Their Soldier Girl
Page 13
“Don’t take the girl. Please, leave her,” she shouted.
“Lilly!” Azra cried out.
“Grab her, we have to go now!” a guy said, and two men with guns headed toward Lilly and held her at gun point and dragged her toward the helicopter. They got on, forcing her into a seat next to Azra and her father. Her dad had a busted lip and swollen eye.
“We have an extra passenger, we’ll see what the boss wants to do with her,” he said, and the helicopter took off as Azra hugged Lilly tight and Lilly looked out the window, not seeing any sign of any police cars. The cavalry didn’t make it in time, now what?
“Son of a bitch. They took Lilly, too. Fuck!” Brian yelled as the sheriff, deputies, and state police all gathered around the old private airport. His brothers were on their way and already calling in favors for help.
“Lilly is smart and well trained. She could help us track the men that took them,” Caden said.
“How?” Brian asked.
“Lilly will do something to let us know where they are. When she has an opportunity, she will take it,” Tatum said.
“That’s exactly what I’m worried about,” Brian replied and then his brothers arrived.
The second they landed they were in another private airfield, but they hadn’t been flying for all that long. Could they still be in Texas? A glance around the place and she knew immediately where they were. Dallas.
They ushered them through the backdoor of some building. A dance hall or bar or something, but it had apartments in it. They shoved at them, and Azra hugged Lilly around her waist as her father held his side and walked along with them. They brought them into a large room and shoved them down to the couch that sat there in the middle. There was a desk, some entertainment system, and a TV, and they waited, their guns on them. She whispered to Azra, “Lean closer.”
“No talking,” the guy yelled.
“I’m just keeping her calm. She’s scared just as I am,” Lilly said, and then guy kept straight-faced but then looked at the other guy. Lilly leaned back, and Azra glanced down and saw the cell phone. Azra squinted and then eased closer, helping Lilly hide the phone as she hit redial for the sheriff. He was the last one she was on the phone with. She then slid it down into the couch.
“You’re not going to get away with this. You know that, right?” she said loudly.
“Shut up,” the other guy told her.
“I know where we are. Doesn’t make sense to just fly to Dallas. What is it you want from them? From Mr. Arso?”
“I said shut up!” the guy with the gun closest said and then smacked her across the mouth. She didn’t fall back, instead she glared at him, thinking that he would die first when she got the chance.
The door opened, and she prayed that the sheriff was getting all of this and hearing the conversation. When a tall man walked into the room, Azra’s father seemed shocked.
“Camiere? What are you doing here? What is this all about?” Metra asked him.
“My ultimate plan.”
“But you weren’t involved with this. You told me you weren’t,” Metra said to him.
“I lied. I was involved from the start. From the moment Ezekiel said that he was going to blackmail you with this precious daughter.”
“So, now you want to do the same thing? You won’t get away with it.”
“I’m already getting away with it,” Camiere said and then nodded toward one of the men. “All I need for you to do is transfer that money to my accounts in Switzerland. It will be a done deal. Two million.” “What?” Metra asked.
“Two million transferred from your account right now. Do it.”
The other guy yanked Metra up from the couch.
“Pappa!” Azra cried out and reached for him, but Lilly grabbed her.
“No, Azra, just wait.”
Camiere stared at Lilly and licked his lips. “The social worker. Got some info on you, and they weren’t kidding. I’d get a pretty penny for you. Tits alone, never mind those eyes and the rest of you.” He walked closer. She was trying not to move from the couch. She hoped the phone was covered, and when the man reached out and gripped her jaw, she almost made a move but stopped herself. One guy had a gun pointed at Metra’s head as he transferred money from one account to another. Another guy was on the left of her, pointing the gun, ensuring her compliance. Camiere gripped her hair and yanked it back. She gasped.
“It’s done,” the guy said, and then Camiere nodded and the guy with the gun hit Metra in the side of the head, and Metra fell off the couch. Azra went running, and Lilly moved.
“Grab the girl, the buyer is waiting.”
“And her?” the one guard with the gun asked, looking at Lilly.
“I think I’ll decide after I sample her,” he said and pulled her up off the couch. As he looked back, his eyes widened. “What’s that?” he asked.
One of the guards came over and pulled it out. “A cell phone.”
“No shit, whose is it?”
She looked away, and he yelled, “Is it yours, bitch!” He struck her across the mouth, hard. He then yanked her back up. “Let’s move now. Leave him there, I don’t need him,” Camiere said, and they pulled her from the room. Azra was screaming as some big goon held her and brought her along with them. Lilly prayed the phone had worked and the cavalry would arrive any minute. She was in pain. Her jaw and lips were hurting, but she couldn’t make a move. Azra could get shot.
When they got outside to the parking lot, Lilly looked around them. It was just getting dark as the parking lot filled with police and unmarked vehicles lights flashing.
“Run!” Lilly said to Azra as Lilly punched the guy in the face and then shoved him to the ground. She heard gunshots go off and then Camiere grabbed her by her hair and started dragging her toward the SUV. She kicked and screamed and then swung at him. He swung back, and then she heard the bullets hit the SUV and then Camiere’s body jerked. He fell to the ground and all the police and deputies came running and taking out the bad guys. Lilly fell to her knees as she heard her name. She looked up and there were Brian, Simo, Jordo, and Colt, guns in hands from shooting Camiere and his men and helping to rescue all of them.
“He did that to you?” Colt asked, immediately taking in the sight of her bruises and battered skin.
“Lilly!” Azra screamed out and ran to her and jumped onto her lap. They hugged one another tight, and Lilly smiled.
“I told you I would protect you with all I had, didn’t I?”
Azra smiled and hugged her neck. “I love you, Lilly. You saved our lives,” Azra said.
She smiled and looked up at her men.
“We love you, too, but there will be punishments.” Simo whispered.
“I fully accept, commander,” she replied, and they shook their heads and prepared to explain the mess going on around them.
Epilogue
Lilly sat on Jordo’s lap by the large fire pit at Warrior’s Way. All the men were there, including a few new soldiers that were friends of the sheriff and beginning their transitions to civilian life. There was also a new therapist there—her name was Alaska James, and she was very attractive. She teased her men about how they looked her over when they first met Alaska, and that earned her a reminder about the men in town, including a couple of deputies and their friends, that couldn’t keep their eyes off of Lilly. It was all good. They only really had eyes for one another, and it was more like a little bit of teasing that ultimately ended with some passionate love making and a lot of possessive words of love.
She kissed Simo’s cheek and he caressed her thigh as they all talked about Warrior’s Way and a new set of soldiers coming in this week. She loved the whole concept about the place and how successful they had been since opening. It had been a safe haven even for Azra and her father, who weren’t soldiers but were in danger. Perhaps it wouldn’t be the last time Warrior’s Way was used for something other than for soldiers to recoup and begin their new lives.
With tho
ughts of a bright future and perhaps less danger, Lilly embraced the sensations around her and the new friends she could see more as family than anything. She no longer felt that wall up over her heart, or even a need to hide her feelings. A glance around the crowd and she thought about all that experience, all their own stories, and all finding a little bit of peace in Warriorville, Texas. This was home, and life felt like it just began for her, Simo, Jordo, Brian, and Colt.
