Ride Or Die ( August Alsina )

Chapter 17

* August's POV *

I was laying down in the bed & turned over there was still no sign of Alana. She never stayed at the club this long & I had to admit, I was worried about her. I stood up putting on my hoodie & headed to the club.

August: Brandi, Alana still here?

Brandi: No, she left about 2 hours ago.

August: Word?

Brandi: Yeah, she had a few drinks & she was talking to some guy right before she left.

August: They left together?

Brandi: No, she ran out. She seemed pissed & a couple minutes later he left.

August: Did you see where they went?

Brandi: No, I just seen them go out the door.

When I was about to leave, Sade came from the back room smiling & approaching me.

Sade: Looking for you're girl?

August: Have you seen Alana?

Sade: Not since she left. Her lil punk ass around here somewhere I'm sure though. From what I hear, she left with some man she was sitting at that table with.

She laughed pointing over at the table.

Sade: Then, she left & he followed.

I walked out of the club. Where could Alana be?

* Alana's POV *

I woke up & everything just seemed to be turning for awhile. I laid there & looked around once my vision had straighten out. I didn't recognize where I was. I started screaming hoping someone would hear me & help. Just when I was about to get up, I seen that my hands had been handcuffed to the bed. I screamed so more & then the detective stood in the doorway.

Detective: I see you're finally awake.

Alana: What am I doing here?

Detective: For me.

Alana: Let me go!

Detective: Can't do that.

Alana: Someone is going to find me!

Detective: Nope. Why would they assume that a typical stripper would be at a detective's house?

I yelled once more. The detective placed his finger on his lips signing me to hush. I looked at him fighting to get out of the handcuffs.

Detective: I'd hate to put tape on you're mouth for disturbing the peace around here.

Alana: Fuck you!

He slapped me & climbed on top of me.

Detective: That's exactly what you're about to do!

I screamed in hope that someone would come to my rescue, but I figured he was right. No one would even consider me being at his house. He pulled up my torn shirt kissing up my stomach & then he kissed my cheek. The detective fought to take off my shorts & I screamed once more. He took his hand slapping me again.

Detective: Shut the fuck up!

He unfastened his pants & started trying to take my panties off. I heard a shot & I closed my eyes. I seen my whole life flash before my eyes. Was my life really over? I opened my eyes & the detective rolled off to the other side, his eyes still open. I screamed & in walked August who shot the detective twice more.

* August's POV *

I looked over at Alana, her face was bruised & she looked like she had been through hell & back again. I walked over towards her.

Alana: Get the keys!

August: Where?

Alana: Somewhere around here. Just look & check him!

I checked the detective & found the keys in his pants pocket. Ran over & unlocked the handcuffs from Alana's hands & she let out a big sigh with tears running down her face. I picked her up & drove back home. Grabbing an ice pack & placing it on her bruised cheek.

August: What happened?

Alana: I went to work & when I was about to leave he came. He wanted to talk & asked me about the bank robbery.

August: He knows?

Alana: No, he assumed I knew something. He started becoming more controlling & an asshole, so I left but he followed me. We got into a fight in the alley & he put the handcuffs on me putting me into his car. Next thing I know, I woke up there at that house.

August: Probably need you to go get checked on.

Alana: NO! I'm fine. I just want to stay here.

She laid across the bed & started to fall asleep. I laid next to her holding her in my arms.
