"Now that you've soiled her I'm not sure what my life is worth."
"I hope they gut you and leave you in the desert somewhere for the wild animals to pick over your carcass. Get your own ass to the hospital. Gage, search this fucker’s house; make sure you find everything there is to find on this shit.”
“I find out you're holding out on me Sanders I'm coming back and when I leave you won't be breathing. You’re only alive because of her, isn’t that ironic? I know if I kill you it’ll hurt her and I’ll never hurt her. Not even to rid the world of a piece a shit like you. But if you ever in your life cross my path again I’ll end you.”
“Oh and by the way she’s happy, she doesn’t even talk about you you’re nothing but a distant memory. If you survive them, one day when you least expect it, when enough time has passed and she’s forgotten that you ever existed I’m going to kill you.”
I left the building with my men trailing behind me. "How am I supposed to drive with this fucked up knee?" I didn't even bother to answer fuck him.
GIDEON
I'm sure my wife was wondering if I'd lost my damn mind, but for the rest of that day after I returned home I stuck to her like glue. My parents were gone and my guys were turning the Sanders residence upside down looking for anything they could find that would help in our quest to find and return those poor unfortunate kids who had fallen into the clutches of these demons.
We all agreed that time was of the essence, most of the victims had been gone for years already but that didn't mean it was too late, or at least that's what we were hoping.
"Is everything alright Gideon?"
"Yeah baby why?"
"Well, you've been acting strange since you got home." All I could do is look at her beautiful face and just enjoy the fact that she was here and safe and mine.
"I missed you that's all." Her face broke into one of her amazing smiles and my heart felt full and warm. She'd come so close, every time I thought of it my blood ran cold. She'd come so close to being destroyed, I would've never have gotten to know her, her beauty, her warmth. What would my life be like without that? In the short time that we've known each other she's come to mean so much, she'd become everything. I picked her up from the bed and sat her on my lap so full of love for her at that moment.
"What would you like to do today? You've been cooped up for days now, would you like to go out somewhere babygirl?" I held my breath as I awaited her answer.
"No I don't think so, not until we have figured everything out at least, maybe I can sit out on the balcony though that would be nice." Thank heaven for that, I wasn't sure how I would've survived an excursion, but the thought of her being afraid didn't sit well with me either.
"Are you afraid baby?"
"No, because you won't let them hurt me."
"That's my good girl." We sat like that for what seemed like hours just holding each other. Me reliving the horror of her father's words while giving thanks that I had her and my Blossom was just enjoying being close.
I finally sat her outside wrapped in a light blanket with her magazines and iPad and anything her little heart desired to pass the time. I sat at the desk I'd set up in the bedroom so I could still keep an eye on her as I caught up on work. My business had been neglected a lot lately, something I would never have done in the past but had no qualms about doing now.
Where she was concerned there wasn't much I wouldn't do consequences be damned. At least I was sure things were running smoothly under the watchful eyes of the men I had in place for just such an occasion.
I didn't spend too much time on my own business as I was drawn more and more to the mystery of just what the senator had been up to for the past thirty years or so.
I had a program running on my computer, it was kind of like connect the dots type of thing. What it did was find similarities and compared them, so far there were hundreds of them popping up, which meant this mess was going to take a while.
Hopefully the guys will find something helpful in Sanders' reports, I was almost tempted to get the Feds involved but as things stood I didn't trust anyone. This shit, if Sanders was to be believed seemed to reach very high up in society, I know how these people think, there's nothing they won't do to hide up their shit. Human life meant nothing to these animals.
