The lost triplets

chapter 71

Alex woke up with a throbbing headache. He started to panic when he was locked in a cell.

"No" he whispered, tears threatening to fall. He had been stupid and now he was away from Skye and James. He wasn't having the worst time with his family either.

The room started to spin as he panicked. His breathing was heavy as he tried to gasp for breath. He had been so stupid but he couldn't stay here. He felt sick. he wanted to curl up and cry.

His heart was racing as he heard footsteps.

The man that knocked him out appeared.

"I can't wait to watch you beg for mercy. To beg to be killed because really being dead is the best option you have" the man said as he laughed at Alex's  state.

"Not so tough now are you" he entered the cell and punched Alex in the stomach.

He grabbed a chain and made sure to tie Alex's shaking hands. He wasn't going to take any chances after seeing what the boy could do.

"Where are we going " Alex whispered as he was too scared to fight. He complied without a fight. His survival instincts kicked in but this time it was accompanied by a new fear. He didn't know this man, the gang that held them hostage, he knew what they were like. These men were unpredictable.

"One of the bosses is here. I'm sure he would love to meet you. He's in a meeting but nothing better to get him more angry then to interrupt that meeting. He's requested to see you though which means kill you. I'm hoping he gives me the honour of doing it myself."

When they informed the boss about how their was a witness so they had to take him hostage. They didn't bother telling the boss it was a kid. After all they were hoping to kill him and dispose of the body before anyone realised a kid took down two men.

"So the guns will be here tommorow....."

The boss paused as one of his men threw a kid into the room.

"What the fuck did you do to him" 

Alex who had let himself be thrown on the floor curled up in a ball, his hands covered his head to protect himself and his eyes squeezed shut.

He didn't dare look up when he heard the anger in the man's voice.

It was almost inhuman.

Lorenzo wasn't expecting his night to turn out like this. When he got to the mafia headquarters, he was informed a witness knocked some of his men unconscious. He was expecting a fully grown man but instead he was beyond shocked to find it had been Alex.

And then it dawned on him everything they had built up with the triplets was now destroyed.

Alex knew what type of men they were now.

For a brief second he looked at Alex and saw how vulnerable he really was, now he didn't have to fight for his siblings. He cowered away, to afraid to even look up. 

Lorenzo rushed to Alex who flinched away "no please don't . I'm sorry. Please. Please"

Lorenzo felt so much pain hearing his brother beg him not to hurt him. He knew Alex was terrified as he repeated his words desperate to remain unharmed.

He realised his tone before probably was unfamiliar to Alex as it was nothing but pure anger.
Even the men in the room didn't dare speak, some of them even flinched away when they heard his tone.

"It's okay Alexander. I'm not going to hurt you"

Everyone was in shock at the emotion their boss displayed.
