Secrets Never End

Chapter 19

Ang P.O.V.

I jerked awake and started screaming, causing Ross to swerve the car a little due to me scaring him.

"What the hell was that?" Bri asked, I assumed she had just woke up when I had screamed.

"It was....It was nothing just ignore it. Are we almost there Ross?" I replied, trying to calm down and change the subject.

"Almost, maybe a little less than a mile down. But I'm planning to just go ahead and park here so he can't see us coming."

I looked down at the clock, it was nearly 8. Then I looked at Ross, he looked like he went to hell and back; exhausted as can be.

"Do you think you need to take a nap or something, I can take it from here baby."

"Hell no, that's my son you're talking about. I don't need sleep and I ain't gonna sleep until he's safe at home."

"Well when he's safe in the car. Once we get him back you're sleeping and I'm driving. Don't wanna chance you falling asleep at the wheel with him in the car."

"What? You didn't care about him falling asleep at the wheel with us?" Riker said, gesturing toward himself and Bri.

"Did you come out of my uterus? Then I don't give flying fadoodle about you two. You wanted to come along." I said causing Ross to laugh.

"Alright, so Riker and Bri, you two are gonna stay in the car and drive down there when I call so we can have a fast getaway. Ross and I will go down and get him. No matter what, don't go anywhere. Don't leave the car, don't go for a walk, don't even take a leak. Stay in the car. Got it?" They nodded their heads.

Ross and I got out of the car and started walking. "Honestly baby, I don't want you even going. With the baby and all." He said.

"Do we have to go through this again?" I snapped, still a little cranky from just waking up.

Ross held his hands up in defense, "Okay, okay."

It took us a few minutes but we ended up seeing the abandoned house. "Let's  get in from the back."

We walked to the back of the house and picked the lock that led to the basement. Once we walked down the stairs I looked around and had a flashback from my previous dreams. I looked down and saw a mattress on the floor.

"That must've been where he slept...come on, let's go upstairs." Ross said grabbing my hand and leading me to the staircase.

We walked up cautiously and I slowly opened the door before looking around.

"Uncle Derek??? You already back?" I heard Romeo's voice and I tensed up as tears came to my eyes. I looked back at Ross and he kinda looked the same way.

Fast footsteps approached us and soon Romeo was in sight. "M-mommy...Daddy?" He asked confused.

"H-hey baby." I said smiling.

Suddenly he took off in the living room. Confused, we followed him. He was behind the couch.

"I don't wanna go! I wanna stay with Uncle Derek!"

"Uncle? What, why?" I asked.

"He said you are bad. You would hurt me like you hurt Daddy. He said you wanted to kill Daddy and watch me suffer and hurt like he did. Why would you hurt him he's your brother!" He yelled starting to cry.

Ross stepped up. "Buddy listen, Mommy isn't like that. She loves you like she loves me. She wouldn't want to hurt any of us. Derek is the one who wants to hurt us because him and his father were very bad people and tried to hurt us. He lost his father about a year before me and Mommy got married and he told us he'd make us suffer and broke out of prison before kidnpping you. If Mommy didn't love you, why would she do everything she could to get you back. She wouldn't rest until she knew you were safe and neither did I."

Romeo looked down and still fidgeted. "Will she love sissy more than me?"

I bent down to his level, "I could never love someone more than you. You're my baby boy." I said making him smile.

"And what's with everyone saying it's a girl, we won't know that for another 3 months."

"I'm just saying what I hope it is." Romeo said.

"Well, you two get ready to leave. I'm gonna look around for a bit." I got up and headed towards the back to see if I could find anything that could tell me where Derek was and what his plan was next.

I walked into one of the rooms to see a bed and a desk. The desk had an envelope on it. I picked it up and as I was about to open it my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Ang? When you gonna call for us to get you?"

"Did you really just call me? What if I was hiding?"

"Riker, I told you not to call. Trying to get her busted?"  I heard Bri in the background.

"Well I gotta pee and I can see from here that there's no car so he ain't there." Riker defended.

"Well, I gotta go. I'm getting another call." I hung up and answered the other call.

"Hello?"

"Angela! I'm so glad I could get ahold of you!" I heard an all too familiar voice.

"Mia? Why'd you call me? What in the world has gotten into you?!"

"I don't know! It just seemed like Derek understood me more. You were the sister getting all the attention and he was there to help me through it all. But I'm sorry for all of that, I really am. I left Derek this morning, I was calling to tell you where he is and stuff."

"Well no need for that. I'm already here."

"What? What if Derek catches you?"

"He won't he's gone. Listen I really have to go. I'm looking around and I have to get out of here before he gets back." I hung up and looked at the envelope. It was addressed to me.

I opened it and started to read

'Angela,

   How have you been? Well I don't know anymore rhymes and stuff like that so I actually decided to write a real letter this time. I just basically wrote to tell ya, I knew you wouldn't get help. I guess that means you have to take matters in your own hands. Well, Mia dumped me typical. Hard to stay with you Johnson girls. But I have a little surprise for you. She's pregnant. That's right, with my baby. So congratulations, you're an aunt so I guess that means my bloodline continues. All well ends well I guess. I'll never gotten over you by the way.
                                       love, Derek'

I held the letter in my hand as I paced around the room. I stopped by the full body mirror. She's pregnant? Is that what she wanted to tell me? And I just didn't let her speak. I looked back down at the letter and flipped it over to see more writing.

'P.s. I was never planning on actually mailing this. I knew you'd find the place and just one question. Do you really think I'd leave Romeo alone for the taking?'

I looked up at my reflection to see Derek behind me, over my shoulder.

"Hey beautiful."
