Chapter 5 Nathan

I’ve made my way to the warehouse and it’s a lot smaller than I thought. I assume it’s to avoid any unnecessary attention to it, so it probably goes underground. The guards see me and step away, “I guess she really was important to you, considering that you actually fell for the bait.” One of the guards laughed.

In a split second both guards on the ground lifeless. I hired some snipers to help me out. If they weren’t doing their job I would’ve shot the guards already anyway, and the snipers for allowing me to die.

I walk in and see her in a lace dress while she’s being held by the arm by a man. And then I see Aaron. Why is he here? He looks mad. That’s probably a good thing, he must have not known anything about her kidnapping.

“Aaron. Did you know of her kidnapping. Why is she here?” Everly looks at me with wide eyes and her mouth drops then quickly shuts. “Nathan. You’re the reason I’m here.” She says quietly enough for me to hear it- barely. “I know, and I’m gonna get you out of here. I pro-“ she cuts me off, “You will? Why?”

“Do you not want me to save you?” I ask, raising a brow. “W-well yes but, why would you? We aren’t necessarily friends.” She mumbles with a slight blush. “Mhm. Right. And I care why? You’re an important person whether you know it or not. Some people in this world need you. And even though you may be antisocial, you help others. I don’t like dealing with you, yes, but I can’t just let you be raped and killed because of me.”

Her eyes turn glossy and she nods, “Thanks. I-I guess..” Aaron sneers at me, but doesn’t say anything to me. It’s clear he doesn’t like me, he never did, not that I actually give a fuck what he thinks of me, or anyone for that matter.

The man grins, “Well this is sweet and all, but she’s not going anywhere. So, we may take our leave now.” Everly’s face turns to panic as she darts her gaze to me and her brother. Without a thought, I quickly grab her out of the man’s grasp, seeing the bruise that he gave her. I pull her close to me, she’s cold…  really really cold.

I hand her to Aaron and he nods, taking her with him out the door as the snipers shoot all of those who come near them. The man, now angered, growls and throws an awful punch to my face. It misses, and I land the first punch of this fight. He stumbles back, holding his jaw, then grins. 

“She’s not gonna be safe forever. Has a tracker and it will kill her if you try taking it out.” They are tracking her?! They’re fucking tracking her?!! Enraged, I reach for my gun and shoot him.

My thoughts blur up in my head as my vision turns red. I skid out the door and make my way to Aaron and Everly. As soon as I get there I grab Everly and look around for anything that could hint to a tracker. “Nathan? W-what are you doing?” She asks. “Where is it? Where did they put the tracker?” I yell.

“Tracker? Why the fuck would they track her? Were they actually planning on keeping her there?” Aaron seems just and angry as I am. She’s lucky.. ish. “Wait! I don’t remember anything about a tracker… but-“ “But what?” I cut her off. “If you would let me finish, I would tell you.” She spits. “Everly, I don’t have time for your damn attitude. Where is the tracker?”

She rolls her eyes and points in the direction of her bladder. Aaron looks confusedly at her, “Are you sure Eve? They put it there?” He asks. “Mhm. That’s where I’ve had the most pain since I woke up After they kidnapped me.” “You need to be very specific on where it hurts, because when it comes to getting that thing out of you, it can kill you.”
