Mafia Protection

29- The cottage

***Don't hate me! I make a small political joke towards the end.  Nothing but LOVE TO ALL Democrats and Republicans ❤️ ***

Luca's P.O.V.

Pulling up to Grant's house, I hurried and jumped out. The tracker I had on Lexi's necklace still put her at this house.

"Lucas, I smell smoke." Dad yelled.

I ran up to the door. Shooting the lock, I kicked down the door and went in. Milo was laying by the door, blood coming from his chest where he had been shot. I checked for a pulse but he didn't have one.

"Fuck!"

My men and I split up, checking the different rooms for signs of Lexi.

Kevin came out from one room, "What is it?"

"Lexi's friend, Sam. She's in that room, she's dead."

I had a very bad feeling, "The fire is downstairs." I heard Chris yell, interrupting my thoughts.

He had already busted the door down and was heading down when I got there.

We looked around the basement but it was empty.

"They must have just left, we have to get out of here." Chris grabbed my arm, pulling me upstairs with him.

We got outside, my phone said Lexi was on the move again so we all piled in and took off in the direction Grant was taking Lexi.

*****
Pulling up to a small cottage, there was a faint light coming from inside.

"Lucas listen to me, I know your natural reaction is to bust in there and grab her but it's not that simple. This guy is crazy, we don't know what he will do. Let's see if we can get a clear shot before heading in, alright." Dad tried reasoning with me.

I nodded my head. "I can't lose her, Dad!"

"I know, that's why we're going to kill that son of a bitch quickly so nothing happens to her or the baby."

On the way, we set up a plan so we all took off and got into position. I looked through the window, I saw Grant was sitting down talking with Lexi.

I got on my radio, "Lexi is in the middle of the room, Grant is close to her; I don't have a clear shot. Tom is also in there by the south side window."

Jack moved so he was right next to my side. "You can't just go in there and kill Grant, we have to do this right." Jack demanded.

"Then if I were you, I would turn around and go back into the vehicle. You're not going to want to see this." I warned.

Lexi's P.O.V.

I looked at Dad, with Lucas' guys that were outside Grant's other house and Milo not checking in, Lucas should be here right now.

"Can you turn the fire up please, I'm so cold." I asked, Grant.

"Anything for you, my love."

I cringed, "Can I get up and check on my Dad, please?"

"He's fine, but if that makes you feel better go ahead."

I got up and knelt down in front of Dad. He was sweating. "Dad?"

He opened his eyes, "Hey, sweetheart."

I jumped slightly when I saw movement outside the window.

Ben!

I looked down, trying to control my happy cry. They were here, everything was going to be fine.

"Baby, are you alright?" Grant questioned.

I had to think of something, "I'm worried about Dad, he's sweating and those cuts look like they're getting infected."

"I didn't mean to hurt him, I'll see if there's a first aid kit."

Grant went into what looked like the bathroom and I looked up from my Dad towards the window again.

I read Ben's lips, "Stay down."

I nodded.

Dad looked at me, "What is it?"

I looked to make sure Grant was still in the bathroom, "Lucas is here." I whispered.

"Did I ever tell you, I like that kid?" He said smiling, as he was trying to be funny.

I laughed, shaking my head.

Grant came out and handed me the first aid kit.

"Can I please untie his arms so I can clean up his wrists, you can tie him back up after I'm done."

"Fine, but if either of you try anything… I'll kill him. Understand?"

"Yes." I agreed.

I was still kneeling down as I untied him. I got everything out from the first aid kit when I heard a noise.

"What the fuck was that?" Grant hissed, as he turned towards the front door.

"I don't know?" I responded.

"Get up. NOW." Grant yelled.

"What? Why?"

"Is Lucas here?" He asked, pulling me up from the floor.

"How would I know, I've been with you this whole fucking time."

"I should have killed him instead of sending him to prison. FUCK! I'm not losing you, if I die so do you."

"Grant, Please calm down. It's probably nothing."

"I'm so sorry. I really do love you, baby!" He raised his gun, pointing it at me.

I heard guns going off, and the next thing I know my body collided with the floor.

Looking behind me I saw Dad with his one arm still wrapped around my waist, laying beside me.

My head snapped towards the door as it busted open. Lucas came straight to me, while Jack and the others went to make sure Grant was dead.

"Lex, I'm so glad you're okay." He cried, pulling me into a hug.

"I'm so glad you gave me that necklace."

"Me too baby!"

I let Lucas go and turned towards my dad. "Dad?"

I heard sirens in the distance as I turned Dad over, noticing he had a gunshot wound. "Dad?" I cried, shaking him.

He let out a groan. "Are you okay, sweetheart?"

I started crying, "Yes, please hold on. I hear sirens."

I laid his head on my legs. "I'm sorry, you never should have been put in this situation," he started coughing. "I…"

"Dad, Shhh… it's over now and Grants dead. We just need to get you better so you can meet your granddaughter."

He looked at me. "Granddaughter? You're pregnant?" He asked, smiling.

"Actually... I am pregnant but you also have a four month old granddaughter. You need to make it so they can meet their Grandpa."

His smile grew as his eyes started to close. "Dad, stay awake, please!"

"What's her name?" He whispered.

"Kennedy."

"Oh man, a Democrat?" He said, shaking his head.

I busted out laughing, "Oh Dad."

"You always liked that name, I bet she's as beautiful as you are."

The medics came in, removing him from my lap.

Lucas helped me up off the floor. Something wasn't right, I didn't feel right.

"Lucas?" I grabbed his arm as everything went black.
