“I want to get this shit started. It's already been five hours. They will know she is gone by now,” Alicia whines. So I guess they know about the club. I try to keep my breathing steady, and my eyes shut tight, so they don't notice I’m awake. I want to know what the fuck they are planning.
“I have to make sure everything is set and in place. I’ve almost gotten everything set up, so just chill the fuck out. I don't want to accidentally hurt the baby while I’m cutting into the bitch,” Doug sneers. I almost give myself away as I swallow the gasps that wants to escape.
Are they going to cut my baby out of me? What the hell? Who were these people, and what the fuck did they want withmy baby or me? I guess I didn't hide my reaction to well thought because I hear Doug's taunting voice come from beside me.
“Awww, she’s faking it. So how long have you really been awake, bitch?” He asks. I don't even pretend. Not giving him the satisfaction of thinking I’m scared of him or the little bitch he’s screaming with. I open my eyes and narrow them on him. It's hard when I’m lying flat on a cold ass metal table with a bright ass light shining down on me. I still manage to glare at him. Instead of answering him, though, I ask my own question.
“Who the fuck are you people, and what the hell do you want with my baby?” I ask. It’s Alicia that speaks up, though.
“You ruined everything! Dr. Adams was supposed to be mine. I went to that hospital almost every day to see him. He was finally coming around until you stepped into the picture. You walked right in and took the life that was supposed to be mine. It should be me he proposed to. It should be me having his baby, not you. But today we are going to rectify it,” she says crazily. Holy shit, was this an ex of Grays or just some psycho stalker? I swear if Gray touched this crazy ass bitch, I’m going to cut his dick off. Then again, she called him Dr. Adams. She must not even know his first name.
“I don't even know who the hell you two are,” I scream at her.
“And you don't need to,” Doug says, turning and walking to a table full of surgical tools.
What in the criminal mind's shit is this? People don't just kidnap others and steal their babies. That's insane.
“Don't mind him. He’s just someone who works with Dr. Adams. They don't get along much, so it was kind of easy toconvince him to help me with my plan. He just wants to hurt Dr. Adams and thinks going after you will do that. He doesn't know I plan to end him, too. Can't let Dr. Adams find out who was really behind this,” she chuckles almost sweetly. It's unnerving.
“What the hell are you thinking? There is no way Gray will want anything to do with you if you hurt me.” I try to get through to her. She really must be out of her mind.
“That’s why I’m going to tell him Doug here wanted to hurt you, and I saved the baby before he could. I’ll let him know I saw the wreck and followed you,” she whispers before giggling. That plan was insane and would never work. Damn, how the hell am I going to get out of this?
“Alright, we are almost ready to start. I need you to make sure you are washed up. I’ll give the bitch some drugs, make the incision, but I am going to need your help with the blood and the baby,” Doug says. He explains, going into detail on the whole process, and I try my best to tune him out. I will throw up all over the place if I hear anymore. Hey, that might be a good idea. If I can blow chunks all over the place, it won't be sterile, and it might buy me some time as they clean up. I’ve never made myself gag before, and Doug has stopped talking. He’s moving toward the table with all kinds of surgical equipment. If I’m being honest, it looks more like a shit load of torture devices. I decide now is my best chance. I make myself gag. Trying everything I can to upchuck my lunch.
“Quick, put your hand over her mouth, so she doesn't throw up everywhere. We would be fucked and have to start from the beginning,” Doug yells as Alicia hurries to put her hand over my mouth.
“Nice try, bitch, but this is happening one way or the other. I suggest you get ready,” she snarls in my face.
“I’m giving her a dose of medicine that lessens the pain but doesn't take it away. She will still be able to feel us cutting out her baby, but with this, she will be able to watch everything we do. That is, if she doesn't pass out first,” Doug chuckles, and I want to reach out and rip his nuts off.
“Just hurry the hell up. I want my baby out now!” Alicia seethes. Good thing for them she’s holding her hand over my mouth because her calling my little girl her baby has acid rising in my throat.
“Ready?” Doug taunts. He administers the drug, and I can barely tell the difference. My body just feels lax, like I’m sluggish, almost paralyzed but not quite.
Oh shit, he’s coming at me with the scalpel thingy, and my eyes widen. This is it. They really are about to cut my baby out. I feel the slice across my belly and let out an ear-piercing scream. The pain is nearly unbearable, and I rapidly feel wetness coat my lower half. I lift to see blood pouring from me and running down me. So much blood and pain. I try to keep my eyes open, just wanting one glance at my precious sweet baby, hoping and praying at least she gets back to Gray safely before the blackness consumes me.
I don't care if I die; I will endure as long as my baby girl makes it through this.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Grim
We pull our bikes up to an abandoned house in an abandoned suburb. This is where the tracker located the vest, and after Comp did some research, he found that the house at the end of the cul-de-sac was in Doug fucking Ryner. Dr. Ryner from the damn hospital. To say I am on a war path would be an understatement. I told him to stay away from my woman. I told him what would happen if he ever even uttered her name. He listened. Now the Grim fucking reaper will be at his doorstep, and it's time he pays his dues. With his life.
Luckily, the subdivision is abandoned. A few years back, these houses were prime real estate around here. People would sell their left nut to get their name on one of these. Unfortunately, the contractor hired for this project cut corners and fucked a bunch of shit up. Fucked a bunch of house owners up too. Houses would randomly catch fire due to faulty wiring. Some were flooding because the piping was put in wrong. A bunch of the houses are now sitting here abandoned. The perfect place to keep my woman but also a perfect place for me to torture this fucker, and no one will be around to here.
“Alright, brothers, the house is right up the hill on the left. Hitter and me will hit point. Grim, you come in behind us. Need you to keep your cool, brother,” Swift says, giving me a hard look. I give him a chin lift before he continues. “The rest of you will follow in behind us. Halle, I want you to get to Jade and get her out of the house.”
“Got it,” Halle says, pulling her knives from her back and holding one in each hand. Yeah, I have a feeling that once Jade is somewhere safe, Halle will be going rouge to get a taste of the blood. I can’t even say I blame her; I’m hungry and know exactly who I want.
“Let's roll.” Swift motions with his hand, and we file out, heading to the house, heading to my woman. We make it to the top of the hill. There is only one house with lights on and a black mother fucking truck in the driveway. The same damn one that ran my woman off the road. I growl, and Swift shoots me a look.
“Keep it together, or your ass will be left outside,” He warns.
Yeah, he could fucking try. My woman and kid are in that house. The devil himself wouldn't be able to keep me out. Either way, I cut off the sounds coming from deep within me. I know the best plan of action here is to keep quiet and take them by surprise. That's the only thing keeping me from storming the steps and busting through the front door. Swift gives a two-finger wave to Loki. Loki immediately heads in the direction he pointed and stealthily looks through the window before returning to the group.
“One man, one woman. They are standing over a bed with what looks like some kind of medical surgery room or something. I can't tell what they are doing from this angle, butthere's no one else in the house,” Loki whispers as he comes to stand with the group. Swift nods before turning to the group.
