Chapter Twenty Eight
Cyrus
As Grim and some others ride away on their bikes to follow the van that takes Drew away, I hold the Chaser called Hammer, and continue to bring my fists down onto his face. I drum punch after punch into his nose, enjoying the shouts of pain that come from him.
“Where are they taking her?” I shout into his face, hitting him again and again. Hammer’s head falls back and his face is painted a blood red. “Tell me!”
I’m suddenly ripped away from Hammer, and I thrash about, fighting off whoever dares to fucking pull me away from the bastard lying on the floor. I’m the one who shot him down as the fuckers tried to back away with Drew. I couldn’t let them get away with it. I didn’t want to watch them as they took her away. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t do something.
“Calm the fuck down.” Zane barks at me as I’m still fighting him off.
I see Grim, Devlin and Grinder get on their bikes with some others and chase after the van that takes Drew. I want to go and bring her back but I want to take the two Chasers to the club’s warehouse to try and get some answers from them. I know the men are fully capable, but just in case I want to make sure I’m trying my hardest to bring Drew back.
Baby is calling his dad and updating him while Scrappy and I load Hammer and Grubby into the back of the van that the prospects have just arrived in. Grubby moans, clutching his stomach as blood pools out around his hands.
“We might need Doc to check on him and make sure he doesn’t die before we get any info.” Scrappy adds as he slams the doors shut. I agree, banging my hand three times on the side of the van, signalling for the prospects to take them to the warehouse.
“We better go and face Prez first.” I sigh, walking to my bike.
Zane shakes his head. “I fear for you brother.”
I grit my teeth and ride away. I’m sure Prez will give me a battering when he sees me, seeing as I was in charge of looking after his daughter and I let her slip away. Nothing he says would make a difference though because I already feel like shit. I hear the members following behind me as I watch the van carrying the Chasers turn left as I continue straight. I would prefer to follow the van and beat the shit out of those men but I have to go and report to Prez.
Understandably, when we all arrive Prez is pissed. You can practically see the flames coming from him when we enter the clubhouse. “Where the fuck is my daughter?” He booms loudly.
“Grim is following the van Prez.” I answer and his face screws up even more.
“She shouldn’t be in a fucking van!” The clubhouse shakes from how loud Prez is yelling.
“Hammer had a fucking gun to her head dad!” Baby shouts. “What were we supposed to do?”
Prez stands there for a few seconds and then asks me what happened. I go through every detail. From Drew pretending to be ill and me going along with it to see what she was planning. “I should have just stayed with her.”
Prez shakes his head. “It wouldn’t have made a difference, my daughter always gets her own way. Always fucking has done.” He rubs his forehead, sighing loudly. “Bloody stubborn girl and look where it’s got her!”
I turn around and begin to walk towards the door but Prez asks me where I’m going. “To get some answers from the fucks we have tied up in the warehouse!”
Prez and the others follow me. I hear Baby telling his dad what Drew did to Grubby and Burner before she was taken and he laughs. “That’s my girl.”
I can’t laugh though because I need to see Hammer and Grubby so I can beat the shit out of them and find out where Drew is so I can bring her back safely.
Drew
The van skids to a halt and as soon as it does, the doors slide open and I’m roughly dragged out. Suzy then follows as she’s pulled out by her wrist by another Chaser. He hooks his arm around Suzy’s shoulders and secures her to his side.
“So proud of you Suzy.” He kisses her forehead and while Suzy cringes from the kiss, he smirks at me. “I see you met my old lady.”
“Old Lady!” I shout, looking at Suzy but she’s too busy looking down at the floor.
“Suzy gave us some quality information and in return, she got to be Twists Old Lady.” Burner informs me before throwing me over his shoulder.
“I had to make her mine when I found out she’s cooking a Chaser.” Twist says, stroking Suzy’s belly and my heart drops.
“You’re pregnant?” I gasp but Suzy still doesn’t look at me. It seems her anger has developed into shame.
