10 Chapter 11.

Benjamin's POV.

I had enough of her talking. She was talking as if she knows what I have been through. I killed my own best friend's father. My mother died because of cancer and my father was never there. He abused my mother. He was never there for me. He was always sleeping around. God knows how many children he has. The only one Sister I have is Charlotte. But she also has been through worse. Charlotte is my stepsister, but unlike Charlotte, I had a mother who loved me. Charlotte didn't have a biological mother, because her mother was a woman who would always sleep with any men she sees. She was nothing different than a prostitute. So my mother took care of her. She loved her as much as a mother would love her daughter.

But tonight hearing this woman tell me all that shit of how no one cares about me and how I can't handle the truth. That made me so angry that I almost lost it.

But as soon as she said I abused Sofia. That made my blood boil. Who the hell does she think she is? I have never lift a finger at Sofia. I may have been strict with her. I may have punished her a bit. But I never abused her. I just told her to do things. I never would abuse a woman. I'm not my father that smacked my mother.

'Don't you think she's been through a lot? You think you the only one that had problems growing up, shame! Growing up wasn't a fairy tale to anyone Benjamin grow the fuck up.' That made me take my gun out. I wasn't even thinking.

It made me pull the trigger. Thank god I missed it. My first time that I missed my target., and I swear I did it on purpose but next time she won't be so fucking lucky.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you think I'm going to be scared of you because you have a gun." She said as she started laughing. Is she fucking crazy? She must be trained or something. Who wouldn't be scared of a gun? Except for me, because I never cared about life since my mom passed away. The reason why I didn't kill myself is that I promised my mother that I would never end my life.

"Next time I shoot, I won't miss." I said putting my gun away.

"Anna, will you just listen to why he came here, please. Do it for Sofia." Marko finally spoke. None of us even noticed that he was still here.

And before she could even open her mouth two kids run from upstairs. Now I remember where I have seen this woman.

"Shit." The woman said softly but I could still hear her. Why would she say something like that? The boy looks nothing like them.

Maybe he's adopted.

"Where's momma?" Elijah asked as she picked him up. 'Isn't she, his mother' I wanted to ask, but I just couldn't. Something inside me was holding me back.

"Eli my boy. Let's go put you and Annette back to sleep." She looked directly at me.

Every time I see that boy I get a strange feeling. It's like I'm attached to him. It's like the same feeling I got when my mom was still alive.

"Come let's go Anne." Marko took Annette with and they both went upstairs to put the kids back to sleep.

If I knew there were kids here, I wouldn't have shoot.

I watched Anna take Elijah upstairs. I could see the boy whisper something to her and she just shook her head.

What I still don't get is why the boy keeps asking about his mother when he calls her mommy.

"So why did you actually come?" She asked walking from upstairs. And for the first time, she was a bit happy. I don't get, why she hated me when I came here but she calmed after the boy came downstairs.

"Are you his mother?" I asked her but her tune changed.

"None of you business Benjamin. Now, why are you here before I kick you out?" She walked and stood in front of me.

"He deserves to know his real parents." Somehow I never liked to know about people's business but I just wanted to know about him, even though it isn't my business.

"He knows his mother."

"And what about his father?" I asked but she kept looking at me for so long. And then she finally said "Asshole" she quickly then walked to the door. "What do you mean?" I asked her but she just opened the door and looked at me.

"Get out!" She shouted but I didn't care at first until she added "The kid has been through enough, his father left him." She points her finger outside, still looking at me.

"I'll be back."

I left and the only reason I did so was because I fucking care for that boy, somehow he got close to my heart. Because of me tonight he and that girl ran downstairs, crying.

I didn't believe that woman when she said his father left him. Because in the hour I was talking to her, I noticed that she doesn't tell personal stuff about people quickly. She knows how to keep her stupid mouth shut. But she was too quick to say his father left, and I know for sure she's lying. My gut tells me I'm right. And my gut has never been wrong.

Something is up with that boy, and I can feel it. I will find out. But I just have to paused that for a while, until just after I find Sofia.

Sofia is my first priority now. I may not love her. Yes, I may still want my answers but hell I would never forgive myself if she was killed because of me.

God help those people that kidnapped her because, because of them they brought the old Benjamin back and everyone knows that if I go back to my old ways I'm worst then this.

It's time!

I'll find you sooner or later Sofia! And I'll kill each and every one of you that had something to do with the kidnapping.

Looks like I will have to finally pay Damien a visit and Welcome back RICK!

------

It's been two months since Sofia has been kidnapped. Last month I finally swallowed my pride and asked Damien for help. I know I will find Sofia quickly if Damien and I work together.

Every day since Sofia was kidnapped I went back to that school I met Elijah and I haven't seen him once. The teacher said his mother and him left.

But that's a big lie because I have seen that woman, a girl, and Elijah together. Even though they were trying to act happy I could see Elijah sad. But the daughter wasn't as sad as any of them. She was actually fine.

