Beginning a New Era

Chapter 7: Found

(TRIGGER WARNING)

chapter may be too much for some readers) Days had passed and still, nobody found me every time It seemed like I was found Mark would move to a different location, soon I had given up hope. "It's been days Mileena, are you finally gonna tell me who your boss is?" Mark asked again I looked at him. "Go fuck yourself, Mark," I said my face black and blue, lip busted, dehydrated. He delivered a blow to my abdomen and I coughed up blood. "I am so tired of asking you these questions!" He shouted flipping the weapon table over and then kicks my chair over as I hit my head on the ground. Gunshots could be heard from outside the room I smiled regaining hope as Mark ran out of the room leaving the door ajar. Minutes pass and the Gunshots came to a stop the last thing I saw was someone in a suit cutting my ropes and carrying me out in their arms, I soon closed my eyes I was found. I could hear a mans' voice speak to me but I couldn't make out who it was. "It's okay I've got you, Leena." The voice said as I fell unconscious. I soon woke up in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm and a morphine drip, I look around the room and see the doctor. "Where am I?" I asked looking around the room. He looked at me "You're awake, you're at a hospital." He said with a smile, "But how?" I asked as Dwyatt walked in smiling. "It's about time you woke up." He said sitting down in the chair by my bed as I started tearing up "I didn't think anybody would find me." I cried out grabbing his hands. He smiled "You will go home tomorrow but today rest, your dad will come by with some clothes and essentials." He said leaving. Hours had passed my dad finally showed up with some stuff for my departure from the hospital tomorrow he looked relieved to see me awake. "How long was I out for?" I asked twiddling my fingers. He sat on the side of the bed and patted my hand. "A few days... You were hurt pretty bad, somehow Dwyatt found you." He said looking down, I sigh and grip his hand making him look at me and gave him a warm smile. "All that matters is that I'm ok now and so are you, don't look so sad," I said making him smile back. The doctor walked in to give me my medicine and my dad left. I sighed and picked up my phone and called Dwyatt, but no answer. A bit disappointed I turn my phone off and decided to get some more sleep. The next morning rolled around I decided to get ready and discharged myself and took a cab home, to my surprise when I got home someone had already painted and unpacked my things. "My dad and the guys must have done it while I was in the hospital," I said to myself as I walked around the house. A few days passed before I went back to running things I was still sore so I had to take it easy. "Hey, guys!" I yelled out, everyone looked at me and came running up gently hugging me. "Holy shit glad to see you up walking around!" Said Damiar with a smile. "I agree, but you better take it easy you handle things here and we will deal with the safe houses and deliveries okay?" Said August.  I nod in agreement and chatted with everyone for a bit and then we resumed our work. Soon after Dwyatt popped up and walked into my office, "Why the hell are you here?" He said closing the door. "Working obviously, can I help you?" I asked with a bit of an attitude looking up at him. "You still need to heal Leena!" He yelled, I stood up angered "Why do you care?!?! It's not like you've been really talkative here!" I yelled back walking to him he grabbed my shoulders ever so gently and looked me in the eyes. "I don't want to see you in that state ever again, I am sorry I've been MIA but you don't understand how you make me feel!" He confessed to me moving his hands soon cupping my cheeks, I could feel my heart rate skyrocket. "Then tell me how you feel," I said looking up at him soon our lips collided into a passionate kiss that lasted for a while. I pull away looking at him "Now do you see?" He said letting go of me, I looked down and nodded. "I understand, I'll be careful okay? the guys will be handling the safe houses and deliveries I handle things from here until I get better okay?" I said with a smile. He looked at me and gently held my hand "Maybe we can have a first date tonight? watch a movie order Chinese." He said smiling as I nod in agreement and kissed him. "But don't be late okay?" I said going back to my desk. With that, he left and the day went by fairly slow but ended on a good note I had made my way home. Dwyatt was already waiting with Chinese takeout, we made our way inside and got situated finding a movie to watch, and kicked back eating our Chinese. "Work okay?" He asked looking over at me. "The normal but everything went well the guys are helping out as much as they can." I said with a smile eating my food, "Good to hear." He said lifting my legs to his lap. I felt happy for once and it took me taking over my dads legacy and being a badass to meet such an amazing man who now means a lot to me and I refuse to let that go.
