What was Ruby’s obsession with kidnapping and causing fires. Like seriously she could be a little more creative. I looked at nurse Heidi with skepticism in my eyes. “If Ruby did in fact kidnap your son why not to the police or find someone to help you?” She gave me a confused expression. “I have no idea who that is. The woman who took my child, her name is Sabrina Baxter. I did not go to the cops because she said she would kill my boy.”I could understand why she was scared, and that was with not actually knowing who she was dealing with. “Ruby is Sabrina’s real name. She has been using a false alias for years and I recently found out about it. Look, I will help you get your son back, but after you will need to go to the police and tell them everything. Deal?” nurse Heidi stared at me with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. “If you can save him, I will do anything you want. I will be indebted to you for life.”I was going to get more information from her but then my phone rang. It was Moa
Of all the people who would have told Ruby about Emma’s plans and mine the last person I would suspect of doing so was Lucas. He was loyal to a fault when it came to Emma so why would he tell her? “What did Lucas tell you Ruby? You sound like a crazy person right now.” I asked wondering. Ruby laughed and said, “I know about everything do you hear me. About my job, about her long-term relationship with Shane, even the fact that she was behind my brother’s murder! And so much more.” I gulped not knowing what to say further. Then a slick smile went over my lips. There were still plenty of things Lucas had no idea about. “Oh, did he also tell you that when you put the cabin ablaze someone very important was there and saw the whole thing?” Curiously she asked, “Who are you talking about? Everyone I care about are either dead or left me because of my asshole cousin.” I snorted. “Oh, I bet Tanner would be hurt if he heard you did not care for him.” The silence on her end of the line was de
I cannot say I blame nurse Heidi for running away. She was facing jail time and her son was still missing. Maybe if she knew why I had to rush out of here so fast yesterday, she would have stuck around. I could not dwell on it though; I did not have the time. I needed to find out where her son was after all a promise is a promise. With each passing day Ruby seemed to be getting more unstable and at this point I would think she would be capable of doing anything, including killing the child. I went and checked in on Emma before leaving to go see Kyle. She was looking rather well and that pleased me. I stayed for about a half hour before heading to Kyle’s hangout. I was surprised when I arrived to see so many people in one place. I wondered for a moment what other business he was involved in, but I pushed the thought from my mind. It was none of my business anyway. I walked up to Kyle, and he beamed at me. “Good news one of my men is bringing Lucas in, he was running away with his wif
The impact of the crash must have knocked me unconscious. When I came to, I found myself hanging upside down still attached to my seat by the seat belt. I had a big gash in my head and the blood was dripping onto the roof of the car. I looked around realizing whoever ran me off the road was nowhere to be seen. I tried to carefully unbuckle myself, but I went crashing onto the roof and giving myself minor cuts with all the broken glass that was laying around. I tried looking for my phone, but I was still a bit disoriented and could not navigate myself around properly just yet. I sat there in a daze for a few moments when a minivan pulled to a stop. A young woman came running over to me to assist me. I insisted I was okay and did not need an ambulance. I borrowed her phone and called mine, finding it in the back seat area. I thanked her and then called Kyle. I told him where I was and what happened. He told me he would be there in fifteen minutes then we hung up. The young woman was h
I do not think I have ever been so pissed off in my entire life. What the fuck was wrong with Ruby? How could she just destroy life so easily without a second thought. I had enough of this shit. I know what Emma wanted to do but I am not her. From that day forward I was going to do things my way screw what happens. My first objective was to find Ruby at all costs. She was going to pay for the deaths of these men. Tony walked into the room, walked right over to me and kissed me gently on the lips. I was a bit embarrassed since the room was full of people. I have never been a big fan of public displays of affections, however with Tony it was not so bad. Kyle interrupted me from getting lost deep inside Tony’s eyes. “The three men that survived said that the boy is there what are your orders.” I wanted to get that child away from that place as quickly as possible. “Tell them to rescue him but be very cautious. If there were mines there could be more traps.” Kyle nodded and relayed my or
I was frozen in fear and could not even open my mouth to speak. I knew Kenny was more than capable of pulling the trigger on his gun without batting his eye. I pissed him off, I own that but was this really necessary. “Hello dear. You seem confused as to why I would come here and put a gun on you hmm. Well let us just say I was given an offer I could not refuse. You see I tracked down Ruby for you and before I could contact you, she realized I was there. She offered me more money than I could ever spend to switch sides and join forces with her, so I did.” My anger at what he just said pulled me out of my frozen state. “Seriously? After what Emma fucking did for you, you are going to turn your back on her?” Kenny shook his head like I was missing some valuable clue. “Tsk. Tsk. I am not turning my back on her, you however, I owe no debts to. I am sorry it has to be like this, I really am. I like you Natasha, but I like my money more. If you have any last words, please say them now.” I
I was shocked Ruby called to ask me for help of all people. She was either out of her mind, extremely desperate, or maybe a little bit of both. I agreed to help her but only for Emma’s sake. Though I was not entirely sure how her relationship was with her uncle, I was almost certain that Emma would have gone after his attacker. I asked Kyle to send some men over to Ruby’s parents house to see if they could get a clue as to who may have done this to James Saxton. Meanwhile Kyle, Tony, and I would be going to one of Ruby’s safe houses hoping to find her or something to point us to where she was hiding out at. Even though she wanted my help there was no way she would let me know where she was at currently. Ruby asked for a temporary truce by saying, “I know the two of us are trying to kill each other, but my father is innocent. I have no one else who can help me with this matter. So can we put our differences aside for now and try to figure out who did this to him please?” I never pro
It made no sense to me why Dede’s husband would hurt Ruby’s father. In fact, I had no clue that Dede was even married. Kyle said his men were holding Todd in one of his many warehouses. We decided to go straight there to get to the bottom of it.We arrived at the location rather quickly. We did not waste any time and headed straight in. I saw a man sitting in a chair tied to it with ropes and zip ties. This man seemed like a hard fellow and I was not sure how easy it would be to get the truth out of him.I pulled up my own chair and sat directly across from Todd. “I am sure you are very uncomfortable being stuck to that chair, but if you answer my questions honestly, I will release you.” I said, but truth be told I was not so sure that I would. He nodded in agreement, and I asked, “Why did you shoot James Saxton? By the way in case you were wondering, you did not kill him, you just seriously wounded him.”Todd was furious that he was unable to kill Ruby’s father and he spat out in dis
