Proving Her Wrong

Chapter 17

An hour prior

Corey's phone began beeping and he quickly grabbed it. "Raven," Corey frowned as the security cameras showed a blacked-out explorer drove down the isolated road towards their mansion.

Raven looked over Corey's shoulder and let out a deep guttural growl that shocked everyone. "Cars in garage?" he asked without looking up from the cameras.

"Yeah they are," Brandon nodded.

"Good," Raven said as he pulled one of his guns out of the holster and checked then stuck it back in the holster before doing it to the other as well as his knives. "Stay away from windows."

"What's going on, Raven?" Owen asked as he adjusted his tie.

"I handle," Raven growled before going out onto the porch. "Stay inside."

"I'm just saying, I don't know why understand why you think they will be at the Blackbourne property," the woman said as Raven slipped into the shadows even more.

"Because Scott said she was with the Blackbourne's brat and the brat got away which obviously means she let them know we finally fucking found her and she got the brat back to the Blackbourne Team," the man growled. "Now shut the fuck up before you expose us."

"Don't you think it's a little weird that they have no security and yet they are the best there supposedly is?" The woman asked. "I mean we were able to just pull up and there are no cars. Something doesn't feel right, Alexander."

"Shut up, Woman," Alexander huffed in annoyance. "No cars means they aren't here, which works out better for us on finding more leverage on both groups. They have no security because they are stupid cocky brats. They think since they are the best they don't need protection."

"Wrong," Raven growled from behind them as they stood in front of the door. "Nyet security because have me."

Both froze as they heard the clicks of the guns then felt the pressure to the back of their heads. "Yevgeny," the man named Alexander gasped.

"Say again you die," Raven growled just as the front door opened.

"No Raven," Axel shook his head, "we need information. We haven't received any news yet."

Raven dropped his voice even more, "Fine, time to play."

"The barn is ready," North grunted as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Good," Raven smiled mischievously as he shoved them forward. "Go."

Once they got to the barn, Silas tied both of them up and hung them from roof. "How did you find us?" Axel asked as he handed Raven the blowtorch.

Raven quit spinning one of his knives and ran the blade through the fire a few times. Putting the burning blade against the man's chest and chuckled as he screamed. "How did you find us?" Owen repeated Axel's question.

"Where is she?" Raven asked as he pressed the blade of the knife against his chest even more.

"You have her," the man groaned as he tried to fight against the agony of his skin being burned off.

"Where is she?" Raven asked again as he yanked the knife away and chuckled as some skin dropped to the ground.

"You have her," the woman glared. "You tell us."

"Why are you after her?" Owen asked.

"She has something and we want it back," the woman whimpered.

"Shut up," the man glared. "Keep your fucking mouth shut."

Raven growled into his phone, "News?

"She's not her," Marc's voice came through the phone on speaker. "She got free and they tortured her for information and based on these notes she didn't reveal anything. Are they there?" he asked as papers rustling were heard in the background.

"Da," Raven nodded as he looked at the two people hanging in front of him. His eyes darkened even more with fury at the mention of her being tortured. "They show hour last."

"An hour ago," Corey corrected shaking his head. "They tried to slip in an hour ago but we were notified before they even managed to get on the ground and were ready for them. Raven's just been playing while we waited to hear from you."

"Have fun Yevgeny," Marc growled, "find out what you can and let me know, I need to find her before she bleeds out. Oh, and no need to be on the lookout for anymore. Before she escaped, she took down the crew and Uncle Scott."

"Da," Raven said nodding. He was proud that she managed to escape but now his mind was filling with all sorts of thoughts on what her condition was. He needed to join Marc in searching for her, but he was also torn with the knowledge that he needed to stay here to protect the others. "I let you know when I find out." He hung up the phone and took a deep breath before opening his eyes and rotated his shoulders while handing Corey his phone. "Time for some fun."
