Lana Steele 2.0

Chapter 7

Nemesis pov

I can't believe it, how could I let this happen. My god.

I paced the floor of the hotel room we got for the stay. We were only expecting to stay for a day but I was stupid and let Lana go by herself. I can't get the sight of her body being carried away by those men. Why didn't I get captured? I'm a thief so I can find a way to get out of whatever before I even get put in it. I can't deal with it. Not having her here with me.

"Calm down Nem, we'll get her back." Quinn stood up and rested her hands on my shoulders in the comforting way Lana did. I shimmied out of it and turned to her. "How can I just sit around and forget about her?!" I shouted in rage. At this point Jon butt in. "Hey, stop. That's my daughter, you know? I care about her just as much as you do, I'm holding up fine." I scoffed. "You weren't her life from the start. You don't even know a single thing about her." Quinn's head just snapped between Jon and I. "And you do!" He fired back. "Of course I do." I balled my fists in rage. "And why is that, that you think I don't know my own daughter better than you." At this time, I just it. "BECAUSE I LOVE HER DAMN IT!" I slammed my fist on the desk beside me making Quinn and everything on it jump.

A ping, from the small iPad Lana had brought, broke the awkward silence in the room. Checking it out it was a live video feed from an anonymous receiver.

"Nemesis, ah, how are you? Doing well? Great. Have you been crying?" Raymond's snide voice spoke. "What do you want?" I growled. "It's not what I want, it's what Lana wants Jon to do for me." I cocked my head to the side. "That is?" "Make me a Doomsday device." I couldn't help but laugh. "Keep laughing.  No device, no Lana." The screen switched to Lana held captive in a white room. In the room an intercom sounded and Raymond's voice. "Lana, why don't you say hello to our guests." She lifted her head and slowly go up. Her cute outfit was torn all over and it was visible that she had bruises under them. "What are you talking about?" her voice sounding weak. "Our guests have agreed to make a device and save you." She struggled to get out of the handcuffs she was tied to until she let out a broken scream. Once again trying to break free, she screamed. I looked away while simultaneously wiping away several tears. "Stop this!" I shook the small device as if it'll do something. "3 days, give the device or I kill her." I didn't hesitate to accept. "I can't just make a new device! I need my stuff back at the lab." I turned my head to him with a sinister look. "Then go, I'm staying." Without saying anything else, I just up and left. I need a break from life.
