His Best Friends Daughter- BK1 TPBS 1st draft

-34-

Not edited.

Damon was past the point of murder. He wanted slow and fucking torturous retribution. He wanted to see the sick fuck bleed out. He wanted to dismember the sick fuck. He thrilled at the thought of having the creature screaming as he caused irrevocable pain.

"Calm down Dam" .

"Calm down? Calm the fuck down?" His hands scrunched up into fists. "Tell me Lucas... what would you do if it was the woman you loved going through this?"

"She's dead. I'll never love again. I just need an incubator."

Damon was shocked at his brothers response but too angry too take it further. He would at a later date.

"Look, this is my line of... business. Going off the handle won't do you or Anna any good."

"I fucking left her there alone. He could have done anything to her! He could have taken her!"

"But he didn't. Look we need to look over the plans of the house again. Obviously there's more to this place than we first thought..."

"I'm in fucking security Luc... how did he get past me?"

"You're emotionally involved. It happens... where are the girls now?"

"Ben and Max have them in the lounge room. They're trying to convince them to sleep. It's been a fucked up night. Fuck... all this in one night and I'm going crazy. That fucker had Anna for weeks! I want him dead!"

"He will be."

They sat quietly for a moment considering their next step when Maxon stuck his head in the door.

"Red has a theory."

"Then bring her the fuck in here!"

"Relax Dam... I am." He pulled the girl into the office with him.

"Red. are you going to save the day again?"

"I hope so. I need the plans to the house."

Damon stood up and grabbed the plans from the top of the file as Maxon closed the door and stood in front of it. Lucas raised an etebrow at him.

"What? Last time she looked at plans she raced off and we couldn't catch her."

Lucas chuckled lightly. Damon smiled a little while Red rolled her eyes.

"Not my fault you're old and running out of stamina and can't keep up."

Damon and Lucas both laughed as tension eased a little. Maxon glared at her.

"If you were older I'd show you just how much stamina I have!"

"You're cute." Then she turned away leaving him open mouthed as she dismissed him.

The plans laid out in front of her had her looking room to room.

"I know how he got into the room."

Lucas looked at her "If you ever become a detective I'm changing my profession. You're the definition of my worst nightmare."

"How?" Damon looked down at the plans.

"Look at the width of this room compared to the guest room."

All three men looked at the plans when it clicked.

"There's a fucking false wall!" Damon exclaimed.

"Look further... it goes down the stairs and to the kitchen. Then see here... there's a cellar. It doesn't show it on this but I bet that there's an entry into the tunnels down there."

Three men looked at her in awe before dragging themselves back to reality.

"I'll get some men to have a look."

"In the morning Luc. We're all exhausted and if we know they're looking down there then we won't sleep."

"Sleeping in the bedrooms?"

"Oh fuck no. We're all sleeping in the lounge room with the girls in the middle of us."

"I'll have guards posted."

"Thanks Luc..."

"Oh come on... you aren't that old. Let's go look in the cellar!"

"You won't be anywhere near the cellar young lady" Maxon informed her.

She stamped her foot "Stop treating me like a child!"

"Stamping your foot just proves you are one" he pointed out.

"I'm changing my career choice. I'm becoming a damned detective so I can see some damn action!"

She pushed past them and stomped her way to the lounge room with the men following easily. Ben was sitting next to an empty fireplace while Anna stood staring at the stars fading in the final darkness of the night.

"Were you right?"

"Yep. We go to the cellar tomorrow."

Anna turned suddenly with fear on her face. She looked at Damon who was walking his way to her.

"Damon..."

"Yes love?"

"There's..." she gulped "there's a room..."

"Where?"

"Hidden behind a false wall."

"Where Anna? Tell me love. Please!"

"It's in the cellar."
