“Oh, hell no! I’m in this now, whether you guys like it or not. Danni, personally brought me into this, unlike you guys and I’m staying till we find her. I’m going with you. Just like old times right, Adam?”
“Fine, let’s get a move on.” We jump back in the car and head straight for home. My head is killing me, so I close my eyes to rest and find myself been pulled into a deep sleep.
“Where are we?” I find myself on a beach in just my Speedos and looking out on the sea.
“LA, we’re home silly.” Someone’s soft voice speaks to me, I know that voice, I open my eyes. There she is, looking as radiant as ever. Hovering over me is Danni, wearing a pink bikini that shows her luscious body off. Every curve in the right place, her hair is down and curled, her smile takes up her entire face and her sparkling eyes, shinning like crystals.
I grab her so she falls adequately on top of me. She lies on top of me and I can feel her perky breast squeeze on my skin that sends twitches through my body. I look into her eyes and I can see her sweet, kind soul shining back, her hair falls across my face and I use my hand to push it back and I bring her lips to mine, those soft lips are unforgettable. I grip her waste and pull her back. This can’t be real.”
“It is, look behind you.” I look behind, to see a huge house. Black gates, with a massive gold H in the centre, my dream house, now I know this is a dream. I look back at her with a smile.
“This isn’t you, you’re not here. You’ve been kidnapped. I need to wake up.”
“If this wasn’t real, could I do this, and she starts to grind herself on my cock, instantly making it hard. Fuck this, if this is a dream am taking advantage. I lean up grabbing her ass and swinging her around so she lying on the floor, the sand grazing over our skin, the sound of the sea is therapeutic and making me want to fuck more. I untie the back of her bikini top to let lose her breast. I caress them and bring her hard nipples to my mouth. I use my fingers to slip down to her bits. Oh wow, she’s so wet, it makes me want to go straight for the kill. I rip her bikini bottoms down and with my over hand I grab my throbbing hard cock and place it at her entrance ready to penetrate straight into her, her face is already flustered knowing what she going to get. I penetrate inside of her and without holding back; I thrust as hard as I can. As I come to blow, I can hear an echoing voice.
“Sir, sir. Wake up.”
“Fuck off, not now!”
“Jared, wake up!”
I jump up slightly sweating.
“What the fuck man?” I look down and notice my erection, oh shit! Why have a dream like that in a car full of men, fucking women. I try to cover it up without any of them noticing.
“Dude, you were so making strange noises, you dirty shit.”
“Shut up man.” The whole car is filled with them all laughing at my embarrassment
“Oh, Danni....” Adam takes the pissed; I am going to fucking kill him.
“Fucking shut up, man! You know that’s your sister and I’ve just been fucking her like crazy in my dream, and I have done in reality. So do you still want to take the piss, because I will give you all the dirty details that will haunt you till the day you die?” I snap.
“Don’t you fucking dare, I don’t want to know shit like that man. Anyway, if you want to play that game, you know I can give you the dirty details about me and your sister and she is a kinky one, handcuffs, blindfolds the lot.” Why must he go there?
“Fuck you, man! That’s my sister, what the fuck?” Tyler and Andrew are in buckets laughing.
“You two are so comical, it’s better than watching laurel and hardy this.” Tyler states,
“Laurel and Hardy?”
“They’re from an old show, it was really funny, my folks use to watch them all the time.” I nod clueless not knowing who he is on about.
“Were here sir, well at Alex and Andi’s.”
“Are you popping in Jared, or are you going straight to yours?” Adam asks,
“I’ll pop in quickly and say hi. Andrew, wait here and keep a look out.”
“Yes sir!”
“I won’t be staying long; I’ll be about five minutes.” He nods ok and I walking into their house following Adam. Soon as we are inside, Andi comes marching towards us.
“Any news?” She looks behind Adam to see Tyler. “Oh my god, Tyler how is you?” She walks straight to him and wraps her arms around him. “It has been years, why are you just popping up now?” Adam answers for him.
