Chapter 12 Retaliation III

Zayn's Pov

Rosalie kept on waking up and shortly would fall back asleep. I liked watching her sleep no matter how much of a creep that sounded. Sometimes she would murmur my name. But right now she was asleep her pink lips slightly parted. I wanted to press my lips against hers just for a second. I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket, but I didn't pay attention to it. Nothing else mattered right now than Rose. I brushed her hair out of her face. Her eyes fluttered open looking for me.

"Zayn your still here?" She said

"Of course love I'm not leaving your side until your better " She smiled softly.

"Miss Ramos?" The same guy that was grilling me about Rose's attack was here.

"Uh Yeah? Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm detective Sonders. I'm here to ask you a few questions about your attack." He said. He glared at me.

"Um Ok ask away then." She said.

"Do you know who attacked you?" He asked.

"Yes it was three guys, they were at the cafe earlier that day prior to the attack." She said.

"It was them?" I was furious those bastards.

"Yeah, it was Zayn, " She said I could see her eyes tearing up. I grabbed her hand and rubbed circles with my thumb.

"Shh it's Ok love I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you." I said trying to sooth her.

"Would you be able to identify them? " The detective asked.

"Yes." She replied.

He handed her a couple of pictures and immediately picked out the three guys.

"It's them." She said.

"Ok, well they have turned themselves in and you identifying them is good we will be able to prosecute. Mr. Malik I am sorry for trying to accuse you."

"You thought it was him?!" Rose said. Her cheeks turned red. Her eyes turned a shade darker.

"Zayn wouldn't do this to me. He's a nice guy, you got some nerve pointing fingers at someone innocent!" I could tell she was absolutely furious. Good to know she was being protective.

"I'm sorry, I hope you can accept my apologies. " The detective said. With that he walked out. I was relieved the real culprits were in jail. Maybe now we can have some piece of mind.

Detective "Sonders" Pov

I had to lie about my name. I couldn't let her know my last name is Ramos too.

After almost two years looking for her I have finally found her. I got my phone and dialed my brothers number.

"Hey listen, I've got some news about Rosalie, yes I've found her, I wasn't too sure but I met her for the first time right now I knew it was her. Man she has Lucy's eyes, and her hair. She also has her toughness. We should wait till this is all over. Yeah I'll keep an eye on her. No worries brother. Bye"

I couldn't believe it I have found my niece.

Rosalie's Pov

"I'm 19 years old."

"What?" Zayn looked confused.

"Yeah my birthday was the day after the attack."

"Well we're going have to celebrate here then since your not out for another few days." Zayn said. He kissed my forehead. It was a relief that he was here. I had someone looking out for me.

"No it's fine I don't want to." I said.

Zayn's Pov

"Come on I insist. I want to do this for you. I want you to celebrate your birthday." I said trying to put on my puppy dog eyes.

She rolled her eyes. "Fine alright then."

She agreed to have her birthday here. I got my phone out to make the arrangements. My phone had a lot of misses calls from the management. I knew this was bad. But they could wait until Rose was out of the hospital. I was going to give Rose the best birthday ever. I want everything to be perfect.
