Chapter 14

Prognosis

Beau POV

All morning, I've been stuck in an interview room while the police, Frank Stalk and a whole team of judges work to try and free me AND save Ariella!

Pacing up and down the short room, tears fill my eyes as I remember hearing her on the phone.. Her comical feisty sarcastic attitude coming into play, but then her cries fill my brain and I fall to my knees and sob,

"Ari!"

The door to the room is forced open, and a judge; Mr Arthur Drew and Frank barge in.

"Got news?" I ask hoarsely, forcing myself to my feet, wiping the tears from my face.

Frank nods, "sit Beau."

I oblige and they start,

"Right. You have to stay calm ok? This is going to be a lot to take in." Arthur warns me.

"Just say it." I snap.

He sighs, "first of all; due to the recording we have received, and the voice recognition software which confirms the voice of Jimmy Green, the sentence you have, has been removed and you are instead on parol for two years instead.."

I stand instantly, "then what am I doing here? I've got to find Ari!" I all but scream, trying to make for the door.

Frank grabs me and pulls me nose to nose with him, "Beau. Listen." His voice is deathly low; it chills me to the bone.. What's going on?

I sigh and retract, perching on the table ledge.

"Ariella has been found Beau. She is in a bad way. We aren't sure as yet if she'll make it.."

The air to my lungs falters and I fall to my knees and scream.

Within half an hour, I have removed my belongings from the cell I share with Jason, my mate, and I'm in the car with Frank, heading for the hospital.

He's told me that Jimmy and most of his gang who were at his house have been arrested, and thanks to that one piece of evidence Ari risked her life for, they have an air tight case along with numerous witnesses, and they won't be released from prison.

I also have been told to brace myself for what's coming at the hospital; I know it's bad.. But how bad is bad?

Is it bad bad? Or just bad? Or is it like bad bad FUCKING bad?

I work myself into a frenzy, knotting my fingers up and biting my lip; we are nearing the hospital Ari is at.

It feels like a millennium how long it's taking to get to her.

Ariella..

Baby, I'm coming!

Hold on for me!

That beautiful, strong willed girl that I captured only a two weeks ago, that changed my life and turned it upside down.. Or should I say right way up has been beaten black and blue by a cunt who ruined my life!

And from the way Frank keeps looking at me, he's obviously ruined Ari's too.

I took her, and took advantage of her kind, loving, acceptingly good nature and then pushed her into the big bad world!

This is my fault!

I captured Ariella who in turn captured me.

Ironic?