What happened to the family I kept wondering. Did someone pass away? I get why the woman is sad, Sofia was her best friend after all. But the boy, he looks like someone who lost both his parents.

Damien agreed to help me, but he said he's only doing it for my mother, Lily. Damien lost his mother when he was eleven and my mother took care of him. Even though he lived with his father, he saw my mother as his own mother.

My mother and Damien's mother were sisters. Lily and Danielle. As soon as his mother past away my mother stepped in, to take care of him. She never knew Damien started his own gang. He called it the Knight dragons. Damien was never his real name. He changed it because of his father.

We both had 'Daddy issues'. One of the reasons we were best friends. I was snapped out of my thoughts by the door knock and my phone rang the same time.

I picked up my phone because the call was directly from Damien.

"I found where they keeping Sofia." Damien said and that moment, I was so happy. Finally, two months and we found it.

"What? Really are you serious Damie ?" I asked him.

"Just come to the warehouse." He was so impatient and just cut the call.

Damn Damien. Why the fuck did you have to be so impatient like me. The one thing we have in common and I hate it. Impatient that word has a million different meanings when it comes to talking or describing Damien and me.

In college, everyone said we never knew of the word patient. We always wanted everything our way, even if they didn't like it. We both hated the word patient. Especially when it came to detention. We never attended one detention even though we had like hundreds of times to be in detention.

Some teachers were ridiculous to think that people would stay hours in a room just sitting patiently for time to pass.

I heard another knock on the door, I can't believe that I forgot about the door.

"Come in!" I snapped. I can't believe they keep disturbing me. I'll kill this person if it's not important.

"Miss me, brother." Charlotte came in smiling. People say I'm a show-off but they should wait until they meet Charlotte before talking about me. She likes making sure everyone notice that she is here. She likes being visible.

"What do you want Char?" I asked, because I know she never comes to visit me for no reason.

"Well, fine. Any news on Sofia ?" She walked to take a seat. I knew she didn't just come to see me.

"I got a call from a friend telling me about maybe finding Sofia's location." I wanted to say the person who despises both of us might have found her. But knowing her she will ask too many questions.

"Then what are we waiting for let's go." She said getting up.

"You not coming Charlotte, and I was going before you came in. Wait a second, how do you know?" I can't believe I didn't notice that she asked about Sofia and I still just gave her an answer. I never told her about Sofia missing.

"Uhm. Know what?" I know she knows what I'm talking about. She's doing this on purpose. She's acting dumb with me.

"About Sofia!" I said getting up. Because she's not leaving until she tells me how she knows.

"Uhm. Newspapers bro. You know ho--" I interrupted her before she could finish because that was bullshit she was saying. No one knows about this except for a few people.

"CHARLOTTE!!" I snapped at her.

"Fine, Anna told me." Finally some truth I'm hearing today.

"Who's Anna?" How can someone randomly know about her?

"The person I'm sharing Sofia with." She must be talking about that crazy woman. I'll be the one that pulls the trigger to kill that woman one day.

"Okay. And how do you know her." It seems as everyone knows each other except for me.

"I met her, the same time as I met Sof--" she stopped talking and covered her mouth and add "Shit". It looks like she met Sofia already.

"When ?" I asked but she just got up and opened the door.

"Stop interrogating me, you can find out that later. Go get Sofia." And she left without even telling me. The women's in my life, I'll kill them one day. They just know how to start shit and leave me hanging.

I took my car keys even though I usually have a driver I wouldn't need him for today.

Finally, after a long drive, I got to the warehouse.

"You took your time Rick." Someone said behind me. But I always knew that voice. Damien knight.

"Just give me my clothes Damien. We got to hurry." As I turned around I noticed that Damien hadn't changed a bit. He still looked the same as I saw him years ago.

Even though I contacted him a month ago. He didn't want to see me. So we did everything through the phone.

I went to a room to go change into black. I had to wear a bullet proof vest under my black jacket just in case something happens.

I have been in the Mafia before, but I have never been shot. I guess I am too professional in this way of life.

I got out of the room and walked to Damien.

"You ready." I asked

"Let's go!" He said ignoring my question. I guess he still hasn't changed since the last time.

*****

"I'll cover you." Damien finally spoke as soon as we arrived. We took his car but not once did he speak to me. He kept ignoring me. The only word he said until we got here was "shut up Rick." It looks like he is still hurt by what happened years ago.

"Okay, just make sure you don't shoot her." I said and he looked at me angry. "By accident." I added.

He looked away and replied "Not all of us kill accidentally Rick!"

"Just stop with the Rick for fuck sake." He just ignores me as usual.

We both started getting inside the place. It was underground. Like an old station. Whoever this person is that kidnapped her must be skilled.

The place was creepy but Damien and I both walked until we saw a room and had a voice. Damien told me "wait." But I didn't listen.

"Stay where you are." A man's voice caught me off guard. Just then I heard a gunshot.