Burner then carries me inside the creepy looking, run down building we’ve pulled up to. I lift my head, trying to get a good look at the place, there’s a fence all around with Chasers guarding every entrance but that’s all I can pinpoint. What’s depressing though, is I can’t hear any bikes riding towards us to come and save me and there’s no sign of the gun shots that I heard inside the van. No sight of my family anywhere. Nothing useful at all. I punch down on Burners legs, trying to hurt the place I stabbed him as he limps inside. I thrash about as much as I can, hoping he will drop me and I can make a run for it. I’m unsuccessful though and Burner slaps my arse as we climb some creaky stairs. I can hear loud music in the background, somewhere in this old building and lots of laughter.
A few men nearby fall silent when Burner carries me by, apart from one. “We’re so fucking lucky to have a Kings bitch.”
“She’s sexy too.” Another adds. “Bet she looks even better when she’s bleeding.”
“You hear that your highness?” Burner sneers. “Listen to all those men who are looking forward to having some fun with a King slut.”
“Well they can fuck off!” I scream as Burner reaches the top of the steps.
“If you weren’t a Kings bitch I’d want you as my own Old Lady.” He laughs, searching for a door and I freeze. I don’t want that at all. Burner begins to laugh. “Don’t like that idea, do you? Maybe I’ll do it then, to make you suffer even more.”
“Shut your fucking mouth.” I snap. “My family will find me and they will kill all of you fuckers!” I begin to laugh when I think about when my family will arrive and end all of them. Burner enters a room and throws me down. Luckily I land on a mattress but it still hurts when I do. “You’re so stupid! My brothers will torture you until you die and the Redgrave brothers are here with them.”
Burner’s face turns furious when I laugh even more and he leans in close, slapping me across the face. It sure does end my laughter and it stings like a bitch. I glare up at him as he growls. “You’re deluded! You’re staying here and being made into a Chaser whore. Our brand new toy.”
Twist then arrives with two others. “You need some extra attention after what you did to Grubby and Hammer!”
Burner then grabs some rope from the corner of the room. It doesn’t miss my attention that there’s some blood stains on it when he ties my wrists together. Twist and his friends have to hold me down for him to be able to do it. They remove my boots too, but I make sure to make it hard for them, kicking and screaming the whole time. I even land a kick to Twists face and the look of shock on his face is enough to make me giggle. Twist doesn’t like this, so I earn a harsh punch to the face and all of them just laugh.
“Tie her fucking ankles.” Burner orders as his phone rings in his pocket. “Venom?”
I listen in as he fills Venom in on everything that has happened tonight. I feel so fucking stupid that I didn’t see this coming. They knew all along who I was and that I was trying to fool them. I look back at how I was acting and what I was saying and cringe.
Twist finishes with my ankles and comes right up close to my face. “I wonder what you would feel like to slice?” He sickly smiles.
I glare right back at him. “Get the fuck away from me.”
“You haven’t got an old man now bitch. Maybe if you’re lucky, you can land yourself with a Chaser?”
Twists words make me feel sick. “Never.”
“If you wanna live, then that’s your only option.” Burner finishes his phone call. “Venom says you can either be raped here in this room until the day you die, or become a Chaser Old Lady.”
His words scare me to death and the men’s laughter only adds to it. I shake my head, hoping and praying that this will all be over soon. “I’m going to love watching you all die at the hands of my brothers.”
Burner storms over to me. His face screwed in anger as he painfully back hands me right across the face so hard my neck snaps to the side.
“Remember who you’re talking to bitch.” He growls and they all storm outside, leaving me alone in the dark and dirty room.
***
My eyes snap open and I quickly look around the room, making sure I’m alone. I can’t believe I let myself fall asleep. I tried to stay awake as long as I possibly could. I didn’t even notice myself falling asleep. I can’t afford that luxury here.
Just then the door creaks open and I prepare myself for Burner and his friendly back hand, but it’s Suzy who pokes her head around the door. She quietly closes the door behind her and creeps over, looking at me with wide eyes. “Oh no.” She whispers, looking me over and shaking her head.
“Admiring your handy work?” I ask her.
Suzy frowns down at me. “I’m so sorry Drew. I didn’t want to do this.”
“A bit too late for that, isn’t it?” I laugh despite my position.
“I didn’t see a way out and after just twenty four hours, I told them about you and said I would help.” She cries.
They raped her for that long?
“I get why you did it.” I admit to her.
