Vanished

a helping hand

Riley

I woke up hanging from a fork lift with Antonio and Jake standing in front of me...

Antonio: oh good you're awake finally.

Riley: let me go...

Antonio: I'm afraid I can't do that Riley, you have someone I want...

Jake: she has been boss, she is with Riley's father. Joey spotted them sitting at a dog park not far from here...

Antonio: good, I will have a talk with Frank about her, better yet I think a fair trade will be good right now...

Jake: what sort of trade is that boss?

Antonio: Frank won't let anything bad happen to his son and considering Riley is the only living family Frank has I think getting Ariana back will be easy. Get my car ready Jake, I am going to see Frank right now and when Joey comes back have him take pictures of Riley so I can show Frank what he is dealing with and if Frank refuses well I will send word on what to do next...

Jake: yes boss, you can count on me.

Antonio: there's a good lad...

Riley: he will never give her up so easily Antonio...

Antonio: well than I'm afraid it will be the end of you Riley, for your sake you better hope he lets me leave with her.

I watched as he got in the car and left the place we was at....

Riley: I can't believe you would do this to me Jake, after everything I done for you.

Jake: yeah well I did so get over it Riley, you chose your path and I chose mine...

Riley: you were like a brother to me.

Jake: you were too but you decided to choose a brother over some stupid female.

Riley: she didn't deserve this from you Jake, what did she do to make you hate her anyway?

Jake: what did she do!? She caused all of this and you have the nerve to defend her?

Riley: of course I'm going to defend her Jake I love her!

Jake: well I hope she was worth it all because if the boss doesn't get what he wants than its goodbye forever Riley.

Riley: you will regret the day he betrayed me Jake...

Jake: that's funny coming from someone who is tied up and can't do a thing...

Riley: I want be tied up much longer just you wait Jake, when I get out of this you will regret every bit of this.

Jake: I doubt that cause you are outnumbered Riley...

Joey: where is the boss at Jake?

Jake: he went to make a deal with Frank, he wants you to take pictures of Riley and send them to him so he can show Frank.

Joey: okay I am doing that now...

I watched as Joey took a rope out of his jacket and wrapped it around Jake's neck and begun tightening it as Jake slowly stopped trying to fight him. He let go of the rope and checked for a pulse from his lifeless body that laid on the ground beside his feet.

Joey: I will untie you in a minute Riley I just need to get a picture of you and send it to Antonio, I spoke to Frank before I got back here and I told him that I would help you as much as I could but after I returned you to him I couldn't help out anymore because once Antonio finds out that I helped you I would have to suffer the consequences...

Riley: I'm sure my father can do something to help you out once we get back to the safe house he is staying in.

Joey: come on Riley lets get you out of here...

He cut the rope and we drove to where my father was and we hid there until Joey got word that his boss had left this place...

Marco: its good to see you again Riley and Joey thank you for helping him.

Joey: no problem Marco, I couldn't stand Riley to be away from miss Aria a second more... I know what's it like to be away from someone you love. I must go now Riley so take care of Ariana.

Riley: I will and thank you for everything Joey, if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask, I know my father will appreciate what you did.

Marco: follow me Riley, I know someone will be happy to see you.

I followed him to a car and he drove to a house that was an hour away from here, he parked the car and we both we walked inside the house. I seen her sitting there talking to my father while she held Bowie close.

Marco: hey boss...

Ariana: you got back quickly Marco, did you find Riley like you promised me?

Riley: hey Ariana, its good to see you again...

Ariana: Riley, I missed you so much!

Riley: I've missed you too Ariana.
