The Reckless Daughter's Killer

I Trust You

Dakota's pov

"Mom?"  I crouched down and shook her shoulders,   "Mom what happened? Who's kidnapped?"

She sat there with horror stricken eyes and with shaking hands.

"Mom!!! Who's it! Please—"

"Damien.."  she whispered hoarsely.

I paused.  It was like someone knocked me out, and I was unable to breathe.

"Dad?"  I said in disbelief.

I hurriedly grabbed the phone and saw the text message.  It made my blood boil and fear and anger started engulfing me

Oh Amanda, I thought I warned you about the consequences of ignoring me. You're gonna pay for it.
Damien is in my captivity. You wanna see him alive?
You know what to do.. And probably, your pathetic brother and your friend Blake, are going to join my little prison soon..

No way.

"Mom we've to warn uncle Andy and Blake!!"  I shouted.

I didn't realise mom was crying, until I heard a heartbreaking sob escape through her lips.

"It's all my fault! Because of my past, everyone is getting hurt,  it's all because—"

I hugged her and said in a bold voice.  "Mom it's not the time for you to act all weak and vulnerable! You've done nothing! No one blames you! But maybe they will, if you don't stand up and fight for your loved ones! They will blame you, if you don't go and help them!"

My mom looked at me with teary eyes.

"I'm there.  I'm still alive.  And I promise you, I'll never let anyone ever harm our family! For goodness sake, you're THE Reckless girl! You're the woman, who's taught me to fight and never back down! And I need that woman back, to help escape my family from that fucker's little prison!"  I shouted desperately.

Mom was silent and just stared at me.  Something flickered in her eyes before she got up and brushed away the dirt from her pants.

My face broke into a wide grin when I heard the following words.

"He has got hell to pay."

She smirked and held out her hand for me.  I got up and she led me inside. I was confused to where we were going before she entered the storage room. 

The storage room mainly consisted of excess junk and unused products.  What could she possibly need from here?

I frowned when she went to a dust filled cupboard and bent down to the lowest drawer.  She opened the drawer and I gasped.

It was a high tech security case, with guns off all kinds in it. There was a touch screen panel for password.  She entered the required numbers and the case opened.

I couldn't believe it!

All these years, I was totally oblivious to the fact that my ex-ganster mother, hid all kinds of high tech machinery and guns here in the storage room. 

"I kept these for emergencies.  I guess the time has come to use them.."  she said with a voice,  devoid of emotions.

She started loading ammos into the guns one by one and I was too shocked to do or say anything.

"What the hell is going on?! I got a message that you opened the freaking case! What can you possibly want with those?!" 

I turned around to see principal Doris barging into the room with a fuming face and holding the mobile in a tight grip.
