Worst Nightmare (A Calum Hood Fanfic)

Chapter 18: Strike Three

Strike Three:

His eyes narrowed as a growl ripped past his lips.

"Now you listen to me dog shit, if Katelyn asked for your help the least you can do is get of your fucking high horse and help her!"

Marcus snorted. "That bastard nearly destroyed my office! Not to mention he upset my pregnant wife."

"I don't give a flying fuck what he did. She asked for your help, so get off your ass and help her!"

"Like hell I will!"

He sighed heavily. "She chose him to handle it, so fucking let him do it. She better not come crying to me when he just lets her down again either."

The phone being slammed down followed by a loud dial tone rang clear in the air.

He yanked the cell phone away from his ear and snarled. His hand tightened into a fist and the phone crumbled to pieces in his bare hand.

He punched the wall behind him. "Dammit," Imagining it was Marcus's face he punched the wall a few more times and then felt a tiny fraction better.

"Useless dumbass... Should have known he'd never lift a finger to help her. What was she thinking even asking him?"

He slammed his back against the wall and struck a match. After a few puffs of his cigarette he sighed heavily. He pulled the cigarette away from his mouth and blew circles. 'One thing is for sure... if she went to dog shit for help then she must be getting desperate.'

He sighed heavily and inhaled again. After a deep drag off his cigarette he sighed and stared at the shattered phone by his feet. 'Ah fuck, now I got to get another one. What a drag.'

He inhaled again.

Niall walked around the corner and stared at the remnants of Luke's phone. "Again?"

Luke shrugged and inhaled again.

Niall shook his head. "Well that explains why we couldn't get a hold of you."

Luke stood erect. "Find something?"

Niall nodded. "Yup, it seems a former comrade of Calum's got his hands on Katelyn's kids."

Luke's eyes widened and then narrowed. His nostrils flared.

"What did you say?"

Niall swallowed nervously. "It seems he's demanding a ransom for the kids."

Luke snarled.

His voice was inhuman. "Who is?"

Niall backed a few steps away and sweat formed on his forehead. "J... Jared."

Luke snarled. "That pyromaniac dares threaten Katelyn's kids?"

Niall whimpered. "All we could find out about it is the exchange is supposed to happen sometime tonight."

Luke's lips pulled back and anger shook through his body. 'That bastard Jared and his gang die tonight!' He punched the wall and left bricks crumbled on the pavement. The look in his eyes was murder.

"Call a meeting, now!"

Niall backed away with wide eyes. "Y... yes sir," He ran off into the hideout and started calling each of the boys.

Luke's body shook from the force of his anger as he seethed. 'No one threatens Katelyn or her kids and lives.'

XOXOXO:

Calum glared at the phone tucked into the dashboard. "You're telling me you still can't find him?"

Devin sighed. "Remember Cal, he has Michael and the rest working for him."
