Isabella's POV
Nicholas loaded the gun with the gun faced down.
I looked carefully as the car stopped in front of him and 2 men came out of the car while only one had a gun
Nicholas quickly shot the armed one on the leg and he fell to the ground throwing the gun away in process. The man without the gun panicked and tried to leave but Nicholas shot the tires and the car didn't move even with the panicked guy's desperate attempt to escape.
He pulled the other guy out of the car and hit both of them with the gun until they lost their consciousness.
He took out his phone to call someone and in only a matter of time, i saw Carlos meeting up with Nicholas and taking the unconscious bodies in his car.
Nicholas came back to the car and unlocked the door getting inside.
"You okay?" He asked me and i nodded unable to form words
He shot a men and technically kidnapped two but that didn't scare me for some reason.
He quickly buckled his seat belt and drove to the city while Carlos followed us behind.
None of us spoke but the silence was more of a comfortable one. Even after everything, i was glad to be safe and be with him.
"Wait Nicholas" i spoke after a while and Nicholas looked at me for a brief second before turning his eyes back on the road
"How did you know where i was?" I asked him clueless and noticed his fingers around the wheel tightening, his knuckles turning white
"I just got the location of the public telephone you called from" he said after a while of thinking
I remained silent for the rest of the drive as i analyzed the situation
"You can stay at your place for now, i will visit you later" Nicholas said stopping the car in front of my house and i unbuckled my seat belt
"Can i come with you?" I asked him after a moment of consideration
"What? Do you even know where i am going?" He asked a little annoyed and i looked at him
"You're taking those men to a place where you could maybe torture them until they tell you who ordered them to kidnap me" i spoke confidently and noticed Nicholas's confidence slipping away until his face turned pale
"Isabella where did you-"
"I happen to remember this. I don't know how but i feel like I'm starting to remember a lot of things" i said cutting him off and he kept silent for a moment
He turned the gear to drive and i quickly buckled my seat belt. An adrenaline rush through me as we drove to wherever Nicholas was planning to take those men
20 minutes later, we stopped in front of a building that looked pretty much abandoned but still pretty new
Has to be his go to- i thought to myself as we got out
Nicholas held my hand firmly as he led me through the dim lit hallways and we stopped in front of a room
"Do you want to go in?" He asked me and i nodded
"I want to know who wanted me dead" i spoke and Nicholas gave my hand a tight squeeze before opening the door
I entered to the sight of two men tied to the chairs bleeding heavily
This same sight of me minus the blood came rushing to my mind and a sudden anger rushed through me
Nicholas grabbed a vacant chair and sat in front of them with me standing behind him.
The men lifted their faces to look at him and i carefully observed them
"You can tell me quickly and we can skip the torture part" Nicholas said in a cold voice but the men remained silent
"Painless death is a blessing to people like them" i repeated the words that rang through my ears and all three faces looked at me with surprise
Nicholas smirked while the other two started sweating
"She's right" Nicholas said and the men panicked trying to untie their knots
"Shh. That's not going to work here" i said getting annoyed by their loud voices and they gave up the idea.
"Listen. Im not telling you anything. You can kill me" one of the man spoke calmly and Nicholas leaned back in his chair
"You know your life doesn't matter to whoever you work for. What matters is that we gave you a chance. A chance to speak and spare your lives. But now that you've shown us your lives have no worth for you as well, there's no reason to keep you alive" i spoke calmly
"You're bluffing. You won't kill me" the man said with an evil smile on his face
"Don't tempt me" i said through gritted teeth
"If you kill us, who's gonna tell you about our boss?" The man said once again and i smirked at him
"It took him 5 minutes to track the location of a public telephone, it'll take him 10 minutes to track your warehouse and your boss" i said pointing towards Nicholas and the man's smile started to fade.
"I will count to 3, tell me or-"
"Or-or what" the man spoke frightened and i glanced at Nicholas
I looked at him squirming my eyes at him and he sighed reconsidering
He soon took out the gun from the waistband of his jeans and handed it to me
"Or this" i loaded the gun and aimed it at one man's forehead
"One" i spoke loudly looking between them
"Two" Nicholas spoke getting up and standing beside me
"Th-"
"Wait. I will tell you everything" The man who had been quiet this entire time spoke
"Tell us then" Nicholas grabbed an extra chair and i sat beside him
