Cries Out

Chapter 10

I take a quick shower with the door locked and wash my hair. I get out and braid my hair to the side.

I unlock the door and walk out. Sitting on my bed was Jake.

"Do you need something or are you here for no reason?" I ask feeling happy that I decided to put clothes on instead of wearing the towel.

"I came to tell you that your mom called again. " he informs me. "She says that your dad is ok and that she loves you. But there is one problem. "

My stomach drops when he said the last sentence. "What?"I say with a shaky breath.

"They have your brother. "

Tears begin to sting the back of my eyes. "What? They couldn't have he was safe! I left to protect him!" I scream trying to hold back the tears which doesn't work. "How the hell did they get him?!"

"They don't know how they got him. But they did say that they are using him to get to you. " he says shaking his head.

The anger starts to build up inside me as I listen to him. "Why would they use him to get to me? How did they know where he was?!" I ask wait scream.
"I thought you said he would be safe if I came with you! But no he's nowhere close to safe!"

"Hey I didn't know they knew where you lived. And I have no idea why they would use him to get to you. " he says as he stands up.

"So you lied to me?" I question. "I'm going to the director." I state as I leave the room with him still in it.

"I need the files for this case. " I demand as I barge in.

"You have only been here not even a day that's not enough time to be trained. " he says never looking up from his papers. "You need at least a week before you go on a case. "

"I can take care of myself. I don't need training I need my parents and brother back. I have no family now. " I explain.

He slams his papers down on the desk and looks up at me. "You will go find them when you are ready and you are no where close to ready. " he says harshly. "Now get out so I can finish my work. " he demands pointing to the door.

I turn and leave with my fists to my side. Instead of a taking the elevator I take the stairs. I open the first door I see and come to an hall i have never been to before. I walk down it until I come to a door with a sign that says training room.

I walk in and there is no one there so I walk to the middle of the room and look around until I find a punching bag. I head to the corner and start punching it trying to get all of the anger inside out.

I stand there hitting the thing as hard as I can. I bring my fist with bloody knuckles getting ready to punch it as hard as I can but before I can I hear someone come in the door.