Suzy’s eyes widen. “As soon as Twist told you about the baby, it was like I snapped out of my anger and everything came tumbling down. I was so ashamed. I’m so sorry Drew. What can I do to help?”
“Get me out of here?” I ask her straight away.
Suzy shakes her head desperately. “I don’t think I can. There’s guards everywhere. I almost didn’t make it here but I had to see you.”
“Try to sneak a phone and come straight back.” I think. “You could ring them?”
Suzy doesn’t think she can do it, but after a little begging she nods and leaves me all alone again. I do worry about her when she’s gone. I’ve just put Suzy at risk to help get me out of here. Suzy hasn’t been gone too long before she returns and she waves a phone about in the air as she tip toes over to me. “Twitch was in the shower and left this on the bed.”
I breathe a sigh of relief, telling her my dad’s number and to quickly ring him and let him know where we are. When Suzy talks to him, she also advises that there’s a lot of men and gun power which I know my dad will appreciate.
“Thank you.” I sigh in relief when she hangs up and places the phone on the floor.
“I owe you.” She smiles.
“Why didn’t your brother help you?” I ask, he is after all a tough fighter at the Black Ring. He should have protected her from this.
Suzy sadly shakes her head. “He’s a Chaser now and doesn’t give a shit about me. I think he was lured in by drugs so that I was easier to trap.”
“That makes sense.” I nod, agreeing with her theory. “The Chaser’s love to trap people into the club.”
Suzy thinks on that for a little bit. “It would have been nice to have a family like yours to protect me.”
“Come with me.” I urge her. “When they come, you have to. We can look after you.”
Suzy breaks out into a huge smile. “Really?” And I nod. “Drew, have they hurt you?” Her eyes scan my face, and then my body. Worry all over her features. I shake my head but then wince when Suzy gently touches my cheek. “Sorry.”
“I should be the sorry one.” I sigh. “Being my friend put you at risk.”
“No, my brother should have had my back but instead he was high off his arse with a pair of saggy Chaser whore tits in his face.” Suzy frowns and I can’t help it, I laugh and then Suzy joins me.
I look at Suzy’s belly, not that I can see a bump. I bet she’s not that far into her pregnancy.
“Suzy?” I ask. “Are you really pregnant?”
Suzy looks me right in the eye and bursts into tears. “Oh my god.”
“Shit, I’m sorry.” I feel a little awkward while she quietly cries. It’s even worse that I can’t hug her or anything because I’m still tied up. I would ask her to untie me with the knife I still have hidden under my skirt, but I don’t think now is the right time. I’ll wait for her to stop crying at least.
“Don’t be.” Suzy sniffles and looks down at her belly. “I don’t want it. As far as I’m concerned this is the devils baby. It was created by rape and because of that, I will never love it.”
“You might.” I try to calm her. “The baby is half you.”
“That doesn’t matter.” Suzy shakes her head, now glaring down at her stomach. “I will always resent it, remembering when I was captured by these bastards and raped until I could no longer bare it. At least I know who the dad is.” I think back to what Suzy had said and I’m a little confused because she had said that she was raped by multiple men, so how can she know Twist is the dad? “I know what you’re thinking,” Suzy smirks. “Twist was the only man to have sex with me, the others thought of other ways to torture me. You don’t have to be fucked in the pussy to call it rape.”
At that, I cry and Suzy gently wipes the few tears from my sore cheeks. “I’m so sorry Suzy.”
“It’s not your fault.” She sweetly smiles.
The sudden jolt of the door opening makes us both jump. Burner scowls at the both of us and I’m left fearful for Suzy when his eyes fall on her.
“What the fuck are you doing here, Suzy?” He demands to know.
Suzy heavily breathes through her fear and then gathers her strength from fuck knows where as she sits in front of me, blocking me from Burner’s view and sitting up straight. “You can’t hurt her.”
I hear Burner chuckle and it frightens me. For myself and for Suzy.
“And how are you going to stop me?” Burner asks with a growl.
I want to scream at Suzy and tell her I have a knife, but we hear footsteps coming up the stairs. They’re loud and with every one Suzy flinches.
“That’s Twist.” She whispers to me when Burner is busy informing Twist what’s happening inside this room.