“He was the last one to see Danni; I’ll fill you in now. Let’s go into a different room.” As they walk into the kitchen, Alex comes over.
“Hey bro, how are you holding up? Are you any closer to finding Danni?” I nod my head.
“No! They keep moving, she had that Tyler’s phone and we tracked it back up here but its switched off again, it’s like they only want us to follow them when they decide, it’s like a wild goose chase, It’s bloody ridiculous.
“Do you guys need and extra pair of hands?”
“No, we’re good! You need to stay here and keep an eye on Andi and your kids; you can’t be too safe anymore. If they went after Carl, it’s only a matter of time they’ll come for one of you guys.”
“If they have Danni, am sure they won’t because she’s the main target right?”
“Suppose, then that makes me feel worse because who knows what they’re doing to her. How are my godchildren anyway?”
“They’re great, bro. I’d say go and see them but they’ve only just gone down.”
“How’s Andi getting on? I know how close her and Danni are.”
“She’s trying to put up a brave face because she doesn’t want to face the reality of what’s going on, but deep down, it’s killing her, well us both to be fair.”
“I’ll find her, bro! They want her alive, if they didn’t they wouldn’t have knocked her out with chloroform. Just means they have bigger plans for her, which scares me more.”
“So who is this dude?” He nods his way towards Tyler.
“That is Danni first love, apparently.”
“That must be awkward.”
“I want to rip him apart every time I see him.” I smirk,
“You know I can hear you right? It’s funny how threaten you are by me, from a relationship that happened years ago.” Tyler smugly states,
“Do you have any idea how much I could end you right now? I have done to others for less.” I snap,
“But you won’t because you know how important I am to Adam and Danni.”
“Don’t test me, I still will.”
“Even though Adam is pretty pissed at me at the moment, he’d stop you and not just that, I could wipe the floor with you, I won’t because of Danni. Don’t forget, there is a lot of history there. I’ve known Adam since we were kids, just like Danni and Carl was. So no matter how threaten you feel towards me, get over it.” I roll my eyes at him, I cannot be arsed with the pettiness.”
“Alex, I’m going to head out. Tell Adam to meet me back at my place in a hour.”
“Will do, bro! See you soon.”

Once I’m back home, I head straight for a shower. I put the setting on high, as I like the water scorching hot. As I step inside walk in shower the drops of the water stings each time they hit my skin with the heat, but immediately my body temperature adapts to the heat.
As I’m soaking the water in, my mind goes on over drive thinking not just of Danni, but of Sabrina as well and my entire life. The good, the bad and the really bad, life isn’t easy. People go on in life thinking that if you have everything, your life is a breeze but its not. Life is a mystery, you never know what lies around the corner, whether its good or bad, it could be a new beginning or it could be death. You have light and darkness, love and hate. We all have these abilities in us and we cannot control them no matter what we do. It’s like were all pawns in someone’s great plan and no matter what we do to fight this, it’s a losing battle. So why do we bother? Because, we
have hope and we’re a sucker of our own integrity and ambition.
As I open my eyes I see a shadow through the glass, I jump as its starring straight at me.
“What the fuck?” I shout. They walk away and I slowly open the shower door, and pop my head out and grab the towel that I left on the side. I wrap it around my waste and head out from the bathroom.
“Hello. Who’s there? No point in hiding I seen you. It’s pretty weird checking someone out in the shower.” I scoop around my bedroom to find who it is and I find no one. I quickly throw on my jeans and top and head down stairs into the lounge. You have got to be fucking kidding me, what is she doing here? She sits there with her arms sprawled out over my sofa and smirking as if I cannot touch her. She looks rough, she lost weight, her face is pale and drawn in.
“You have some nerve coming here, Sabrina.”
“Well is that how you great your wife, darling.”
“Where is Andrew? And how the hell did you get in here without being noticed?”
