#WE COULD...#

ALEX'S POV

It's been a week of longing about and locking myself in the garage with Crate getting our project finished. Well, more like I was avoiding a special someone.

I of telling him of the news, we could've been maybe something for real. But too bad this love was one-sided. He could never love me for he is ruthless and cold-hearted. I mean, after the party Crate told me about what happened to the woman who was flirting with Mythias.

He ended up sending her to the hospital! A broken nose, rib and a severe concussion to the head!

But why would he do that? Wasn't she exactly his type?

I let out a breath and relax until my phone echoes through the garage.

"Alex speaking..."

And the silence for what seemed like an eternity...

MYTHIAS POV

"Do we have any updates! Any?" I yell in frustration as Jake and Dan shake their heads in unison.

"Calm down. Patience is key..." Jake states earning a glare from me but deep down I knew he was right.

"Hello." Dan answers his phone in a playful tone only for it to falter. His face reflected worry and that was not a good sign.

As soon as he hung up he looks away for a moment holding the suspense.

"I know you will lash out but just don't..."

"What is it?"

"Alex is in the hospital. But there are people asking how she got there; the doctors, cops and that's not all..."

"Who else is there?" I ask while trying to maintain my rising anger.

"Her fiancé."

FUCKING RYAN REKES.

How did she end up in a hospital? What was she up to?

"How did she get out of the house?" I demand in a low tone.

"Boss, she said she had an important meeting at this address" A guard comes and hands me a piece of paper that held an address written in her handwriting with a smiley face!

"What are we doing boss?" Jake asks as I take in the sudden situation.

"We work with what we have" I reply.

With that the boys and I make it to the shabby old hotel room in no time. The place smelt of rust and mold while the wallpapers were faded and slowly peeling off. Broken glass crunched under our hefty boots as we neared the stairwell.

Feeling eager to end this I bust open the door and there it was a half decent looking room that looked like it had been cleared minutes ago.

"Search the place." I order and they do as they're told. Throwing things on the floor looking for secret compartments leading us to dead ends until I hear Dan.

"What are you doing?" I ask as I eye his lollipop in hand.

"You know, what Alex does when she's stressed."

"Get rid of that." Jake states rolling his eyes as Dan shrugs his shoulders.

"Wait, I found something." I near the cupboards that were left open and spotted a packet of lollies. It has to be Alex.

I reach my hand for the lollies and behind it I feel the metal.

It was a laptop showing it's desktop page already.

"They must've just left." I say inspecting the folders and then information just looked back at me waiting for me to make a move.

"owwww." Dan curses and spits the lollipop from his mouth.

"Will this help?" He ask holding up a mini SD card.

"This was definitely planned. Question is what's Alex's part in this."

"She probably has a reason." Jake states while downloading everything and anything from the laptop while I paced the room.

"She could be setting us up. Something's not right." I think aloud and Dan looks at me with his jaw hanging low.

"Are you kidding me? Alex is in a fucking hospital! You think she planned that?

"Um, possibly. Isn't it obvious? She wants Ryan Rekes, I knew she was with them this whole time. I mean she wrapped us around her little finger and we lose her from right under our noses. Perfectly laid out isn't it?"

I question as Jake finishes up his work and stashes the laptop where it was found. Dan was about to reply until we her a chorus of footsteps heading down the hallway. Towards us.

The three of us run to the balcony and jump. Reaching the balcony next to ours we parkour our way down the hotel building. From a distant we saw the uniforms of security guys.

Driving away smoothly from them was too easy. Yet my mind was still in confusion.

Is Alex who we thought she was this whole time?

There's only one way to find out!

"I know you want to see her..." Dan trails off but I intervene.

"No, I have questions that need to be answered. That's all."

As soon as we reached the hospital we enquire about her and we were lead towards it...

Only to find her gone.

But nonetheless an elephant stood in our way... that being Rekes!
