Chapter 53 - She’s alive!

*Yoongi pov

We arrive at the end of the driveway to 'Kenzies home and stop. The police concerned that if my father hears a fleet of approaching vehicles he may do something rash.

The lead detective, Inspector Churchill, waves all his officers into a huddle to give each of them their individual tasks. He sends two off to seal off the lane at the entrance and to stand guard there. Four of the armed police officers are sent to take up positions at the back of the property. The remaining four armed officers and 6 unarmed officers begin to approach the front of the house. There is also a helicopter above us. Namjoon and I are in our airport car but Trevor has been swapped out for one of the armed police officers. The general consensus that my father would become suspicious if I arrived on foot. Namjoon would not allow me to approach the door alone, insisting he was with me all the way. He is an amazing man, a true friend. This is dangerous and he has no vested interest in this undertaking. We wait for a signal that all exits from the home are covered and then exit the car, making a show of retrieving our cases, keeping up the façade of a visit as we are possibly being observed from inside.

My legs are so weak, my head is swimming, my body heavy. I am struggling to put one foot in front of the other but determination keeps me moving forward, along with Namjoons hand on the small of my back. I picture 'Kenzies face and immediately smile, my fear repressed. I focus on the image in my mind and reach out to ring the doorbell. I look over my shoulder at the Detective to make sure he is happy I proceed as planned but he is gesturing at me. He is drawing his finger along his neck and shaking his head, the other hand raised indicating I 'hold'.

He places a hand over his ear and then talks into his lapel, then looks back up at me and points forwards, which I take to mean 'Go'

I am about to ring the bell when there is a loud bang from within the house, followed by screaming! My blood runs cold and I start ramming my body into the heavy wooden door in an attempt to open it, calling out as I do. I make zero impact on the door, it stands firm. The police are running at us with a big red battering ram and wave us away from the door before two of them begin slamming it into the door. The detective is again speaking into his lapel, updating his team and the control room on the proceedings.

After 3 huge hits the door flies open, but not because it has been breached by the 'enforcer' as they call it. It opens because Bo has pulled it open and is standing there, pale, sobbing and trembling.

"Where is your Eomma?!" I ask quickly

She looks confused, blank. I feel annoyed, and it must be evident on my face as Namjoon says.....

"She is shocked Yoongi, and the word you're looking for in English is 'Mother'

"U-uup-ssssss-tairs" Bo manages to stutter

I rush past her and head for the stairs, taking them two at a time, the armed police following closely behind me. Horrifying images of 'Kenzie lying still, bleeding, the life draining from her, the light gone out in her eyes torture me as I run. As I reach the top of the stairs I see her. SHE'S ALIVE! I stop still and breathe a huge sigh of relief. It is only now I notice she is crouched, Shay laying on the ground, eyes closed and blood on the abdomen of his white shirt. 'Kenzie is stroking his head, screaming his name and pressing her hand into his stomach. There is a second bang. A door to Kenzies left opens.

I see the barrel of the gun as my father emerges from the room. It is still aimed at 'Kenzie.
