absence that was hard to fill without their star.
Grant, Hayden along with Alanna all at a loss of what to do. Having thought that Alanna’s little pep talk the week prior would somehow sorted them out but didn’t.
The guys basically hiding within each of their rooms only to leave when required to eat. Mrs. Foster doing her best to help them as well but ultimately refused her too. Kris currently visiting both Grant and Hayden. Kris worried about her friend once learning what happened the night Reece and Dylan had left on business.
A part of her shocked that Hannah would stoop as low as she did. To try and rape Dylan in order to hurt Ella. A tactic that would have worked too if Caleb hadn’t noticed how fake the photo actually was. Caleb quick to call Reece, who in turn moved to handle her.
And while Hannah was now off hiding in her own little world, Kris’s main concern was now on the mole. A mole they’d yet to find. Alanna currently with Grant, Hayden and Kris as they all move to gather within the living room. Neither of them wanting to be caught when making the call.
“Do you really think it’ll work?”
“It has to. After all, I’ve exhausted all my possibilities. And for that I’m not sure what else to do in order to get their ass’s moving into gear.”
“She’s right Grant. There’s no other choice. We have to call in the big guns now.”
Sighing, Grant and Hayden both move to nod their heads over to where Alanna was. “Do it. If you honestly think this will help them then do it.”
Quick to nod her own head does Alanna move to take out her phone. Her fingers quick in calling the one number she hoped she would never have to call. The phone answering within the first ring.
“Talk to me Alanna.”
With shaky breath, Alanna moves to answer her Boss. “Sir, we have a problem.”
“No shit Alanna. Yet here I was wondering when you or my idiot nephews would finally cave in and call me.”
Confused by the words does Alanna move to look towards Grant and Hayden. Both in which shrug. Both equally confused as well. Alanna about to reply back only to be stopped by Rian.
“Come now Alanna. You along with Grant and Hayden should know by now that I always come prepared. Sure, I might not have seen how my niece was taken from the property but you of all people should know that I wouldn’t sit idle for long.”
“No Sir. Of course not Sir.”
“Yet I sense a but”
“It’s just… How? How did you know that we needed you?” asks Alanna. Her need to know rising as does Grant and Hayden. Rian quick to chuckle as he moved to reply back.
“Come now Alanna. You of all people should know that I too have my own people on the inside and I’m not just talking about you, Grant or Hayden either.”
“Then who Sir?”
“Don’t worry about that. You three just worry about Ella and her stubborn men. As for me, I’ll be there in 20. Watch for me. Oh, and Alanna?”
“Yes Sir?”
“Happy to know you didn’t die. I’d hate to have to replace you if you did.”
Shocked upon hearing those words does Alanna move to reply back. “Thank you Sir.” Alanna unsure how else to reply other than that.
“Don’t mention it. Now stay sharp. I’ll be there shortly.”
“Of course, Sir.”
“Good”
And with that said Rian moves to hang up the phone. The phone suddenly silent even as Alanna moves to put it away. Each of them wondering if having Rian know was a good thing or a bad thing for when Rian knew it was never a good thing. Something he made sure you knew as well.
~ 20 Minutes Later ~
It’s exactly 20 minutes since Alanna last spoke to Rian and exactly like promised does Rian manage to arrive right on time. Rian one of the select few people within the world to ever break a promise. For when Rian said one thing he meant it. Never a man who broke the rules by showing up late to something he deemed important.
So it’s not totally surprising when Alanna, Grant and Hayden soon find themselves each standing at the front door of the house as Rian moves to enter along with a handful of men. Men who were nothing like Grant or Hayden or even Alanna. No, these men were trained killers.
Men who were taught to kill on sight. Men who were known for what they did within the Irish Mafia and if you didn’t value your life then you learned to stay far enough away from them as possible.
Rian quick to enter the home. His eyes quick to study his current surroundings before speaking. “Where are my nephews?”
Swallowing nervously does Alanna move to answer. “There each upstairs Sir. They rarely leave the safety of their room as they continue to search for Ella.”
Humming softly in reply does Rian move to take out his phone. His fingers quick in typing a message. A message that would get the attention of Reece, Dylan and Caleb and have them present before him if they knew what’s good for them. The message quite clear.
“GET YOUR ASS’S DOWNSTAIRS THIS INSTANCE OR SO HELP ME I’LL COME UPSTAIRS AND YANK YOUR SORRY ASS’S DOWN HERE PERSONALLY. NOW MOVE IT!”
Rian quick to put his phone away as he moves to wait for the one’s he texted. Reece, Dylan and Caleb each hurrying to present themselves to their uncle for if it’s one thing they knew, it was never to piss off a family member. Especially one with connections to the Irish Mafia if you valued your life.
