Saving Aliyah (editing)

23

-Alastair Diaz-
*Tw*

My eyes burn, two fucking days, the more I look at the screen the more my eyes burn.

I can't remember when I last slept, when I last ate, and when I was last sober. That stupid frog stuffed animal is sitting on my desk.

She claims it smells like strawberries, but it smells like her, it smells like Aliyah, my eyes scan the security footage outside of my house.

Fucking nothing.

There's a knock on my office door, I don't answer, I keep my eyes on the screen. "Alastair. When have you last slept?" Claire asked "doesn't matter. I'm busy." I say not looking up.

I hear the sound of a plate being set on my desk, my eyes flicker to it for a split second before going back to the computer screen, as if in that split second I'd miss it where it shows when she was taken.

I need her to be alive, I need Aliyah to be fucking alive. "Alastair.." my sister said, I play the video again.

"Alastair"

Again.

"Alastair." Claire says louder, I look at her "what?" I say "when was the last time you slept and ate?" She questions I shrugged, I didn't even know what day it was, what time it was, all I knew was that I didn't have my wife with me.

"Alastair I'm saying this as your sister, go sleep and go eat."

"I can't."

It's quiet, Claire lets out a sigh and I hear my office door slam shut.

I run a hand over my face feeling exhausted, I grab my phone, demanding that all of my men meet me at the office.

Four hours of searching and nothing.

I pace back and forth as Selena replays the video "again." I demand "I played it over a hundred times, it's just showing the same thing."

"When I tell you to do something, do it, Selena don't fucking test my patience right now." I couldn't deal with her bitchy side right now.

I light another joint that Leo handed me "that's his fourth one." Selena grits to him, I snap my fingers and point at the tv "again."

I was so pissed that I couldn't take her shit talking Leo.

"Ho trovato una possibile posizione, capo" Enzo says opening the door "talk to me when it's exact." (I found a possible position, boss)

Possible wasn't good enough, not when it was Aliyah in danger, I needed the exact location on where she is, and I won't rest till I find her.

"Why isn't it the exact location on where my wife is." I grit out of annoyance, do they not fucking care?

"Let's just try the location." Selena says, I stare at her, back at the tv, sighing.

"Stop standing here like a bunch of idiots, Get off your asses and go." I grit walking out of the room.

Walking into the room where I kept every single weapon you could think of, refilling my gun with bullets, Selena was supposed to be my best hacker, yet she can't fucking find Aliyah.

The door opens behind me "are you sure about this?" Selena asked "you recommend checking this location, so yes, I am sure, I won't stop until I have her again." I said avoiding Selena's eyes

"The same thing happened to Stella."

"Don't compare my wife to her."

Selena sighed "I know you don't like Aliyah, and I don't give two shits what you like and what you don't like, she's married to me, I'm married to her, and I'm going to fucking save her." I walk out slamming the door.
