Dangerous In Black (three)

Twenty Seven

Elliot

Romani had guards feeding them once a day and Elliot could only find his heart filling with hate at the people who'd ripped him away from the man he loved. The same man who right now Elliot was sure thought they didn't love him; the same man who unfortunately Elliot knew wasn't looking for them. Elliot understood Alessando, hell he loved him so much, he'd practically studied him in their time together. He knew his mannerisms and how he thought and he knew because Alessando loved them so he'd let them go because god they'd done a good job at convincing him that they didn't want him.

Elliot watched as Laya sat beside him, sharpening a piece of plastic she'd found lying around. Their plan was simple, one man came down here to feed them, the same man who held the keys in his belt. Elliot would grab him through the bars before he'd give them their food and Laya would stab him in the neck and then quickly snatch his keys and escape. The time was soon approaching and Elliot nodded towards her at the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

Elliot watched as a group of men came into view and he frowned looking towards Laya, they're plan would have to be postponed. Romani seemed to be among them before he made a stop at their cell, a smirk plastered on his lips.
"I need you to do something for me." He looked at Laya.
Their cell door was opened and two men took ahold of Elliot.
"Call your boy,"

Laya gulped taking the phone before throwing it to the floor. This caused Romani to lift a brow before grabbing Elliot and stepping on his calf. Elliot gritted his teeth as his ankle snapped and Laya screamed.

"Stop! Stop! Okay!"

Romani approached her and rocked her jaw with his fist and Elliot fought to get away from their hold. Laya stood up quickly regaining her composure before punching him back square in the nose. Elliot's eyes widened before Romani scream echoed through the basement before he snarled at her.

"Bitch!"

He charged at her but Laya dodged him quickly before punching him again.

"Hold that bitch down now!" Romani screamed.

"You!" He screamed at him, "Call the Martini's now before I put a bullet through her skull."

Elliot shrunk back admitting defeat before Malia spoke up, her voice hoarse from the beating she'd received a day before for disobeying her husband.

"I'll do it. I made them tell Alessando they didn't love him. He won't believe them."

"Fine." Romani spat in Elliot's face before locking them in the cell again.

After the call, Romani leaned against their cell door, "Now they're coming for you."

Elliot narrowed his eyes before Romani left, "Set the bomb"

Elliot gulped oh god.

Laya had rushed towards Elliot quickly ripping piece of her fabric from her clothing to wrap his ankle that suddenly felt numb.

"He's setting a bomb!" He spoke to her.

Laya nodded, "I heard." Laya winced as Elliot groaned.

"Hopefully they won't come." Laya spoke, a tear slipping from her eyes.

"You and I both know they're coming."

Laya nodded and in less than half an hour later gun shots were being fired and the trap door opened.
"Help down here!"

Arturo, Allegro, Alejandro and Dallas rushed towards their cell as Allegro shot the lock off and rushed to Laya's side before Alejandro lifted him up before Elliot saw Dallas give Malia a look before rolling her eyes and shooting the lock offf before helping her up.

"Alessando?" Elliot couldn't help but ask.

Alejandro looked down at him, "He's keeping watch."

"We need to hurry there's a bomb," Laya said quickly.

"c'è una bomba"  Elliot heard Alessando screamed.
(There's a bomb)

This caused the group to rush forward towards the stairs.

Elliot made sure to look Alessando in the face, he avoided his gaze and as Elliot took him in, he couldn't help but let a tear fall. Alessando had large bags under his eyes, he looked like he hadn't slept in days and Elliot knew it was his fault and yet he'd still come for them. Even though his ankle hurt like hell he couldn't help but want to be closer to Alessando. However his thoughts were cut short at the impeding gun shots being fired at them.

Go!"

"Go! I'll cover you!" Alessando spoke roughly.

Elliot's eyes widened before Alejandro grabbed him roughly and hauled him to the exit. In the distance, Elliot could see Laya walking away with Allegro as his gaze turned back to Alessando who was crouched behind a metal cabinet.

"Time to go Alessando!" Alejandro yelled at Alessando from the door, Elliot looked at him worriedly wanting the man to come to them.

"Get him away from here now!" Alessando yelled.

"No! Wait! Alessando!" Elliot yelled as Alejandro picked him up and took him away.

"We can't leave him!" Elliot screamed thrashing before the building blew up.

Elliot watched in horror as debris flew all around them and Alejandro hit the floor with Elliot in his arms.

"Alessando!" Elliot heard Laya scream behind them.

Arturo helped them both up before giving the fire a large look.

"No!" Elliot screamed.

"No! No! Alessando!" Elliot cried.

Sobs raked his body as he could no longer control his tears.

"Go and get him!" He screamed punching Arturo in the chest.

Elliot could hardly see through his tears as he heard Laya screaming bloody murder in the background as Allegro raced forward into the flames.

"Take them Dallas,"

Elliot watched as Arturo raced after him as Alejandro and Dallas carried Elliot to the car where Laya and Malia were already seated. Laya was curled herself into a ball sobbing as Elliot joined her in the backseat. Dallas drove away with Alejandro in the front seat.

The familiar gates of the compound in the distance and as they pulled through, Greece raced towards them.

"Help me get them to the infirmary," Dallas said.

Greece grabbed Malia while Dallas helped Laya and Alejandro held him. He was laid on a bed and Dallas sat beside him and helped with his ankle. Elliot sat numbly beside Laya, they hadn't spoken to each other in over two hours and were alone in the infirmary with Malia being placed in a different room.

Elliot watched as the hours went by and soon Allegro and Alejandro stepped into the room, a hard look on their faces and suddenly Elliot didn't like the chances.
