Trust me... - Riggs story

10

"His name is Gabe Keaton, he lives in Mexico, and he is very dangerous."

I stare at the floor, and I hear Riggs' voice.
"Hey, Cap-"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me?" I ask him, hinting that I was pissed.

"I.. I was going to, but just... a little later.." He replied like a smart ass.
"I should've been the first one to know!" I look at them both and they look at each other.

I walk away. I bump into this kid, he's around my age.
"Watch where you're going." I look at him.

He's got hazel eyes and dark brown, floppy hair, tanned skin, just a little bit taller than me.

"Get out of the way." I say nudging past him. Riggs catches up with me.
"Lexie, you've met Grayson?" Riggs says stopping me. I turn around and sigh at them both.

"Yes, I have. Can I go now?"

'Grayson' chuckles and looks down.

"Who is he anyway?" I ask crossing my arms.
"He's my nephew." Avery says coming from behind Riggs.

"Cool, now lets go to Mexico."
"Uh, you can't go." Avery says and I groan.
"Please, just let me go with Riggs-"
"No, I can't." He interrupts me.

I look at Riggs and he's got his arms crossed and he's staring at the floor.

I sit in Riggs' car, with my head on the window, and I just stare outside.
"So, good news.." he interrupts the silence. "Rog actually agrees that you are better of out of a care home. Sooooo, he's agreed to have you." He smiles.

"Great." I mumble.
"I'm sorry you can't help. But other good news is that you don't have to do any paperwork and Rog does!" He enthusiastically says, and that makes me laugh.

He drops me off back at the house and I see Rianna with a guy.

"Is this your, uh, boyfriend?" I ask smiling. The guy looks at me confused but Rianna just blushes.
"Yeah, he's my boyfriend. He's called Robbie. Please don't tell my dad."

"I won't." I shout down to her whilst I go upstairs.

I sit on my bed and I fall asleep.

I wake up on the beach. I run my eyes, then realising I just put sand in them.
"Ah, for fuck sake.." I say trying to clean my eyes.

I walk and I see a chair, with a man tied up to it. His back is facing me, so I can't see any features of the face.

He's struggling, and he's trying to scream.

I run up to him and I look at his face.

"Dad?!" I shout untying the piece of cloth that is in front of his mouth.
"Lexie.. you gotta get outta here.." he struggles to say.

"Dad, what're you talking about?! Are you okay?"
"L-Lexie, you need to go, if he finds out you're here.."
"Who?"

"Me." I turn around to see a random guy. I don't recognise him.
"Lexie, RUN!" My dad screams.
"Dad, I'm not leaving you again!" I shout back.

The random guy puts his arm around my neck.
"No! Don't hurt her! Please!"

The guy just chuckles. Horribly.

He tightens his arm around my neck and I can't breath.
"D-Dad.. help." I choke.

"NO! PLEASE! I'LL DO WHATEVER!"

The guy lets go of me, and I drop to the floor, gasping for air.

I manage to look up at them both, and the guy has a knife.

"Have any last words for your precious dad?" The guy wickedly smiles.

"P-Please.. no.."

He full force stabs him. In the middle of the chest. I see the life drain out of my dad.

"No... Dad.." I sob.

I wake up and I breathe heavily.

I look at the time, 3:44pm.

I don't want to be alone. I mean, Rianna's with her new boyfriend, so I decide to go to Roger and Riggs' work.

I walk into the offices and I look around. I see Grayson and he's sat down and he looks really bored.

I walk over to him and he looks at me.
"You're here again?" He asks rudely.
"Rude." I say rolling my eyes.
"I haven't known you long but the amount of times I've saw you roll your eyes is impressive." He smiles.

I smile sarcastically.
"D'you know where Riggs is?"
