AFFLICTION- LRH

Taking A Turn.

Lukes POV:
After getting back to the house late last night and carrying Maeve to my bed, I had no choice but to find a place on the couch for the night.

Even though, I knew I wasn't going to be sleeping at all.

I couldn't stop thinking about the events that had taken place this evening. My mind twisting and turning from the  relentlessness of Maeve not listening to my orders, and finding out through a video that Zach had been here the entire time.

I mean, he literally saw me with her. There would have been no denying that.

Then, walking into an event that no one should ever have to witness. An event Maeve should never have gone through.

Almost catching him in the act.

I don't believe in a god, but I thank whoever is up there for making sure I found her. I couldn't imagine what she goes through, not only as the boss's daughter, but as a woman in general.

Woman in our line of work are almost completely rare to come by. I always believed it was due to the fact a man is stronger, faster, and more durable. But in reality,

There are just some fucked up people who will do whatever they have to do to get what they want. Even if that meant doing what Zach almost did.

Looking down at my watch, I catch a glimpse of the sun beginning to seep through the black shades. It was well past six am, and by the look of the guys faces, I knew they all needed to desperately get some sleep.

They ended up getting back here about an hour after i put Maeve to bed,

Which I might add, was not the easiest task.

The second we had walked in the door, she made it aware how she was starving, and that I "just refused to feed her."

"The last thing I want to have to fucking deal with is you puking in my bed, like you almost did once before." I exclaimed, rubbing the back of my neck in annoyance as she brought the blanket up to her face.

"Noooo," she groaned, rolling onto her side to face the wall, "all you want is for me to dieeee. You want me to just starve to death and die."

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes, walking back to the door to flip off the light, "Dont puke in my bed."

"What are they going to do with Zach?" she suddenly asks, sitting up in the bed as she wipes her hair away from her mouth.

I only shrug my shoulders, watching her face furrow from the moonlight coming from the window, "It doesnt concern you. Go to sleep, now."

Before she could say any other remark in her drunken state, I quickly left the room, locking the door behind me before I made my way into the living room, impatiently waiting for the boys to arrive.

When they finally got back, Ashton was quick to let me know that Zach had been disposed of safely, and Kouvr was taken back to her house for the night.

And ever since, we have been trying to come up with a plan on how to keep this covered the best way we can.

Calum was the most paranoid with the situation at hand, as he worried for Kouvr's safety in all of this.

She was well aware of our line of work, but we all try are best to shield her the best way we can. There is only so much we can do.

Struggling to come up with an idea, all I can think of is what we would tell Cody.

If he ever found out about our resposibility in Zachs death, his right hand man,

Every single one of us would have our heads on a stick.
