#LOST AND FOUND#

I was driving for 5 minutes when I hear a beeping noise. It was a signal for the location of the vehicle. Great, of course they had to have tracking chips installed when I quickly stop on the side of the road and pop the bonnet open.

I look around at the many wires not sure of what to look for when I see a single flicking red light which looked like a bug on one of the many wires. I take out the clip and smash it with my foot as I drive off for another 20 minutes.

I drive the car towards an open lake road heading downwards when I leave the handbrake down and jump out of the car. I smile to myself as the car rolls full speed and smashes into a huge rock down by the river while the other half of the jeep was in the water.

With that I cross the road and find myself deep into the forest yet it was familiar. I had walked the opposite direction and become surprised when I see two colourful dots on the ground. I walk closer and pick the skittles candy randomly in the middle of the forest.

"Genius" I mumble to myself as I follow the trail of skittles candy scattered every 5 or so metres. I laugh to myself when I see the skittles packet littered on the ground as I pick it up and fill it with the now dirty candy pieces that led me here. I take the familiar scene of the cottage below by the river but see an unfamiliar van.

As I near the cottage house I hear loud voices and see the blinds were closed and the door was slightly open. I walk around cautiously and flinch when I hear a single gunshot. I walk in from the back door into the spacious living room and see her laying in a pool of blood. The woman who helped me lay there helpless with a riffle by her side.

I hear the van retrieving when everything unusually falls quiet.

I rush to Lindy and help her out when she mumbles to me slowly.

"Hey, it's okay... take it easy" I say as I try to soak the blood from her chest with a cloth nearby.

"You're all in... danger.... they're coming for you..." She chokes to me when I give a confused expression and let her speak at her pace.

"Your father will not... stop..." She says when I ask with tears burning my eyes out of all the many questions popping in my head, "Why hurt you...?"

As she says her last words I get shocked as I hear many gunshot fire at once outside. With that happening in a span of a minute, the door slams opens and there he stood.

All he saw was red.

Mr Hales POV

I was heading to my grandmother's house Lindy which was about half an hour away from my place. It was silent for a while when my phone vibrates in my jacket pocket. I pull it out and say in a low tone "Speak".

According to Jake, my cousin who was in fact good at his job of finding people had a hit on my number one enemy. Well, most recent enemy for I have many enemies. It's one of the perks in this line of work and of this life. I listen carefully to the location when it pops up onto the screen of my car by the dashboard. There was the location of the last place I would imagine them to be.

I could feel my blood boil as I pull in front of the friendly cottage that had been my second home and see three men getting inside their van. With that I pull both my guns out and wait as they gain momentum and head straight at me. With no time to waste I pull the triggers and shoot both the headlights as the air bags go off and the van swerves right into the harsh current of the river which I remember once was peaceful.

I run towards the house and slam the door open only to find my grandmother limp on the floor. Not only that but she was there standing upon her body with the rifle in her hands. I couldn't comprehend at that moment when all I wanted to do was to kill her.

Though before I did that I had other plans as I drive back and drag her to the soundproof basement under the house for 'special' guests. My men had taken care of my grandmother and we had finished the funeral just in time for Alex to gain consciousness. She looked small and fragile chained up by her arms while her legs slightly dangled in the air.

"Don't bother. You deserve what you have coming for you." With that I punch her by her ribs twice and watch her heave in pain.

"From now on, you will be... nothing" I snicker at her as I loosen the chains from the ceiling and watch her fall limp to the ground in pain.

"We start first thing in the morning" I sate coldly and turn to leave her alone and hurt.

Just like me.
