Stronger Together

Chapter 9

Leo's POV

It was about 6pm and i tried to sleep, to take some rest but I couldn't I was like the devil for past few days. I didn't know what to do. Everyone around me told me not to search for Rare, she doesn't need me or my help. And they would ask me why am I doing this. I would reply by telling them that I want revenge because that was the only thing I could think of as an excuse.

I remember when I was a kid that I couldn't let her get hurt. Even though she didn't need my help, I would later go up to those people who tried to hurt her and hit them, till they passed out.

After she ran left me. I couldn't take her off my head, I just couldn't. I felt empty, I felt that I won't meet her again. And that kind of scared me.

My parents, grandfather and my sister started staying here. I don't know why but ya. My sister was back to normal. And my grandfather didn't say anything when I was still searching for Rare. Deep down I knew that he still cared for her. I don't know why but he should me hating her but he isn't.

My men have been searching for Rare but couldn't find her. We would always end up at a dead end. She didn't even get detected, it's like she was wiped off the face of the earth.

'Ugh this is so frustrating'

I started hearing a commotion and I grabbed my guns from my night stand and placed one behind me in my pants and the other in my hands and I walked out calmly.

I walked out of my room and I looked down. I can see my whole living room from where I'm standing and there she was the person I've been looking for the past 4 days.

"Rare"

Rare's POV

We all were surrounded a table.
"What have we got?" I asked loudly

"All those who had important jobs to do were either killed or replaced" Drew said as he looked at me with seriousness in his voice. He place pictures of those who work for Simone now "Most of them have serious criminal records" he continued. I look at them, I recognized some of them.

"I'm guessing he bailed them" and he nodded.

"What about Igor? " I asked.

"He's still in Russia.  He's doing some dealings over there. He is partnered with Simone" Nicola said while going through her computer. "And there are more in this partnership but no one knows who all " she added.

"He's not taking protection from the Russians but some else. Don't know who" Dawn said.

"But can be from Russia. I'll asked some friends to help me to find out about who is protecting Igor" dawn spoke again.

Igor is kind of like a one man show. He doesn't work as a group, just himself. He does good deal with people and he gets befiets out of it, like protection.

But these other people who are a part of their partnership who can it be. Looks like Simone as chosen people who I completely don't know personally. It looks like Simone has been planning about taking over for a long time.

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard 'De Luca' , I pulled my self out of my deep thoughts and everyone was looking at me.

"You said something? " I asked.

"Umm ya I don't think I can still do the divergen thingy because it's getting out of hand" Nicola said.

Nicola has been distracting the De Luca's by putting fake clues out there. It's been hard because he wouldn't give up on searching me.

I sighed "We are going to go over there tonight"

They stood up and they started packing their stuff.
