Honey

Come hell or high water.

John's POV

"What the fuck are we doing sitting around like this Nick? It's driving me fucking mad." I have never been this angry, felt this sick in my entire life. Nick can do just about as much as me at this point. Fuck all. 

He goes to open his mouth but thinks tice as Lex skips into the kitchen. She thinks mummy is away for work. We both tried explaining it to her but failed miserably. 

We have friends in certain places that I could contact to help but they aren't very welcome in this town anymore. It'd be a last resort kind of call. I get up and pace the kitchen floor trying to figure out what I was gonna do. 

Just as i had pulled out my phone to ring one of our 'friends', an unknown number was calling through. I'm normally hesitant on answering unknown numbers but what the fuck could go wrong at this point?

"Hello?" I answer gruffly, showing whoever was calling I was not impressed. 

"John? It's me Cara..." The voice of our woman filters through the phone, my heart stops and the world slows as i let out a audible gasp. I must have captured Nick's attention already as he was up; standing right next to me, eyes frantically searching my face for any indication of who it might be.

I fumble with the phone as I quickly put it on speaker phone, mouthing "It's Cara" to nick. He immediately snatches the phone from my clammy hands. 

"Car? Fucking hell! Where are you? Are you ok? When-" Before he could finish Cara had cut him off rather abruptly. I was just focusing on her voice, it had been at least a week since we had heard it. 

"Nick stop, John? You guys have to listen to me right now. I was taken but I'm coming home. Hunter was behind all of this which I guess now, thinking about it is not surprising but I don't need or want you guys doing anything. I have a plan and I'll see you both in a couple of days. I'm okay, please look after my baby. I love you both... so much.." She says, she sounds as if she's about to cry, I will her not to, I don't know how much more I can take. 

"Car? Cara!" Nick yells into the phone, Lex must have heard Nick and came running into the kitchen, wide eyed and sporting a toothy grin. My heart sunk at her face, totally unknowing of the trouble her mother is in. 

Before we hung up, we could hear a muffled movement on the other end. We heard muffled voices before, what sounded like a door busting open. 

We both waited with baited breath- listening intently; trying to get something, anything that could be useful to us. 

There was a gasp before we heard the other voice, clear as day. 

"Hello Cara. What a nice surprise."

We both shared a look, one of pure, raw rage. We could feel the evil in his tone, it was sickening. 

"I'm calling them. I refuse to sit back and wait. She should not be doing this on her own, we promised her this kind of thing would NEVER happen to her." I say storming off outside to make a call.

Nick stares at me like i'm crazy but he knows I'm right. 

Come hell or high water, we will have our woman back tonight.

"What have you got for me?" Marcus asks as he lights a cigarette.

Marcus is a family a friend of ours. We've known each other since we were little kids. He owns a security company just outside of town, a successful one at that. I'll admit, alot of the shit he does is shady and he works with alot of shady people but they obvioulsy pay him top dollar for his work. 

I hand over my phone, if anyone can trace an unknown fucking number it'd be Marcus. He takes the phone from me and plugs it into some fancy laptop and starts typing away. 

After a few minutes of silence he grins and turns the laptop to Nick and I before butting out his cigarette. 

I was stunned. If this is where she is, this is like 10 minutes away. I begin to feel rage boiling throughout my body at the fact that she had been under our noses this entire fucking time. 

Nick notices my distress and places a firm hand onto my shoulder. "We couldn't have known. We are lucky she rang us and that you decided to call Marcus..." He trailed off looking back to the laptop. 

"I have an exact address. Do you need some extra 'help' or will you be right? Do you know what you're dealing with?" Marcus says leaning back in the chair and placing his arms across his brawny chest. 

I look to Nick, Do we need help? I mean Hunter aunt very big but he's not very stable either... By the look on Nick's face he must have thought the same thing. 

"What have you got?" I ask Marcus as he pulls out his phone and dials a few contacts. 

"I got one of my security guards and a friend of his who would be happy to help. Michael is ex Army and Jason well.. Frankly he's just fucking nuts. What do you say?" Marcus grins towards us both. 

"Send them over." Nick grunts. Marcus grins again and rubs his hands together before giving the men the go ahead.

We're coming baby.

Sorry this is a little shorter! Next chap is all the action and drama!
