Finding You

Part 15

Moon was as bright as her smile. I still remember her smile when I brought Lamborghini for her homecoming party in NYC. That smile, the twinkle in her eyes, the shock on her face and the way she gripped my hands. All those moments are preserved in my memory. After me fucking up my chance with her; she never spared me another glance. Never. I did everything in my capacity, in got on my knees, I begged her, I brought her things and I did everything unthinkable thing I could think off; but she never gave me the chance. I was in my memory lane when the earsplitting sound of my cell phone brought me back in the world.

Picking it up, I looked at the caller id and sighed. This is going to be a long call. Half-hearted; I picked the call and braced myself.

"Hello."

"You have her whereabouts now; don't you, son?"

"I don't, Pops. My men are working. You know how good she is in laying low. She can hide like a pro. "

"I wonder who taught her that." Pops said making me wince in indescribable pain.

"Pops; I'm trying to amend for my mistake. I know I broke and betrayed her trust but I'm trying very hard to make her see I'm not that guy anymore. It's been 5 fucking years Pops. 5 ." I said in a desperate tone. I'm desperate to see her face, to look at her smiling, her being stubborn for things. I just want her with me; safe and sound.

"Be quick. The Spanish won't be lacking. My doll is in danger. If they got her before anyone of you can; rest assured not only will she be suffering more but saving her will be nearly impossible; not to forget the war we will be having. So, be quick and get my Doll home, Dylan." The silence on the other side indicates the end of call and my heart beating faster due to anxiety.

"Josha!!" my voice boomed from the rooftop.

Emerging in the lounge; I found Rin sprawled on sofa, watching a movie. Noticing my presence; she paused it and looked at me enquiringly. I smiled and walked towards the kitchen counter, she following me.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"Out." I said and took out a chilled water bottle.

"Mary? Are you out of your little mind?" She almost yelled.

"No. Why asking?" I said and looked at her. Her chest was heaving which meant she is nanoseconds away from exploding.

"You know the circumstances in which you're right now are not normal?" she said so calmly like I'm a child. I sighed.

"I know, Rin. But it still doesn't change anything."

"What the hell does that suppose to mean?"

"What the fuck do you want me to do? Hide myself in this Villa? Not see the sun outside? To not go outside? Stay holed here? Am I a fucking Prisoner?" I screamed in her face. My sudden outburst startled her. She took few steps back making me regret losing control. I took deep breaths. She is saying this all for my own good. She saved me.

"Look, Rin. I-I know you care for me. I really appreciate it but I-I cannot stay hidden. I want to live my life freely. I want to go out, I want to enjoy the daylight, I want to go to office or any other thing. I know I 'm in deep shit which I made but hell; I cannot stay hidden like a disease in some sick body." I said calmly and looking at her.

She looked down and nodded. I walked towards her and hugged her; to which she hugged me back.

"I just don't want you to get caught by any one of those sick men. Italians, Russians, Ukrainians, and now Spanish. I just want to safe." She said in a small voice.

"I know. I'll be safe ad you know this too. I'll never go out unarmed. You know I'm good in fighting. I'll keep both of us safe, Rin. I'm just going to buy new headphones. Need to listen to music so I can clear my head and think of some strategy." I said and stepped away from her.

"How in the hell did you found all those Greeky meats; bitch?"She said to which I laughed.

I wish it was you on my place; Rin. I wish. .

"Oh. Get me one too and be back ASAP." She said.

"Of course, Milady." I bowed to which she laughed.

Going towards my underground garage; I punched in the code. The door opened revealing my hard work, my sweat and blood. I had worked my ass off to get all these luxuries and I'll be damn if I don't use and enjoy them. Getting my Ferrari out of the garage; I sped towards the town; the wind hitting my face , making me feel fresh and alive.

Stopping in front of the shopping plaza; I parked the car and got inside. Locating the Mobile accessories shop; I ordered two pairs of headphones. The guy was a sweet boy in his late twenties.

"Anything else, beautiful?" He said and gave me a cheeky grin.

I shook my head and laughed at his behavior.

"No that will be all." I said and took out my purse to pay him.

I was about to pay a cold metal was pressed at my temple; making both of us stop dead in out tracks. I stiffened. The unmistakable pungent smell of gun powered was oozing from the metal making me realize that it is a gun. The man holding it was reeking with alcohol and smoking smells almost making me queasy. The sale boy was shaking like a leave in storm. I calculated my chances of fighting. As far as my senses were working without turning and find out how many are they; I guess they are 2. I can fight up to 5 men at a time; single-handed.

"Turn around sweetheart. We want to get a good look at you. Though; your ass was not that bad to look at too." He said, putting his hand on my ass. I gripped my purse and took a deep breath but failing.

Get a grip. We need to access situation. Killing will be done but logically. This is now what we will do. Kill and survive.

I turned around and found my senses to be accurate. There were only two men. Such easy survival. The men must have seen my relaxed because the second man shouted, tightening his grip on the gun:

"Grab her and let's go."

The first man who had the gun pressed over my heart tried to grab me when I sprang into action. I took hold of his wrist which was pressing the gun on my chest and twisted in; successfully breaking it. The other man seeing me resisting; unlocked his gun and fired. I had mere seconds to work. Throwing the man on the floor; I got behind the counter and pulled the now statue sale's boy down. When the man was down raining down bullets on us; I emerged from behind the counter and punched him, square in the face. He shouted due the pain and I moved towards the man whose wrist I broke. He punched me in the stomach to which I countered.

He doesn't know us.

Well. Too bad for him.

Grabbing his arms in a lock down manner, putting my foot in the middle of his back; I twisted both of his arms. The satisfying sound of bones snapping was like the music to ma ears and that too without headphones. The screamed in pain and fainted.

Well. He was not man enough.

I snickered at the thought. Turning towards the guy whom I Punched; He scrambled to his feet and ran like a dog with his tail in between his legs. I looked at his retrieving figure. This place is not secure as well. I hate to admit it but Rin is right. These all men are too powerful for me to hold. I can fight; but for so long. I'll surely loose this war. I've to come up with a plan and that too; quickly.

With this thought; I gave the boy a 100$ bill, picked up the shopper who was the reason of all this mess and walked out of the mall, leaving behind a groaning man on floor and a sale's boy calling the cops.
