Serious problem

Nine looked at his phone that was suddenly ringing again as he picked it up and saw it was Lia again which made him scoff, so he let the phone continue to ring until it stopped.

"Come on Nine, don't do this to me answer" said Lia as her car was hit from behind once again as she jerked up and dropped her phone as she quickly picked it up and she kept her eyes on the road as she dialed Nine's number again.

Nine's phone started to ring again as he picked it up and scoffed, he wondered what was wrong with Lia? Always wanting to get her way, but he was not going to talk to her, or forgive her, not just yet.

"I am going to let her experience how it feels to be ignored for a change" said Nine to himself as he switched off his phone and he placed it on his desk.

"Why won't you pick up Nine!?" asked Lia as she dialed his number again but what answered was an electronic voice replied 'The number you are trying to dial is switched off'

"Nine, you can't do this to me, not right now" said Lia as she slowed down and her car was hit even more wilfully this time as it caused her to scream as a gunshot in the air followed as Lia started to cry.

"Come on, come on, where the heck are the police, I am not going to die here" said Lia as she cried and she drove faster, she did not want to die, she was still so young right now.

"Alright Cecilia, no crying, no crying, you are not going to die, no, daddy always says to be strong, there is no way they are going to kill me, I did nothing wrong" said Lia as she sniffed and she kept on driving, she realized that these men only wanted to scare her, if they really wanted to kill her they would have shot right at her and ended her already.

But they seemed to be taunting her, scaring her, she just needed to hold up till the police came.

Lia decided to stay on this route, so she did something risky as she quickly turned around to the other empty lane as the car followed after her and she accelerated while taking deep breaths.

…

"Don't' you dare Nine, don't you dare, she needs to know how it feels to be ignored, to have no one care about your opinion when you need them to, so stop this, she's just overreacting" said Nine to himself as he could not help but feel like Lia was really in trouble if she kept on calling him.

"Yes, she's fine, she's Lia, if she can't reach me, she will reach Dom, he's always been her prize after all, and you… you are just a side character" said Nine to himself as he scoffed and he stood up, he had more important things to do than to stay here and reflect on the fake relationship he had with Lia.

He just could not handle it right now, not when there was a literal war going on here.

Nine stood up from his desk, gathered some files and walked out of his office.

…

"Dom, we have a serious problem, the shareholders are not holding back, they really want to fight this till the end" said Nine as he handed Dom the files as Dom sighed.

"I tried settling this calmly, thinking that they would be reasonable and this will pass over, but they really do mean war" said Dom.

"So what are you going to do?" asked Nine.

"The only logical thing to do, call things to order, I want a meeting scheduled for next week Wednesday, 9am, I am going to settle this once and for all" said Dom.

"But you know it is possible that they will try to counter you" said Nine.

"I know, and that's why I'm giving them enough time to get everything that they need, while I prepare here, because there is no way I am going to let them take my company" said Dom.

"But Dom, what if they get all the shares that they need to throw us off?" asked Nine.

"Believe me, they can't do that, there is no way they can get enough shares to overthrow us" said Dom.

"The outsiders shares only amount to 40 percent, and the family shares amount to 60 percent, so I wonder what they will try to do to back up their claim" said Dom as he scoffed.

"I know what you mean Dom, but don't you think it would be best to break them before they can rise up?" asked Nine.

"Patience is the best Nine, besides, we are not barbarians, we need to act like civilised people" said Dom.

"Alright, I will tell your secretary to schedule the meeting for next week Wednesday" said Nine.

"Thank you Nine" said Dom as Nine walked out of Dom's office.

…

"How long will the police take?" asked Lia as she looked out the window, she wanted to get a good view of the people in the car, because they were going to pay seriously once the police was here, but she could not see their faces, the windows of the cars were all tinted.

Lia took a deep breath when she heard the sound of police sirens as she sighed a sigh of relief when she saw a police car behind the one following her.

"This is the police, park your vehicles and come out" came a voice from a loudspeaker.

"The woman called the police on us" said a man as he turned to look at the driver.

"Screw this, I am not going back to prison so soon" said the man driving as he swerved to the right off the lane into the deep forest as the police car followed after them and Lia sighed in relief when she saw another police car driving by her side and urged her to park her car as she nodded and she moved to the right off the road as she parked her car and she quickly got out of it as the Police car parked as well.

"Morales, get me that car, you wrote down the number plate didn't you?" asked Pete as he got out of the car and he wore his bulletproof vest as Morales got out of the car as well as he nodded.

"Yes Boss, I do" said Morales.

"Good, run it in the system, I want to know who that car belongs to" said Pete.

"Yes Boss" said Morales as Pete started to talk into the walkie talkie.

"Report" said Pete.

"We are chasing after the car Commander, they have nowhere else to go, we will have them in custody soon" came a reply.

"Good be careful, I don't want any casualties" said Pete as he replied and he looked at the car as he saw Lia and he was surprised.

"Lia??" asked Pete as he was surprised to see her here, under these circumstances.

"Oh Peter, thank God you are here, I was so scared, you can't even imagine how scared I was" said Lia as she rushed to Pete and she hugged him.

"Those men were chasing me, scaring me by shooting in the air, and they hit my car several times, I…" said Lia as she was ranting and crying.

"Wait Lia, calm down, you said shooting, are the men armed?" asked Pete as Lia looked at him and she nodded as she sniffed.

"Well It's fine now, everything is okay" said Pete as Lia nodded and she sniffed, she was so scared, if he hadn't come in time, she would not know what would have happened to her.

"Just calm down, we will catch the men soon" said Pete as Lia stopped hugging him and she calmed herself down.

"Report" said Pete as he spoke into his walkie talkie.

"It's a chase now commander, but we will have them soon" came the reply.

"I repeat again, safety, I don't want any mess ups" said Pete.

"Yes Commander" came the reply.

"Awww what?" asked Lia as she looked at the bumper of her car that was more or less already off her car and damaged and everything.

"This is horrible, my car…" said Lia as she groaned, this was too much, too much, she didn't have the money to fix this sort of thing right now, she did not know what she did to make these people pick on her.

"Lia, I need you to calm down and tell me what happened and warranted all this" said Pete.

"Well I was just minding my own business driving when that car came out of nowhere and started chasing me, and I called the police, and…" said Lia as she was cut off by a resounding gunshot as she was scared and she held onto Pete who looked into the forest.

"Report" said Pete as he sighed, he should have gone after them himself, he didn't want a sloppy mess up.

"We have them commander" came the reply.

"Good" said Pete as Lia let go of him.

"Sorry Peter" said Lia.

"It's fine Lia" said Pete.

"Alright, we caught the suspects, so I will need you to come to the station with me to write your statement, can you do that?" asked Pete.

"Of course, yes, I will go to the station" said Lia.

"Alright, Morales, drive with the lady" said Pete as he could tell that Lia was a bit shaken up.

"Yes Boss" said Morales as he guided Lia to her car as she got in and he got into the driver's side as he drove away and Pete got in the Police car as he followed after them.
