Innocence Stolen

3.6

It was late afternoon when the police surrounded the mansion, men were posted at every known entry. Everything had to go smoothly, and Officer Lopez couldn't afford any screwups.

Officer Lopez grabbed the megaphone and climbed onto the roof of the car. 

"Everyone, I want a safe and successful rescue. We don't know what this guy might try, but we will be ready for anything. I want a man at every door, but do not engage. We will wait for them to come out." Lopez shouted into the speaker.

The men nodded in agreement and went about their duties. 

Lopez got down from the car and walked towards Adrian who was leaning against his black Porsche, smoking a cigarette. He threw it on the ground before stepping on it.

"Lopez, what's the plan," Adrian asked, loading his gun with bullets. 

"The plan is to wait and draw them out. All the exits are covered."

"That's bullshit. We have enough men to go in and get them, I'm not gonna sit around and wait." Adrian shouted, shoving past the officer and standing directly in front of the door to the house. 

"Adrian, do not screw this up. I will hold you responsible for any shit that happens." Lopez warned.

"Fine, but I'm going in," Adrian said. Lopez sighed before signaling his men to let the skilled assassin enter the home. 

"Wait, let me go too!" Leonard shouted, running towards the entrance. "I know what the house looks like, I can help." 

"Alright, we will be outside, ready to help," Lopez said, handing the doctor a gun. 

The pair entered the lion's den.

"Theodore, wake up, someone is in the home!" Priya said, tapping the snoring man next to her. After hurting her for a good hour, he took nap next to the scared girl. Priya, couldn't sleep, afraid that he would wake up and hurt her again.

"Go to sleep. No one is here." Theodore mumbled groggily, before snuggling deeper in the covers. "Come here." 

Priya obediently scooted closer to the large man. He wrapped his arms around her stomach, softly caressing her belly before closing his eyes again. They were like that for a good ten minutes before the door creaked open. 

Adrian and Leonard surrounded the bed, aiming their guns at the sleeping man. Disgust and anger flooded Adrian when he saw the man hold the bare girl close to him. Priya's appearance was disheveled and messy, but she still looked beautiful. Adrian quietly walked to Priya, careful to not wake up Theodore.

"Priya, wake up. It's me, Adrian." Adrian whispered, tapping the sleeping girl. Priya's eyes shot open and she let out a blood-curdling scream after seeing a stranger over her.

"Theodore! I told you! Someone broke into our home!" Priya screamed, shaking the sleeping man. "Theodore, he has a gun!"

Theodore's eyes shot open and he quickly got off the bed, pulling Priya out with him. He held her in front of him, like a shield.

"If you shoot me, I will kill her," grabbing his gun from the nightstand, and placing it at her temple.

"Theodore, just let her go. We don't want any trouble." Adrian pleaded, pointing the gun directly at his head. He could shoot him, but that was too risky.

"That, I can't do," Theodore said sharply. "We are a married couple." 

"Think about the child and the stress you are putting on her. It's not safe for the baby." Leonard reasoned, but it fell on deaf ears. Theodore cared more about his wife than the child, he could always make another child, something he wouldn't mind doing.
