"Reed, piss off!"

"Get the fuck out of my hole, Kai!"

"Your hole? It's mine!"

"Oh, baby, no it's not."

"Reed I am going to snap your neck in a minute. Xavier, please explain to this fuckwad that his hole is actually my hole and I can do whatever I like with it."

"Bloody hell, just shut up! Some of us are actually trying to get something done!"

"Shut up, Tris!"

It was official, the house is either going to get refurbished or one of these idiots are going to burn it down. Don't get me wrong I'm incredibly grateful, we both are, but when you have to sit and dictate about what goes where or what particular shade of a particular colour should be painted on a particular wall, you begin to feel as if you're in your own personal mad house.

Kai and Reed are arguing over who is doing the electrics where, Tris is designing my mothers room and my own and Xavier? Xavier was simply being my support. He wasn't really the DIY type but I guess that's okay, you know, considering he designed the entire house.

I'd never really thought about what the boys (and Tris) would do, work wise, if they weren't wrapped up in gang-related business that I didn't know a thing about. And so when Xavier had said that he wanted to be an interior designer, I didn't know what to say. Then Tris chipped in and said that she wanted to be an architect - I guess that's why her and Xavier suit each other in more ways than one.Then Kai revealed that he wanted to be a social care worker or a child psychiatrist so he could help kids like him. As for Reed? He wanted to be a famous stripper that goes by the name of 'Pond Reed'.

From where he sat beside me on the couch Xavier sighed and got up before storming out of the living room and to wherever the boys were, probably to sort them out by beating the crap out of them. I would've followed but I was forbidden from going anywhere in the house other than the living room or to the front door. It turns out that the rule was pretty convenient when there was a knock on the door.

I didn't get up straight away, but the knocking was so persistent that I almost jogged to the door.  I swung it open, expecting there to be someone that one of the boys knew to be outside. It wasn't.

In front of me stood two police officers, each fully geared up and staring straight back at me.

"Are you the owner of this house, miss?" The tubby guy with the bald spot spoke to me first, looking down at me as if I was no more than a child. His eyes were cold, empty almost, and his fat fingers were holding him up as he leant against the doorframe. In a way he was cornering me in and I didn't like the look on his face one bit.

"That would depend on who's asking." I responded, taking a few steps back because his breath was so bad that I could almost taste it.

"Miss, we would appreciate it if you would simply answer our questions. If you fail to do so then we will search your house with or without your permission." The second, younger, guy spoke next. His teeth were rotten and crooked, his skin a mess and if I looked close enough I was pretty sure his veins were green.

Okay Calla, you can do this. They clearly weren't police officers but I decided to play along for as long as I could until one of the others realised that I had been standing at the door for a while.

"No, I don't think I will thanks. I know my rights. No I am not the homeowner, but no you may not come inside because as far as I'm aware you have no warrant. Without a warrant you aren't going to step foot in my house."

I watched as the two guys looked at each other before they nodded and barged passed me, knocking me to the floor. The tubby one stopped and crouched down beside me, stroking his sausage finger down my cheek.

"Listen here, sweetheart, you tell me where your little boyfriend is or I swear to god I'll snap your neck." He whispered.

I shivered as he looked at me expectantly. If he thought I was going to say anything he could go to hell.  God, where were the others when you needed them?

I hadn't realised that the other guy had stopped too so I figured I was kind of safe when I replied,
"Go to hell. Or better yet, I'll take you back to the fucking farm and tell them that their pig escaped."

He raised his hand and slapped me across the face. I was half expecting it, but I was still winced in pain when my head snapped to the side.

"Bitch."

"Kai!" I screamed as he gripped my arm and hauled me up from the floor.

"Mom! Kai! Help me!"

"Shut the fuck up you little cow." The second guy hissed as he too grabbed my arm.

Out of nowhere, I had the urge to smirk.

"Are we making farmyard animal references now?"

They didn't find it funny.

I could hear footsteps thundering down the stairs as Kai, Xavier and Reed came running. All three of them skidded to a stop as they saw the position I was in. Currently the fat guy had me trapped with his chest, well stomach, against my back and the other one had a gun pressed to my temple. How original.

"Ah, Kai Montgomery. See, baby girl, he is here." The fat guy laughed at me, mockingly stroking my hair.

"Don't fucking call her that you sick bastard or I'll take that gun, the unloaded one that your little crack-whore has, and shove it so far up your ass that it comes out of your mouth." It sounded like something Kai would say, but it wasn't him. It was Xavier, and he looked livid.

"Ahh but Xavier, the whore is the one with the gun against her pretty little head."

Kai snapped then and he lunged at us, only to stop when the green-veined guy sighed and clicked off the safety. That's when I became scared. One slip up and I'd die before I'd even had a chance to live.

"What do you want, Bert?" Kai asked.

Bert? Oh my god.

"See, the thing is Kai, you have been slacking. I get it your pretty little girlfriend here is too good in bed to leave, but you have got a duty to fulfil. Tell me, where were you last week when you where supposed to be delivering the goods to Alessio and his lot? Because he sure as hell didn't get anything."

I watched as Kai swallowed,

"I-I don't know. For fuck sake, take the gun away from her head! I can't concentrate."

"That's not good enough, Kai! That's it, we came here for an explanation and all you give us is bullshit. Boss wanted us to give you a chance to explain yourself, after all you are one of the best, but I'm sick of being second best. So I guess we'll go report to him and you'll be in deep shit."

The fat one suddenly released me and I thought I was free to run away from him, but then the guy with the gun smashed it over my head and suddenly everything went black.

I couldn't tell you what happened after that because when I awoke in a cold, dark room I didn't even know whether I was alive.
