I Swear It All Over Again (Book 1)

Chapter 10

~◆~Henry's Pov~◆~

"Okay I'll go in there and take care of the guys and you," Ray pauses looking straight in my eyes. We were just about to crash through the window in the warehouse, that Annabel was held in, "just grab Annabel and run as fast as you can, don't let them touch her no matter what. I want you to bring her back to the lair, I'll be there after I visit someone." I nodded, noticing that Ray had his hands on my shoulders. I looked through the window and saw that Annabel was still knocked out but she wasn't tied up in the chair.

Instead of smashing though the window like I thought we were going to do Ray just kicked the door down. He ran in and I followed him when I ran in there Ray had already knocked out someone. Ray had kicked another guy in the gut, sending him flying across the room. I quickly ran to Annabel and picked her up. I glance up at Ray and saw he only had three more guys left.

 It was pitch black outside the only light was from cars and street lights but it looks like there about to run out of light. I stop and look down at Annabel and saw that she still had her eyes closed firmly. I look back up and found out I have no idea where we are.

None of this looks familiar to me and suddenly I felt something on the side of my head. It felt hard and was pushing against my head I slowly turned my head and found someone holding a gun to my head. The person was wearing a black mask, black pants, a black shirt and pretty much all black.

"Don't scream or I will shoot you and the girl." I felt him push the gun harder on my head then I felt him put his hand on my shoulder. Then turned me around and we started walking back to the warehouse. I can't escape from him, cause he'll just shoot me and Annabel. And I know that Ray doesn't want Annabel to get shot so I just did what the man told me to do.

When we got back into the warehouse I saw that Ray was done with the guys. He was just staring at them, hands formed into a fist while they fell to his sides. Then the man pushed the gun to my head a little harder, clearly mad at something. "Captain Man." I stuttered trying not to sound so frightened or scared but failed to do just that.

 Ray quickly turned his head, his eyes growing wide as he saw a gun to the side of my head, and not only that but his daughter in my arms. Ray put his hands over his mouth when I looked at him with a terrified look. I found myself shaking when the man pushed the gun harder on my head again making my head tilt to the side. "Let him go!" Ray yelled as I saw Annabel's head move from the corner of my eye.

"Oh, I'm not here for him." The man lowered the gun down to my neck. I gulped and saw Ray take a step closer. The man slowly took the gun off of my neck, but when I saw the man point the gun at Annabel, Ray's hands form into a fist again.

"Don't you dare touch her, if you know what's good for you." Ray yelled.

"Or what?" He asked putting the gun to her head.

"Why do you want her?" I asked not even meaning for it to come out of my mouth but it did anyway.

"Cause I know that Captain Man will pay big bucks to get his daughter back," Ray's eyes grew wide again and he stiffened up at bit, "but since it seems like he cares about you too, I guess I'll take both of you. Plus I don't like what you did to my gang. I came back here to get them and I find that you have done that to them." Ray looked at the six men on the ground knocked out and bleeding.

"How do you know she's his daughter?"

"Is this your girlfriend?" He asked which catches Ray's attention while I looked at Ray, Ray instantly looked over at me with his eye brows raised. Why are we even talking about this now?  I shake my head no.

"Um no. . . .she's not."

"My head hurts." Annabel whines, opening her eyes and when she saw that the man had the gun up against her head. She almost yelled but had the idea that it was a bad idea, before saying. "Well, this is not a very nice way to wake up." He was staring at Annabel and I also never noticed that he wasn't holding me anymore. In fact he was now petting Annabel's head, slowly and spinning her hair in his fingers which made Ray really angry.

Before Ray could do anything about she grabs his arm and twisted it the other way. Making the gun slip out of his hand and hit the floor but luckily it didn't shoot. "Um. . .no." Annabel got out of my arms still twisting his arm his head tilted to the side she must have a good grip on his arm.

"Ow! You little-" He starts but got cut off by Annabel, completely flipping him over in a 360 spin. She ran over to Ray, falling in his arms as she hugged him Ray glanced over at me.

"I missed you daddy." She said to Ray as he finally gave in, hugging her back.

"Annabel you have no idea how much I've missed you," he pauses controlling his tears of joy, "but how did you find out that I was your father?" She let go and started digging in her pockets searching for something. She pulled out two pictures and gave them to Ray he took them and after a few seconds his mouth dropped.

"Annabel! You went through your mother's stuff didn't you?" He looked down at Annabel as she nodded. He switched to the other one and laughed, then pointing at the picture while saying. "I remember that one." She smiled as they came in for another hug Ray put his head on her shoulder, she nuzzled her head in his chest. Ray started to move side to side as he closed his eyes and I stood there, watching them. "Annabel you know that your going to have to go back home with your mother."

~◆~Annabel's Pov~◆~

"Can you come in?" I asked my dad (Ray) and he nods as we stand in the front of my house. Right now I'm kind of afraid to even walk in the house what is my mother going to think? Will she be mad or upset? I slowly opened the front door and looked back at Ray then opened the door all the way and looked in.

My mother ran up to me from sitting on the couch with tissues all over the ground. But she stopped when she seen Ray. Ray slowly walked in but stopped by my side. "Bella we need to talk." Ray said, seriously as my mom wiped her tears away.

"Fine, but Annabel go up to your room and get some rest." I slowly nodded and gave Ray one last hug before I go.  I broke the hug and walked upstairs to my room and slowly closed the door. I sat on my bed while pulling out the two pictures and looked at them for a long time. I laid my head on my pillow.

 After a while I started to hear my mother and fathers conversation cause they were almost yelling. I tried to focus on both voices but it was still a little hard to hear. So I got out of bed and slowly opened my door not making any noises from the door. I tiptoed out of my room and heard them a lot better, they started to scream at each other very loudly.
