"I can't believe us right now." I said as I grabbed my jeans from across the room and put them on. Rex laughed slightly as he sat back down on his chair. I walked outside to go to the bathroom and the girls gave me weird stares like they knew what's been going on in their bosses room. I fixed my hair up, ignoring the judgemental stares I've been receiving.

I gave them a bitchy smile and winked before walking back. "I spoke to Harvey this morning." I said as I closed the door behind me and sat in front of his desk to the chair. "He said he'll help as long as you sign the contract and clear them." I said calmly and turned to the side to see him better.

He was watching me way too closely.

"Rex." I warned and he grinned before dropping it. "Yeah, sure. I'll only sign the deal we were talking about though." He sighed as he opened his phone to text people and I sat back as I watched. "Why don't you send Kelly back to Romania?" I asked since he gets pissed every time she's around.

I would too if someone pushed a no that much.

Today we are going for Gavin's father who is actually probably the best when you compare him to the rest of the list and I've heard that he was absolutely pissed because his son didn't return back.

Apparently he found out that I took him and Elias was pretty upset as he explained that so I didn't really keep the topic going. They had a large warehouse so we would probably send the crudes in first, I don't even know why we had to go and find the guy ourselves. But Rex insisted that we should get the leader alone back here and Harvey agreed with him.

We heard a knock which broke the silence and turned to look that way. Cameron poked his head in. "Harvey and his son are here-. Oh hey." He waved and I smiled at him. "Call them in then moron." Rex rolled his eyes and I smirked. "Fix your hair or something. It looks exactly like someone's been running their hand through it for thirty minutes." He smirked at me and fixed it a little bit.

The door got knocked again before it opened revealing Harvey and Elias. I got up and sat on the couch as Harvey took my place. Elias sat next to me and didn't bother going into the argument. "Are you coming today?" He asked as he swung his arm around my shoulder and I nodded. "I don't know if I should though."

I was feeling really good physically until I came here. Now I have trouble walking but I don't think that'll be a big bother.

"You could go home if you want, it's okay." I shook my head and waved. "No, I want to be there. It's been a while since I kicked ass." He chuckled lightly and so did I. Rex signed the papers Harvey brought after reading all of them carefully. He looked so good as he focused on his work and narrowed his eyes as he read like he was thinking a thousand different things.

I bit my lip as I watched him and he stared back at me for a second before he narrowed his eyes and slightly smirked. He turned back to Harvey and surprisingly shook his hand before they all got up. "We're leaving." Harvey said as me and Elias also stood up. Rex walked next to me and held my hand as he locked his office door from outside.

Harvey and Elias had already left to go to the car as me and Rex walked outside. "The warehouse is full." I said questioningly as I sat in the passenger seat of his car. "They're not the only crudes I have, Arabella." I nodded as I wanted to drown in my stupidity. He's the best of course he has fucking crudes everywhere.

"They basically got everyone. But they couldn't find Reid." He sighed before opening the door abruptly and getting out. I followed behind him quickly and he extended his hand for me to take.

I held onto my gun as we walked into the empty looking warehouse, almost everyone left since there was no one here. "You sure he's here?" I asked and Rex looked around. "I'll check. Don't move too far." I nodded as he left and also decided to look around. Should I look around as well or just wait till Rex is back. He hasn't checked the left side, maybe I should so we can leave sooner.

Where could a full grown man hide?

I walked further to the left side and checked the gym first. "Reid..." I sang as I walked and decided that he probably wouldn't be here. I walked outside and checked a few other rooms before my eyes landed on the ruffled carpet. I ran up to it and heard a voice below the ground I was walking on. I threw the carpet away and saw a lock on the ground large enough to fit someone through. Oh my god.

I breathed heavily as I looked around to find something I could close his escape with. I found a heavy chair and dragged it on top of the place.

I walked quietly to the place I came from till I was far and started running to the entrance. "Rex!" I started yelling and no voice came back. I ran over to the right side trying to compose myself and breathe deeply. But he was no where to be found. I stopped running and ran back to the entrance before I walked back to the place underground.

Would there be a huge room down there with people? Or just a small room only with Reid? I picked the lock and heard a beeping voice which made me smack my head. Fuck.

I turned the handle till the door opened upwards and stood up to see if I can find something or someone. There was nothing visible from the dark lighting so I eased one leg and another down and gripped on the sides of the doorframe till my feet reached the ground. I had my gun in my hand and I was about to fire to the dark silhouette but they beat me to it.

A gunshot was fired right to my fucking leg.

"Fuck!" I yelled out as I collapsed and took off my jacket quickly before wrapping it around my leg in a hurry. I gripped my gun and noticed that he was trying to fire another shot.

But he didn't have any ammo.

I threw my gun outside so he wouldn't be able to get a hold of it. "You fucking bitch." Reid came up to my face and gripped it tightly. "You fucking ruined everything I planned." He slapped me across the face and my head moved to the side.

Right now wouldn't be the best time to provoke him.

"Arabella fucking Idris. Rex Rosetti's side piece, always in everyone's fucking business. I was going to take Rex's place alongside Lorenzo before my dumbass son opened his big mouth." He said as he paced around the room.

I noticed that my tummy hurt bad.

I tried massaging the weird pain I just got from my lower stomach but it wasn't going anywhere. "Now, I'm going to kill you." He said viciously and I couldn't take my hand away from clutching my stomach.

"Rex will torture you. I've seen his rooms below the warehouse before. Are you sure you want to end there? You could kill me right now and will the consequences be worth it, Reid? Harvey, Elias and Rex Rosetti. Is it worth having all them want to get a piece of you?" I asked and he just glared at me furiously.

"What the fuck." I muttered after whimpering as I felt blood rush out from my pants. I'm not on my lady time... I just got it two weeks ago.

The next second I heard another gun shot and a howl that wasn't from me this time. I saw Rex's men rush down here and Rex following behind. He frowned as his eyes landed on me and picked me up.

"Take me-... To the hospital Rex." I said tiredly as I rested my head on his chest. It took a while to get out since he had to place me outside first then climb up before picking me up again.

If what I think is true, then I think I'm going to see the Devilman once again soon.