“You have an air strip in your bark garden that much space makes me look like an ant, so I came through the back.”
“Well, this is a stupid plan as I’m calling the police.” She laughs towards me.
“Go for it and you’ll never see your little princess again, we both now you wouldn’t call them on me. You’d be putting yourself in trouble now wouldn’t you?”
“I’m willing to go down for what I did, are you?”
“Why would I go down? My hands are not dirty. I didn’t kill Danni’s friend, Phillip did and Dillon went down for what he did last year, so how does that come back on me?” What a bitch, she’s right as well.
“If you can’t go down for anything, then why are you running?”
“Because of Danni, that bitch is smart. She witnessed everything and the only reason she hasn’t spilled it all out yet is because she’s protecting you.”
“So that’s why you’ve got her, to keep her quiet? You may as well just kill her. Why are you keeping her around?”
“She’s the key to your demise.”
“How is she?”
“We all know you’d die for her and us keeping her is already killing you inside. We could be doing anything to her and because you don’t have a clue whether she is dead or alive, it’s crippling you within. Sooner or later, you’ll go crazy and lose your mind and you’ll stop being smart and lose focus and that’s when it will hit you.
“Well you’re mistaken there; we’ll see who gets the last laugh. Now get the hell out of my house.” She walks straight towards; she stands in front of me and goes to touch my face. Before she can, I grip her hand.
“Don’t touch me.”
“You know deep down you want me too, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss your touch.” She gets closer to my face; my breathing starts to get louder and her lips are moving closer and closer to mine.” “You can’t forget about all the good times we had together, admit it, you miss me.” My head is spinning with all the confusing of all these mixed feeling I’m receiving with everything that has happened. I close my eyes and try to block out the sound of her voice, as she saying over, and over again.
“You know you’ve been yearning for this, ever since it all happened.”
“No, I haven’t! I whisper, the images start popping through my head of what we once where, stop it Jared, don’t let her pull you in like this
My mind jumps from the image of Sabrina and I to a picture of Danni, I cannot say anything as I’m just smiling at Danni’s face and she comes closer and our lips collide and I feel someone’s lips our placed on mine, oh Danni.
“What the fuck.” Someone shouts, snapping me from my illusion and I open my eyes and see Sabrina locked to my lips and I push her away. I look up to notice Adam, Tyler and Andrew standing their watching us.
“You bitch!” I snap and she giggles and runs straight for the door.
Chapter Eighteen
“Sir, what the hell was Sabrina doing here? Was Danni with her?” Andrew asks,
“What the hell were you doing making out with her?” Another one asks, I can’t make two sense out of anything.”
“I don’t know, what the hell as just happened, I’m sorry, I’m so confused.” I cup my face with the palm of my hands, everything seems to be a blare, I cannot concentrate, my head is killing and everything around me is an echo.
“Sir, are you ok?”
“Yeah, just give me a moment.” I can hear his footsteps back up and hear him speak to Adam.
“There’s something wrong with him, I think he’s about to crack.”
“What makes you think that?”
“Just look at him, he’s shaking, his lips are talking but no sound is coming out. I’ve not seen him like this before and I’ve seen him at his worst. I hear footsteps come closer to me.
“Jared, I don’t know what’s going on inside that head of yours but you need to snap out of this, we’ll find her. You just need to explain to us what she was doing here. Any clue on where they are? Don’t snap now, Danni would kill us both if you where to wonder of to wonderland.” I nod my head yes, trying to get it together. I seen Danni and then it was not Danni, she kissed me, what was all that about? It doesn’t matter, I need to push it to the back of my mind otherwise I’m useless like this.
“Erm ok, sorry. She was trying to fuck with my head. She basically tried to say that Danni was the death of me. It’s all such a blare now. I thought I was kissing Danni, It was as if I was been tranquillized. My head is battered.” I think it’s all finally sunk in with what’s happening here. I feel numb, lost and sick. A dark cloud has risen over me, the storm has started and I’m the centre of its wrath. I always thought I’d be head strong and fearless in a situation like this and now I feel lost, alone and scared? Not for me, but for her.”
