Dangerous Love

Chapter 5

Tension and anxiety filled the cars air. Davina felt like her heart was going to explode. She was putting herself in such a dangerous position for Nadia. She had to see if she was alright. Davina couldn't stop playing with her curly hair that was tied up in a pony tail. She had to do something g with her hands. Darcy was driving, Andreas was in the passenger seat while Lucas and Davina were in the back.

"What do you think they'll do?" Davina asks, interrupting the silence.

"I think we will have such a lovely chat." Darcy sarcastically says, not helping at all.   The silence continues until the car slows down in front of an abandoned warehouse.

"Eliot sure knows how to pick places." Andreas says.

Davina was a little confused on how he knew about Eliot but after all he is Darcy's most trusted friend. Darcy, Lucas, Andreas and Davina step out of the car. A stench filled the air. There was no sign of anyone being here but Darcy took the lead walking into the ware house. Dead plants and weeds surround the building. It was hard not to step into a puddle but they finally made it to the front door. Lucas was the one to reach forward and open it. It made a loud creaking sound alerting whoever was here that we are present.

We all pulled out our guns and held them close, fingers near the trigger. Inside it was dark except for the few flickering lights. There were large piles of stuff covered by sheets and stairs that lead to a platform over looking the area. Something about this place was chilling.

The group of 4 stayed close together, Darcy looking straight ahead, Andreas to the left, Davina to the right and Lucas behind them.

"I don't think anyone is here, Darcy." Davina announced with hesitation.

"And here I thought you were more observant than that, sweetie." The 4 move their guns to point at Eliot who was in front of Davina, moving out from behind a pile of stuff.

"Eliot. Where's Nadia?" Darcy questions. Eliot's smile at Davina turns into something evil as he heard and looked at Darcy. His body tensed and his fists clenched.

"That's not how this is going to go old man. First of all, you're going to give me what I want and I won't kill you." Eliot growled as he took a few steps toward Davina. Davina steps back into Lucas and grabs his hand in fear. Eliot stops walking and looks down at the pair holding hands. His green eyes looked at Davinas, which were widened in fear.

"And what is it that you want?" Darcy asks interrupting Eliot looking at Davina.

"What I want is you dead. But we can't have what we want all the time. Instead I'm demanding you to leave this city. If you piss me off I'll make you leave the country." Eliot demands.

"That's not going to happen. We have a whole army, we could destroy you." Andreas yells. Now that they got Darcy to speak to Eliot, Davina was hoping to see Nadia.

"What do you think I've been doing for the past 8 years? I've been growing the Hartley mafia to lengths you cannot imagine. We are stronger than we've ever been." Eliot yells, causing Davina to take a step back again into Lucas' arms. Eliot stares at them again,"Aren't you 2 cute. Here I thought you were an available woman, Davina May." Eliot smirks.

"That's none of your business, but we aren't together." Davina snaps back. Eliot smiles and nods at the answer.

"Back to the topic. Leave, or I'll get rid of you all." Eliot says.

"Again, not happening." Darcy replies. Eliot scoffs and whistles. Suddenly heaps of men and women came out of corners, the dark and the piles covered by sheets. They had guns bigger than ours and hey were all dressed in black, again.

"This is only a fraction of what I have in store for you if you don't leave ." Eliot yells. Before anyone else gets a chance to say anything, Darcy whistles in a different pattern to Eliot's and through all the entrances came men and women from the Desmond mafia. There were few compared to the Hartley's but we had them surrounded. It was a fair fight. Eliot was shocked and confused on what the next moves were going to be.

"Davina, darling. Why don't you get your people to fall back or I'll get my people back home to kill your little friend." Eliot says looking at Davina. Davina opened and closed her mouth like a fish, not knowing what to say.

"You know, you and Darcy are a lot alike. With your little whistles and getting your people to fight." Davina built up the courage to say.

Eliot's smirk turned into a face of fury. Davinas eyes widened at the sight. Eliot marches forward causing the other main 3 to get their guns up at him but were stopped by 6 of the Hartley men. The rest of the Desmond mafia took cover and started to shoot or fight the Hartley's. Throughout all this chaos Eliot grabbed Davinas arm and dragged her towards an office. Lucas and Darcy were yelling for her whilst also fighting the 2 men who grabbed hold of them.

Eliot threw Davina on the floor of the hidden office which was small and the lights were dim. The gasps and cries from Davina filled the small room while Eliot closed the door in anger.
