Chapitre 43: The least he deserves
NICK'S POV
"Bye." I wave at her and she waves back before she enters.
I didn't know I was staring at the door after she had entered for a while.
I bring out my phone since I didn't have anything to do at the moment.
I go through my contacts and start to walk away slowly.
I tap on Peter's number and dial it.
He answers the call after the fifth ring.
"Are you missing me Hart?" He asks immediately he picks.
"Yes honey." I reply dryly
"I knew it. I knew it. I knew it." He says and I roll my eyes.
"Are you home?" I ask. "Maybe I can stop by for a while."
"That's gonna be a problem sweetie."
"Why's that?" I ask.
"I have a date."
I had to look at the phone before placing it back at my ear. "Say what now?"
"I'm sorry honey, but I'mma have to cheat on you today."
"Who is she?"
"Well, she's nice, pretty, and-"
"You're probably going to dump her next week." I finish for him.
"No, I'm not." He corrects. "I'm actually serious now." I stopped in my tracks.
Again, I had to stare at the phone before placing it back at my ear.
"Wow. I never thought I'd hear you say that."
"Well, you better believe it."
I start walking again. "So you're not free tonight then."
"I'm sorry babe, but daddy has to date." He say and I chuckle.
"When you get-"
Suddenly, I heard a scream from behind.
I turn to the sound immediately and drop the phone from my ear.
It took my legs three seconds before it started running on its own.
Shit! Shit!! Shit!!!
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. No matter how fast I ran, I still felt I was too slow.
I didn't know I had walked this far from her house, and I don't know how I heard her scream, but something was telling me something wasn't right.
When I reach her front door, I hear another loud scream.
Shit!
I open the door hurriedly and rush inside. I check the living room, but she isn't there, so I go to the next room which was the kitchen and I found her sitting on the floor by the sink cabinet with her knees up her chest.
She was looking at something on the floor with horror and I followed her direction to where she was looking at and saw a man on the floor with a knife through his stomach and he was losing a lot of blood.
Shit.
I hurry to her side. "Spitfire." She doesn't look at me.
Fuck.
I put my hands on her face and she flinches.
"What happened?" I ask her.
She looks at me in horror. "I-i killed h-him."
"No you didn't." I reassure her.
She shakes her head quickly. "No. I-i-i, he he was c-c-coming at me. I warned, i-i-i warned him but- he wanted to t-touch me, b-but I told him..." She looks at him and chokes on a sob.
"Look at me." I turn her face to him. "He was coming at you?" She nods.
"I told him b-but...." She trails off.
"Do you know him?" I ask her.
"My u-uncle."
Shit.
Don't tell me her uncle tried to rape her.
She didn't stop shivering as she was probably in shock.
"Listen Raven." I begin. "You have to get out of here. I'll take you to Chloe's-"
"No no no. Not Chloe. She's out on a date. I don't want to disturb her."
Okay. Where else, where else.
"Okay, is anyone home?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "M-my aunt is not home. And L-lisa hasn't come home in d-d-days."
"Okay. Do they know he's home?"
She shakes her head again. "He was supposed to c-come home a few days ago. But he just showed u-up today."
So it's easy to dispose him.
"Okay, I need you to stand up and come with me to the living room."
"I-i-i c-can't."
"Spitfire look at me." She looks at me. "You need to." She shakes her head again. "Please." I plead with her and she stares at me.
I use this moment to carry her up. One hand behind her neck, and the other, under her knees.
I carry to the living room and gently set her down on the couch.
I have to move fast. There's no telling when her aunt would get back nor when Lisa would show up.
I crotch down to her level. "You have to stay here okay? Do not come out, and do not blame yourself okay?" I say and she nods.
I stare at her. "Spitfire." I call her softly and she looks at me. "Everything is going alright."
"B-but I-"
"You didn't do anything okay? You didn't."
She nods.
"I have to make some calls okay." I stand up but she holds my hand tightly.
"Please don't leave."
"I'm not going anywhere. I just need to make some calls."
"Please?" She pleads and I sigh.
I sit beside her on the couch and she immediately holds me.
I put my hand around her and use my other hand to bring out my phone.
I dial a number and it rings for a while before he anwers.
"Boss?" Comes his rough voice.
"Listen Ross. I need you to come with four men and two cars. Probably a van and a car. I need you to meet me here in fifteen minutes."
"Yes sir."
"And also come with cleaning. There's gonna be a lot you need to clean up."
"Got it."
I give him the address and hang up.
Raven's breathing seemed to have calmed down a bit so I slowly rocked her to sleep.
Minutes later, there was a knock on the door and I stood up to answer it.
Ross comes in with four men like I asked, and they stand in front of me.
"Kitchen." I say and the men walk to the kitchen.
"The man's probably near death, clean up his blood so the floor is sparkling clean, remove all traces of him from anywhere downstairs, so it'd seem he was never here, and I want everything done under thirty minutes."
"Yes sir."
"The car outside?" I ask and he nods
He bring out the keys and hands it to me.
I walk back to the living room.
"Boss?" I turn to him. "What if he's not dead?"
I look at the kitchen doorway. "Kill him." I state. "That's the least he deserves for touching my woman."