“I have a knife.” I quickly whisper back as Twist enters. I look at my right thigh, trying to tell her it’s strapped under my skirt. She follows my line of direction and turns back to the men as Twist barks her name.
“Come here!” Twist demands, pointing to his feet.
Suzy sighs, looking back to me and slipping her hands under my skirt, trying to get the knife.
“You need to get out of here!” I shout at her, trying to cause a distraction so the men aren’t curious as to what she’s doing.
“Shut the fuck up!” Burner shouts.
“Suzy!” Twist barks again, ordering her to his side. Suzy looks at me with wide eyes as she tucks the knife into the sleeve of her cardigan with a shaky hand. She slowly turns and faces them, but doesn’t move an inch.
“Let her go.” Suzy begs them. “I will do whatever you want if you let her go.”
Twist laughs. “But you’re useless! You’re only good for keeping my dick warm and breeding.” When Suzy still doesn’t move, he storms over and roughly grips her arm, pulling her to her feet but the phone she had just used to call my family falls to the floor with a deathly bang. There’s a moment of silence where I see Suzy drop her head in defeat and I close my eyes in preparation for what’s about to happen.
“That’s my phone!” Twist shouts and I open my eyes to see him right in Suzy’s face, his hand firmly gripped around her arm. “What the fuck are you doing with it?”
“Nothing.” Suzy quickly answers. “I found it and was bringing it back to you.”
“Fucking liar.” Twist glares as he snatches the phone from the floor and scrolls through it. “So what’s this number you called twenty minutes ago then?”
“I don’t know.” Suzy shakes her head.
Twist redials the number and puts the phone to his ear. Suzy and I listen in dreaded silence. I hear my dad’s deep voice from the other end. “Who’s this?”
“Who the fuck is this?” Twist shouts and I’m guessing he doesn’t like the answer as he throws the phone across the room and it smashes against the wall. Both Suzy and I jump at the sound. Twist turns to Burner, fury written all over his body. “She fucking called the Kings!”
“Fuck!” Burner yells.
Twist shoves Suzy to the floor and she screams when she lands with a thud. Twist glares down at her, shaking his head. “I don’t want a traitor as an Old Lady!”
“I didn’t want to be your Old Lady anyway!” Suzy screams right back.
At that, Twist gets even angrier. “You bitch! I don’t want you breeding my kids now!”
Twist pulls out his gun and points it right at Suzy.
“No!” I sob.
“Quiet!” Twist yells at me and then looks back to Suzy.
As frightened as she must be, Suzy looks right back at Twist and doesn’t back down. “I don’t want your disgusting babies anyway.”
A scream escapes me as Twist points the gun at her head and pulls the trigger. I almost see it in slow motion as Suzy’s head jerks back as the bullet pierces her head. Her blood sprays on the walls and she lands on the floor. I cry as the blood pools around her head, mixing with her hair and Twist steps back proudly.
“Stop fucking crying.” Burner sighs.
But I don’t stop. I continue to cry as I look at my friend, lying lifelessly on the floor. Even as the sounds of panicked men filters up to us. A Chaser arrives at Burner’s side, out of breath from running so fast. “The Kings men are here!”
Very quickly, Burner rushes over to me, throwing me over his shoulder and making fast on getting me out of here. My stomach hurts as Burner runs down the stairs but my tears are for the old friend that I’ve just lost. The panic all around me is a blur as I keep picturing what just happened to Suzy. I’m thrown into a van once again, Burner’s voice booming as he demands the men in position. I hear him mention Venom and their President are on their way with more men to help. Apparently we’re meeting them somewhere. Burner gets into the van with me, along with Twist and some others that I don’t know.
I feel the glares from the men inside the van as we speed away, but I ignore them. Watching Suzy killed that way has numbed me and I don’t care about the men surrounding me. I can hear the men running scared because my brothers are here. I know they have it all under control so I can sit and mourn my friend. I can hear them talking, but I don’t pay them any attention.
A searing pain across my cheek brings me out of my fog and I clutch my cheek. It feels wet and when I bring my hand away, it’s covered in blood. The men laugh but Burner is glaring at me.
“We ought to have some fun while we’re trapped in here.” Twist sneers, watching the blood trickle down my cheek. One of the others grabs onto my knees and tries to separate them but I fight him off as best as I can with my hands tied together. The men just laugh as they try to hold me down. Burner leans over me, one hand on his zipper as he pulls it down and grabs onto his dick.