“Dude, seriously come on! There’s no time for you to have a meltdown. We’ll sort it out together.” Adam nudges,
“Ok, sorry again! What shall we do now?” I ask and Adam gladly takes charge.
“Well first of all, this has to be said. Dude, that was your ex, she is butt ugly man. What did you see in that? My sister was definitely an upgrade.” I look up at him in distain; he is just a right dick. I notice Tyler nodding, agreeing but shock with his outburst. “What? What did I do? You can’t say you weren’t thinking it?”
“I forgot how blunt you were, there’s a time and place dude and right now, isn’t a good time.”
“Oh, right, yeah! Sorry dude, I’m still working on my people skills.”
“It’s ok; I’m getting use to your outburst now, sort of. I see that’s where Danni gets it from.” I quip and stand up and continuing saying, “Well, where shall we go from here? I can look at any of the information I’ve got, I was tracking them as well.”
“Maybe they are some clues in what you have?” Adam suggests. “Where do you keep your information?”
“In my office, it’s just through those doors, opposite the lounge.” We stroll towards the white doors and stumble in and I fall to the ground tripping on my own two feet and whack my head on the floor. All I hear is an echo of laughs filled in the air. My head is bashed up and I’m aching. When I open my eyes, the room is spinning. I feel a wet substance dripping down my forehead. I raise my fingers to touch where I banged my head and shit that hurt. I look at my fingers and there painted red with the blood, just great. I slam my hand to the ground, furious at myself for getting a head injury already and feel something soft on the floor. I take a glance and they are a few photographs on the floor. I pick some of them up and look at them. My body fills up with all type of emotions, rage, pain, guilt and my chest is constricting. It’s Danni, her eyes our shut, her mouth is covered by grey masking tape, her arms and legs are tied behind her back, poor Danni. My face has drawn pale with worry if she dead. Adam interrupts me.
“What’s that?” I hand him a picture, waiting for him to blow. His face has turned red and I stand up holding on to my desk t
able to hold myself up. I look down again and notice a little white piece of paper with a note saying ‘NICE TRY’ and I glance behind my desk and notice the beeping and there it is. Fuck, it’s a bomb counting down from twenty seconds, I scream. “Guys, get the fuck out now, there is a fucking bomb.”
“Fuck!” They all shout and we make a run for the front door, we were lucky to be so close to the front door. As we run from the house and make a jump for the ground. I hear the explosion. I look back and the fire is huge, the smoke is booming up and everything is flying everywhere. My home has gone. Why would they do this? I sit and watch it burn. Everything was in there and now it’s all gone. I run my hands through my hair not knowing what else to do.
“This shit is getting out of hand, man.” Adam snaps, I just huff, as I know he’s right. He comes behind me and places his hand onto my shoulder. “Listen, we cannot stay here, can you hear the sirens? The police, the media will all be surrounding this place in minutes. Everyone knows this is your house. We need to move are asses.”
“We’re going to have to speak to them; the police are going to want answers.”
“And what are you going to tell them? Your ex did this?”
“That’s exactly what I’m going to say.”
“Dude, you can’t! Danni lied to them for you and now you’re going to fuck it all up, you go down she goes down. I will not stand by and let that happen.”
“What choice do I have? If I tell them they can have a better chance of finding her and I’ll just say she didn’t know who she was, I won’t put her in trouble with the police. Trust me? I would die before I’d let Danni take any fall for me and she’s in enough trouble already. I just won’t tell them the whole story, I’ll just tell them enough. Look, they’re here, keep your cool.” We stand up and see all the cars coming, the police, the fire engines and the reporter vans. “Here we go guys, just follow what I say.” My body is burning from the heat of the fire, my face feels dirty with the fall to the ground, this is exhausting.
