The night was so calm and peaceful Mr and Mrs Macartney were sitting in their living room having coffee with Mr and Mrs Mendez when a black car pulled up outside of their home. Felix opened the gates and allowed the visitors to enter in. He walked over to the don't door and knocks before opening it." I'm sorry to disturb you sir but,there is someone here to see you." Taking another puff of his ciggar , Mr Macartney looked over to his wife and spoke. " send him in." Felix bows his head as he opens the door allowing three men to walk inside.the first man came and walked over to the sofa and sits.the other two just stood there with two guns in their hands.looking at the man as Mr Macartney spoke. "What can I do for you Mr King?". " why are you here? Mr Mendez also questions. As he flicks his ashes into an astray on the table. Mr King looks at His men and nods.the men leaves and stands outside on the porch." Nothing gets me riled up more than when I have enemies. You both took something of mine and I want it back." Mr King said as he pours some brandy into a glass.he takes a sip and leans back on the sofa holding the glass in his hand.
" Well I'm waiting " He paused and looks at Mr Macartney and Mr Mendez for an answer. " your clearly mistaken,we haven't taken anything of yours." Mr Mendez answered. " yes that's right we just want out of the mafia.we have family's who need us....I...I have a daughter and I don't want her mixed up in any of this...I want to leave this part of my life behind." Mr Macartney said as he held his wife's hand and squeezed it gently. He looks over to Mr king who takes another sip of brandy." You two have worked with me for years,you were both my right and left hand. I trusted you and you stole from me. You know I don't like liars so tell me why did you betray me- why did you steal my warehouse? Do you know how much money was in there? We stood side by side as we faced the Russian mob...I took a bullet for you both, or did you forget all that I've done for you." Mr King said as he raised his voice in anger.
" we haven't betrayed you nor did we steal from you King...your the one who betrayed us." Mr Mendez added as he puts out his ciggar.he then stands up and looks at Mr King." We took the warehouse because it was rightfully ours in the first place."
Setting down his glass on the coffee table Mr King stood up and fixed his coat cleared his throat and looks at Mr Macartney who was also standing to his feet.he walks over to Mr king and stands before him staring him dead in his eyes." What's ours is ours, and we don't want any part of you or the mafia anymore...now get the hell out of my house before I have you thrown out." The two men with the guns moved forward and Mr King raised his arms for them to stay back.he then turns an walks out the door." You will both regret this." He said as he closes the door behind him.
Mr Macartney looks out the window and watches as Mr King gets into his car and drives off.Mr Mendez then walks over to his wife and takes her hand." Don't worry he won't come back here ever." His wife nods as she wipes a tear from her cheek.Mrs Macartney went and sat next to her husband who was now sitting on the sofa." I'm worried,what if he comes when your not home?" He takes his wife's hand and squeezed it looking at her." I know we said we'd never go back to that life...but if I have to go back to that life...I will have to do it to protect you and lizzy...but I won't go back...I promise" His wife rests her head on his shoulder and sobs.Mr mendez looks at his wife and pulls her close resting his head on hers." That goes for me too...our family is what I live to protect." He said.
meanwhile Mr King was in his car heading home.he was angry about what happened earlier."Pull up the file on Mr Macartney please" he asks one of his men who took out a laptop and began and wasted no time in finding it.he shows the information to Mr king. He reads it carefully and stumbles on Elizabeth Macartney. He clicks her name and reads every single detail carefully.closing the laptop he looks up at the driver." Josh head for West Valley High and step on it." Sir" Josh answered as he looked in the mirror meeting Mr kings eyes." We're going to pick up Elizabeth Macartney."He said with a smile. Josh nodded and increased his speed as they headed to the school.
It was now 11:30pm almost everyone had left the party.there were a few couples still dancing and the teachers were all sitting together in the teachers lounge.they counted tonight as a win so they were all excited to plan their next event which was the prom.liz and her friends were in the hall dancing.she was wrapped tightly in Shayne's arms her head resting on her shoulder and her eyes closed as she took in everything about him,the way he held her made her feel safe. shayne was happy he just kept on hugging her and holding her close to his body. He looked over at Courtney and Lance who smiled as they hugged eachother closely.everything felt perfect. But there was one thing that kept playing over in his mind." What was Ethan and Ashley planning? was he really attracted to liz? What did he want with her?
