Exhale: Book 2

Karma's a Bitch

Gabriel

I woke up to the sunlight hitting my face. I'm not surprise that Emma did something like this. But I didn't think the bitch was this crazy to the point she's trying to take someone else's identity. When we were together, she told me about her mother's death and how her father would abuse her and rape her. She told me that she had to kill him to save her little sister. She shot him in the head and made it look like he committed suicide.

I look over to my right to see Emma still asleep, her back was turned towards me. I notice she had bobby pins in her. I gently start taking them out of hair. Maybe I can use them to get out of these handcuffs. As I go for the last one, she starts waking up. I close my eyes, making it look like I was asleep. I could feel this bitch staring at me the entire time.

Sabrina

I wake to feel Gabe's side of the bed empty. I quickly sit up and look around the room. "Gabe? Gabe!" I yell. I quickly grab my phone and that I don't have any notifications. I call his phone and it goes straight to voicemail. My phone rings seconds later. "Gabe?"

"Sabrina, its Claire, I need you to get to hospital ASAP."

I leave the house, get in the car, and zoom to the hospital. I quickly run in the hospital to see Claire standing there. I took the kids to Rachel's and Andrew's last night and Dakota was at Zach's with Char. "What is it? Is Gabe alright?" I ask

"Sabrina," Claire says, "Emma kidnapped Gabe last night."

My eyes widen, "What the hell do mean Gabe was kidnapped?!"

We walk down the hall. "Last night Gabe and his uncle went to the old Townhouse where Emma has been staying in for over seven years with Bella. When they got there Gabe's uncle got hit in the back of the head by a vase, making him unconscious. Soon after, someone called to report a fire there. When the cops and firefighters arrived, they only find his uncle's unconscious body and no one else's. When Gabe's Uncle woke up, he told us that he was kidnapped."

"So, his Uncle okay?" I ask

"He's resting now, but he'll be fine."

I nod, "But now what? How are we going to find Gabe and Emma?"

Claire shrugs, "Now that Emma moved her location, we'll have to start back from square one. I'm sorry Sabrina, it'll take months for us to find Gabe and Emma now."

*******************************

I grunt kicking and punching the punching bag as hard as I can; not giving a single fuck if I break it. I can't believe it's going to take months to find my man and that bitch who took him. "I NEED ONE PERSON TO SPARE WITH ME!" I hear someone to scream in the gym, "WHO WANTS TO BE THE LUCKY BRAVE SOUL AND SPARE WITH ME!"

Everyone is murmuring about how they're not going to do it. I turn to look at the guy, he looks strong but not as strong as Darius. I yell, "I'LL SPARE WITH YOU!"

I run and slide in the ring. Kenya runs out of the office and runs downstairs and Darius limps behind her. "Slim!" Kenya yells at the guys I'm about to fight, "She might not look strong, but Sabrina is stronger than she looks. Just look at Dare." I look over at Darius, he had more bruise than I have on his face, he has bandages on his nose from when I punched him, he had a sling on his left arm, and he had brace on his right leg. I really feel sorry for the way I hurt him.

"Dare was probably going soft on her. If she wants to fight like a man, I'm going to fight her like one." Slim grin

Kenya rolls her eyes, "Sabrina, what are you doing here? We don't have training today."