If it wasn’t for the van rocking, I would have seen his dick but thank god for that. The driver and passenger in front begin to shout and panic as the van bumps and swerves some more.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Asks Twist, shouting to them.
“The Kings are here!” The driver yells back and a great big smile spreads across my face.
“What are you smiling about bitch?” Burner frowns down at me and then once again back hands me.
“My family is here.” I smile. “And they’re going to kill you.”
“Shut the fuck up!” Burner screams, the van swerves and makes us all slide around.
“They will make it a slow and painful death.” I continue. “Most definitely torture.”
A scream comes from the front of the van and the passenger yells that the driver has been shot dead. The van begins to spin and we’re thrown everywhere. Banging into each other and having no choice but to endure this deathly ride.
Cyrus
As soon as Devlin shoots the driver we all watch in horror. The van turns in circles over and over, never fucking stopping. We know Drew is in there and it’s fucking hard to watch. I wish I could stop it but if any one of us got in the way of that van while it was spinning like that, it would no doubt kill us.
“Shit!” I yell as it heads to a dip in the road. The van tumbles down, rolling down the hill out of control.
We all run over to watch the scene we would rather not be happening. At least with Drew inside. The van hits the bottom hard on its side and I wince, dreading to see the sight inside the van.
“Get these fuckers out of here!” Prez orders, pointing at the lifeless Chaser bodies littering the road. “Doc? Where the fuck are you?”
Doc runs over as we run down the bank, trying to get to the van as quickly as possible. We all have our guns aimed and ready at the van, just in case the men inside want to play games. Prez hasn’t though, he runs towards the van without a single thought for his own life. He’s determined to get to his daughter and bring her to safety. We all are. I’ve never been so fucking scared in my life and I’ve been through some scary shit but none of them compare to this feeling. I don’t like it. Drew has to be alive, there is no other option.
Prez is the first one to reach the van and goes to open the back doors, but they don’t budge. Devlin and Baby check out the front, confirming that the men sitting in front of the van are dead and that we only have to worry about getting Drew out. There could be men in the back with her and I don’t like that thought at all. Not where the Chasers are concerned.
With Grim’s help, father and son manage to open the van. “Drew?” Prez shouts as soon as they’re open. “Drew?”
It’s fucking dark and we can’t see into the van that great. There’s just fucking shadows and the slight noise of someone moving, but we don’t know who the fuck that is. Scrappy steps forward and shines a torch inside and what we see has us both furious and terrified. Twist is on his knees, blood dripping down his head while he glares at us all. He can fucking scowl as much as he wants, but it’s the fact that he’s holding Drew against him with a blade to her throat that freezes us all.
“Get the fuck off my daughter.” Prez growls.
“Let me go and I will.” Twist grumbles.
Drew has her eyes closed and her body is all floppy. Not a good fucking sign. She has to be unconscious because none of us want the alternative to the true. Blood trickles down her head from a cut I can’t see, thank fuck Doc is right here.
“Like fuck we will!” Grim shouts.
Devlin steps forward and Twists blade gets even closer to Drew’s throat. “Get the fuck off her!”
“Like I said,” Twist grimaces. “Let me go and I will!”
My gun aims at Twist, I can’t fucking stand this any longer! I need Drew away from the knife and a safe distance from Twist. He must be insane if he thinks any of us would let him go after this. Scrappy’s torch reveals that there are more men in the back of the van, but none of them are moving just like Drew, or perhaps they’re playing dead and not being stupid like Twist.
I take a step forward, so I’m now beside Devlin and Prez. My gun ready and aimed right at Twist and I see the fucker register me. I take another step forward, clenching my jaw and trying to bring down my anger but the more I look at his filthy hands on Drew it just adds to my fury.
“Get the fuck off her!” I growl. I no longer care about the men behind me. All I’m focused on is Drew and getting her away from Twist. I notice from the corner of my eye that Grim tries to stop me, but Zane puts a stop to it. He knows what I’m capable of and trusts me to do this.
“Then let me go.” Twist repeats his deathly song.