Shayne squeezed liz tighter against his body.she opened her eyes and looks up at him." What's wrong Shayne? She asked, as he looked into her hazel brown eyes. He leaned in closer to her ear his lips parted as he breathes in deeply. She felt shivers down her spine as she felt his warm breath on her earlobe. " Shayne what are you-
She was cut short when he ran his arms up and down her back making her feel a tingling sensation." Ssshh" He whispered.his arms moved up and down her back and to her shoulders.he pulls away and looks at her blushing her cheeks pink and her lips plumped.he wanted to kiss her so badly. Gazing into her eyes he cupped her cheeks with his hands and leans and moved closer.She wrapped her hands around his neck and closes her eyes his lips was about to capture hers." Hey u guys ready to go? Courtney spoke as they walked over.liz's eyes opens and she removes her hand from Shayne's neck. he smiles at her and takes her hand as they walked out of the school with the others." What just happened?" Liz thought as she walks over to her car and leans on it slightly.she looks over to the others,they were all saying their final goodbyes. Her gaze met shayne's who was staring at her.his onyx eyes were recording everything about her.she wanted too look away but she couldn't stop looking at him." He was about to kiss me" She thought." And I wanted him to....oh my God am I falling for him?" She smiled to herself as her phone began to ring.she quickly opened her car door and got her phone.it was her mom." Hi mom...is everything okay at home? She asked feeling alittle nervous.with a hint of worry her mom lies," of course dear...we are jus waiting for you to come home.liz sighs in relief" I will be there soon mom don't worry everything is great.see you soon." And the call was cut.she walks over to Courtney and hugs her," guys I'm gonna leave now,my mom called she says everything is fine but I can hear it in her voice...something Is wrong...I'll see you guys soon." She said as she walks over to her car with Shayne following behind. Jus as she was about to open the door he grabs her hand and pulls her into his chest. " drive safe ok." The concern in his voice told her alot.she look up into his eyes Nodding.he kisses her forehead and release his grip on her.after making sure they all got safely into their cars,shayne go into his and signaled them to drive off one by one.
After they all left Lance and Courtney took a different route to get home.liz kept on driving and Shayne followed her.whenever he tried to catch up she would increase her speed.she was turning a corner and her phone rang.she quickly answers the call." Yes" She answered and turns again." You need to slow down you will get hurt."
"don't worry I'm fine nothing is goin to happen" She said Rolling her eyes and Blinking her tail lights she increased speed and drove off." Liz listen to me please slow down." Shayne pleaded with her.Sighing liz looked in her reveiw mirror to see another car following her.she looks at the number plates,it was not Shayne. The car was tinted,she couldn't see who was inside.she sped up alittle more trying to ditch the car but it was right behind her." Uuuhh Sha-Shayne" her voice was shakey." Yeah...I'm here" She looks at the mirror again then the road." Where are you?" Feeling uneasy he answered " I'm just around the corner...well make that two corners,why-what is it liz?" She looks back again and dosent see him but she sees the other car catching up to her.
"Shayne I need you...someone is following me please hurry!" She screames.
" What...hold on I'm coming!" He said.
Shayne couldn't think clearly he increases his speed more and tries to catch up to her.liz however looks at the road and tries to ditch the other car. "liz where are you now?...talk to me!"
She did not respond.he looked at his phone.
"Fuck...damn battery".. he cursed as he drove even faster." Shayne hurry please..I'm really sca-" that was the last he heard before his phone blanked off. Liz looked at her phone and saw the call ended." Oh no...what if something happened to shayne!" She thought to herself,she got really scared.she took a deep breath and quickly makes u- turn and went back to find shayne. "please be okay!please be okay!" She cried as she increased her speed.
The car slows Down and also turns an follows her.she was about to turn the corner when a black tinted van came out of no where and hits her making her run off the road.her car spins around and bangs into the black car that was following her.she tried to gain control of the the car but her head hits the steering wheel and she falls unconscious.the van stops and the black car slows Down.a tall man with a black suit comes out of the car and walks over to her followed by two other men with guns. They were joined by three other men who came out of the van." We got her Mr King." One man said as he stepped forward. Mr King lights a cigar and clears his throat." So this is Ben's daughter...she looks so young and ravishing...bring her." Two of the men walks over to liz's car and removes her from it leaving her cell phone behind.they walked over to the van an opens the door and puts her inside.they then drove off passing Shayne who had just arrived.Josh quickly hides his face so he won't be recognized as he drives faster.leaving shayne who sees liz's car and rushes over to it.he checks the car and finds her phone he then runs back to his car and uses her phone to call home.after a few rings liz's mom answered and he tells her to put the phone on speaker.she did and what he said next Shocks them to the very core. "Liz is missing." Both her parents were in shock as well as Mr and Mrs Mendez." What do you mean-how did this happen? Shayne sighs and wipes his forehead." I'm on my way home I will tell you what happened." He then ends the call and heads for home.
