Loving The Gang Leader Series

It was a lovely day outside, the birds are singing there's not a cloud in the sky, but what am I doing? I'm sat in my kitchen helping my mother with the monthly clean, of the already clean kitchen. It would be alright if I wasn't the only person doing the cleaning, she thinks of these ideas but doesn't like to follow them through herself.

I walk into the sitting room to see my mum, who's meant to be helping, sitting there talking with my younger brother, who also got out of helping.?

"Why am I the only one cleaning?" I ask, crossing my arms as they both look up at me, my brother sends me a quick smirk but changes his face before our mum can see.?

"Your brother isn't feeling well, I have to check up on him," she sighs, putting her hand to his forehead as he sends me another smirk, he wasn't sick.?

"He's eighteen, he's old enough to check up on himself ,especially, when you were meant to be helping me clean the kitchen," I exclaim, trying to prove my point, but my mum looks up at me mouth wide open, oh no she's annoyed.?

"It's alright mum I can help Maddie clean, I'm not that sick," he says standing, letting out a fake cough, which makes my mother push him back to sit on the sofa.?

"No hunny, Maddison can manage she is your older sister," she says giving me a hard look, I accept it and was making my way into the kitchen, but Wilson had to open his annoying mouth once again.?

"I told dad I'd go get him the ingredients for dinner tonight" as soon as those words left his mouth, I knew what was about to come out my mother's mouth.?

"Don't worry about that love, Maddison can do it" she says, I stop with my fists clenched but I take a deep breath in and smile, turning around.?

"Of course, anything for the sick little solider" I smile, Wilson thinking he's won says he'll go get the money from upstairs.?

"Well I was thinking, we're running low on the cleaning stuff so I'll pick some up, but it is a lot to carry, do you think Wilson will mind if I borrow his car?" I ask nicely, I knew too well he wouldn't be happy, he always hides his keys away from me.?

"I'm sure he wouldn't hun, here's his keys," she smiles, going into the draw handing me his spare car key, I hide the key as he makes his way back into the room.?

"Here's the money and the list of stuff we need," he says handing it to me, I smile walking towards the front door, once it's open I hold up his key.?

"Thanks for lending me your car Wilson" I smirk, I see his face full of shock as I walk out the front door, as much as he will try he'll never win.?

I arrive at the shop and I don't know why but I was getting really bad vibes, I try to ignore it taking a basket from the front of the store and start going through the list of stuff I needed. I was looking at the tomatoes, debating whether I should get a packet or just like two or three, when I huge bang like a gunshot came from outside, I drop the basket running out the shop not even knowing what I was doing. I stand in the street where people were running around screaming, like I should've been doing. Out of the jewel shop in front me walk around seven guys holding bags and guns, this should be another sign just to take off running back in the shop but I stood there, frozen staring at them. They run over to a car dumping the bags in the boot while also taking their masks so I could see their faces, one turns clocking me watching them, this was the final signal I actually listened too and took off running back into the shop and hide within the isles. I hear the doors to the shop open smashing following.?

"Come out!" A mans voice shouts, his voice ringing throughout the shop, I quietly walk into the next aisle seeing the doors right in front of me, I take off running and actually make it outside but I'm grabbed from behind and pushed up against the wall.?

"You saw things you're not allowed to," he says in a dark tone, I fought to get out of his grip, I literally thought I was about to die but someone shouts running over, I actually recognised him, but I was way too scared to try and figure out where from.?

"Leave her alone, we need to leave," he says, pulling the guys arm, literally.?

"She's seen too much," the first guy shouts, looking towards me but the second guy also shouts.?

"You listen to me not the other way around, now get in the car," he shouts, the guy lets me go but I drop to the floor not daring to look up, I soon after hear car tyres screech but then silence for a few seconds.?

I stay on the floor, until a woman runs over to me placing her hand on my shoulder asking if I'm okay, but I don't talk, I couldn't get those men's faces from my mind, the man was about to kill me.?

"Can I call anyone for you?" She asks, still trying to make me talk, I nod saying boyfriend I didn't want my parents fussing over me right now.?

"What's his name?" She asks, I unlock my phone ringing Charlie my boyfriend but I pass her the phone, I didn't know if I could manage a whole conversation.?

I look around while she's on the phone, police cars start piling into the town running into the jewel store, the woman who was with me shouted for one to come over. A policeman runs over but I still just look where their car was. The policeman tried to talk to me but I just couldn't, within minutes Charlie runs over kneeling down in front of me, I just wrap my arms around him and started crying, I was so terrified.?

Around an hour passes before I'm allowed to leave, Charlie drives me home in his car, the police tried to ask me questions but I couldn't talk, I was shell shocked. I could have died if it wasn't for that guy, we pull up at my house where Charlie opens the door walking me in, I hadn't spoken a single word the whole car ride.?

As we walk in, Wilson stands up off the sofa both my parents were there, he walks straight over to me.?

"So where's my car?" He asks, but he looks at my face and knows somethings up "you've crashed it haven't you? I told you she shouldn't have driven it" he says, but Charlie cuts him off.?

"Your car is fine you'll have to pick it up later, there was a robbery in that new jewel store, the guys that did it chased Maddie trying to hurt her," he tells them, that's all I could really tell him or the police, without bursting out crying again.?

"Oh, hunny are you okay?" My mother asks, running over to me my father close behind.?

"I'm okay, I just wanna go and have a lay down," I say, slowly making my way upstairs.?

"I'll be up in a minute babe," Charlie shouts,? as I make it to the top of the stairs I burst out crying, I could have died if that guy hadn't had come over when he did, I probably would be here.?

Charlie walks up the stairs placing his hand on my shoulder walking me into my bedroom, where I stay for the whole night.?