I chuckle slightly. “You see, that’s not going to happen. Not only did you take her away from me, but you’re holding a fucking blade to her throat!” I yell at the top of my lungs. So loud that I see Twist jump.
“I can’t” Twist argues and a rumble from deep inside my chest escapes and Twist doesn’t look so fucking sure about himself any longer.
“Twist.” I say his name, thinking him over. “I’ve heard of you, raping and tormenting helpless women. I hate rapists. I really fucking do.” I shake my head, everyone is so quiet as they listen. “Have you heard of me?”
Twist frowns. “Who are you?”
“Oh sorry.” I laugh sarcastically. “My name is Cyrus.” I nod. “Cyrus Redgrave.”
At hearing my last name, his smirk falls and dread fills every centimetre of his ugly face.
“Oh, so you have heard of me.” I smile. “I’m glad, because now you know what my passion is. I love to torture men who fully fucking deserve it. Whether it’s raping, kidnapping or even just threatening those close to me but you’ve just gone and done all three and you still hold a knife to Drew’s throat. I can’t wait to get my hands on you.”
I look to my brother and with a second of eye contact, he knows what to do. Zane raises his gun, distracting Twist and I take that chance. With one bullet left, I aim it right at Twist, hitting him right in the shoulder. He falls back slightly and as he does, Zane and me charge forward and capture Drew. As I carry her from the van, the others charge inside and secure whoever is in there. I look down at Drew, not liking the amount of blood covering half of her face. She has a slash across a cheek and developing bruises which pisses me off even more. I want to run over to Twist and fucking kill him, but my focus right now is Drew. After worrying about her overnight, I’m so fucking relieved to have her in my arms.
“Drew?” I whisper but she doesn’t move.
“Is she breathing?” Prez rushes over, Doc right at his side.
“We need to get her out of here.” Doc orders, just as a van driven by the prospects pull up and we carry her inside.
Prez pushes the prospect out of the way and gets behind the steering wheel and I jump in the back with Doc. He looks shocked to see me but then turns his focus to Drew. I turn to see Zane standing there and he lets me know he will take care of my bike and I nod my appreciation. He then closes the doors and Prez doesn’t waste any time in driving to the hospital. I shine a light on Drew as Doc takes a closer look at her, shaking his head as he takes a look at her head injury and removes her tied wrists.
“Is she going to be ok?” I ask.
He turns to look at me, sighing as he nods his head. “I think she will be, thanks to you.”
We don’t say another word until we arrive at the hospital. Prez rips open the doors and I don’t even think about it as I’m the one to carry Drew inside.
“Help please!” Yells Doc as we enter. People give us a wide birth as we run through the doors.
Nurses run up to us, asking what’s happened and Prez looks dumbfounded. Not surprisingly because this is his daughter, so I step in and tell them she’s been in a car crash. A bed on wheels appears and they gently place her on top, rolling her away and we follow them quickly. That is until they tell us to wait, pointing to a group of chairs before disappearing through another set of doors. The three of us wait in silence. My leg twitches
Prez gets a call and I try to listen into as much as I can, but when he cuts the call he tells Doc and I the details. They’ve cleared the site and took care of all the bodies. Two men inside the van are alive and they’re taking them back to the warehouse, Twist included. At hearing that, I turn to leave and reach into my pocket for my phone.
“Cyrus?” Prez asks.
“I have to go to the warehouse.” I send a text to Zane to come and get me.
Prez approaches me, now talking quietly. “I think you need to stay here son.”
The doors that they took Drew through then open and we all turn to see a nurse. “Drew is going to be fine.” We all breathe a sigh of relief and she smiles sympathetically. “She won’t be awake just yet though as she has a mild concussion and a few bumps and grazes. She’s very lucky.”
In the distance I can hear the nurse go on to say that they will clean her up because there’s so much blood on her face from the impact of the crash. All I can now think about is going to visit the fucks who did this to her. I look over my shoulder and see Prez watching. As I begin to walk away, he gives me one single head nod and I know he understands. I have to do this. I need to fucking beat the shit out of the men that did this to her. I won’t be able to face Drew until I do. My fists clench as I leave the hospital. Impatient to get my hands dirty and as I wait for my brother I picture every way I can torture the fuckers.
