The need.

~Chapter 33~

"What happened to your cast?" She asked sitting next to me.

"What happened to your hand?" Tucker asked.

"Guys no questions please," I said. They both shook their heads.

"Derek came to visit me after picking up Freya. He told me about Shane's affection for you and I wanted to see it for myself." He said. I nodded. He looked down. "There is something I wanted to talk to you about." He said.

"Which is?" I asked.

"Your mother had a visitor yesterday. He stayed for a few in the house then took her with him." He said. It would be a lie if I said I cared.

"So? She gets visitors all the time."

"No not like this one." He said.

"What did he look like?" I asked.

"I knew who it was." He said.

Then who was it?" I asked.

"Marco's." He said. I got up and walked down to the gym. I didn't take a step in the gym but Shane saw me and rushed over to me.

"We have a problem," I said.

"What do you mean he took her?" Shane asked leaning against the wall.

"I don't think she struggled to go with him because of past encounters," Tucker said.

"Alright, I'm tired," Shane said. I looked at him. "It's 11:34 pm. I need sleep to be able to work this out. Now I'm going to sleep. Tucker, you know where your room is. Derek, Freya is obviously going to your room. Lola you are-."

"I think I'm gonna stay for a few. I'm not tired yet." I said. He nodded.

"Stay by the room." He said. I nodded. They walked away and I waited. Once I knew they were all in beds I headed to the gym. I stayed right outside. Adam and DJ saw me and walked up to me.

"Lola, what's up?" He asked.

"I need a favor. It's dangerous and most likely going to cost you your lives." I said. They both looked at each other.

"Were in." They both said.

In less than an hour, we were in the car on our way to somewhere. I knew Shane was going to find out but I wanted to make sure I at these have somewhat of a chance of getting there. "Lola, how do you know this guy?" DJ asked. I looked out the window.

"He was my best friend before I moved here when I was 5. We stayed in touch." I said.

"And he will help us?" Adam asked.

"Let's hope," I said. We pulled into the driveway and I got out.

"Lola," Duke said. I ran to him and he caught me in his arms. "God I missed you." He said. I would have visited more but he lives 3 hours away.

"Duke I need your help," I said.

"Of course. What's up?" He asked.

"You still run the Red Blood gang?" I asked. He looked nervous.

"You are not going anywhere near them Lola." He said. I shook my head.

"My friend's uncle is either going to kill me or take a child from me. And a few others. I need your help with taking him down. It's our last chance before my friend turns 21 and has to give him a child." I said. Duke pulled out his phone.

"Line up." He said. In less than a minute 20 guys were outside in front of us lined up.

"Wow ok," I said.

"Lola we have a problem." I heard DJ say. I looked back to see Shane's care speeding up the driveway. Shane barely parked the car before he jumped out of it. He walked up to me. I took a step back and bumped into Duke.
