I don't know how things managed to escalate to this point, but they had and there was no return. Lynn was tied in a chair, tied from her own free will, and desperately injured. A part of it was Bane's fault, since he so stupidly decided to kidnap and shoot her without consulting me. I could imagine seeing her fall to the floor with blood spurting from her stomach while a heart-lurching scream escaped her lips. It truly was a pleasant sight to imagine, quite better than any other fantasy I had with people I did not know.

I was still so angry at Bane. Fury, undeniable fury coursed through me when I found out that Bona, the chief of the police station, was Bane's father. I had to find out by myself, and when I did, the anger consumed me. I was filled with rage and incomprehensible fury when I realized he so eloquently decided to exclude that small piece of information. By doing that, it was a sign that he thought I was stupid and childish enough not to suspect it. He thought he could go through me. Oh, no. He was wrong. And that, was his ultimate weakness, thinking he could pass through me.

Of course, I couldn't allow this revelation to go by unnoticed. So, I waited a few days until Bane returned from Dublin. And when he did, I surprised him by throwing a punch. The anger was pent up inside of me for days, and I knew that if I killed another person it would be useless. The only way to rid of the current fury inside of me was to let it out on Bane. So I did.

We fought for hours. I still don't know who won, due to the fact that I blanked out through most of the fight. I only remembered how it began and that was it. Then, I presume he still had anger left inside of him, so he decided to kidnap Lynn. I am still angry with him. He knows it, and I know it. I don't think I can ever trust him again. After what he did to me? Lying for months, cunningly hiding the fact that the chief of the police station was his father? Oh no... whatever trust or partnership we had was diminished the moment I found out. Bane was a dead man.

Nonetheless, after he kidnapped Lynn a few hours later we somehow managed to get along. We planned to make it seem as if I was kidnapped as well. Fooling Lynn wouldn't be a problem, due to the fact that most of my face was covered in bruises. In the end, everything turned out to be okay.

Because seeing Lynn realize that it was all me, was absolutely enthralling. It was such a wonderful thing to see with my own eyes, and I had seen a lot of wonderful and amusing things in my lifetime. To see the realization dawn in her eyes as they quickly changed from disbelief, shock, and then to pure hatred at me, was amazing.

"What do we do now that Lynn is unconscious?" I asked Bane, my simper bigger than anything. The facade was finally gone and damn, did it feel good.

"Well what do you want to do?" Bane wasn't grinning, which made my smirk temporarily falter. "You were the one that decided to do all of this. The moment is finally here, and you don't know what to do, after everything that happened What kind of a fool are you?"

I gritted my teeth. Anger was still lurking beneath my skin since he lied to me. He may think he was off the hook for deceiving me but no, I would not let this go. And, the fact that he is blatantly mocking me is an insult more than anything. I cursed at him. "Shut up, you stupid idiot. Don't make me force you too regret talking back to me." My breaths turned ragged as I stepped closer to him. "In fact, I'm done with you and all of your crap. Leave now and don't ever come back."

Something flashed in his eyes that I could not distinguish. The anger was too prominent. The need to kill, to make him bleed endlessly for betraying me and for saying those words was too hard to ignore. I didn't want to kill him but with the way he was acting now I wasn't sure how long I could hold back.

He said nothing for a few moments and abruptly grinned. I should have seen it coming from miles away.

In a flash, he reached his hand out of his pocket and took out his gun. He cocked it in a millisecond and shot me, a soft pop emitting in the air. I immediately felt the pain reside in my shoulder, just above my heart. His grin widened as I fell to the floor, gasping for breath while writhing in fury.

"How... dare... you," I rasped out, clenching my shoulder. His finger brushed over the trigger again and this time I felt it in my leg. I roared in pain and agony, mouthing a handful of curse words at him. He then whipped out handcuffs and tied me to the chair. I spit in his face, fingers shaking with pure fury and anger, as I cursed at him over and over again, mouthing pleasant threats. I would love to see his body collapse to the floor as I twisted his neck. I wanted to take the knife on the table in front of me and stab him twenty thousand times until he pleaded for mercy, and until then, I would not stop. I wanted to see the life flee from his eyes just like I had wished for Lynn.

Defeated and immensely hurt, I watched defenselessly as he whipped out his prepaid cell phone and dialed a number. I distinctly heard three numbers. 911. It didn't take a genius to figure it out.

His grin widened as the operator responded. 911, what is your emergency? "I'd like to anonymously report that the man Owen Wesley is responsible for the serial murders that occurred for the past few months." I yelled and screamed and writhed on the handcuffs, ignoring the pain that emitted from the action. No. No, this couldn't happen. I still needed to make Lynn suffer. I still wanted to see her die.

He told the operator my address and that Siara and I were in the basement, and then ended the call. I yelled and screamed over and over again, wanting him to die-die-die for doing this to me.

"I'm sorry things had to be this way, Lux," Though Bane didn't sound sorry at all. "You were always too power-hungry, and in my business, I can't have people overpower me just because you can't control your emotions."

"How dare you fucking do this to me," I spit at him, anger coursing through every vein in my body. "When I get out of here I will slit your throat and stab you-"

Bane chuckled, cocking the gun straight at my face. "Like I never heard that before. I know you too well, Lux. I know that if I let you stay here and get arrested you will either escape jail in a few months or try to kill every police officer that tries to disarm you. I've let this go on for too long."

I sneered at him. "So what are you going to do?"

His eyes flashed again with an emotion I couldn't decipher. "Shoot you."

And he did.
