FEAR

40

•KEEGAN•

                          Marcus was so mad he couldn't even yell at us. Every time I met his eyes I could see our death in them.

"When we get her back because we will get her back. I want you three to get the fuck away from her." He crossed his arms over his chest. "The choice isn't for me to make but I will do everything in my power to keep her away from you pieces of shit."

The necklace Sebastian gave her had a tracker on it. I called him as soon as she was taken to ask if he could track her and he admitted to putting one on her. I was pissed off for merely a second until he got her location. When we got there we found the necklace with a man. I didn't hesitate to beat it out of him. Wasn't my style but it was my anger. I got a name but not after Ghost threatened to kill his wife in front of him I didn't care if he pulled that trigger. I would've cared three months ago before I met her.

I couldn't help but feel the guilt I was talking enjoying myself while Verena got taken. We left her by herself. That was never supposed to happen someone was supposed to be with her at all times. I know König blames himself but I should've noticed. I should've appointed someone to stand watch.

"He said they took her to the house of Sex Slaves." Ghost said. My chest squeezed.

"They took her to a fucking brothel?" Marcus rubbed his chin. His eyes were in another universe. He was already imagining what he wanted to do with those fucker. He looked tired but we had been working for three days straight with no sleep. None of us could sleep not with going to sleep and seeing an uncalled-for dream.

"Heavily fucking guarded but no good survivance. Everything could be hacked so we looked long enough we could find her." I said handing a laptop to Ghost.

"There will be other women try not to fucking kill them," Marcus said.

"Rog."

•VERENA•

I prayed before getting off the elevator. As if god listens to drug dealers like me. This was probably his way of punishing me. I took the guy I just killed gun and stuffed the other knife in my dress strap. I checked each corner before looking around for the closet exit sign. When I found it I walked around cautiously. There weren't many people around but the fucker that were around were stronger than me.

I had to get the fuck out. I rear the corner following the exit sign while keeping my eyes out for anyone who might see me.

I could see the door but before I could make it I heard heels approaching from the right hall of the exit. I tried two doors before finding one unlocked, I closed the door as lightly as I could keeping my ear close to the door. "I want to torture the bitch."

"We have to mentally break her first. It's been so easy to trigger her I thought it is harder than that for a drug. . ." Their voices fade away. I was almost tempted enough to try my luck with Fern and Tina. Tina especially but considering I haven't been eating I couldn't risk it. As soon as they reach that elevator the alarm will sound off. They'll notice I'm gone soon after.

I walked out of the room and sprinted towards the door. Only to notice this building was surrounded by a wall. It wasn't as easy as hopping over either. The wall had bar wiring over the top. "You fucking hate me?" I mumble up to the sky.

Left or right?

An explosion came from my left followed by the alarm. It was a distance away. If I go to the left I'll most likely run into danger; I will run into danger, but what if it's Marcus? I could get shot, meh not the first time. I gripped the handle of the gun harder. My chest felt so uneasy yet I felt like this was the only way to get out of here.

I looked at the ground at my heels. Fuck running especially in heels.

•GHOST•

                   Mexican Special Forces infiltrated the buildings before we got there. Plans change quickly. "They're here for her. We have to get her first." Marcus said over the radio. I was standing overwatch. König and Keegan were on the ground along with some foot soldiers. Marcus told them where to go while I'll give them cover. It was a pain in the arse. Especially when they entered a building all I could do was listen. No sign of Verena. Another building no sign of Verena. I was almost tempted to go down there myself.

I got up changing positions to get a better view of the chaos. A tower came into view. I jogged up the stairs, I was expecting someone to be up there sniping but someone with familiar curls got to them before I could. She shot him in the head, then turned around throwing a knife at me that only missed me by only centimeters away from my head. "Simon?" She was out of breath and skinner than I had ever seen before.

Her face and clothes were covered in blood, bruises and scratches covered her body. She looked so tired.

"I found her," I said over the radio before I closed the distance between her and hugged her. She didn't hug me back. "Who do I need to kill?" I said in her hair. She didn't even smell like herself. She shook her head. I wish I could take the time to comfort her.

"We have to go." She whispered. "I want a team to get these girls out as soon as possible."

"Meet us at the trucks," Keegan said over the radio.

I pulled out a handgun and handed it over to her and wiped the blood off her cheek and eyes. "Let's go."
