His Dark Obsession

Chapter 12: Him.

My phone crashes against the wall, the back of it coming off from the impact of me launching it.

Fucking cunts.

They're after me, and to make things even worse they also have Bella's mother. I know it's Black Ace who took her. She's definitely been buying her drugs from them, probably owed them money and didn't pay it so they took her. I have no fucking idea what they'll do to her, if they'll traffic her into the sex slave line, or if they'll keep her for themselves; maybe they'll just lock her up and torture her.

Out of all people, it had to be my dove's mother.

I wanted nothing more than to keep Bella out of my world, and I'm still going to try my hardest to do so. I'm not sure how possible it's going to be to find her mother, or to rescue her, but for my girl I will try; just makes it ten times more awkward that they're already after me.

After seeing my letter from them, I put an extra baseball bat in my car. Nothing more to really do. One thing I won't carry out is running or hiding. They want me? Come get me. I'll fight for my life, and I don't go down easy. 

I hear footsteps approaching from behind me then a voice follows, "I heard a noise, you okay?" Matt speaks.

I let out a heavy sigh, "I've got some work to do. I don't know how long it'll take or how long I'll be gone," I say as I run my hands through my hair in frustration.

"What? What are you going off to do?" his brows furrow.

I walk to my phone and pick up the battery and the back cover that shattered off, "Important and dangerous stuff, so you're staying here and I'll contact you when I can."

He shakes his head and walks over to me, "No, hell no. You're not going on your own, whatever it is I can help. I'll bring my set up I-"

I interrupt him, "No. I'm not putting you at risk. It's to do with Black Ace and that's all you need to know. They don't want you, Matt. And I am not about to put you on their radar just for helping me."

Matt was right, he would be a huge help to have for this. But I can't put my best friend in the eyes of Black Ace. As soon as it's known he's with me, he'll become a target for that reason alone.

"Damon, I'm not leaving you on your own with this. Look, this world may be full of sly cunts but I'm not one of them. I'm coming with you regardless, and you'll have to kill me to stop me", he says then takes a step back, "But I'm fully aware you could easily kill me so please don't", he mutters.

I can't help but chuckle a bit, then I sigh once more, "Fine. But you're staying hidden and out the way. There's a lot to explain to you on the way, so get your kit together and I'll meet you at the car", I say, then pat his back and walk out to the front of the warehouse.

Well, this is going to be fun, explaining Bella to Matt; if he stares at her too long I will cut off his ball sack and feed him it. My girl is too beautiful for her own good. 

I'll keep her as hidden as I can, I trust Matt enough for him to know about her. She better not make me look like a psychotic stalker in front of my friend, that wouldn't be very nice.

------------------------------

54 minutes have gone by since I ended the call with Bella, and I've just pulled up to her house. On the way here, I explained to Matt who Bella is and briefly how I met her. He doesn't know the details, and doesn't need to.

"So, she won't mind that I'm here?" Matt asks as he takes his seat belt off.

"Nah. She is a bit... skitzy, though. Like a little rabbit in a wide open meadow", I look at him with a smirk, then get out the car.
