Guilty Pleasures II

Chapter 1

"What a good surprise"

Enzo:

"This means war", i say on the phone getting ahold of anyone and everyone. We decided to head back to the house for more equipment to track the car aria was taken in alongside more weapons and extra men. I made my way through the contacts on my phone making sure everyone was aware before telling my parents to get out of town until further notice. I couldn't risk losing them.

But my main priority was aria. She never deserved to be in the middle of this. Gio's just using her as bait to lure me in. And it's working, fuck it's working. "You all better be ready this is going to be a dirty battle worse than before", i say to both Santi and Caleb in the car. "He's touched something he shouldn't have and now he has to pay".

We arrive back at the house before packing the car with fresh loaded guns, knives, the full works before loading up the equipment needed to track the car locating aria. Shortly after everyone started arriving to follow behind us as we start the search for the vehicle.

"Registration"? Caleb asks before typing the plate into the laptop. A blue dot appears on the map 4 miles away from the house heading down south on a dead track. "He must have a new hiding spot", i say zooming in on the map for directions. "Not so clever now is he".

Aria:

Woken up by the sound of footsteps I look around to see myself being tied to a chair by my arms and legs. "What do you want from me", i say to a man with his face covered. "What a pleasant surprise", a voice calls out from a dark corner of the room. "I'm glad we could finish off our conversation from the other night", it says.

Gio.

"How was the ride"? He asks coming out into the dim light above my head. "You know if you wanted to talk there's something called a phone right"? I say as the masked guy tightens the rope around my hands. "Funny, now I know, well we all know you and Enzo are hitting it off", he says as more men appear from all angles.

"So what you're jealous, wouldn't blame you", i say before someone kicks my chair from behind taking me by surprise. "Enough with the sarcasm it won't do you any good", he says. "You're outnumbered, look around no one's here to save you", he adds.

"Enough with the small talk", i bite back as he comes closer kneeling down in front of me. "I won't hurt you, yet anyway", he says as I look away. "This will all be over soon", he adds pulling my face back to face him.

My purse is set across the room as he stands up to collect it. "Shall we have a bit of fun"? He asks picking up my phone before pausing. He starts smirking to himself before pulling something else out of the bag.

"What a double surprise", he says lifting the pregnancy test up in the air. "This will be fun", he adds dropping my bag back on the floor. "Tell me what you want from me", i say as he walks back up.

"Oh nothing for now we just have to wait for the party to start, I hope you won't mind waiting", he says dropping the test on the concrete floor. "I can't have enzo taking first place, him and his family have always had that spot don't you think it's time for someone else to take over"? He asks looking me dead in the eye before pulling out some sort of hand towel.

"You won't get away with any of this, there's a reason him and his family have always been first and you know it", i say. "You're just not good enough", i add. "Bad choice", he says before someone from behind ties something around my mouth stopping me from speaking.

"Deal with her whilst I go and see how far away our friends are", he says smirking before walking away into the darkness. I try to scream but the cloth around my mouth mutes anything from within. I'm kicking down to the ground by someone behind me before being outnumbered by numeral men kicking me.

I'm sat up once again being hit in the face by the masked man in-front of me. I spit out the blood into the towel from within my mouth as all I can feel is pain. A cart is rolled over next to me by another masked man with a sheet over the top. The sheet is lifted and metal instruments are displayed in order of size.

Saws, knives, pliers and other devices are set out along the trays alongside bits of cloth and unknown substances. Someone pulls my head back as a cool liquid is pressed against my neck on a piece of cotton. I feel a piercing sensation through my skin as my eyes widen knowing what's going to happen next.

Enzo:

"How far we don't have long, god knows what they're doing to her", i say out of anger becoming more and more inpatient by the minute.

"We should be there any second now Santi says as we come to a halt outside a building in the middle of a field. More and more cars from behind circle the area as everyone starts unloading all the weapon's. I get out looking for the car from before seeing it close to the building outside the main doors.

"We need to be careful we know how sneaky he is play by the book and lookout for anything unexpected", i say. "Everyone stay safe and stick in groups we want nobody going through alone everyone needs backup", i add.

"Let's go we can't wait everyone gear up this is life or death", i say as we all make our way towards the building. "Let's all split there has to be multiple exits we need to cover all the perimeter, Santi, Lexi, Caleb your with me the rest of you spread", i say as we all make our way to the building.

The main doors were left open almost like a trick. "This is too easy there's got to be a catch", Lexi says looking up to see a box wedged between the 2 doors. "Watch out", she says as we look up to see the same box. "It's a decoy", i say opening the door to an empty box falling down.

The entrance leads us to a winding corridor that wraps around the whole building. "There has to be an underground there's no way this is it", Caleb says as we make our way down the building.

Aria:

Tears run down my face as more and more pain is inflicted. Bruise after bruise, cut after cut, more and more blood trickles down my body. They rip my clothes throwing them to the side leaving me in my underwear. My heels are thrown beside my bag along with dress.

Enzo please hurry.

The cart is then pushed away into the back as someone enters the room murmuring something to someone stood guarding the door. Men start to leave the room leaving one behind. "Looks like someone's come to your rescue", he says laughing. "Shame you two won't see each-other again, by the time he makes it here you'll already be dead". "If he makes it that is", he adds following the rest out the door.