I was back in the shop holding the basket of food again looking at the tomatoes, when the shop doors slam open, in walks the guy again.? I drop the basket trying to run but I wasn't getting anywhere, I look behind me to see the guy taking big steps towards me as he gets closer and closer, the shop was getting darker and darker.?

"You saw things you're not meant to," his voice says in my ear, I scream help trying to get out of his hands.?

"Maddie," a voice says, but I still scream help over and over again.?

I open my eyes to Charlie shaking me calling my name over and over again, I look up to see it was morning, I was almost soaked with sweat, wow that nightmare was intense.

"You were screaming help in your sleep," he tells me, rubbing my back I look up and smile saying I was okay "why don't you jump in the shower while I make you some breakfast" he smiles, I nod getting out of bed walking into the bathroom, I knew I didn't smell that great.?

After a short shower, I walk down the stairs where my family and Charlie were sitting at the table waiting for me, I don't speak and just take my seat at the table, which was next to Charlie and Wilson.?

"Did you have a nice sleep?" My mum asks, I just shrug my shoulders playing with my food, the table was silent nearly the whole breakfast, I didn't eat a single thing I actually wasn't hungry.?

"Charlie and I are going to pick up my car now, why don't you come?" Wilson asks, I look up and shake my head, I really didn't want to go back there what if the men come back??

"Come on babe, it'll be good for you" Charlie smiles, I look at him and eventually nod, it wouldn't hurt to go I can just stay in the car I guess.?

I leave the table slipping my vans on, I was about to walk out the front door but my mother stops me wrapping me in a tight hug. I hug back a little opening the door walking out. Charlie shouts he's just getting his keys while Wilson was grabbing his coat, I walk down the path heading towards Charlie's car, but it was locked so I just had to stand there. Something in the bush makes me jump,? I take a step closer to it, fear creeping through my body,I go slow as I make it to the bush a white cat jumps out running down the street, making me smile to myself. I'm being so paranoid about everything even a cat in a bush, I was about to turn but something was put over my head making the world go black. I start screaming as I'm grabbed from behind, while someone else grabbed my legs starting to run, I fight against them screaming help.?

"Maddie!" I hear Charlie shout, but it was too late I was put in what I think was a van, the doors close shutting me off from the world. The car starts to drive down the road, away from my home.?

The ride didn't take long, along the way I take the bag off my head. I was right I was actually sat in the back of a van, as we stop I slam into the side of the van hurting my arm, but I had more things to worry about. The doors open a few men were standing there blocking my exit, I knew if I wanted to escape it had to be now or never. One grabs my leg and pulls me out the van, I swing my leg back kicking him where the sun doesn't shine making him cry in pain letting me go, I take off running the other men chasing me, I nearly made it out the area but a guy jumps out from behind the wall making me fall on the ground so I didn't run into him. I look up to at the man and fright takes over my body, it was the guy from yesterday, I crawl backwards away from him but I'm picked up and swung over someone's shoulder. I came to my senses fighting against the guy, cause I knew if I allowed him to take me in that big scary factory building, I probably wouldn't come back out, across the yard I see the guy I kicked still on the floor in pain, holding onto his injured you know what, at least I took one down but before I knew it, I was taken inside the building the doors closing behind us.?

The man walks me into a little room with only a chair in the middle, I'm sat on the chair as he grabs my arm I cry out in pain, that's the arm I hurt being thrown into the van. He didn't seem to care and tied both of my hands around the back of the chair and my legs to both of the front legs of it, once he finished he doesn't even look at me he just walks out, slamming the door behind him.?

"Don't cry Maddie" I say quietly to myself, I can't let them see me break cause that's they want, I need be strong.?

I'm left in that room alone for what feels like forever, the chair wasn't helping my arm at all, the door to the side opens and in walks another guy, at first I couldn't see his face but it ended up being the other guy, the one that actually helped me.?

"What have they done?" He asks, running over to me starting to undo the ropes keeping me to the chair "I'm so sorry, those guys don't know how to follow orders, I told them to check on you cause of yesterday not kidnap you, I apologise" he says, once he frees my legs he goes to my hands, I stand up walking backwards away from him.?

"I know this is so strange and scary but I didn't tell them to do this, come on I'll get you out of here" he says opening the door standing beside it, I stare at him not daring to move "or you can? stay in here alone again" he says, which eventually makes me start to walk over to him and out the door.? He walks in front of me smiling as we walk down a dark hallway.?

"I'm Brent by the way," he says, while we continue our journey down the hall, I knew this meant he wanted to know my name, he seems nice enough.?

"I'm Maddie," I say, he looks back and smiles at me, while we stop at a door near the end of the hall.?

"I just have a few things to sort out, once I'm finished I'll drop you off home, you can wait in here until then" he smiles opening the door, it had a single bed, a window with bars on it and a desk, that was it??

I take a look at him, does he really think I'm gonna go at sit in there with bars on the window, it's like I'm in some kind of prison.?

"I'll make sure no one goes in there to hurt you, but I need the right time to get you out of here, you understand don't you?" He asks, placing his hand on my shoulder as another man walks down the hall, I quickly walk in away from him.?

"I'll be back a bit later, get some rest" Brent smiles closing the door, seconds later I hear it lock.?

Did he really just lock me in this room, no no no I'm actually in a prison, I run over to the window looking through the bars, but it didn't shed any light, the factory place looked like it was near a dump in the middle of nowhere. I freeze, I didn't know what I was meant to do at this point, I mean if you're put into this situation what is the protocol, is there a protocol? I walk back sitting on the bed pulling my legs up to my chest, with my back against the cold wall, what am I gonna do?
