Twenty

Ethan POV

We waited for them to come, all day but no one came. It's very suspicious and it has everyone on edge. Why would they send that video if they weren't going to attack.

They haven't sent anything since then. They've been radio silent and it's bad.

I wish maya was here so she could calm my nerves with one of her puns. We haven't been able to talk to the girls since they left because we had to make sure they wouldn't be trackable. I should've been there yesterday morning but I didn't have the balls to face her after I spilled my feelings. She's probably so confused. But she's safe and that's all that matters.

"They have to be planning something big" Tyler sat up in his chair running his hand through his hair. We were all sitting in the conference room trying to strategize.

"Maybe they're the kind to attack out of no where then retreat then surprise attack again till all our resources are out" Carlos stepped in.

"I've never even heard of this Rico Salvo guy before" I scoffed. Arthur was hiding something I knew it, u could see the guilt on his face; did he do something?

"We'll take turns sleeping, half will stay up and guard the house while the other half sleep. Carlos and the twins take first watch" Arthur got up from his chair walking towards the door without looking back.

"But sir-"

"Do it!" He growled before finally leaving. He definitely knows or did something.

Maya POV

I awoke in a dimly lit room, I squinted my eyes as I looked around. It was a fairly small room with cinder block walls and only one door. There were no windows or other exits except a small vent that gave us air.

"Oh my love!" My mothers voice filled my ears as she kneeled next to me.

"Momma?" I sat up but groaned loudly as waves of pain passed through my leg.

"Careful you injured your leg" she wiped some sweaty hair back from my forehead. I heard sniffles and looked around the room to see where they were coming from.

Evelyn and Emily were asleep on a mattress in a corner and lily was crying.

"Lily?" I held out my hand for her. She took it hugging me.

"They have Emma" she sobbed into my shoulder. These mother fuckers aren't going to mess with mine. I got up gritting my teeth due to the pain.

"Maya what are you doing!" My mother scolded me. I limped towards the metal door banging harshly on it.

"Hello! I'd like to speak to who ever is in charge of this hell hole!" I yelled as I banged.

"They aren't going to-" my mother was cut off by the loud sound of the metal door opening.

"Hey boys" I greeted the two men. One of them grabbed me dragging me out of the room. Before the door closed I heard the protests my mother and lily were yelling. "Where the hell are you guys taking me!"

They stood silent as they dragged me down a dark hall. One of them opened a large wooden door revealing a huge room. It was pretty clean. It had couches and long velvet drapes with nice carpets. There was a large plastic tarp in the middle of the room, which is never a good thing.

Tarps usually mean that there's going to be a lot of blood.

"Ah, maya! I've been waiting for you to wake up. You've been asleep for a day and a half" blue eyes, I mean, Rico was sitting at a table full of food stuffing his face. It smelled good, I can't remember the last time I ate.

"What do you want!" I growled.

"Is that anyway to treat a host" he faked being hurt. He got up out of his chair walking over to me placing his hand on my chin. "You are such a beauty you know that"

I gathered saliva in mouth spitting on his face. "Fuck you!"

He closed his eyes in anger and annoyance wiping the spit from his face. He then harshly gripped my jaw.

"Listen you little brat you will do whatever I saw or there will be consequences. If you think I'm playing try me, I dare you" he growled.

"What. Do you. Want" I asked through gritted teeth. He let go of my jaw giving me an evil smile.

"Bring him in!" The doors opened revealing two big guys dragging in a smaller guy with a black sack over his head. They kneeled him in the middle of the tarp before taking off the sack. I gasped at the familiar face. Mark.

"I want you to kill him" he laughed.

"What!? No!? I did everything you said!? Please don't kill me! Please!" Mark pleaded.

"Oh shut up!" Rico yelled punching him in the face.

"Kill him. Now!" He demanded. I shook my head no.

"No I won't" I stood my ground I want going to kill and innocent kid.

"Fine" Rico said calmly. "Take her back to her room get her some medicine and bandages for that leg" he walked back to the table sitting down digging into his food again. I was confused, why was he being so calm and nice now?

After they took care of my leg they took me back to my room where the girls were eating.

"Oh sweetie you're okay!" My mother hugged me. I hugged her back tightly.

"You hungry?" Evelyn held up a sandwich.

"No I'm tired I'm going to sleep" I gestured to the old worn out mattress on the floor. My dad and the guys were coming for us, I'm pretty sure we're only going to be here for another day so I'm not worried. I laid on the uncomfortable mattress falling asleep to the non existent sound of silence.

-

"Maya" a deep voice woke me from my slumber. My eyes fluttered open seeing marks chopped off head laying next to me with its eyes gouged out.

I got up quickly, staring at it in fear.

"Psst" my attention was shifted towards the door where Rico stood with my mom, a knife to her neck.

"No, please" I pleaded on the verge of crying.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk, pleading isn't going to help. I told you if you don't follow my orders there would be consequences" he talked with a small smile on his face. "You didn't kill mark, I had to; so here it is"

He dragged the knife across my mothers neck letting her fall to the floor as the blood poured out of her neck.

My body went numb as I stared at her limp body, tears falling uncontrollably. All I heard were the sounds of her choking on her blood, before they stopped; and I just stood there staring into her lifeless eyes.
