Till Death - Ace Merrill (BOOK 2)

Hero and Leander

No-one got a good nights sleep that night either.

This whole situation was killing them, tearing them all apart.

Billy spent the night outside on one of Ace's old cars, wanting to be left alone.

Oceane took 3 more painkillers and spent the night cuddled up to Eyeball's arm again.

Ace spent the night in the kitchen, keeping a close eye on Billy outside, Charlie by his side.

They were all half awake as they heard the front door go.

Vince opened it as they were greeted by Jason.

"Now ain't the fucking time." Vince snapped at him.

"Don't suppose you wanna tell me where my girlfriend is? She was meant to meet me for breakfast and now apparently her parents are telling me she's been fucking taken?!" Jason snapped.

"Just fucking leave." Vince snapped again.

"Or what?" Jason snarled out.

Vince groaned. "You fucking asked for it." He grumbled as he walked off into the living room.

Jason stood there dumbfounded for a second before Marco walked out into the hall, holding his big gun with both hands.

Jason took a small step back as Marco walked out, Seth appeared next holding his gun, Evans after.

Skylar straight after, Nico trailed behind him, Bruce followed as they all glared at him.

"You gonna fuck off now?" Vince asked as he walked back out.

Each agent loaded their gun in sync as Jason stood there.

"Just tell me where Connie is." Jason tried to snap.

Vince groaned and leant back slightly. "Billy!"

Jason soon took off running as Billy appeared and saw him. Instantly he went for the guy as Seth, Marco and Bruce held him back.

They all dragged Billy back inside as they all sat around the living room.

"What are we gonna do?" Charlie asked quietly as he looked about at them all.

Each one shrugged.

"Start with going door to door. We need to find that guy from the B&B." Austin started as he stood up, almost falling back into his old routine of being the one in charge. "You said he was at Jason's?"

Ace nodded as he looked up. "Safe to say Jason isn't going to cooperate though."

Skylar coughed out a laugh. "This is where we need Salvatore."

The others couldn't help but nod. Salvatore always had a way of making people talk.

"Anyone wanna take on Mr Happy's role as torturer?" Marco forced out a chuckle.

"Eyeball spent the most time with him..." Vince mumbled as they all looked up slightly.

Eyeball was still upstairs with Oceane.

"Who's gonna watch her?" Ace asked. "She don't want me right now?"

"We'll stay." Jack offered up as he gestured to himself and Vince.

"I'll give you a hand." Skylar offered as Jack nodded in agreement.

Austin nodded down at Skylar. "So it's settled. Sky, Jack and Vince stay with Oceane. The rest of us split in two, half take house searches and talking to the public, police included. The others go for Jason and this knobhead who was with him?"
